Re: Christ was perfect.
So far so good. You cannot know your god exists you can only believe it
so.
Are you saying that love is a mere matter of faith? Doesn't the fact that
you nurture and support your family demonstrate your love far beyond a mere
belief? Do your kids BELIEVE you love them or do they KNOW it?
BUZZZZZZT! Sorry but you lose 5 points for constructing a weak analogy.
In fact tho I'm sure you do have faith in, and
Re: Christian's non-answer
He didn't, you know, see next quote.
So god used to do "magic shows" cause thats all those poor dumb folks
could understand, but now we got us education and we are so smart we just
know god exists cause we been told it over and over.
In fact there is a tiny grain of truth here, those "miracles" were recorded
because those seeing something did not understand the natural causes of
what
they saw. Just as idle speculation (without
Re: agnostic not atheist
Hello Tyler, nice to chat with you.
I feel that in the absence of "hard" evidence poeple tend to rely on thier
belief systems.
Nope, you may be as silly as you wish. Myself, I practice being silly regularl

Good repsonse Rudy!
Do you suppose we will confuse anyone by having the same initials?????<g>
Oh, Tyler, G'DAY! I just finished trashing your response on atheism vs
agnostism. This was addressed to your mere by way of flame bait.
Bye.
Re: ABORTION
Only antidotal I know, but it did happen 2 with different sets of female
roomates I've lived with.
Not to be too nit picky, but I'm not certain I would consider prison life
living together.
Sure COULD be true. People do remember occurences that support their
notions of reality. I'd be suprised if if someone hasn't complied some
stats over time by now.
Now, just to say on topic, let me state that I don't for a second beleive

Brothers, you should know Everywhere there's lots of piggies,
living piggy lives.
You should see them out to dinner,
with their piggy wives.
Cluching forks and knives to eat their bacon!
Because, "Who knows how long I've Loved You?"
But just HOW ARE 9 and 42 related?!!!??
The mote in God's eye.

BINGO! This is exactly the type of statements which lead the gentle readers
to conclude that you are a an intellectual light-weight.
I would not attempt to "de-mythologize" JC the "mythology" section is right
where your bible belongs. You could see this if you didn't have an agenda
to spread your mythos around. Also, please tell us (gentle lurkers) how
stating that the big 'G' is the creator and
Re: Evidence
Quoting John Brawley It is certainly true that everyone here is ignorant of whatever evidence
you may have, since you have not presented it even after repeated requests
for you to do so. No one is fooled by this, but many are amused.
Better sharpen that tool, boyo. It's gonna rust though anyday now.

Is it just me or has MH actually gotten more stupid? Or is it merely meaner?
Re: flood
Johnny-boy, tisk, tisk, tisk. It has been explained to you repeatedly
and you still do not get it. The 'random' nature of mutation refers to
it being non-purposeful. That is, mutation does not anticipate natural
selection.
Sorry about the big words.

How about that 1) I'm worried that room temperature IQ fundies like you will use our schools
as recuiting ground for your delusions.
2) Relgion is the single greatest cause of suffering on the planet. (Both
yesterday and today.)
3) Willful ignorence pisses me off.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody You continue to make the extraordinary claim that you have found the creator
of the universe and that IT is your personal buddy.

Re: Big bird
Were they showing pictures of children at the time?
Because if the 'thing' that didn't belong was a red triangle in a line
of blue squares then I think thats not nessicarly negative.
Both abstract and real groups of things are defined from within and without.
Re: ALTERNATIVE OR STRAW
Has anyone pointed out that the use of the word 'superfically' changes
the meaning of Dawkins statement? Maybe you should look it up in your
Fundy to English dictionary.
You are not even smart enough to to correctly quote things out of context,
yet you wonder why no one credits you with understanding the work you
misquote. LOL!
By the way the text goes on to say (even demonstrate) that EVIL-U-TION

Re: Help debunk Ken
I would like to know if Ken "chose" to be straight. That would imply
that he, well in fact everyone, was at some point in our lives attracted
to both men and women. Then, we choose. This did not happen to me.
It seemed to me a process that occured all by itself--as if naturally.
So, as far as I'm concerned, I am behaving naturally in being with other
men.
If I'm natural, then I must be of GOD.
Re: ACLU News 01-30-97: Chri
For the allegory it is, Ken.
Joesph Campbell made the best comment on fundemental views I've ever heard.
"Those people are so busy worshiping the metaphor that they have
completely missed the point of the story."
Nonsense. It is not closed minded to dismiss those things for which
there is no evidence. Besides, shouldn't you then admit the possiblity
that ALL relgious belief systems MAY be correct? (ie. not just yours)
Or

Science is not a belief system. It
Re: "Special rights" lies
We are doing just that with much less income. It can be done, but requires
brains, love and (self) disipline. That sort leaves lettle hope for Kenny
ever doing the same.

I know. I know. Anything that doen't help him personally. How christian.
Re: Judge Staal
WELL ACTUALLY, YES!!!!!!!!!!! I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't believe in your imaginary super daddy. In fact, most people don't
don't share your delusion. (Think before you sputter, Staal. Most people
are
Buddists.)
You have no rational reason for thinking that the mythological
creation of a tribe of sheep herders 4000 years past is in fact the creator
of the universe and your good buddy. Yet you judge me and others by this
fiction. Further, though you
