230	That clearly went whooshing over your head. It was intended to mock the OP. (Interesting "new" bibilical revelation, indeed.) I don't put any credence in silly comparisons like the trite Kennedy/Lincoln litany that arose in the 60's or the similarly absurd list that INRI posted. They both demonstrate how one can concoct meaningless comparisons in an attempt to invent a non-existent connection between two unrelated events. It is the same for all "prophesies".	Non-Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Agree
231	dear thetruth, i have posted it as a serious topic. and of course it is meant to get people talking, thinking and arguing. if you were watching/listening to the trump press conference that obama brink into the middle of (beceause he was getting slaughtered), you would take this seriously. btw, on may 23rd (the day after he finisheds the last apprentice show), we can expect some announcement! what it will be i don't know, but i bet it will be trump confirming he will run for president. andy	Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Disagree
232	Not really the ball park is too wide. The place you live would be older than the earth. Take egypt. If Moses wrote Genesis the country he lived in was documented as older than his creation. It can't be 6-days. Angry Black Man Xqs me I mean Angry African American (AAA).	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
233	That's is ridiculously poor logic. Simply becuase the church makes mistakes doesn't mean it's incorrect in all other charges. The US government is WAY more corrupt than the Catholic Church, and yet we obey every god-damned thing big brother makes us do.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree

258	i love how you speak for all christians when you say that. 'as a racist, i believe that black people...' society has a compelling interest in, if not exposing people to differing cultures, lifestyles etc., then at least in not going out of its way to hide them. if homosexuals are so wrong, then the children will figure that out on their own without government prodding.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
259	the government has no business invading into the private, legal activities of two individuals. and how is requirement able to defeat straw purchasers? if you don't feel comfortable making the sale, don't make it. it's as simple as that.	Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Disagree
260	The judge should be informed that 'the leading' IDist admits that ID is religion. (yes, I've posted this before...) What else could an unembodied designer, which naturalism perforce excludes, be but a deity? So Dembski's ID has one or more unspecified deities - supernatural, unembodied designers - creating biological systems, at some unknown time, at some unknown place, by some unknown series of steps. What a great scientific theory! :-)	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
261	You know what I find amusing here...your entire argument revolves around how it will affect your wallet. Forget about the lives of the people who are denied rights in this country that you take forgranted. That is the true christian-American spirit isn't it? Oh how proud our forefathers would be if they could see us now...oh wait...most of them owned people...nevermind.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
262	i'm not surprised that you side with them. you're three peas in a pod. my point was that constantly beating dissenter over the head with the bible is counter-productive and the antithesis of jesus' message. i suggest that if your goal is to fight all religious challengers, you're in the wrong religion. you should be muslims. muslins want to beat non-believers into submission, not christians.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
263	NO, these were all ammedments. all passed. All written recently. There are laws on the book from the 1800's but that isn't what just passed.	Non-Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Agree
264	Why would they be useless? They aren't useless on birds? And how is this qustion different in any meaningful way from the above? Aren't wings forelimbs with feathers? It seems that soaring or gliding or even faster running would be extremely useful.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
265	Well then. All of the ex-christians have it both ways don't they. Since they are saved they can lie, cheat, steal and have wild, illicit sex (following the example of several christian preachers).	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
266	It's all very interesting, but you left out a critical piece of information. You deliberately omitted the fact that most of the black victims were killed by fellow blacks. These weren't murders carried out by racist white guys, they're the examples of black on black violence.	Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Disagree
267	you are attempting to trivialize the bias we who are gay, face, against our sexuality. you try to trivialize everything we have accomplished in terms of social acceptance, that heterosexuals have always taken for granted. your assinine comments show sensitivity to no one. maybe you'd like to start a pride movement for ignorant, insensitive, jackasses? society is moving so against that group right now.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
268	Sinjin, Your simian like intelligence has understandably misinterpreted my post, I never once implied that I aspire to be a do-gooder or that I applauded philanthropy. For your information I detest charity and philanthropy (philosophically speaking). Your simian barks from the sidelines are entertaining, but nothing else. Now to the other heckler Waxy, who at least offered more than an unintelligible grunt in his / her heckle.	Non-Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Disagree
269	I think a free society works better by saying "You have to have at least a certain variety to give your customers a choice in products". Businesses should have the restrictions, not private citizens.	Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Disagree

