Prove there's a god.

The problem is they are trying to push their nonsensical creation story on the schools as science. Ricky: Im living it up just fine without praying. As for you athiest loud mouths your no better then the bible thumpers, sad to say you have alot in common. You both hold a strong belief of someone or something and you have to lay your ideology on people like your that big of a deal. AY: If you knew anything about science, then you'd know that it is based on empirical evidence unlike religion which has no verifiable evidence for the existence of anything supernatural. Ricky: IF there was a god and he did sacrifice himself for us and thats all this BS is about, maybe you should open your eyes to the big picture because theres people sacrificing themselves for you right now, your SOLDIERS. AY: What's happening in Iraq and Afghanistan has nothing to do with the xtian belief in salvation. Did you ever wonder why Jesus had to suffer like that? That must have been some blood-thirsty, sadistic god he was appeasing.  (11 min ago | post #98317)

Prove there's a god.

And that appears to mean that the ancients thought their god had arms and legs, etc, just like people. The hand of god writes on the wall of Balshazzar. He appears to have a mouth too. Josh.9[14] And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. 1Kings.13[21] And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee... Job1[11] But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. and ears: Pss.10[17] LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: Pss.17[6] I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.  (17 min ago | post #98315)

Former astronaut scoffs at global warming

The people living in bubbles are the ones who think that global climate change will only affect other people somewhere else or choose to remain ignorant of how melting glaciers and global poisoning are affecting people who make a subsistance living. Right now, we are told to limit the amount of fish we eat because of the mercury. People with asthma are told to stay indoors on days of heavy pollution. We just accept that more children are developing asthma and cancers. We quickly forget about Love Canal and Bhopal. They are like the frog in the slowly-warming pot. They want to see dramatic changes and refuse to look at the last fifty years of research shown in the Keeling curve.  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #912)

Believers like to inflate their own importance by conflating arguments against their beliefs or their attempts to impose their religious beliefs on others with a battle against their non-existent god  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #98119)

WILL SHARIA LAW WORK IN AMERICA? pros and cons

We certainly do not. Our law was based on English common law. There is little in our laws that resemble all those laws in the Bible. ledfarmor: besides arab and muzzies are a primitive and backwards species, should we allow for sharia law it wold be setting democracy back a few centuries and ain't nobody wants that. god knows their own women don't want that. dirty arab chimps, can't do nothing right. AY: You don't sound that informed yourself. You are using classic hate tactics that have been employed by all hate-mongers and authoritarians, generalizing about other people, calling them less than human. If you deny people their humanity, then the only solution is extermination just like the Nazis did. As I said, the orthodox jews have their own rabbinical courts right in the U.S.. They deal with family issues which are no more liberal than sharia law on marriage and divorce. Some version of sharia law may operate in the U.S.. since we already have the Jewish precedent.  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #310)

Former astronaut scoffs at global warming

Lord Monckton's credentials as a science advisor have been questioned. "He has been described in some quarters as a "former science adviser to British prime minister Margaret Thatcher and a world-renowned scholar."[9] However, his credentials as a commentator on climate change have been questioned by some commentators. James Hoggan and Richard Littlemore note in their book Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming that Monckton has "no training whatsoever in science", and criticize his asserted credentials as "unfounded self-promotion. "[10] The Daily Telegraph has described him as "a former economic adviser".[4][ wiki] He sounds like an old cold warrior in his March 2009 address, using childish name-calling instead of scientific evidence. http://www.heartla nd.org/full/24881/ Great_Is_Truth_and _Mighty_Above_All_ Things.html "...Monckton has referred to himself as a "peer of the House of Lords" but is not a member of that body.[5] Monckton was an unsuccessful candidate for a Conservative seat in the House of Lords in a March 2007 by-election caused by the death of Lord Mowbray and Stourton. He received no votes in the election.[6]" [wiki] "...Monckton is a member of the Worshipful Company of Broderers, an Officer of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, a Knight of Honour and Devotion of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and a member of the Roman Catholic Mass Media Commission... " Well, if he's a catholic, that would explain his rabid fear of "Reds". Writing in Salon, Alex Koppelman criticized Monckton's assertions about the conference's framework for negotiation as being "woefully inaccurate. And that's a nice way of putting it." [21][22] The St. Petersburg Times's PolitiFact.com described his assertions as "not only unsupported but preposterous" and awarded him a special rating of "britches on fire".[23] Ethan Baron of the Canadian newspaper The Province criticized Monckton's assertions as the product of a "whacked-out, far-right ideology, combined with an ego the size of the Antarctic ice sheet."[24][w iki] Sounds like all that inbreeding in the British aristocracy may be taking its toll on old Moncky.  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #909)

Your use of "altruistic " sounds like you are a fan of Ayn Rand. The fact is that eventually we will all be counting the amount of energy we consume or generating our own energy in part because we cannot continue to burn coal for most of our energy as we do today. And the nuclear industry still hasn't got the method of disposing of its waste down to a point where it is both safe and economical. How many people have to have asthma and other respiratory problems before we stop burning coal or find a way to keep the lead, mercury and other poisonous wastes out of the air? We are concerned about children eating lead-based paint, but we allow lead to be spewed into the atmosphere and onto the earth and the sea. Do you know the ocean is becoming more acid from fossil fuel pollution? Your so-called altruism is actually just plain old survival for us in the first world too. The earth is one ecosystem. What happens to one part of it affects us all. You can try to live in a bubble, but I don't think it will be very enjoyable.  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #908)
