You're a goddamned liar, Randy, and anyone who cares to verify this only need read back in the thread.

No, he's not a liar, he just knows more about what you think than you do, remember? Rolleyes

CD, do you mind fixing that quote? I really don't want my name associated with Randy Carson...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yeah, when I get caught in a blatant self-serving lie, I always reach for buttery salted snacks as well.

I must say, I'm impressed with the sudden improvement in the quality of his arguments.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
