Oh you.
It still amazes me that this is even trying to get passed. It explicitly says that critical thinking excercises will be removed because it undermines fixed beliefs and parental authority.
How could anyone have the mental retardation tot ry and pass this?
Im not sure if many of you have heard of Cdk007 on Youtube but I find his videos very thought provoking and intelligent.

Remind him of who he is. Don't let an oppressive relationship make him into something he isn't. I've been through it myself and i was fortunate to realize it and break away.
I think thats why people always get duped by Pascal's Wager. It is either, believe and be rewarded or don't believe and be punished. Theists haven't really stopped to question, "Is there even a reward or punishment?"
It would imply that the creator had to have a creator of itself, which leads to an infinite regress of creator beings.
Also there is no evidence of such a being. "Beauty of nature" doesn't count.
I'm personally not a fan of deism. Its really, as Dawkins described it, "watered down theism." Its really just a last resort to theism. Its the "well its not the Christian God, but I still want to believe."

So I was in a debate with a theist just now and they said unless we could solve thermodynamic's entropy, she wouldn't believe.
How does entropy of matter, well matter?
