seeker_of_truth,




Well whoever did it is free to smite me at their leisure.

But the likelyhood of it being aliens, gods, unicorns, space donkeys, fairies are all about equal based on the evidence, am I correct? Or do you have some other evidence you have yet to present?

So instead of insinuating that I am insulting God, perhaps you could answer my question?


Thanks.

Clearmind,



If this medicine which randomly coalesced (which is not what evolution is) worked and had been proven to work through trials and experimentation. Then I would probably take it to cure myself.

After all this time you still don't understand what evolution is. You still keep posting ridiculous and simple minded analogies that are nothing at all like evolution. You simply lie, yes lie, about what evolution is, and when confronted, simply disappear.

You are a liar. But that is no shock as it is standard operating procedure for most IDiots, like yourself.

blackhawk,





The issue is ID cannot be taught in a science class, because it isn't science.

Science is testable and falsafiable. ID is neither of these. Therefore it isn't science. It could be taught in a class on religion, but not in a science class. If it was, you could also teach the unicorn theory of evolution. It would be so much time wasted on conjecture and imagination.

Science attempts to disprove itself every day. If you would like to ask some questions about science, you can do so here, there are plenty of scientists who would be eager to answer.

As for the seperation of Church and State... "The Government shall make no law..." Try actually reading the constitution. You are woefully ignorant of the history and the foundation of the United States. Jefferson eexplicitly mentioned the very words "seperation of church in state" in his writings, and this was incorporated in the clause I cite above.

Nice text message you posted. Shows once again, the theists are incapable of a reasonable argument.

And you used "heck", how unbearably sad.

EDIT: Per Karda's note, I mean to say people who believe in God in an uncritical (and often impolite) manner.

seeker_of_truth,




So in your estimation, ID could well have been magical leprechauns or unicorns as it could have been a "god" in the Abrahamic sense, right? If you want to ponder ID, while being reason based, then if you accept ID, and you weigh evidence, the evidence of an Abrahamic god doing it is the same as a unicorn or leprechaun.

You can admit this much, unless you have some evidence that it was an Abrahamic God. And if you have such evidence, please let me know, as I obviously would like to know about it.

That is a good point, but non-believers still represent a lower % in jail than they do in the population at large.

Either way, prisoners do understand that in American culture, this idea of repentance and salvation may pave the way to an earlier release.

Remnant,



The second is too long to read this afternoon, however tomorrow is a new day.

The third is pretty ridiculous because the guy shouts "liberal media", but omits that many media owners are anything but leftists. And Fox News employs bigots such as Sean Hannity and Bill O'Rreilly. The on air statements of these people is enough to indict them.

The last is, no shocker, a blog. It claims that the "Iranian Theocracy" is leftist fascism.

Uhhh that isn't even close to true. Not even close. A state that actively executes homosexuals and people who convert to a different religion are not leftists. It actively PROMOTES state religion, quite the oppposite of secular leftism which you think is the enemy of society.

However, I will grant you that there is a degree of fascism that is engendered by state power in a collectivist sense. This is irrelevant to the American scene, where it is Republicans waving the "state" flag, abridging freedoms, and lambasting Barack Obama for having the independence (a rightist quality you claim) to not wear a flag lapel pin. Nationalism, as espoused by Republicans IS collectivism. So the Republicans are as guilty of abridging liberty as anyone else.

Comment #169002 by al-rawandi on April 25, 2008 at 2:03 pm

remnant,



Article One.... American Thinker. Your author can't figure out who labels who a fascist... Trostyists or Stalinists. He also fundamentally misunderstands the nature of Nazi and Italian Fascism. He says:

"I am not aware of the last time Christians ran concentration camps, tortured people, and murdered hundred million of them."

He does not mention that the Christians all worship a god that does all these horrible things, and is "exalted" due to it. Furthermore he can't remember back to history class and the Inquisition where people were tortured, and yes, exterminated, for reasons of faith. Or even more recently in the Lord's Resistance Army in the jungles of Uganda. So your author is, like you, intellectually underequipped.

He suffers from the delusion that Larry Summers was forced from Harvard for an "incorrect thought". Wrong he was forced out because he didn't accept the fundamental values of equality of potential that is a must a Harvard.

The simple fact is that the right, more often than not, is not intellectually inclined... and thus is excluded from academic jobs because they, like you, have the intellect suited for some other profession, such as my field... finance.

Of course, in your search for evidence you don't realize that an opinion article, without footnotes, admitting ignorance of history, in a magazine not peer reviewed and not widely read does not constitute evidence, it merely constitutes evidence of simply one person who is cro-magnon enough to agree with your ridiculous position.

I am sure you are referring to the Thomas Friedman incident. Even you are not dumb enough to assume the actions of a few whacko hippies represent every socially conscious American.

That is like saying all Christians are child molesters.

I am a Libertarian who is for low taxes and small government, and I can honestly say, that was a stupid comment.


Who grew the government more than Ronald Reagan? Bush has increased spending and fucked our deficit. McCain wants to take Defense spending to almost 5% of GDP. Who is paying for that? You my friend, you.

You vote for Republicans, you vote for corporate welfare. You can have your taxes sent to Israel, Egypt, and a number of other foreign countries.

So if MaxD and I get into a fight. And my girlfriend comes along and grabs me by the nads (or secrets as the King James Bible calls them), how exactly should I cut off her hand? (According to Deut. 25:11-12, must be done, with no mercy)

Does it have to be a sword, or can I have it done surgically, since I that would be more merciful? Also, how about a hacksaw, it takes a minute, but should give a clean cut on the bone.

Also, what happens if she claims to simply be trying to pleasure me, then what? Do I accept the excuse or do I still cut off her hand?


I am in desperate need of clarity? You are certainly an expert, so I turn to you for clarity.

Some more Bible versus to show how you heathens what's up with GOD!



II Kings 2:23-24

23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

If two men are fighting, and the wife of one of them, coming to the help of her husband, takes the other by the private parts; 12 Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.

15 And taking up the mouth-bone of an ass newly dead, which he saw by chance on the earth, he put to death a thousand men with it. 16 And Samson said, With a red ass's mouth-bone I have made them red with blood, with a red ass's mouth-bone I have sent destruction on a thousand men.

Buffett gave 35 billion in charity.

And even an uneducated dullard like yourself must have heard of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Through its services brought new AIDS infections in one region of India down 25%. Sure beats Christians telling them not to wear condoms.

Considering that non-believers make up less than 10% of the population, your comparison is dishonest. But I expect nothing less from someone like you.
