New Shoes | The Magnificent Frog

https://hoverfrog.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/new-shoes

Problem editing XPages in Designer. 6 March 2014 · 11:49 am. I fancy doing a bit of this bloggery malarkey again but I’m a bit out of practice. I’ve got a new (well not that new) hobby and so I’ll be posting about it on my other blog that I’ve called New (Running) Shoes. Which is about me and running. Why not pop over a comment when I get something up. That is assuming that anyone even has this old blog in their feed still. Filed under Reasons to be cheerful. Problem editing XPages in Designer.

Reasons Part 3 – Necessity | The Magnificent Frog

Reasons Part 2 – Lack of Evidence. Secular Humanism – Need to Test Beliefs →. 6 February 2012 · 3:39 pm. Reasons Part 3 Necessity. I had no need of that hypothesis. ( Je n’avais pas besoin de cette hypothèse-là , as a reply to Napoleon, who had asked why he hadn’t mentioned God in his book on astronomy.). 8211; Pierre-Simon Laplace. Leading on from last week where I tried to provide an explanation for a lack of belief due to a lack of compelling evidence, this week it is a lack of necessity. Not at all&#...

Reasons Part 2 – Lack of Evidence →. 25 January 2012 · 6:16 pm. There is another group though who are labelled as apatheists. Apatheists or people who are apathetic with regards to religion choose atheism as a default option. Rather they don’t choose at all, they simply don’t care one way or the other about or for questions of religion. I don’t mind admitting that I find the idea of apatheists more than a little unsettling. How can people not care? Reasons Part 2 – Lack of Evidence →. You are commenting ...

https://doriblog.wordpress.com/2006/12/04/husband-cat-arrived-safely

An Ex-Pat in Romania and Beyond. Praise and Rantings on Life in Other Countries. Husband and Cat Arrived Safely. December 4, 2006. I know its a bit past the date, but I’m finally getting around to posting about the arrival of Pisica (my cat) and Marius (my husband). After about four or five days, she was back to her normal meowing, crazy self. He’s now working for a private contractor as part of the guy’s “crew” of electricians. He’s underpaid but its a great start. ...Posted in Pet Transport. Oh definin...

The Christian Label | The Magnificent Frog

Secular Humanism – Need to Test Beliefs. Reasons Part 4 – Unconvincing Arguments →. 8 February 2012 · 8:00 pm. Is of little value when seeking to understand what it means about the person taking on that label. It doesn’t tell us what that persons moral values or outlook are nor does it really tell us what they believe. The label itself is an umbrella term or superset of a wide variety of beliefs. Take some examples to highlight this. Are they liberal or conservative? Are they pro-gay or anti-gay? All we ...

Secular Humanism – Need to Test Beliefs | The Magnificent Frog

https://hoverfrog.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/secular-humanism-need-to-test-beliefs

Reasons Part 3 Necessity. The Christian Label →. 7 February 2012 · 4:43 pm. Secular Humanism – Need to Test Beliefs. The first tenet of secular humanism is the need to test beliefs. To quote from the council of secular humanism “A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted by faith.”. Does this way of living work? A Roman Catholic might tell you that it is a literal transubstantiation and...

Reasons Part 4 – Unconvincing Arguments | The Magnificent Frog

https://hoverfrog.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/reasons-part-4-unconvincing-arguments

Problem editing XPages in Designer →. 15 February 2012 · 7:00 pm. Reasons Part 4 – Unconvincing Arguments. Continuing on from last week I’m listing some of the more common reasons why many people fail to believe in gods or God. So far I’ve talked about different kinds of atheism. About evidence and how it does not lead to gods. And about how god isn’t necessary to living. Alone each of these reasons may not be sufficient to reject belief in gods in the face of the reasons that people do have for belief.

Reasons Part 2 – Lack of Evidence | The Magnificent Frog

Reasons Part 3 Necessity →. 26 January 2012 · 6:00 pm. Reasons Part 2 – Lack of Evidence. The late Christopher Hitchens wrote:. What Can Be Asserted Without Evidence Can Be Dismissed Without Evidence? There is, of course, a counter argument to this. Perhaps the presumption of atheism is false. We can accept that unicorns, dragons and cosmic teapots don’t exist based on lack of evidence but why should this be true for God? Isn’t the position of agnosticism intellectually more honesty?
