Good post. Science asks how, and looks for evidence. Philosophy asks why, and contemplates. Religion skips both, says it has the answers, and threatens you with ostracism or punishment for questioning it.

That's like giving a dog a biscuit for the one day he doesn't bite the mailman. He got caught making a blatantly false post in a huge can't-miss-that-post font, and admitted to the person who called him on it being right in a tiny little font. Better to give rep to someone who thinks in their...

I have absolutely no respect for bullshit claims of any form. If you tell me the best way to grow pot is with hydrogen cyanide and thermite, I'm going to call you on it. If you blather on about the benefits of adhering to mythology created by primitive man, and how wonderful it is, I'll call...

Funny, because you keep talking about your deity exactly as though you were a Christian. "God is love." "Man was made in God's image." "God gave us free will" and we can't see him because we've blocked him out. And even if you're not just blatantly pulling some common themes from Christianity...

Has she noticed you're following her? There might be some danger in stalking a woman who handles unstable explosives :)

I watched that earlier today. He really put the boots to theocracy there :)

Right. All that scripture about punishment for unbelievers isn't an attempt to force anyone. Just like if you pour gasoline on someone and put them at the edge of a building and tell them they have the option to jump or you're going to set them on fire, it absolves you of any blame if they...

[/COLOR] Well I'm open to the discovery of some sort of creative intelligence or force. There has just been no evidence presented for one, therefore there is no call to believe in one. My absolute certainty is in regards to the desperate little gods of men, petty, vindictive, and concerned...

It's okay that you're deluded. It's not okay that you include me in your delusion.

http://www.kiddofspeed.com/ Lots of cool pics of the area. The thing about thriving wildlife is that the wildlife you see now is not the wildlife that was there before the meltdown. Radiation would have decimated populations and those that survived to produce offspring would have birthed both...

It's astronomers and astrophysicists that one should listen to if they want to know what's happening in the galaxy. Not pseudo-scientific frauds.

True enough. That would be an agnostic deist and anti-theist.

I found a site a while back that had collected dozens of end of the world predictions and prophecies for 2000. Apparently they weren't using the Julian calendar, since we're still here... Or are we? *GASP* :fire:

Need a house sitter? I'd be happy to taze your relatives for you :)

Everyone who believes the world is going to end in 2012 should send me their money and personal assets. After all, if your faith is strong enough you're not going to need any of that stuff after the deadline, right? Here, I even made a simple web page for the challenge: http://2012.cwahi.net...

I think it's because men have typically cooked the hot dogs, and we're expected to ruin a few :P I'm a good cook, damnit! But then it could just be the buy more buns thing. :)

Why would an "intelligent designer" create a sentient being that can't detect or communicate with it?

I just saw a guy on shroomtalk claim that there are 3000 scientific proofs against evolution. Can't wait to see some of his samples.

I don't think they'd have anything useful to say. Science is just a big conspiracy against "god", and dating methods are made up, and burning bushes are excellent thought transmission devices :fire:
