DickDawkins,





No you claimed your family did all this for the flag then claimed your "brotherhood" of engineers made the keyboard. Like I said, inserting yourself in the picture is just pathetic. Like we should be grateful to your "kind" for a flag and a keyboard. You are really sad.

If you are in the US, it is work hours, and if you are engaged in such important work, how come you aren't working?

DickDawkins,




Hahahaha.


Here is a little summary of what you have said so far:

My ancestors fought for that flag and now people like him are using for their homoerotic pics. And I don't care what the dictionary says. Denouncing god is satanism!

Being an engineer is like being in a brotherhood, so please don't try to make us look like creationists. The very keyboard that you type on was engineered. Most things around you was most likely thought up by an engineer.

Whatever, it certainly wasn't you who served. Either way it doesn't automatically make you an expert on anything.

Your just some bureaucrat working for the bloated and incompetent US government (how is that for liberal?), you couldn't even name the topic of the first five amendments of the bill of rights off the top of your head. You simply don't have the mental acumen to do the very basic research (they have picture books for fuck's sake) into the constitution or the history of constitutional law.

Ya, how dare he sue the military for blatant discrimination and the violation of its own rules. The military, all branches, is not allowed to discriminate against its members. That is no different then if he were harrassed for being black... But I have the creeping suspicion that you have equal disdain for blacks as you do for gays and atheists.

DickDawkins,





You are truly a piece of rhino excrement. I don't think anyone here "hates Christians". I know I don't. I can only have disdain for the ones I have interracted with.

Being a Christian is a choice. There is no biological component. Being gay has a strong biological component. So you can see the difference between disdain for a choice, and disdain for a human life.

You were scolded for saying "fag", and you shat thusly:

I'm allowed to convey my hatred for anything and anyone just like most atheists convey their hatred for Xtians and theists.

PS. I don't "hate" gays.

DickDawkins,

CC: MaxD,




What is interesting is this reverence for a flag. This flag has been changed over time. The number of stars for instance. The first amendment has remained the same.

Another thing that we have tried to eradicate in this country is bigotry. Yet it persists in the small minded, insecure in their own lives. Thus we see the term "fag", it is a term used in fear. No doubt a strong man would not fear a homosexual. Only the feeble minded would fear a "fag".

My grandfather was twice wounded and spent several hourse floating, wounded, in the South Pacific. He did so precisely so people can say what they want, not so they can have reverence for the state and all its symbols.

Your ancestors fought for the freedom of expression, and that is precisely what that photo is. Perhaps you would like America to be more like Iran, where such a thing is punishable by lashings.

You are yet another American who has no idea what America is all about.

All of the things on my list were "supernatural".


And I was not ridiculing. I was simply asking, that if one wants to base things on evidence and reason. The things I listed all have equal likelyhood, correct?

I have asked that 3 times and still have not received an answer. The issue is that I would like to see if anyone even interested in ID, is reasonable enough to admit that such a position leads to the potential for any kind of designer, based on evidence.

And I don't think you answered when asked about your personal religion. And if you did answer I was absent.

Your unwillingness to accept the possibility that these voices were simply a figment of your own bio-chemistry is the most worrisome part. No doubt all people who hear voices give them credibility. And that is the scary part. What if this voice said "Kill Steve Zara!"?

He heard a voice in his head. That is what he told us before. He was talking a walk around the block and a voice, which claimed to be Jesus (someone correct me if I am wrong) spoke to him.

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.

2119. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #171019 by al-rawandi on April 28, 2008 at 8:40 am

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.

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.

You can't even get fiscal conservatism right. You are truly an embarrasment.
