Canada's solution to school prayer: segregation.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

I have a little bone to pick with your signature.

Great! Have at it!

Quote:#1. Science doesn't get you to the moon or the stars.


Are you one of those twits who thinks the moon landings were faked?

Quote:In fact it has failed to reach the stars at all.

I guess you've never heard of the Hubbell Telescope.

Quote: God given intelligence and determination did the former.

Intelligence + science = space exploration (among other things). Now, as for your assertion that intelligence is "God given", what evidence do you have to back that up?

Quote:#2. No suicidal fanatics from a false religion that teaches hatred for others flew into buildings.

Yes, the followers of a RELIGION flew planes into buildings. Their religion inspired them to do this. I agree that their religion is false. As are all religions.

Quote: Most religions do not teach such activities are good and need to be practiced. Christianity certainly doesn't.

Oh, come on! For centuries Christianity had no problem torturing people or burning them at the stake for imagined "crimes" like heresy and blasphemy.

Quote:#3. It is appointed unto man once to die, then the judgement.

Oh, gee. Sounds like crap from your Babble. Is this supposed to impress me?

Quote: Do you think that God is going to suspend that part of life just to please a lowly atheist like you?

Since I have no doubt your deity is imaginary, I don't expect him to do anything.

Quote:If all people lived to a ripe old age, we would still have to deal with Hitler, Stalin and other vicious people decades longer than we did

Wow. What an asinine argument. Hitler WOULD have probably lived for a few more decades, except that we STOPPED HIM! And Stalin dying solved nothing. It just gave the people of Russia a new tyrant to deal with.

Quote: plus the world would be so over-crowded that there woul dnot be enough food and wter for everyone.

Unsubstantiated nonsense.

Quote: {then we would see atheists killing people just to survive}.

Nice moronic insult. If anything, I would expect believers to band together and kill non-believers. That's pretty much what has happened throughout history. The Crusades ring a bell?

Quote:In other words, your signature is inflammatory and far from the truth.

I think it's right on, and I've had several comments applauding me for it.

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

Are you one of those people who has to be abusive to all those who disagree with you?

It hasn't reached the stars. It only takes pictures of some of them.

Quote:as for your assertion

Calling it an assertion doesn't mean it is.

Quote:the followers of a RELIGION flew planes into buildings

Oh so now that an error is found in your signature you change it here. Your signature is misleading, and wrong.

Quote:For centuries Christianity had no problem torturing people or burning them at the stake for imagined "crimes" like heresy and blasphemy

You are confused and ocnfusing the Roman Catholic Church with Christianity. The RCC committed those atrocity not christianity. Your over-generalization distorts the reality.

Quote:Hitler WOULD have probably lived for a few more decades, except that we STOPPED HIM

You missed the point.

You think this is being abusive? I'm asking a question. You claimed that science hasn't gotten us to the moon. Since we obviously did land on the moon, the only explanation I can think of is that you're one of those idiots who thinks the moon landings were faked.

Taking pictures of stars, galaxies, etc. that are so far away that they are not visible to any other telescope IS "getting us there".

Nope, no error and I'm not wrong. If not for religion, the Muslim dispshits would have had no compelling reason to hijack airliners and fly them into buildings. It's a perfect metaphor for where religion takes you.

That's like saying I'm confusing Londoners with the British.

Quote:The RCC committed those atrocity not christianity. Your over-generalization distorts the reality.

"Londoners committed those atrocities! Not the British!" Makes about as much sense.

Quote:Hitler WOULD have probably lived for a few more decades, except that we STOPPED HIM

Quote:You missed the point.

How so? You said that we would have had Hitler for many more years if our life spans were longer. I pointed out that Hitler did not die of natural causes.

And I noticed you did not answer the question I asked a couple of days ago.

Do you think "God" created everything?

The point usually does with religionists, Thor, it usually does. All they can hear is a 'Woooooossh' sound.

RE: Canada's solution to school prayer: segregation.
Oh Canada, will you ever get freedom of religion right?
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
