I assume it's a snipe at the typo.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

But I'm, curious. Who is the Amazing Randy, and why do you think he deserves eternal torment from a good god?
What! you don't know James Randi?
James Randi I know. The Amazing Randy, I don't. Though James Randi is a pretty amazing skeptic.

Mostly it's befuddlement at the rumors of his death. Since I find no evidence that Randi died, I assume she really means a Randy.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

D'oh. Sorry Jenny. Well, any excuse to post Randi vids is a good one I guess.

Welcome, TPT.
No, on three counts:
1). There's no reasonable case that anyone is, has, or will burn in hell.
2). It's 'The Amazing Randi', not 'The Amazing Randy'.
3). The Amazing Randi is not dead at the time of this post, to the best of my knowledge.

I like that kind of typo though.

If Jesus is God, as American evangelicals like to put it, I don't see James Randi burning in Hell. Of course, he's gay and he's atheist, big whoop. But what he does in angrily debunking fake faith healers and psychics is, in my opinion, really close in spirit to some things Jesus would approve of. Can't you see Jesus helping Randi kick out some faith healer from the Mega Church after he's done with the money changers in the temple? So, I actually think, hypothetical Jesus likes James Randi.

And even that doesn't work because they have invented a "Get Out Of Hell Free Card" by just saying "I'm sorry, pappy jesus."
Fucking children, the lot of them.
If there is no Hell, then where do you think that all the dumb asses who reject Christ go when they die?

Some say, Jesus falls into exactly the category Randi is out to debunk.

Exactly to the same place that all the dumb asses believing in christ go. Lights out. The only difference being, the ones not wearing the ball and chains of christianity had a life of their own beforehand.
