Let me guess, they cite any peer-reviewed paper that even mentions athiesm, and then write a 'summary' of them that comes to the complete opposite conclusion of the people who did the study?

I do know one atheist guy who is a strict determinist, and he's a real asshole. But I never got the impression that the two are related. He's also anti-science. Denies the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. It conflicts with his rather rabid determinism. I have no idea what his problem is.

There's no question that he's a cunt, but I don't know if there is some underlying psychological problem that causes him to be a cunt, or if he's just one of those guys. You know the type.

If he believes in locality as well as causality, then your friend fails it.

If he believes in locality as well as causality, then your friend fails it. I doubt he knows what locality is. Like I said, he's an idiot. He disbelieves in Heisenberg just as irrationally as any creationist denies evolution, and for just as stupid and ideological reason. I don't know what his problem is, but cunt definitely sums it up well. You know what, forget that. Cunts are awesome. I love cunts. They give joy and pleasure to everyone. He's not a cunt, he's an asshole.

I dunno, I'm sure those can be cute. Aww, who's an adorable badger! You are! Even if you're covered in syphilis.

You forgot to give a suggestion. I know. Ray comfort came to mind, but I was too disgusted to put it.

Could someone explain locality please? I've never heard of it.

Denies the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Wait, what? Heisenberg's principle isn't a postulate, it's a derived result. It follows directly and unambiguously from the axioms of quantum mechanics. You can't reject it without throwing out quantum mechanics entirely! It also doesn't mean what a lot of people seem to think it does, but that's another topic.

"See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!"

Yes, which has ever stopped anybody ever anywhere. Ever. Could someone explain locality please? I've never heard of it. Locality (it appears) refers to the idea that the only factors on an object are those in its immediate surroundings. The fly in the ointment, unless you are a pro-ointment frog or an ointment spider in which case it is the thing that eats frogs or spiders, respectively, in the principle of locality, is that quantum entanglement allows for operations at a distance (and in fact potentially in violation of the speed of light limitations, as the relevant operation, changing the spin of an entangled particle, happens literally instantaneously irrespective of distance).
