Recent increases in the numbers of those who reject traditional theism have spawned a vast army of god-defenders, the quality of whose work, in my estimation, has varied widely. It seems many of these new apologetic theists, being unused to the role, are not well-versed in the practice of crafting sound, coherent arguments. Consequently, you often come across some humorous, even silly attempts to "debunk" atheism. These are actually worthwhile to engage because untangling the intellectual morass can be an interesting challenge. Besides that, you just might get lucky and get a comment so funny or bizarre, it's worthy of submission to the Fundies Say the Darndest Things website.
But once in a while, you'll get someone who is simply not interested in defending their arguments. You're response just goes down a black hole, or is rejected for inconsequential reasons. The latter was the fate of a response to a post titled The Problem of Morality by one Carson Weitnauer, part of his "The Problems with Atheism Series" on his blog Simple Apologetics. Carson didn't like the "tone" of my response, though, as you'll see, I believe it was appropriate for his arguments. Besides, it was directly only at them, and not at Carson personally. Because the problem of the disappearing rebuttal is hardly new, I keep a copy for posting on this blog (to his credit, Carson emailed me a copy of my reply as well). Additionally, while I argue (and I think show) that Carson's case is ludicrous at best, his bogus claims are not uncommon, and serve only to spread popular myths that deserve debunking wherever they appear.
I recommend you read Carson's original article first to get the full context of my rebuttal. Portions of his article that I specifically respond to are in italics.
Upon reading this post, it's clear to me it contains a number of errors and misunderstandings which fatally undermine your case. I'd like to spell out why in further detail and look forward to a response.
First, your theistic bias is clearly evident, particularly in the unstated premise that good and evil, as well as moral truths, can only exist if the theistic god exists. Your arguments make sense only in light of this premise.
Second, the alleged problem you describe is not particularly an atheistic problem, but more properly identified as a problem for non-theists, because your arguments, at least in part, apply to deists and pantheists as well. They too do not believe in a theistic god.
Third, the following assertions are false:
"atheism…denies that there exist any moral rules"
"atheism affirms that all that exists is matter, energy, and space-time"
"these elements are not enough to support the existence of morality"
Atheism – the lack of belief in god(s) – neither affirms nor denies anything about moral rules. This is an irrelevant question to atheism. Does it make sense to say a-unicornists deny the existence of any moral rules? Absolutely not, unless you believe moral rules come only from unicorns.
In any case, individual atheists do believe in the existence of moral rules; clearly they do because they practice them each day. What they deny, along with deists and pantheists, is the existence of divine commands. They obtain these rules from reason, experience, and evolutionary programming.
You confuse atheism with the theory of materialism. There are atheists, such as animists, who certainly do not think reality can be reduced to the material.
I got a good laugh at your caricature of how non-theists view morality. Do you really believe we think of it as some kind of physical substance composed of matter, energy or space-time, as you suggested in your thought experiment? What a ludicrous straw man! Are you going to charge us with denying, say, philosophy because we also cannot arrange the molecules or "put the pieces together" to re-create it in a lab?
What you have to notice is that all of this "moral discourse" would just be in their heads! There is nothing really wrong with murder or really right about promise-keeping. Instead, it just happens to be the case that those behaviors are viewed as bad or good, respectively, by their humanoid society.
You just described the utilitarian, welfare-promoting aspects of keeping promises and not murdering, and then dismiss them as merely a view? As if the consequences of those things were wholly absent or irrelevant?
Let's imagine that, one day, bored in the laboratory, you set up the humanoid society so that murderers find themselves with an extra 10,000 laboratory dollars in their bank accounts. (Imagine a sick version of The Truman Show). This turns out to be enough money to pay for bodyguards, eliminate other genes from the population, and get their own genes passed down in a higher proportion to the next generation far in excess of other humanoids. On it goes for a few generations, and before long, you have a humanoid society that heartily approves of murder, and violently opposes anyone who tries to keep murderers from their deserved wealth and social status.
No, before long, you wouldn't have a humanoid society that heartily approves of murder; you'd have no society at all. Leaving aside the comical question why 10,000 "lab dollars" induces people to kill others, you've assumed that the murderers would not murder fellow murderers, or even their own bodyguards. However, this assumption makes no sense in light of the condition that I emphasized above. Your theoretical exercise is so illogical and incoherent, you should blush that you even suggested it could ever apply to the real world.
If you want to be a consistent atheist, then every time you go from "here are the facts" to "here is the proper moral rule for evaluating these facts" you should stop yourself. Then remind yourself: these rules are just a social illusion.
You've failed to demonstrate how moral rules are "just a social illusion". Your case, so far, is built on risible straw men that in no way approximate reality or the way morality is understood.
What this means is that there is no way to call evil "evil."
Certainly there is, if you subscribe to certain moral tenets which dictate that it's evil, say, to inflict involuntary suffering on others, with only limited exceptions. Because someone else may hold to a contrary moral tenet in no way impinges on this ability. It is irrelevant.
To summarize: under atheism, there are no such things or categories as good or evil. And second, any perception to the contrary is completely illusory and is merely a byproduct of non-moral, socio-biological forces.
Your claims are based on nothing more than caricatures which rely on theistic assumptions. One could just as easily build a similar case why under theism there are no such things or categories as good or evil because it denies the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mbp52 from Fashion and Function I live in northern VT and trying to find a pair of nice looking fashionable and functional boots can be difficult. I ordered these boots on sale and absolutely love them! Look great, are very comfortable and work well in cold weather...

