Come to think of it, he was the guy who taught me what a "Humanist " was, he was the first atheist I had ever met.

Yes the world would be a far better place without religion but, have you ever seen two Tom cats fighting? I grew up on a farm, we once had an enormous feral Tom cat used to visit our place, beat up any of our own male cats,(often inflicting terrible injuries on them if they did not run away) then, just like a male lion,he would search out and kill any kittens that he knew were not his. His reign of terror did not last long however, we shot the bloody thing!
Closer to our own kind,Chimpanzees do not believe in God, but look what happens there when two rival gangs meet.

127. Blame Abraham

Comment #25051 by Roy_H on March 9, 2007 at 11:23 pm

Wilfred Owen must have had similar thoughts when he wrote this during The First World War, it features in Benjamin Britten's wonderful "War Requiem" :-

The Parable of the Old Man and the Young

So Abram rose, and clave the wood, and went,
And took the fire with him, and a knife.
And as they sojourned both of them together,
Isaac the first-born spake and said, My Father,
Behold the preparations, fire and iron,
But where the lamb, for this burnt-offering?
Then Abram bound the youth with belts and straps,
And builded parapets and trenches there,
And stretchèd forth the knife to slay his son.
When lo! an Angel called him out of heaven,
Saying, Lay not they hand upon the lad,
Neither do anything to him, thy son.
Behold! Caught in a thicket by its horns,
A Ram. Offer the Ram of Pride instead.

But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.

Comment #24118 by Roy_H on March 4, 2007 at 10:19 pm

What does it say about Camels and eyes of needle's in the 'Holey Babble'? By definition these evangelists do not believe that they are going to hell for being super rich/greedy , ergo they do not believe in what the bible says! ( But they convince their brainless followers that they do). Mind you, they are all at it. The Pope does not exactly live in a garden shed does he?

132. Hunting chimps may change view of human evolution

Comment #22949 by Roy_H on February 24, 2007 at 10:38 pm

Yes the article is fascinating, I know chimps have been observed cracking nuts with stones ( some use the left hand, some use the right )It was featured on Charlotte Uhlenbroek's excellent series TV series "Cousins".
Just to go off on a tangent, what about 'bird brains?' Some finches use cactus spines too winkle out grubs from holes in trees. A certain crow uses twigs for a similar purpose. I have personally witnessed rooks use a road as a 'tool' by dropping walnuts onto it from a great height to crack them open.

Going to be aired around the world? YES!
I can't see it been shown in Algeria though....
"Christians need to communicate a positive message to the world that the Bible is true from the very first verse." Does that include the 'fact' that Noah had 3 sons when he was 500 years old (and you could not buy viagra over the counter then ) and he also managed to squeeze two ( or is it seven ?) of every species of animal on a 450' boat made entirely of gopher wood or whatever it says in the "good book" ? Oh yeah, right.
