  1. Bollocks. Your entire post ridicules the Bible and those who believe in it. Apologizing at the end just in case you said something that could be construed as offensive, and claiming that in reality you are on a quest to gain knowledge, is a joke.
  2. I actually find it scary that people can so easily be convinced to give up their liberty. It seems to be the mindset that "as long as the liberty contrained is not one that affects me personally, then it is acceptable". But power moves from group to group, and over time all people will feel essential liberties contrained. So many people seem to find it difficult to keep their eye on the big picture. And sadly, the people selected to lead us are often the ones causing the biggest distraction.
  3. For starters, because it is none of their fucking business. How about the next time you try to buy a copy of a book that is deemed questionable, the government makes you go through counseling before you are allowed to buy it, just so you are fully aware of the risks you are taking and to ensure you are mentally sound enough to handle it? I cannot believe how much some people like the government to be involved in their lives. Especially something as personal as whether or not to have an abortion. I guess we just have to assume people are stupid and can't function without the government helping them every step of the way.
  4. You've already done all you can.

  7. No, not all previous generations. But previous generations somewhat further back in the family tree.
  8. Is it time to call Troll? This cannot possibly be just a misunderstanding.
  9. Not a problem. I slept through the whole thing! But thanks for taking the time to get it resolved.
  10. OMG! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution
  11. Ok, fair enough. Please share with us the science proven to you that evolution is untrue. Or what parts of evolution you find to be false and why. Or what articles, websites, links supplied in this thread, etc. you've looked at that haven't convinced you. We'll be happy to address any specific areas you are questioning. Others have shared with you their evidence that it is true. As an adult, I'm sure you'll reciprocate in this discussion forum by sharing your side of the issue. Since you opened the thread I can only assume to want to have a discussion. Please start with any part of evolution you'd like, and tell us why you think it is wrong. Thanks.
  12. The odd thing today is that any person can have access to such vast amounts of information at the touch of a mouse, and not realize how utterly ignorant they are of evidence known to children, and how sad and pathetic that makes them look. Is this somehow evidence that evolution has stopped for some? Are they wilfully ignorant or feeble minded? What makes a person broadcast his ignorance for the world to see? If someone can in fact provide a proof that this type of person is not in fact somehow impaired, I would be happy to see it. In the pinball game of life, some people's flippers are just a little further apart than other's.
  13. Hee Hee. That's pretty funny. Generally the people who get their facts from God don't believe in evolution. BTW, I hope you have a lot of body armor because the people you just invited to this party are well armed.
  14. It's kind of like a bumper sticker. A good sound bite if it falls in line with your views, but it's really rather trivial.
  15. I don't know why you are singling out the belly button. How would they have any body part at all? If you didn't come from parents then all of your body parts were 'created' for you. Surely if you can build a brain you can build a belly button.
  16. They are not actual pictures of Adam and Eve.
  17. He also stuck needles in his eyes and stared at the sun to see what would happen. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow.
  18. Can I ask why you are looking only for an atheist's perspective?
  19. Are you ethically opposed to eating animals because they are sentient, or because of the conditions under which they are raised? Would you be ethically opposed to eating animals if while living they were really enjoying themselves?
  20. I cannot get over how a few types of particles at one extreme can be ultimately responsible for what we find at the other extreme. Words fail me.
  21. I read this about beef cattle: Does this mean that most beef cattle are not eating from land that is farmed? I also saw this: It sounds like it is quite a mixture of what they eat, although I didn't see anything specifying "averge percentage of feed coming from crops" or any similar stat. I didn't bother to provide links as they didn't really look like good sites. They just got me thinking about what you said and was wondering if you could provide more info.
  22. Yeah, let's see how they like it for a change.
  23. Never said it did. Never said it was. Didn't take you long to compare my statements to nazis. You've got to be kidding. So what? Who is arguing for economics? Not the same but related. It also makes me full, happy, etc. All I did was answer the question you asked "Why do you eat meat?" Don't read so much into it!. So... I am still sure that there is NO ethical argument for NOT eating meat. Sure you are! And I quote: And...
