Did you change your name Evie? I certainly don't like the new one, makes you sound much less respectful.

Less? How could I be less? I've always been disrespectful to religion since I came here.

And religious people on the other hand...I'm not specifically to them and more than to anyone else...this isn't an ad-hom thing. As I've said before...beliefs aren't something to respect.

I changed my name because I think it covers a bigger issue than the whole EvidenceVsfaith thing. Faith may be the opposite of evidence, but all beliefs should be checked for evidence...and any belief without evidence is delusional...so being clear about that helps stop people evade things by saying ""well it's not a matter of evidence, it's a matter of faith" - as if the two that are battling (evidence and faith) are even matched...the thing here is basically that...any belief not based on evidence is a delusion.
