Not to my knowledge.

Yes. There are a number of atheist churches -- enough, at least, that one made the news some time ago for breaking-off from their parent church over some silly difference.

Yes, including television shows. This isn't counting the countless online radio, video streaming, podcasts, video series, and other similar media programs. Yes, some even ask for money.

Yes. Yes they do. Not just specific atheists churches, mind you, but outreach is a big part of a number of atheist communities.

That's just for fun. The trouble you're having is in defining religion through superficial trappings. It's like saying something isn't science because there aren't sufficient beakers and lab coats around.

Color 7? That's yellow on the C64; white/gray on the ZX Spectrum, IBM's CGA, and a host of others; and a not quite, but almost, black blue in modern 24-bit RGB.

Ideally, yes, but we all know that that's not all there is to it these days.

Then why, when I visit atheist websites sites, atheist discussion forums, and talk with local atheists, that's all they want to talk about?

Like hell there isn't! To belong to any atheist community, you need to align with their dogma, have read and agree with their favorite authors, and "other thingamajigs" or you'll be ousted as a troll or worse.

You've probably noticed that there's more than one schism dividing atheists. With various atheist groups at each others throats over things not even remotely related to the existence of god. You'd have to be blind not to see that.

To say that atheism, to most/every atheist (as we're talking about the broader atheist community), is merely "the lack of belief in a god" is either delusional or deliberately dishonest.

I agree. A theory is, after all, a predictive model, and science wouldn't work if any theory was considered unassailable truth. This brings up a couple other problems with the public understanding of science that are often overlooked: The belief that science ultimately leads to truth (a failure of our educations system, no doubt) and the belief that we've got it all just about sorted, with a few details left to be filled-in.

It's worse. Most people who complain about the use of the word 'theory' don't know what it means in a scientific context either, and spread one of several nonsense definitions they saw on a forum or heard on a youtube video.

Damn, how many lunch breaks do you need?

People seem to want a smart watch that is, at a minimum, as useful as their smart phone. The trouble, of course, is that no one has any idea what such a device would be like.

I was completely surprised that Apple announced a watch. If I were a betting man, I'd have lost my shirt. While they delivered something different, with a novel interface (I do like the 'crown' control, it reminds me of the jog-wheel on my old 7290) they didn't deliver the mythical "wrist computer" that the wearable computing crowd wanted.

I don't blame them for being disappointed. After all, the die-hard Apple fans all but guaranteed that Cupertino could deliver. The sentiment was: "if anyone can do it, Apple can!"

I didn't think that Apple could deliver -- I'm not sure anyone could deliver -- which is why I was struck when they revealed it. I'll give them this: They did better than I expected. We'll see how this influences future watch offerings from Apple and their competitors. If it's at all possible, healthy competition should help crack that nut.

So you're saying that a sizable percentage of users are vulnerable then?

Okay ... Let me guess -- the earth is hollow and home to the lizard people who secretly control the world. All the government need do is stop fighting the swarm of "conspiracy" books and websites and step forward and go "This is bullshit, here's why". Instead, they're doing EXACTLY what the "conspiracy" is claiming they do. You refuse to open your eyes and look for yourself. You expect everything hand-fed to you on a silver spoon. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

Seriously, listen to yourself. You're a nutter.

I don't have a choice. They're the only carrier with acceptable service in my area. You can't use Verizon inside most buildings. (The 'Can you hear me now' guy hasn't been this way, I guess.) T-Mobile and Sprint are even worse.

CellularOne was good, but AT&T bought them years ago.

AT&T hate aside, I've never had a problem with basic phone service while traveling. (Well, except that one time driving through the desert in New Mexico.) So, baring their ridiculous prices, I can't really complain.

It's still really neat.

STILL no evidence for your claims!

Instead, I get a bunch of porn and a conspiracy theory. Oh, you have no evidence because Reddit is hiding the truth! Does the NSA come in to play here? How about Area 51?

Well, I'm not surprised at all. People like you delve in to fantasy when reality doesn't suit your crazy beliefs.

Why do you want to put so much responsibility on the victims?

Are you a criminal?

Did you miss it? He said:

You even quoted it.

I'm thinking more coercion than bribery. Hence, "power dynamics".
