This shows gross ignorance of science in general and evolutionary theory in particular, whose validity only extends to things which reproduce imperfectly.Havokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770427187548083625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645439856635422478.post-56884497947677645872010-03-30T18:41:03.045-07:002010-03-30T18:41:03.045-07:00You may find the principles of Jesus Christ danger...You may find the principles of Jesus Christ dangerous, but compared to some New Agers and atheists, I find his ideas incredibly good, both as examples for personal life and principles for society.<br /><br />James Lovelock, however, is someone to fear. Recently, the Father of the Gaia Hypothesis told the London Guardian that he believes “It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while,” in order to save humanity. He says “We need a more authoritative world.” See Prisonplanet.com for details: "Top Eco-Fascist Calls For End Of Freedom To Fight Global Warming."Rick Wardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689451026838986088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645439856635422478.post-17871047455219247662010-03-29T14:06:45.051-07:002010-03-29T14:06:45.051-07:00David - You wrote: "I have asked EVERY fundie...David - You wrote: "I have asked EVERY fundie I've come across, name the atheist that that commited genocide, enslaved peoples or desired to rule the world, lotsa luck!!"<br /><br />Jospeh Stalin was an atheist who, according world history books outside of Russia, committed genocide on a massive scale. <br />Interesting that Stalin, who claimed publicly to disbelieve God's existance, apparently died with extreme hatred towards God. According to his daughter Svetlana, on his deathbed, Stalin suddenly sat up and clenched his fist toward the heavens before falling back dead. This is described in a book by Ravi Zacharias, in an excellent book "Can Man Live without God?"<br /><br />In terms of fundamentalism, what is your definition? Would you consider Jesus to have been a fundamentalist radical? He did not advocate violence and is the only true absolute measure of the ideal of what Christianity is all about.Rick Wardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689451026838986088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645439856635422478.post-3710379605519146232010-03-25T12:17:24.911-07:002010-03-25T12:17:24.911-07:00You just don't get it, do you?
this isn'...You just don't get it, do you?<br /><br /> this isn't a new form of atheism, its the newest reaction to fundamentalism, the baqstion of EVIL, all fundies whether jewish, christian or muslim are but two steps from becoming terrorists, being a fundie you have proven you can be brainwashed, and as those that run these terroerist groups use your books of worship to prove the need for terrorism, your all very close to the edge.<br /> and again , before you open your mouth and prove my point, as you invariably will, remember the tim mcvey( the bomber of the Oklahoma federal building) was raised fundie, just like his partner in the crime<br /> and as I have asked EVERY fundie I've come across, name the atheist that that commited genocide, enslaved peoples or desired to rule the world, lotsa luck!!davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464402330229051843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645439856635422478.post-80226157652545373382010-02-15T10:24:57.308-08:002010-02-15T10:24:57.308-08:00If it is truth that you desire to arrive at or to ...If it is truth that you desire to arrive at or to demonstrate, It may be more sensible to take more quality time to focus on a few key points. If you weigh your answers more carefully it may lead to more fruitful results. But I'm not sure if you are really interested in truth. Actually, as an atheist, you probably do not believe truth exists, am I correct? In this case, I have a question, If there is no truth and meaning, Why bother making comments at all?<br /><br />Perhaps, to some extent, you believe there is real meaning and truth, otherwise why bother writing about ideas at all? <br /><br />The fact that you write shows you assume words have some kind of meaning to you. But are you interested in the possibility that there is also truth? And are you interested in knowing truth if it exists?<br /><br />Aldous Huxley, an atheist, made an observation: "I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning;consequently (I) assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption...For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political."Rick Wardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689451026838986088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645439856635422478.post-73498521802374136582010-02-15T00:12:29.239-08:002010-02-15T00:12:29.239-08:00I did another point by point reply on A/A.I did another point by point reply on A/A.Tatarizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655536699564744308noreply@blogger.com
