Ya know...you tried that with dr. Fuzzy months ago and all it did was devolve into mudslinging. What's happened to you EP? Getting bored again?
EP simply gets jealous when others gets things he doesn't get, no matter how trivial.

It depends on what it is and where it leads.
"I believe god told me to nuke the world and I feel in my heart it is the right thing to do."
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Absolutely nothing. Until you start trying to convince others to believe the same thing. Then you have to provide good solid reasons why - proof and data, not feelings or verses from a book.

Hearts pump blood; they don't harbor feelings.
That said: nothing. Just don't try to push it on anyone else
