I assume that as no-one can prove there is no God, then atheists can only believe there is no God i.e. they have a faith based belief?

How can I pardon that expression when I know, that you know full well that I would find that very offensive? Sadly it says a lot about you of course, but maybe you can ask Jesus' pardon when you meet...

Yes, sorry, a senior moment I think! Forgot it's on the previous page.

During WW2 your uncle would have been in Italy at the same time as my Dad. Our Dad was with a field ambulance unit in the 78th (“The Battleaxe") Division and came to Italy via North Africa. I have...

Do atheists know there is no God or do they believe there is no God?

As I understand it, it will be a free vote (if ever it gets that far), so each M.P. will be free to vote according to his/her own conscience. I respect his opinion although I disagree with it and I...

I see the narrative has changed now. See: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crgg0035dd0o

This a quote from the article:

Earlier on Saturday, a Labour MS said: "Vaughan Gething and his...

OK! I guess it is pretty odds-on that any man of working age in the Valleys during that period was a coal miner! My ancestors came from Wiltshire (agricultural labourers) and Devon (copper miners) in...

Thank you - yes a very sensitive subject. I wrote to my M.P. to find out his stance on this and he told me that when it comes up for full debate in the House he will not back any bill because of his...

I agree. See also my reply to Robin Friday's Ghost repsonse.

The book was written in 1930 so yes, nearly 100 years ago but of what significance that is I don't follow. Has some later evidence come to light that disproves what he has written?

He was a...

I don't disagree, but I am not aware of any new evidence that has emerged that has undermined Morison's work which he wrote nearly 100 years ago, so plenty of time for that to happen.

Like you I...

The problem with these pesky Christians is that Christianity is not just a philosophy for them, it's a way of life. Hence you should not be surprised if they express opinions on matters relating to...

Question: do atheists know there is no God or do they believe there is no God?

I challenge you both to read the book and then come back and debate its findings with me.

Customers were unable to use Marks and Spencer's website and app for several hours on Saturday after it was hit by a technical...

There can never be perfect justice on Earth because the people who administer justice are human and therefore by definition imperfect. God on the other hand is not only supremely merciful, but also...

Actually that's quite an admission coming from an atheist. Obviously I don't agree with your second paragraph but I admit most people will acknowledge the historical Jesus simply as a great moral...

Yes but in this case, unless I've got it wrong, it wasn't the people who were ill who did the praying?

If you haven't already I recommend you read the book "Who moved the stone" by Frank Morison. A non-Christian, he examined every facet of the cruxifixion and resurrection* of Jesus and found that all...

I read somewhere recently that a myth/legend takes at least two generations after the last of the eye witnesses have died off to develop i.e. no one left alive to challenge any of the details. The...

A good summary of the positives of technology with only brief mentions of the negatives. As I have said, there is nothing wrong with technology per se, but there is sometimes in the way it is used of...

Robin Friday's Ghost - I wonder if you have had any further thoughts on this? I'd be interested if you have.

Very disappointing that he has played the race card.

I can understand where you are coming from now. As TP says you have been brought up in the Catholic tradition with a lot of man-made rules and regulations. I have admiration for the Catholic church...
