I second that.

You & Co. have the option to ignore my posts, isn't it? ;)

Instead, I expressed my opinion of it.

Really, you've struck bottom with this article you posted. But keep on digging, if down is the direction you're interested in.

We'll you've dug lower. Pure flamebaiting now? :down:

Childish to the extreme.

Well said.

When the rational thought ends, harsh words fly.
The image is not to bother anyone, just to show its effects.

Show the effects of what exactly? Your lack of a rational argument?

Yeah, right... :roll:

You like that? Good! Don't take it litterally since its overly simplistic (and meant to be that way), but it goes along the lines of the arguments Von Capo is throwing out there to show how idiotic they are.

That´s just a worst-case scenario, things that theoretically could happen. And I agree that it could. Speaking of myself, I´m an atheist for like 20 years now and the older I get the higher my moral values become it seems.

I agree.
Atheists have the higher level of moral values than any other group I had found. :yep::yep::yep::yep::yep:

And this is not joke. :|\\

Quite the contrary. You two represent the minority in that regard. I only wish I could have helped a friend or two over the years, but their ever declining lack of morals is evident of any athiest society. Its is rather sad, but there is nothing I can do for them since their choice is their choice.

Moral values tend to increase in most people as they become older. I think it has to do with having a greater number of life experiences to illustrate their value.

Muslims are killing "infidels" and each other by the 10's and 100's of thousands, Muslims threaten ALL who do not live as they say with death, Europe is burning at the hand of rioting Muslims......

...but Christianity is the "threat" you people worry about?

I must have slipped into the twilight zone.

Do not worry, there will be a special chapter for them.

Regardless on what side of the religion debates a person maybe, it is wrong to force your ideals upon others. The problem is it's a vicious circle. It starts somewhere. What a wonderful situation if the religious right would just accept other peoples views. Then the otherside would lay off the other, and we woudlnt have silly bickering in this country over stupid crap like a marble statue of a book in a courthouse.

Im reminded of a poltical cartoon a saw awhile ago, but it stuck in my mind because of the irony. It depected a protest outside of the whitehouse by the religious right, holding signs saying, "USA is a christian nation!". In the foreground you had two characters. One, was one of the picketers holding above said sign, yelling at the second character who was wearing a T shirt that said, "non christian" the caption was, a speech from the pricketing protester, it said, "You feel oppressed?! Go found your own nation!"

The irony being, religous oppression is what loaded up alot of people in a sailing ship called the "Mayflower" which landed at Plymouth rock. Which begs the question, in terms of religion, has our nation become that which our forebearers fled from?
