God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability

Not just Islam either. Native American' are exempt from certain drug prohibitions. Conscientious objectors do not have to serve militarily, regardless of faith or lack thereof. Sacramental wine was exempt during prohibition. Obscenity laws are not specific to any religious traditions. Anything he can imagine would apply equally to orthodox Jews. For some reason I think this has to do with wedding cakes.

Yep, thought so. Kinda dumb when someone says the law only favors christianity.

But then again, this is the same person who claims it is scientific fact that a human fetus is a parasite.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Posting on an atheist forum has no effect on proposed laws.

Sure it does.  You just can't tell from inside your christer-bubble.

I'm playing along, as I can't believe you're so deep in your bubble that you don't know of these things.

Are you saying that Christians should only be allowed to practice their religion in private? You do realize that the freedom of conscience and the free exercise of religion is a protected human right subject only to a compelling state interest, which is a very high standard. Or have you stopped believing in human rights? Or maybe you think some human rights are more equal than others.

Or maybe you're just so blind that you can't see the problem.  Practicing your religion should not include pushing it on other people, or making them pay for your fantasy. And your rant about human rights is ludicrous.  Jump to ridiculous conclusions much?

They do.  The authors of the bill in Indiana said as much.  A muslim claiming religious freedom is just a potential terrorist in their eyes.  The only religious freedom that these christians want is to do whatever they want and say its part of their practice. Of course, all other religions don't count, because they're obviously false.

I'm talking about the recent plague of laws being enacted.

And all it takes is to look up the definition of parasite to show I'm right.

Specifics please and also try to explain how they favor only Christians.

WebMD seems to consider it a baby right from the start. Fetal Development Slide Show Apparently you know something the experts don't. (doubt it, though)

Do your own homework.  It's not like it'll make any difference to you.

So, it's a baby parasite.  Did they say I was wrong?

You guys shouldn't care...and yet you apparently do.

That's because assholes like you keep showing up sprinkling jesus dust on our carpets.  It's always the same shit, too.  You never have anything new.

Shock, horror.
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.'