Rated 5 out of 5 by IGGYgirl from Beautiful design I love these boots! So cute and stylish only negative is the ankle is a bit snug and I have never had that issue with boots. I have a medium width foot and I am slender so I can't figure why so snug but I think a few more wears they will break in and loosen up. With that said I loved the distress brown and came back for the black.
Date published: 2016-12-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michfit from Great Boots I absolutely love these boots. I am typically a size 9 but occasionally can wear a 9.5. I decided to order the 9. They fit great! These boots are so adorable. I've worn them at least three times already and I've received many compliments. I ordered the brown. They are very distressed. They look best with jeans. I bought them on sale 40% off with free shipping so that was amazing because I could not find them cheaper on any other website. Garnet Hill has the BEST sales!!!!!
Date published: 2016-12-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wendy from Beautiful Boots I found these to be true to size. They're a little stiff and tight around the instep, but I'm hoping they'll loosen and stretch the more I wear them. I bought these on sale, so I'm really happy with the price.

The two hundred and ninth episode of Hand Of Pod sees Sam joined by English Dan, Andrés, Fran and guest Rob Crisp for a brief roundup of the qualification playoffs for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana, and a preview of the finals for same (including a Racing v Independiente double-header for the final Libertadores spot, which is going to be great fun for the neutral). On Thursday night, Huracán reached their first ever continental final, a 2-2 draw at home to Copa Sudamericana holders River Plate giving them a 3-2 aggregate win and meaning River's amazing run of continental success under Marcelo Gallardo has come to an end, a couple of weeks before they get underway at the Club World Cup. We look back on that tie, on what Huracán have got to shout about and how they might do in the final against Independiente Santa Fe, and at River's ongoing issues ahead of their trip to Japan.

If you thought that post Steve Jobs, Apple Inc would be nicer to its rival Google, then yesterday's WWDC amply displayed that nothing much has changed. In a move that won't go down well with the Mountain View based search giant, Apple has kicked out Google Maps from its devices.
If that wasn't enough, Apple rubbed salt onto Google's wounds when it announced Facebook integration with its new mobile OS, iOS 6.
With future being mobile and the ubiquity of Apple's devices, the effect on Google would be immeasurable. Google could miss out on mobile advertising and knowing what its users are doing and when, a big blow indeed.
In the recent years, Google's Android platform has risen as the only alternative most people have to Apple's devices. Home grown mapping alternative from Apple is only just an extension to the rivalry both share.

One of the Coppell High School Social Studies educators, Tim Dixon, who serves as Academic Decathlon (AcDec) coach at Coppell High School, guided the CHS team to a Regional Championship on Saturday-January 31st.

Assessment: Debbie Youngs
Just a reminder that 5th and 8th grade math do not fall under SSI for Spring 2015, and districts are to determine retention procedures for these grades in the area of math. In the CISD, please follow the same retention procedures for 5th and 8th grade math in the spring of 2015 that are followed for non-SSI grade levels in the spring of 2015.
Your campus CTC will need time to train staff on STAAR. While it is a campus determination as to how the training is given, ALL staff need the security training (educators, paraprofessionals, office, IT, GTi, specials, etc.). This training should take about 20 – 30 minutes, depending upon questions asked by staff members. The training related to the specific STAAR/STAAR EOC test being given may be done at a separate time either by grade level, department, etc. I know staff meeting time is precious, so I appreciate the time you provide for the CTC to train staff on security measures and test procedures.
This is a quick read article that contains many sites educators can use for formative assessment.

