I find it very difficult to even watch so-called “vegan” content because the underlying assumptions made are just ludicrous IMO. Why? Because it’s all based on people’s fee-fees and as anyone who has watched my videos knows, I don’t give a damn about your feelings, only your facts. Any argument made on the basis of “but it makes me unhappy!” is just bullshit. I absolutely don’t care, which is why things like “ethical veganism” just make me roll my eyes. That’s why I decided to take a look at an article online trying to defend it and point out all of the places that it’s just ridiculously wrong. Continue reading The Rank Stupidity of Veganism

It Can’t Be That Hard!
I’ve been having a couple of different conversations of late but two in particular seem to dovetail nicely. First, there was one with a theist who insisted that we had to take things like the laws of logic on blind faith and secondly, one going on over on my YouTube channel right now with a philosopher who seems very self-satisfied that philosophy is the end-all-be-all of human intellect.
Come on people, it’s not difficult to figure out what’s actually going on! Continue reading It Can’t Be That Hard!
I Actually Had This Conversation
Last night, I had this conversation with a theist. It didn’t start off as a theistic discussion, it was about death with dignity and I had no clue it was with a theist when I started, but it all ties together nicely and shows just how clueless the religious actually are.
They’ve got some fundamental problems upstairs. Let’s go take a look. Continue reading I Actually Had This Conversation
Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 7
So let’s finish this up. It’s been a long road but we’re finally at the last section in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on atheism and agnosticism. This time is an argument against agnosticism and it will come as no surprise that they still don’t understand what the word means.
What else is new, right? Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 7
Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6c
We’re getting close to the end of our look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on atheism and agnosticism. This time, we’re on the last part of the supposed arguments for “local atheism“.
So far, I haven’t been remotely impressed but let’s continue on and see if it improves. Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6c
Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6b
Now we’re into supposed arguments for local atheism and I don’t really expect to be excited by what they come up with, but you never know. We’re getting close to the end of the look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on atheism and agnosticism. Is this going to go anywhere? Let’s plunge in and see. Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6b
It’s Hard to be Impressed
I was thinking about this over the last couple of days, but maybe you can relate to this. Have you ever watched two theists debate? It doesn’t matter what kind of theist they are, they can share the same faith or they can be completely different, but it’s really not very impressive if you approach it from the outside.
Why is that? Here’s my explanation and why I think playing those games is ultimately pointless. Continue reading It’s Hard to be Impressed
Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6a
Fair warning, this part is going to be long because it’s an extended look at “local atheism” and that will take up the next three parts of this look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy’s article on atheism and agnosticism.
So let’s get to it. This time, I’ll look at the introduction and first part. Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6a
Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 5
After really finding nothing impressive in the argument for agnosticism, it’s time to turn our gaze to global atheism and I can already tell you that the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy won’t be doing well here. Of course, the kind of people who would take any of this seriously, they won’t care what I have to say, will they?
Granted, that’s just more evidence that a lot of people operate as if they were religious. “You don’t take the Bible seriously because you lack faith!” No, I don’t take it seriously because there’s no evidence that it’s true. The same seems to be the case for these entries in the SEP.
Let’s take a look anyhow. See you below. Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 5
Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 4
Three parts down, on to the fourth. This time, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on atheism and agnosticism tries to make an argument for agnosticism. Is it going to be any more impressive than the last couple? I wouldn’t be holding my breath. So far, this has all been “we like this definition” and it’s never been about what the words actually mean, because they aren’t actually handling language the way it at it realistically functions.
However, we’ll see where this goes and evaluate it as it comes. See you on the other side. Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 4