Do you want me to start posting incessant threads pointing them all out?And I am the moderator for the formal debate forum, not the entire board. Want to debate me on the benefits of gays on society vs Christianity?	Non-Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Disagree
276	Manslaughter involves a direct action that causes an unintentional death. Miscarriage is involuntary; besides the person suffering a miscarriage might well want to keep the baby. To equate miscarriage with manslaughter is preposterous.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree

280	The gentleman (??) in question has been presented the facts numerous times. He "pooh-pooh"s them as irrelevant. He places himself above scientific research. He doesn't know the difference between unsolicitated testimonials and scientific evidence.	Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Disagree

282	are you done spamming and threatening me with admin? that's just lame and pathetic.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
283	I guess I'd have to reluctantly admit that it didn't take long for some....but I'm an eternal optimist and think civility will prevail. Besides, I try not to judge everybody by the acts of a few.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
284	daniel dennett asks, how did just one species, homo sapiens, acquire the numinous perspective that can have such a profound influence on people's lives? he seems to think that religions evolved and originally served a 'primitive' philosophical intention - such as explaining the hidden 'causes' of natural events in pre-scientific societies. to give just one example: the rise and fall of the tides were observed, but not understood. so the phenomena were attributed to the power of a god (or gods) etc. i think this is a pretty commonplace answer, but not necessarily wrong. why has religion survived the scepticism of the intellectual enlightenment and the rational attacks of science? the idea that some fundamental 'psychic need' in humanity is satisfied by having religious beliefs seems (to me) the most promising speculation.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
285	And, what percentage is that? How was the poll conducted? Who conducted it? How was the determination made about who was a 'scientist'?	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
286	So the initial murder wasn't enough to show "that they are willing to commit acts of violence"? This makes absolutely no sense.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree

290	i am surprised scientists havn't made so much of a fuss about you. wow......	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
291	Oh that greatly changes the equation doesn't it? Very unrealistic, but for the sakes of the debate, why not? Well, alledgedly, 23 innocent people have been put to death, and for sure two unrefutable cases. I don't support killing people as a deterrent or as any means in a justice system.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
292	Does any part of the theory of evolution give an accounting of how we transitioned from quadruped movements of the ape to biped?	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
293	Simply put tq, and try real hard to comprehend this. I was referring to statues and a false belief system, not human beings which Saints and Mary both clearly are. Here are the quotes of mine that you posted again to remind you of the very clear difference.	Non-Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Disagree
294	Perfect. A creationists caught repeating the same refuted arguments on different forums. Resistance is met, run like a coward to another forum.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
295	So we should wait till the blastocyst is definitely a tumour, in case it turns into a fetus?	Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Disagree
296	So? There are other articles and books that do. Is your link the ultimate authority on the cause of crime?	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
297	Being in the minority or in the majority is irrelevant. Belief has no bearing on reality.	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree
298	Yes but of course was that rreally a consious choice? I see sarcasm but no real answer that is credible.......seesh if I wanted srcasm I would have watched the Orielly factor. (oh wait thats yelling and bicering) knida like politics! (oops sarcasm hehe)	Sarcastic	Non-Sarcastic	Disagree
299	Why? You'll just call them 'stupid'. And by doing so you will have effectively trumped all of the facts in one fell swoop. Right?	Sarcastic	Sarcastic	Agree

Actually, it does no such thing. It merely means a secular moralist must justify moral codes on the basis of their intrinsic rationality and real world consequences, rather than appealing to a deity as an arbitrary authority.

