Talk:Reginald Vaughn Finley Sr.

Untitled
"Finley also participates in an all-atheist unit in a military themed online game."

To which online game is this referring?

Has anyone considered adding a section on how Finley is a downright colorless, tasteless, imprudent, and drab host who kisses his guests' asses and asks the dumbest, easiest, and solely atheist-worldview-confirming questions, while simultaneously maintaining a juvenile approach to religion, philosophy, science, and theology? Based on his hosting of the show when Dr. Richard Dawkins appeared, I can't help but wonder how he keeps a job on the air. I am myself a practicing atheist, and I, for one, am insulted by his show. (Just airing my grievances, though.) --gikar


 * I shouldn't respond to that, but I am curious what "practicing" means in "practicing atheist." Do you go to atheist church?  &middot; rodii &middot;  03:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Just japing with that; I only meant that I am firmly convinced in my beliefs and I came to them from genuine introspection and rational reflection, I don't care for the idea of an entertainer like Finley cheapening them through low-quality discourse and facile evaluations. --gikar


 * Sure, Reginald dumbs-down on the odd occasions. I dont think he is all that bad. On the whole, he should be credited for getting an extrordinary set of guests, plus delivering an unpopular message at an appropriate time. --Salimfadhley 10:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed some unsourced negative material ("many say that....").Gerard von Hebel 21:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Narcissism
This is a self-produced vanity page. Finley also has an "Infidel Guy" facebook page which has a grand total of 78 "likes" and a personal facebook page scattered with narcissistic self-taken "bathroom-mirror" style flex poses. A total non-entity who thinks his mundane life experiences are of riveting interest to everyone else. Nothing to see here.70.77.221.225 (talk) 08:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism
Vandalism against Reggie's page seems to be a bit out of hand. This page used to have a lot of accurate info about him, now it has nothing. After looking at the History, it seems he was slandard quite a bit and then the whole artical was basically erased. What happened? It's odd how some practicing religionist tend to result to character assassination, vandalism, and defamation on such a scale. Such actions at best give Atheist a sense of being right and Justified. ~ Technos —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.237.158.236 (talk • contribs).
 * A lot of the Vandalism was by Hebel, he needs to be reported and banned from Wikipedia, or at least his IP needs to be blacklisted so that he can no longer edit this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.237.158.236 (talk • contribs).
 * This diff shows Hebel's changes. Why do you say that they are vandalism?  Mr Stephen 10:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

This is a mistake. I have only been removing vandalism, like the several changes made in the quote by Finley. At one point I had some difficulty getting it right, hence the multiple attempts visible in the history page on the 3d of September. When you examine the history page you will see that all recent offensive interpolations originate with users 70.176.239.208 and 209.216.154.179. My last action on the 3d of september left the article in the exact state it is in now. I see it was revandalised the very same day however by the first of the aforementioned users.Gerard von Hebel 20:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

IG Headed for Divorce?
I've heard that he's getting a divorce and that he recently had serious marital problems with his current wife Amber, though I don't know any details. Can anyone confirm this? His wife is mentioned in the article, so it may need to be updated. - Jonas Valentine

This article is a pig's breakfast. Some of the content might be salvageable, though, if rewritten for tone and NPOV. DancingPenguin 12:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Request for Comments
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:59, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
