I wonder at so many "religious" people - their refusal to jump out of the box and start exploring. I think it's fear.


The same can be said for some Atheists who repeat the same old shit that you hear from many atheists then when you start questioning them they either can't or have no real reasons to back up their statements.


Of course. I consider atheism as much a matter of faith as belief in deity. There is no substantive proof that deity exists and there is no proof that deity does not exist. Both sides become dogmatic...


Oh gods, not this crap again.

Atheists =/= "people who actively believe there is no god".

In a bout of practically and self-preservation (and humour). It seems its because Chrisitians are so readily avaliable and unlikely to form a mob (now days) and crucifiy us on the spot. That and the fact that most of us have no direct knowledge and experience with other religions (generalisation) thus it allows us to "bash" with a certain degree of information.

Bashing on something you know completely nothing about isn't right by any standards, religious or not. Probably why we don't bash on Islam, Judaism, Shinto, etc. Just bad luck i guess. The unfortunate roll of "our" almighty God's D20.

Haha..this is the part where we all laugh.
If I had to protect my country with anything. It would have to be the Fourth Wall.

There is yet to be a power/firearm/nuclear weapon/.45 Magnum/drill created, man-made or otherwise, which can break the invisible, indestructible and unflinching might of the Fourth Wall.

Go on, try and break it.

It's because Christians get chocolate eggs and presents, and the atheists both don't and feel bitter about it. That was why the Cold War started up.

Nah - those are for pagans. Sitting around the pagantree, eating the pagan dinner, hanging up the pagan stockings, finding the pagan eggs etc.

Well, this is a fairly simple answer.

She passed over the International Date Line, presumably going from the West to the East. (Asia landmass to NA landmass)

How does a war on small pox relate to Christianity collaboration?
