Bertie Shoot you should see some of the WTC conspiracy whack-jobs; one line body text and 1232.2321 sig lines. Nutjobs, all of them. My wife gets into the creationism thing sometimes as well and my reply has always been that anyone trying to limit the Almighty to 6000 years vs billions is borderline heretical and fails to grasp the meaning of 'omnipotent', etc, i.e., are they denying the very "all" part of Almighty? See also alpha and omega. We are nothing more than the outcome of a sheaf of mathematical principles set in motion by the Big Bang (now the truly interesting question is initiated that event). |

Bertie,
but anyone who believes the set of fairytales known as the bible is welcome to it. Actually, no, I don't think so. Too much harm has been done by those who do. The track record is way down in the negatives on terms of benefits for society. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Don't blame on God or even the belief in God what can easily be explained by the nature of man. |

How many people did Stalin have killed? Was somebody counting? Besides, did he have them killed because of their religous beliefs or because they were a threat to his power? Don't blame on God or even the belief in God what can easily be explained by the nature of man. Well that begs the question whether the Bible is a work of God or a work of men. Since evolution vs creation was brought up somewhere up-thread, do you think the Tennessee Butler Act and the subsequent verdict of the 1925 "Scopes Trial" served justice or not? |

Ahh, your religion is restricting what others can do. Nice. Too much harm has been done by those who do. The track record is way down in the negatives on terms of benefits for society. What is your objective score for all of the postives in addition to the negatives, Tom? And atheists have been all sweetness and light. Shucks no - sometimes we go for a Guiness. How many people did Stalin have killed? Was somebody counting? Besides, did he have them killed because of their religous beliefs or because they were a threat to his power? Oh my Jim, recent history is so easily forgotten or ignored by some. Here is a little refresher on Joe Stalin: Approximately 20 million people were killed by Stalin's reegime, including up to 14.5 million starved to death for political reasons. At least 1 million were executed for political "offences." At least 9.5 million more deported, exiled or imprisoned in work camps, with many of the estimated five million sent to the 'Gulag Archipelago' never returning alive. Other estimates place the number of deported at 28 million, including 18 million sent to the 'Gulag'. What a gentleman, thank goodness he was athiest. Imagine how many people he could have killed (and so much worse!!) had he found a religion? Nice diversion attempt with the motives for his unthinkable horror, but the discussion was about making the bible unwelcome, perhaps with the threat of law, because of all the "negatives." But instead proved the point you appear to be against. Stopping religion doesn't stop bad people. In fact, attempting to stop religion would put you in fundamental agreement with Matthew Murray, who in December 2007 started shooting in a Denver church, slaughtering people in the name of athiesm because he proclaimed to hate religion. tinyurl.com/282qtx Don't blame on God or even the belief in God what can easily be explained by the nature of man. Well that begs the question whether the Bible is a work of God or a work of men. "Begs the question??" How so? |

Gig,
How many people did Stalin have killed? "In The Name Of Atheism"? None. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. But, nice try. Heard it before, though. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
