It's all I see as I look down the forum - must be a Yank thing. Why are you bringing up religion if it bugs you?  Really though, don't you find it interesting to ponder things that surpass your physical limitations? Don't you enjoy discussing things that as of now are not answerable? Religion and supernatural topics interest me. That's why I like threads concerning such topics. If you don't like these type threads, why not just ignore them, as I do the pie threads?  |

He doesn't care about religion, he just likes to snipe at the Americans. Very well done, too. Ouch!

Well the benefit of the cheap seats is that I have no real stake in the outcome of things. I can enjoy myself more. Those who have already chosen sides in the struggle of religions, where only one can be right, have alot more to lose. No matter who ends up being right, a majority of the left over people are going to be wrong. I win either way. Either my life blinks out with no more pain or nightmares, or I get to live free of God in hell rather than in heaven as a slave. It must be nice to have the unassaiblable view point, since no one can question your beliefs since you don't have one. Which makes your commentary on this subject rather pointless. However like I always say, "different strokes for different folks". I will be right there in Hell with you. _____________________

However like I always say, "different strokes for different folks". I will be right there in Hell with you. That is the fun part, though. The Christian view point is unassailable as well. I haven't died yet, so I can't tell you that everything Christians believe is false. I just know that somehow its going to work out that most people are wrong since no one religion is followed by the majority of people. I do have beliefs as well. I'm not an atheist that believes I have lack of beliefs. Part of my belief system is that there is no God. I'm not able to see into the unobservable realms of the universe, so I honestly like to say I believe in no God. I also have a belief that the God described in the Bible is someone I would hate if he existed. I have a very well defined belief system as does every other person including atheist. The subject has always been pointless to discuss as everyone's views are unassailable, but it is one of the most fun topics to discuss in my opinion. I just wish more people enjoyed poking holes in my belief system. I think other people like to dismiss me as crazy fairly quickly though, and I can understand why. |

They have had an inferiority complex ever since we kicked their asses with a makeshift army back in 1776. The fact that they needed us to save their asses from the Germans in WW2 didn't help much either. So let him have his fun with the “yanks” thing. I mean really, he needs something to hold onto after all. The Brits even believe they invented the internet and television, so give them a break ok? |

As to what this thread was originally about, attacking a specific religion for what it preaches isn't the same as the debate over whether God exists or not.
Just because a person hates Christianity doesn't mean they are an atheist. I always have to laugh when someone uses a specifically Christian idea to “prove” that God doesn't exist. Just because the belief system of one particular religion may or may not be wrong doesn't disprove God's existence. If you are trying to do it that way you need to find one thing that all the religions in the world believe together, and then discredit that. Good luck with that one! People in the US tend to forget that billions of people in the world that believe in God(s) are not Christians. |

The yanks didn't invent velcro. It was a natural thing from cockleburs and other bur plants. The concept was adapted by a Swiss engineer and amateur botanist, George de Mestral.

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

Incidently, the Yanks wouldn't have gotten to the moon without the help of some German scientists that were 'persuaded' to cross the atlantic after the end o WW2.
(certainly not before the Russians at least) |

How are we Americans ever going to be good at anything if we don't steal people from other countries with promises of huge sums of cash? I mean, come on, Wayne Gretzky wasn't born here! So, we...fixed him. -Pall |