This Letter proposes a mechanical impedance (MI) measurement technique using noncontact laser ultrasound. The ultrasound is generated by shooting a pulse laser beam onto a target structure, and its response is measured using a laser vibrometer. Once ultrasound propagation converges to structural vibration, MI is formed over the entire structure. Because noncontact lasers are utilized, this technique is applicable in harsh environments, free of electromagnetic interference, and able to perform wide-range scanning. The formation of MI and its feasibility for damage detection are verified through thermo-mechanical finite element analysis and lab-scale experiments.

Wheelchair Medical Equipment Market Shares Analysis and Index, Bundle, Worldwide, 2006 to Current, Quarterly
The new report "Wheelchair Medical Equipment Market Shares, Analysis, and Index, Bundle, Worldwide, 2006 to Current, Quarterly" says Homecare Medical Equipment Markets are poised to achieve continuing growth as the aging population needs homecare treatment. The homecare equipment market consists primarily of wheelchairs, scooters, oxygen treatment equipment, accessibility beds, lifts, and toilets. Homecare medical equipment has until recently been sold primarily through distributers. The impact of direct sales through the Internet has brought about some distribution market consolidation, leading to a decrease of in the number of distributers for homecare equipment.
Complete report on wheelchair medical equipment markets spreads across 15 pages analysing 15 companies is available at http://www.reportsnreports.com/reports/541043-wheelchair-medical-equipment-markets-market-share-analysis-market-shares-analysis-and-index-bundle-worldwide-2006-to-current-quarterly.html.
As the population ages, people are more frail and need assistance for mobility. Wheelchair technology is evolving to give people with disabilities more mobility. Mobility depends on a wheelchair that is fit to purpose. Power and manual wheelchairs are bought depending on the needs of the customers. Medical scooters are a growing segment of mobility for the aging population, as they perform better in an outdoor environment. Many issues impact the choice of a wheelchair, including cost and reimbursement availability.

They were all born with a secret buried deep within. The journey they take, all guided by the same uncanny dream, is the key that will unlock their secrets. Six young heroes along with a seventh, leave the only homes they have ever known, and embark upon a life-altering quest to save their world and bring the universe back together again.
An adventure 500 years in the making, the saga to find and restore the Crystals of Ialana unites Jarah, Adain, Blaidd, Djana, Kex, Tristan, and Tegan. These young men and women ranging in age from 15 to 21 - connected through history and bonded by time - must find a way to stop the deadly encroachment of Amrafalus, the Dragon King and his army of scorpion-like combatants. Intent on creating a world of mutant slaves, Amrafalus will stop at nothing to destroy the only ones who can block him.
Their harrowing ordeal takes them through a maze of mountain caves where they face hideous creatures, perhaps none so dangerous however as one of their very own. A potential traitor in their midst. Will the six be able to survive their mission?
Guided by Irusan, the transcendental shape-shifter, the six young heroes ultimately learn to rely upon one another. They battle their way to the lost crystal, but will they find it in time? Or, will their enemy succeed in his mission to destroy humankind as they know it?

Worth your time
I really enjoyed this book. Creative, well written, interesting and very entertaining. While the story is YA it has enough action and adventure to appeal to anyone who likes this type of story.
I the synopsis tells enough about the story that I don't want to give anything else away. Definitely worth your time if you like Epic Fantasy Quest stories.
Is there anything that Jeff Hays narrates that is not amazing? He has the ability to pull you into the story and keep you listening for hours on end. Character voices are fantastic. Clearly spoken, great pacing. He knows how to really bring a story and characters to life. Definitely one of the best narrators out there.

