Ron Paul is a libertarian.


Dick Cheney is a neo-con.


Big difference.

WHO? Are they American reality television celebrities?

If you you mean working class ones like Adrian, fair enough,I think he's pretty hilarious.

I don't count myself as working class, but regardless...the feeling is mutual. One can only laugh at socialists attempting to rationalise their ideas as "progressive" rather than "oppressive".

And some of us find it funny that you consider socialism to be an antithesis of progress Of course 'socialist' regimes can easily be oppressive... but then what else would one expect from a regime?

Libertarians are just funny....not dangerous.

HA! Adrian doesn't work!

This attitude about an angry/vengeful God is something I really don't understand about Christianity. Half the time many go around spreading messages of Gods love, which doesnt seem to extend to us non-believers? To me he sounds like a total bastard!

What is so hard to understand that God must punish sin? God does not want anyone (including nonbelievers) to perish. Would a "bastard" (your word, not mine) provide a way to avoid so easily this fate? That is why He sent Jesus to pay for our sins on the cross.

Didn't you get spankings as a child when you did wrong? Don't we put criminals in prison?

What you are missing here, little buddy, is that we do not believe that god(s) exist in the first place. Without that belief, your anecdotal stories and circular logic will have no effect on us (other than laughter). If your goal is to show us the error of our ways, you will have to begin by showing real, empirical evidence to support the contention that god(s) exist. Until someone can do that, the rest is moot.

1. To do so he'd have to exist.

2. If he created sin and has the power to stop people from being born in the first place who will later desire it, then he should do that if he is truly 'loving'. It does not violate the 'God gave people free will' bullshit if God merely only creates people in the first place who only ('freely') desire doing good lol :p

Okay. Please explain the "sin" committed by the babies and toddlers who were drowned in the flood of Noah.

God does not want anyone (including nonbelievers) to perish.

And yet, children die from cancer every day.

Would a "bastard" (your word, not mine) provide a way to avoid so easily this fate? That is why He sent Jesus to pay for our sins on the cross.

This makes absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever. Why would you let someone else take the punishment for YOUR wrongdoing?

Didn't you get spankings as a child when you did wrong? Don't we put criminals in prison?

Do we drown babies?

Who would have taken care of the babies and toddlers after the adults drowned? Certainly eight people couldn't have.
