The purpose of mankind is to serve as a vehicle for gene replication. Actually it's the purpose of all living creatures. Those genes are taskmasters, damn it.

Wait, what are YOU laughing at, you big doo-doo head! :twisted:

I love that warning. Perfect. When I was six or seven, a couple of door knockers showed up and tried to convert my mother. She was more tolerant then, and didn't chase them off the property. But anyway she said she wasn't interested, and they offered her a children's bible for me to read. So I...

The Counter Creationist Handbook really opened my eyes to how insane some of the people are out there. Some are really dedicated, crafting extensive documents that would sound right to someone who hasn't actually read the science before, but are extensively cherry picked. So, as long as you...

Ha! No tea puns! You a not a true tea leafer believer! Moved to PEI. It's pretty cool to see the sky at night, but all the women over 25 are religious and addicted to food. On the plus side that just means I have to look for younger women. We may have to unite our religions of pot/kettle...

Wayne Brady never promised to bring any troops home or close Guantanamo, but the brother sure can sing. Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch? 8pklq_ShnbA

You're from London! That explains it. As soon as I moved from there last month, you kettle-ites probably thought the coast was clear to spread your cockmamie black kettle theory to the masses. I'm sending my flock to track you down. The price of apostasy will be steeped! Prepare to be creamed!

Hey, leave Wayne Brady alone!

Ooooh, you're one of those! I happen to know that it's a silver teapot orbiting that sun. You and your protestant kettle-ites are always stirring up trouble. There is only the silver teapot, and if you don't believe you shall be very thirsty in the long, dark, tea time of the soul.

Religion is the opium of the people... I can see that.. They both have their own houses. They both have their own pushers. Too much of either is toxic. and both are used to create an artificial sense of well being.

One doesn't substitute the other. Science is a rational and methodological approach to understanding the mechanisms through which things occur. God is a religious construct which is part of faith, the belief in something without substantiating evidence. They're not even close. Your...

You're showing a personal anecdote here. Not the scientific community. But, I'm open to reading some scientific papers on it if you have links. Peer-reviewed, that is, not just websites.

Somebody photoshopped out the other hand. You know, the one asking for money.

We are organisms of the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata, the Class Mammalia, Order Primates, Family Hominidae, Genus Homo, Species sapiens. We are a highly adaptive organism, with an intellect that seems to waste most of its time worrying about whether or not we are 'better' than other...

Ah, but the thing is "climate change" and "global warming" are two differing concepts. Climate change is always going on, and can occur in sudden drastic changes. Global warming is the horror story that we're going to hit the tipping point, cook everything, and end the world any time now. At...

I wouldn't even so much use the word supernatural. An unknown with a natural cause more likely. Like Dawkins points out, even if there is a being of creation, it had to evolve to become that complex :) There's even one matrix-like posit, that we're all just part of a complex simulation, and...

Agreed. Sounds like you did fine :) Mine had a root explosion in the new pot and I had to transplant it again within two weeks. Everything under the first inch of soil was a mass of roots. I basically had to stick it in the soil like a cork. It transplanted fine that time too :)

Nope, just you. There are people who go all their lives believing the lies of religion, and then one day stop to question a single point, and then shortly thereafter have found so many flaws in its reasoning (and lack thereof) that they just walk away. And there's people who aren't really...

Go back to the /b/tards at 4chan failboy.

Speaking of viruses, if anyone wants to watch a good documentary, check out "The Virus of Faith". "The Enemies of Reason" and "Deborah 13 - Servant of God" are worth watching as well. And to bring up another one mentioned earlier, "Jesus Camp". If Jesus Camp and Deborah don't leave you feeling...