There's some speculation that this is an attempted enhanced EMP weapon. There's other speculation. Add to that that I have never worked in weapon design, and the last time I seriously needed to know about the minutia of nuclear weapons was more than thirty years ago, and you will understand that I am not going to speculate. We know that North Korea tested something, and they call it a sophisticated fission weapon; what they tested was low yield, and the last time I looked, low yield was harder to do than higher yields: particularly lower than 10 kt....[/quote]

The gun is important to U.S. history because it served to deter attacks on the Lewis and Clarke expedition (they demonstrated it to the tribes they met...and implied that they had quite a few more than they did). It also reportedly took down a Grizzly bear at one point, though its unclear how many shots this took.
I had known vaguely about the Austrian use of repeating air guns, but I had not realized just how impressive their performance was.
This is seriously impressive performance for 1790. Something like this would be a really cool survival gun today.
More here and info on the whole family of weapons can be found here here. The second link is particularly thorough and has this interesting tidbit as well.
Made in the 1940s during WW2, this gun doesn't look like a Girandoni, but examination shows that it clearly was built by someone familiar with the Girandoni repeating airgun system. Purchased in Europe, the story is that this gun was built somewhere in occupied Europe by a partisan bicycle maker during the Nazi occupation in WW2

A few trends are visible, and others have commented upon some of them at length. The poster/photographer at MF was obviously drawn to the frontline ship offerings, in the distance there seem to be a lot of OPVs and similar vessels.
There are several export designs from US firms particularly LockMart which is not only offering yet another aegis equipped export version of their LCS (this time retaining the 57mm gun) but also an Aegis corvette that may be aimed at an Israeli requirement. Then there is this...
The natural predator of the small costal surface warship is an aircraft but SAMs might make this untenable in some circumstances. So the guns may be a hedge as well as being potentially usefull against small boat swarms,
One other thing needs to be mentioned, though it is not a trend...behold the solar powered Offshore Patrol Vessel (with force projection capability!)

Over at Information Dissemination, Galrhan provides the world with the first pics of the sea trials of LCS-2, which will be named USS Independence.
Good grief that thing is maneuverable!
One of the reasons this ship has hit so many time and budget snags may be that it was designed by Aussies, who are the world leaders in the trimaran hull form it uses and aluminum-smithing. I have heard that there was a very steep learning curve for the US Yard in these areas. This is a riskier design and it pushes US shipbuilding to the limit, but I strongly suspect this design will be more stable at all speeds and most sea-states than the Locheed Martin designed LCS1. It ought to have more room for growth and be more fuel efficient too, all other things being equal (which they may well not be).
As always there is a highly informed and interesting discussion in the comments of this post over at Information Dissemination. If this sort of thing interests you, then you should be stopping by there every day.
UPDATE: Gahlran has a bunch of gorgeous high res pictures of the trials.

On that date the last active squadron of S-3 Vikings, once one of the USN's primary antisubmarine aircraft was retired. It does not currently have a replacement, which is a cause for some concern. This happens as the main surface ASW platform, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates are nearing the end of their useful lives. As the last of those go, the helicopters that operated off their decks go away. The Destroyers with helicopter assets are not very numerous and in any event as they are effectively combination battleships and anti air pickets..... and ABM platforms....are likely to be stretched thin with their other duties. This unhappy state of affairs coincides with an explosion of the number and effectiveness of diesel boats in the worlds submarine forces.
Worse still, is the fact that the USN is saddled with a broken procurement system. Ships and even planes can now take years if not DECADES to reach operational capacity. This will take years to fix. Thus any replacement aircraft that are to be acquired quickly and cheaply must be more or less off the shelf, preferably Commercial off the shelf...unfortunately there just is no carrier capable aircraft sitting on a shelf right now.
Topping off this perfect storm of grief is the current financial crisis which is only going to get worse in the near term and the horrific debt the US has incured in the last few months that threatens to bankrupt us...thus any replacement MUST be relatively cheap.
It would be unwise to postpone such a program.
The Second World War experiences of the US and Britain in the Atlantic and Japan in the Pacific demonstrated the price a nation can face when antisubmarine warfare is put on the back burner. Japan did not survive. Its ASW was an afterthought and the island nation was cut off from supplies of both food and industrial materials. Its navy instead put a huge ammount of their maritime industrial bandwidth into building comparitively small numbers of huge, expensive ships that were designed to be qualitatively superior to their foes....and which now litter the Pacific seafloor.
The US and the UK did beat the submarine menace in no small part because at the UK's urging the United States built over 100 escort carriers thanks to its massive industrial capacity...a capacity that has deteriorated. Now to a large extent such capacity exists only in....China.
That is, therefore, a lesson that is non-applicable in the short term.
There was one other interesting and generally unsung weapon that was unique to the USN in WW2. It may fit the requirements of cheap, off the shelf and effective airborne antisubmarine assets.
Dirigibles like the K class airship were astonishingly effective.
After the war airships of improved types served as antisubmarine craft, and, increasingly, in the airborne early warning role. In the early 1960's, as part of a larger overall policy of making bad descisions, Robert MacNamera oversaw the dismantling of the Navy airship program. A few years later, it was discovered that hovering and being able to dunk sonars were very useful ASW traits and helicopters were pressed into service as ASW platforms.
Now the lack of any naval blimps today might make one think that there is no way to get this off the shelf. That is not necessarily the case.
The Zeppelin NT, a rigid airship has a useful payload of about 4100 pounds, so we are in the ballpark. Note though that sensors, like a good radar and a magnetic anomaly detection boom will eat into this, not to mention crew quarters.
Endurance of most off the shelf designs would be low, between 12 hours and two days , but they would have far more loiter time than a helicopter or even the Viking they replace. They could replenish at sea vertically like a helicopter to extend their range. Larger airships could be developed incrementally with lessons learned and applied in small construction batches. All of these are smaller than the frontline airships the Navy was operating in the 1950's, so in a few years we could incrementally build up at least to that capability.
Airships are not perfect. Because of their large sail area they have difficulty handling typhoons, or hurricanes and they tend to react badly to nuclear ordinance...

