am i the only one who sees the massive amount of double-talk in the above posts? perhaps y'all are having a problem with the term atheist, so i'll break it down for you. "atheism", meaning without god. this is not merely a matter of doubt but of decision and certainty. maybe you're unsure of...

so we come to the difference between mere doubt and outright denial. when you set yourself in opposition against the religious, declaring that their fairy tale does not exist, you become the active atheist and this requires faith. the statement is made, "god(s) exists". it needs no proof...

the author of this bit of self-indulgence might be said to be guilty of the sin of pride and perhaps the error of ignorant simplicity. while everything said, even the endlessly arrogant narrative of his outwitting the screenwriter's devices, makes perfect sense, he misses the point entirely...

you've reached the true heart of the matter and don't even realize it. almost without exception, all those who are promoting these conspiracy theories are targeting a group of people who have one thing in common. they can be considered to be on the enemies list of the conspiracy theorists...

.....pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'cause there's bugger all down here on earth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk sorry, it just had to be done.

we've been undergoing just such a shift for the better part of the last century. unluckily, we've been headed in the wrong direction. since the days of fdr, we've begun to see government more and more as an institution designed to take care of the people instead of merely protecting them. the...

in typical blind partisan style, you first attempt to redefine a perfectly acceptable term and then simply claim that it really makes no difference anyway. the only claim that can be made for the other side is that state enforced charity, otherwise known as the forceful theft of the people's...

much like proving that god doesn't exist, providing proof of a lack of a conspiracy is pretty much impossible. i suppose that's why we still have folks like 7f dishing out their speculations on jfk's assassination after nearly fifty years. my aversion to all these conspiracy theories is based...

let's see now..... if i remember correctly (and i do), the vote for that ridiculous bit of legislation was just about as bi-partisan as it gets and it has since been extended by a regime controlled almost exclusively by the left. if you don't consider the wholesale theft of the property of...

...through the use of force and the limiting of liberty. i figured i ought to fix that for you.

it's nice to see that you've come so far, now just take that next leap and realize the most simple truth of the matter. once you've burrowed through all the conspiracy bullshit and come out on the other side, you start to understand that it was SNAFU and i think we all know what that acronym...

that's odd. when i click on it it takes me to a paper comparing the charitable donations of major nations. it's a simple little pdf file that's easily read by adobe reader. perhaps it's there and you just don't like what it has to say.

well that was cute. so you're basing your opinion on a survey with some unspecified methodology, that doesn't even tell what sort of donations they're talking about. why don't we get back to what i was talking about and back it with some real comparisons. follow this link -...

how can you equate these things? you choose to drive a car and must prove your responsibility before being allowed that privilege. you are only forced to purchase home owner's insurance if someone else owns the title to your property. it is a guarantee of their investment. no one is forcing...

read again and check again. when you include government sponsored donations we may not be at the top, but the donations of the people themselves outstrip our nearest competitor by almost two to one. this is what is called charity, not the forced contributions of a subservient people. i...

by your statements and your general stance it appears you don't believe people willingly do this without the use of force, but that just isn't the case. of course there are plenty of stingy little greedy guts out there, some are rich and some are poor, and they will always be there. there are...

here you go: as you can see, extortion (to extort) certainly includes the abuse of authority, but doesn't require that authority be used. is this more of your invisible hair splitting?

of course it's magic. it's also magic that pays for the extensive government bureaucracy needed to oversee those magically appearing funds. like all magic, it's really a matter of misdirection. just don't tell that to the rubes.

do you realize how inane this sounds? you have a system that hands control of medical care over to government, blame the people in government for all that is wrong with it, and then try to claim that it isn't the system that's to blame. you've just blamed government and government is the...

shockingly, i find myself at least partially in agreement with you. while you may characterize legislation against various means of abortion as government sticking its nose into a woman's uterus, i can't help but see it as the protection of those who are incapable of protecting themselves and...
