Welcome to Russell’s Teapot.  You may be asking yourself, “what’s with the name?”  And a good question too.  The title refers to an argument ventured by the philosopher Bertrand Russell who substituted a china teapot for God, arguing that such an analogy proves that the burden of proof for God’s existence lies with the believer (more on Wikipedia).  As Philosophy and Religion -and, of course, the union of the two- are two of my great passions, this title serves as a fine analogy for my intellectual pursuits, with the substance of this site serving as the content of Russell’s Teapot.

Comments should be kept civil and not resort to offensive use of language.  By offensive I do not mean that certain individual words cannot be used, although their context is very important.  I will remove any comments that abuse others or are rude to others.

You are free to criticise my opinions and the opinions of others.  In fact it is highly encouraged.  However, resorting to ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated.

The final decision about whether a comment is to be kept or not rests with me.
