Anyway, thanks for clarifying!]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:58:23 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>Sam Norton</title><link>http://nmmng.co.uk/48bc7d39#1018</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://nmmng.co.uk/48bc7d39#1018</guid><dc:creator>Sam Norton</dc:creator><content:encoded><![CDATA["I have no problem saying that there is something called wisdom to which we should aspire, and that science can't answer all the questions in life" - which immediately qualifies you as a sophisticated atheist and means that we can move on to the really interesting questions like 'was it wise of McCain to choose Palin as his VP candidate?' <img src="http://nmmng.co.uk/Images/smileys/lol.gif" border=0 alt="lol" title="lol" width="15" height="15" />

More substantially, you elide that distinction between humourless and sophisticated in the rest of your post (tho' at least you do quote me as saying that I have humourless atheism in mind as my target). There is a bit of a pun in calling it 'humourless' because I have Hume in mind as the progenitor of it, most especially when he said that all books in libraries which weren't either logic/maths or natural science should be ejected as worthless. It's only in those excluded books that wisdom is found - and that's why I see the humourless variety as irrational.]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:23:19 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>Tommykey</title><link>http://nmmng.co.uk/48bc6229#1017</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://nmmng.co.uk/48bc6229#1017</guid><dc:creator>Tommykey</dc:creator><content:encoded><![CDATA[Would like to see how these cretins explain the snakehead fish, which can breathe outside of the water for short periods of time.

Then again, they're too busy trying to refute a caricature of evolution rather than what it really tells us.  You get idiot theistards saying "no dog ever came from a fish" when evolution tells us that dogs and bears have a common ancestor (ever notice when you see a bear walk on all fours how much like a dog it looks?) ]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Tue, 02 Sep 2008 01:06:18 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>Doris Tracey</title><link>http://nmmng.co.uk/48b8597f#1016</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://nmmng.co.uk/48b8597f#1016</guid><dc:creator>Doris Tracey</dc:creator><content:encoded><![CDATA[New Country Corn Flakes, New Country Corn Flakes.

I guess the answer is when it concerns Arizona Republicans.

I guess the TV camera that was there wasn't enough because obviously something happened and things weren't the same from that moment forward.

Wait, what camera?

Part of what turns me off about her is her "vote for me because I'm a woman, and if you don't, you're sexist" spiel. The fact that she was prepared to hand the election to McCain out of spite, knowing he would be horrific for women's rights, surely gives the lie to her claims of being the female Messiah.]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:45:38 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>Rose</title><link>http://nmmng.co.uk/48a4891c#1010</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://nmmng.co.uk/48a4891c#1010</guid><dc:creator>Rose</dc:creator><content:encoded><![CDATA["bloody woman" isn't sexist to me, but its not a phrase we use in states. You could just as well say "bloody man", could you not?

At first I didn't particularly like Hillary, then I started to...and now I'm back where I began. It doesn't come off as fighting 'til the end, like she'd like people to believe. Instead, it makes her seem like a childish sore loser.
