proof, Gid, proof you offer none, yet expect us to take the existance of this Jesus for granted We do offer proof. It might not be the proof for which you are searching, but we do offer it. <T
For example, I notice outrage lacking when California schools teach units on Islam, requiring students to take Muslim names and recite Muslim prayers. Yet, they take offense with the name of Christ. I notice further that Michael Newdow hasn't filed an injunction against the use of Roman and Norse gods in the names of five of the
There are two problems that do exist with this program. One you are taking tax payers money and using it to bus kids to church for a religious education. That is government sponsored religion which is strictly forbidden by the Constitution. Yes it is a pretty trite thing in this instance, but what if there are 10 jews in your tow
Um, could you be more cryptic, please? You response makes no sense whatsoever. I stand by my post. You're serious? You honestly don't have a freaking clue as to what I just said? As stated in post #69: Comparing Ir
That was actually the reason she was banned.
I just want to add a few cents: Nothing's wrong with posting software news on a site about software news. Free software is not inherently more noble or superior to commercial software. In fact, sometimes it's the opposite, as in the case with GIMP (which lives up to its name). Some free software is arguably better than its commercial counterparts (i.e. FireFox to Opera), but some commercial software is better than its free counterpart (i.e.
Oh yeah, I'm also reminded of how penguins have been known to prostitute themselves, meaning that prostitution isn't a choice.
I don't enjoy being called ignorant just because I don't kowtow to the trifecta of lunacy, father, son and holy ghost. Even when I still maintained a theistic mindset, I rejected this bloodthirsty trinity long ago. So, perhaps nobody should be demeaning other people or their beliefs.
Juxtaposition First I am not a Bush supporter. What most Bushies do is fail to look at the real results of the Bush policies. Deficits, increased trade deficit, ineffective war, nonsolutions to our energy needs, non solutions for Medicare and Social Security funding etc. Yes, and you're saying that unli
I still believe this argument is about a different thing, which is not biologic, because polygamy does not affect what one is attracted to, just the number of the thing that one is attracted to. To use my previous example, if I'm hungry, and choose between a sandwich and a chair, there really is no choice as far as which I will eat. However, if I have two sandwiches and a
Isn't God a theory? What's wrong with stating that? No, God's not a theory (at least in the scientific term, which is the one I'm assuming we're using, since we are discussing science).
This justification does not work, because polygamy implies a continued relationship with all of the partner that one chooses to have. Animals who mate with more than one partner are not polygamous; they're just whores. Calling promiscuous animals whores is no better than calling homosexual ones faggots,
You want to pass around little stickers beating the deceased "Evolution is a theory" horse into the ground? Fine. Isn't evolution a theory? What's wrong with stating that?
Sorry dude, you've got it backwards. The Ten Commandments (old testament) specifically ruled out killing. Christ (new testament) is the one who specifically ruled out vengeance, and instead radically recommended loving your enemy, turning the other cheek, etc. So I take it you haven't read the article o
Wow. So, all the Bush supporters in the entire universe only see what they want to see, but not you? You only see the truth (which seems to be very "Bush is the devil").
So, these gay penguins have been around female penguins before, or is this the first time they've ever been around female penguins, meaning that they were only around other male penguins their whole life, in which case, it might not show that penguins that are gay are born gay, but that penguins are pretty loyal to their mates. They also might be monogamous, unlike many other animals who will mate with more than one other member of their species,
I think that you ought to re-phrase that to read' non-christian' instead of 'non-religious'. I'm not christian, but I consider myself to be religious. In this case though, I did mean the non-religious, and not non-Christians in general.
ccording to what? The teachings of Christ or the teachings of Wolfowitz? ! And BTW, the WWII analogy for Iraq -- and even AQ -- is laughable. According to everybody here who believes that it is wrong to kill no matter the circumstances. Do you honestly think that American soldiers KILLED NO
What's funny is how many of the posts by non-religious people on religious blog sites (such as aeryck's) don't seek a constructive discussion, but only an attempt to bag on "those delusional religious fundies." I wonder if non-Christians would mind if I started posting inflammatory remarks on their blogs that did nothing but belittle their beliefs. Well, non-Christians? Would you?
I think most people heard what they wanted to hear. A poll taken shortly before the election showed that most Bush supporters still believed that Saddam had ties to 9/11. Yes, and I think this applies to everybody on both sides of the spectrum.
Juxt, please accept my apologies on my post. I didn't get it. A careful read of your words,your reply, and the commentary by gideon show me I actually am in line with the point you are trying to make more than I really want to admit. The welfare system is broken and there is a problem. Social Security, same thing, its just a BAD
Is it me or does this seem a little strange that there is such venom on a religious blog site? It's more common than you think. I've spent much of my life on religious "debate" chat rooms on both MSN and Yahoo!, and most of the non-religious participants were very bitter and hostile toward religion, spe
When I read this, I was reminded of this Linux Zealot comic . I think another factor might be that in the case of Object Desktop, there is no decent free alternative, and therefore these people are more upset with Stardock because they're either forced to fork out the money or settle with a gimp of a product that doesn't compare (speaking of GIMP, I always thought it to be one of the worst examples of open so
Professor Sue, I think all the racist subtext you see shows more about you than it does about me. Firstly, I might not have ever had a meal with a black person (but it's possible I simply forgot), but I also never had a meal with a variety of people, from Muslims to Buddhists to strippers to homosexuals to celebrities. Secondly, I have never done any community service that I was not forced to do. Thirdly, just where do you see all this rac
I think I can make some interesting observations about you from the tone of your post... Yes, I'm from a middle class family and I have shopped at K-Mart and sometimes shop at Wal-Mart. Nor do I think I hd it hard. I had it extraordinarly easy. You do make a good point though. People like to think they're more poor than they really are,a nd that