Well, I have heard people on the pro-gun side say that most defensive gun uses don't involve firing even one round. So limiting the capacity would probably have less of an effect on the ability to defend yourself than on crime. So why are people from the gun lobby always whining about restrictions like this? When semi-automatic rifles were banned in Australia, hunters welcomed the law. They saw it as a challenge because it takes greater skill to shoot an animal with a bolt action rifle. Not so in America where some gun owners like to use guns that could take down planes to shoot small animals.

That clearly went whooshing over your head. It was intended to mock the OP. (Interesting "new" bibilical revelation, indeed.) I don't put any credence in silly comparisons like the trite Kennedy/Lincoln litany that arose in the 60's or the similarly absurd list that INRI posted. They both demonstrate how one can concoct meaningless comparisons in an attempt to invent a non-existent connection between two unrelated events. It is the same for all "prophesies".

dear thetruth, i have posted it as a serious topic. and of course it is meant to get people talking, thinking and arguing. if you were watching/listening to the trump press conference that obama brink into the middle of (beceause he was getting slaughtered), you would take this seriously. btw, on may 23rd (the day after he finisheds the last apprentice show), we can expect some announcement! what it will be i don't know, but i bet it will be trump confirming he will run for president. andy

Not really the ball park is too wide. The place you live would be older than the earth. Take egypt. If Moses wrote Genesis the country he lived in was documented as older than his creation. It can't be 6-days. Angry Black Man Xqs me I mean Angry African American (AAA).

That's is ridiculously poor logic. Simply becuase the church makes mistakes doesn't mean it's incorrect in all other charges. The US government is WAY more corrupt than the Catholic Church, and yet we obey every god-damned thing big brother makes us do.

No, Christianity holds that Jesus IS God. That Jesus also is NOT God just shows how contradictory the Bible is for Christians (but they overlook logic and hold blindly to their silly trinity position anyway).

i love how you speak for all christians when you say that. 'as a racist, i believe that black people...' society has a compelling interest in, if not exposing people to differing cultures, lifestyles etc., then at least in not going out of its way to hide them. if homosexuals are so wrong, then the children will figure that out on their own without government prodding.

The judge should be informed that 'the leading' IDist admits that ID is religion. (yes, I've posted this before...) What else could an unembodied designer, which naturalism perforce excludes, be but a deity? So Dembski's ID has one or more unspecified deities - supernatural, unembodied designers - creating biological systems, at some unknown time, at some unknown place, by some unknown series of steps. What a great scientific theory! :-)

You know what I find amusing here...your entire argument revolves around how it will affect your wallet. Forget about the lives of the people who are denied rights in this country that you take forgranted. That is the true christian-American spirit isn't it?

i'm not surprised that you side with them. you're three peas in a pod. my point was that constantly beating dissenter over the head with the bible is counter-productive and the antithesis of jesus' message. i suggest that if your goal is to fight all religious challengers, you're in the wrong religion. you should be muslims. muslins want to beat non-believers into submission, not christians.

It's all very interesting, but you left out a critical piece of information. You deliberately omitted the fact that most of the black victims were killed by fellow blacks. These weren't murders carried out by racist white guys, they're the examples of black on black violence.

you are attempting to trivialize the bias we who are gay, face, against our sexuality. you try to trivialize everything we have accomplished in terms of social acceptance, that heterosexuals have always taken for granted. your assinine comments show sensitivity to no one. maybe you'd like to start a pride movement for ignorant, insensitive, jackasses? society is moving so against that group right now.

daniel dennett asks, how did just one species, homo sapiens, acquire the numinous perspective that can have such a profound influence on people's lives? he seems to think that religions evolved and originally served a 'primitive' philosophical intention - such as explaining the hidden 'causes' of natural events in pre-scientific societies. to give just one example: the rise and fall of the tides were observed, but not understood. so the phenomena were attributed to the power of a god (or gods) etc. i think this is a pretty commonplace answer, but not necessarily wrong. why has religion survived the scepticism of the intellectual enlightenment and the rational attacks of science? the idea that some fundamental 'psychic need' in humanity is satisfied by having religious beliefs seems (to me) the most promising speculation.