This post would not be complete without a brief mention of Aereons, hybrid airships and other developments of the airship concept that promise far greater performance...and have been promising since the early sixties....but have gotten no results. Military Airships is a very comprehensive site dedicated to these craft and Darrell Campbell is quite an ardent and eloquent proponent of their capabilities. His arguments are valid up to a point, namely that the hybrid airship he advocates have vastly greater potential than regular blimps. Specifically these designs combine a lifting body airframe and modern materials to greatly increase performance. However, while the tech is not unsound, it only works on very large ships and, more importantly it is, not mature technology. It will require considerable integration efforts as well as trial and error. These take time and money that we don't have. Rather than letting the best be the enemy of the good, it seems prudent to me to go with what we have and develop the ideal capability through trial and error.
There are many promising technologies that might aid us in hunting submarines, USV swarms, or small craft with dipping sonars using sprint and drift tactics for instance. But the good old blimp is here now, has a proven track record and might be had rather economically. It certainly warrants a look.

Okay if you're going to leave a comment like "you're slut shaming, what you wear doesn't make you slutty (insert more politically correct bullshit") then leave. Your opinion is not wanted.
Anyway, I've been thinking about getting a belly button piercing lately. Most of my friends have them and they're cute. I'm physically fit, I have a very flat toned stomach and a small waist so I'm not worried about how it will look exactly. But I was discussing it with my boyfriend and he said he thinks it would be sexy. And I said "really? You don't think it's kind of trashy?" And he was like "well it's sexy in a slutty way." I'm the farthest thing from a slut and I come from a slightly conservative, upper middle class family. I don't ever want to perceived as trashy. I'm young so I know a belly button piercing could be fun, but at the same time just because my boyfriend now likes it whoever I might meet down the line may not (I'm moving away in six months).
Also, I've heard stories of it leaving a noticeable hole? Anyone know from experience?

if you like the way it looks, and you are happy with it then go for it, do what you are happy with, doesn't matter what other people think about it as long as you are happy, lots of people look down at the goth type fashion but the people that are dressed like that are happy with what they are wearing and are not worried about what other people think, to be honest it doesn't have anything to do with anyone else, as long as it doesn't interfere with school or work, go for it11|00|0

Sweetie, those are so ubiquitous that I'm honestly surprised whenever I see an in-shape woman under forty who DOESN'T have one.
I mean, this question might have been au courant 20 years ago, but, nope. Total non-issue. It's like this question got sent here with Marty McFly's packet from 1985.
Total non-issue. If you want one, get one.
Yes, it will leave a noticeable hole, if you have it in for more than, say, a month or two. Over time the hole will shrink until it just looks like a random pore.11|00|0

Soothing music or meditation music. Just be nice, not overly emotional... don't dump on him. not too much talking.
You could do a fun mental exercise... like go on vacation in your minds and play out the vacation... dreaming it up as you go... that is fun. He may just need space and time along if he is an introvert... sorry, but true...
I was going to say carry out. because all the cleanup and stuff... puts a load on you. I actually would get more stressed knowing I'm putting you under stress... so keep it all in check. But fun little things help.
