"There is no god" is a theological statement of faith. You're not agnostics. Nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 That's a very polite word for it Quilpy I'm going to have to look up this Randi guy. I'd never heard of him. Wasted youth obviously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Old Randi's exploits are well covered online, his Geller exposé is a masterpiece. One thing I will say is, If Atheism is a religion then not collecting stamps is a hobby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need look at every atheistic regime in history to see that they replace worship of gods with worship of the state/leader. We're not dealing with rational and logical cognitive choices here. Most people have wiring in their subconscious mind which predisposes them to ritual and many other things which normally find expression through religion.

TheTeapot Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 There was a great 'Storyville' episode about Randi. It's not on the iplayer at the moment https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04ndsb3 but you can find it elsewhere under the title 'An Honest Liar'.

Always on German TV shows. Ridiculous when you think about it now. Randi got him right as being nothing but a cheap fraudster. Apparently. Geller makes his money these days by suing people for libel!
