<quoted text>At least a gnostic theist would have some form of education. Personally, I'm a gnostic agnostic. I can prove that all the man made Gods up to now cannot possibly have ever existed, but I leave room for someone to prove their God to me. So far my agnosticism is winning, though it did not always do so. I spent many years as a Christian. Then one day the universe opened up and infinity was in view. I realized how much I'd missed, how much I don't know and how small my world was. It was a great moment that has lasted for several years now. Funny what you can see when you are sitting on a curb waiting for a guy to fix your flat and bring it back. It's like nothing I had ever experienced as a theist, I can tell you that for sure. It was like seeing a whole universe being born, the infinite shrunk to just the right size for viewing, the music of the spheres playing in the middle of a quiet afternoon. I will never forget that moment.

So now you hear and understand "squrrals"?

<quoted text>This is what every generation has said since this craziness was written by John of Patmos.

There is no more 'evil' in the world than there was in the fictitious stories of your holey book. Earthquakes, storms, wars, murders and the like have been around since the earth congealed into this rolling dirt ball.

This is the tactic of charlatans to instill fear so that weak-minded people will join your little clan. But fewer and fewer are buying into it. If I had the power, I would give all of you a glimpse of what freedom from that kind of fear is.

But, playing devil's advocate here :) those things could all be civilization enders. And they are very real.
Some we have no control over and can only prepare for.
Some are inevitable, but most likely far off in the future.
Some are completely within our control, but only if we, as a planet, take responsibility and stop handing that responsibility to a useless, invisible, unreliable, and most likely non-existent deity.

So you are really going to go with the rain fell on rocks for millions and millions of year washing just the right amnio acid into a pond where this goo sat there for millions and millions of years until all at once a spec became a living thing. And before it died ( most likely that night ) it mutated and yes "AND" reproduced spawning all life that ever lived came from. " Plants, lizards, fish, manuals, bacteria, insects, and dinosaurs, etc. "
Vs God created it all.
Science says the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
So all life from this one spec!
But yet you all say Adam and Eve could not produce all humanity.
There no talking sense to such one sided wild far out theory's

Pilgrims were FOB Puritans; they saw (before the Puritans) the state Church of England . Puritans were Pilgrims who tarried. Puritans did not think them "weird" and it wasn't other Puritans that drove the Pilgrims out of England, it was the state church prosecution of all Puritans (et al., not of the state church) that drove out the Pilgrims. The Puritans (in large numbers) followed the Pilgrims over within a couple decades.

It's over 8 percent right now, HOney.
And the question is: which is of more import, the 8 percent unemployment, or your concerns about a motto on the back of the US currency.
