Seems a bit contradictory to expect an atheist to have a "leap of faith" since the absence of a faith in God is the primary definition of their spiritual being.

What bothers me more is the people who do believe in God, yet claim that they wouldn't know right from wrong without that belief, without some sort of rulebook for them to follow.

That's actually true to some extent.

I was on Cape Cod when Edward was blowing by, and a lot of people went to the local bars. Maybe not the safest thing, but it felt better to be around people at the time.

The Scrubbing Bubble vs. Mothera!

Not me. I've already gone through manopause. >> ^rougy:
So which of you is on the rag this time?



Manopause...that's where a dude can't get it up any more, isn't it?



And hey! What's not funny about menstruation? Cracks me up every time!

And note the dystopian, deconstructive antithesis of my menstruation allusion apropos of the original ejaculatory metaphor?

Took me hours to do that!

The whole argument can be turned on its head and used as an argument for raising the taxes on the rich back to, at least, what they were under Clinton.

Once they (the richest 1%) start bitching about progressive tax rates and acting like the sky is falling, remind them that they have refrigerators and microwaves and Xbox's, etc. so what are they complaining about?

What is it you've got against primates, Rottenseed?

I'm still waiting for Jamie to do a show in his full Bondage & Dominance regalia.

I can see both sides of the argument pretty clearly and they both have a point (though I don't know what the Fox guy means by "richness of spirit").


He's saying that the poor suck and just aren't as good as rich people.

If you could imagine a ship with 10 people on it, and 1 person is hogging 50% of the resources and space, and everybody else is working and struggling to give that one person an even greater cut of the resources and space, that's what our world has become in a microcosm.

Once again, the "so called poor" are ridiculed by the "so called rich" with their "so called" logic.

I like this video. It raises a lot of good points.

But I confess that I'm even wondering if four years of Ron Paul might not be better than four more years of Obama or one of the other GOP contenders.

Still a year to go.

Why are we campaigning a year in advance?

Shouldn't there be a law against that?

Must you retreat from life?

When all look to us to lead?

My children are our children.

This is a mathematical fact....

Sorry, Lad.

From a Biblical perspective undermined the whole of your argument.

That doesn't mean I don't like you...

Just sort of means you haven't been paying attention!

Thanks for reminding me how vile it was to be young.

Yet wishing to relive it again.
