The middle east is an entirely different culture and views torture differently than we do...although not TOO differently, considering gitmo and waterboarding.

The taliban are not in government in any of the countries I mentioned. In many cases they are duly elected officials representing the people of their country.

GodDAMN, how did you get all that ignorance into such a short post?

It was patient zero, and the whole thing was a myth. He was a steward. Not one medical authority buys the story, since we have found strains of HIV in this country dating back to the 50's.

SIV was presumed to have been introduced to humans through consumption of undercooked simian flesh. It mutated into HIV. That's probably a blow to your bestiality fantasies.

LOL, another bunch of crap. Your ignorance of other religions is sad. Which religion do you erroneously believe "worships" cows?

I would believe it is in India, but not sure which religion, since I believe they have about 55,000 gods in India alone.

I'm not big on any religion, to me they can all be no different then a club, even the christian one.

Without God, they are all worthless.

I draw the line when the conspiracy guys say the government set up the world trade center. I've even heard the gov set jp sandy hook, it is almost like they are trying to speed up Bible prophecy.
Before the night God woke me up, I never thougbt about any of this stuff, and would have NEVER had watched 10 mins of a Hovind vid.
I also don't agree with statements Hovind makes about pre -marriage sex.
I realize God sees it the very same as He views adultery, but Hovind acts as if people have done that, that there is not alot of hope for their marriage.
I have friends who have dismissed hovind all together, but I do believe in creation, as explained in the bible, and will not take the word from some nut on the internet who says there is no hell, no soul, etc.
Plus many laugh at hovind and call him and all who watch him an idiot, but NEVER have any answers of the own.
Their biggest one is "you just don't understand the process stupid "
Lol

Do you mind terribly if I ask you whether or not you've even read Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" or whether or not you've taken a class on Evolutionary Biology?
I'm pleasantly surprised that you don't subscribe to the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11, but if you're subscribing to Hovind's other assertions regarding the NWO, cures for cancer, and the sinister implications of the Great Pyramid, then all I can say is that I fear you've entered Hovind's world of paranoia which is severely detached from reality.
I'm sure that it's been pointed out to you before that a "literal" interpretation of "Genesis" effectively negates several "proven" branches of science such as Biology, Chemistry, Geology, and Astronomy.
Many HAVE answered Hovind's assertions and proven that they're utterly nonsensical, it's just that Hovind--and those who believe him--refuse to accept the evidence they're given.

One doesn't have to be "big" on any of them to learn facts about them. And when you don't have facts, acting like you do is dishonest. There is no religion that "worships" cows.

Most religions, though not all, do have one or more Gods. They just don't have your way of perceiving Deity.

The liberal courts didn't "discover" it in the constitution until the 1970's. The constitution was written in the mid 1770,s and not adopted until the 1780's, so what history are you referring to. The history you make up for your own convenience?

did you know the constitution was written on market st in philadelphia?

how cool is that?

Women "stayed home where they belonged"? My, how neanderthal. My mother worked most of her adult life, mostly as a teacher. She and my father worked AND raised a family with 7 kids.
The media coverage of AIDS was abysmal; very little useful info was given out in the press. Look at you; you never even had enough data to learn how to spell it correctly.
I'm 54. You're what...12?

What is a festering cesspool of bile? Doesn't sound good.

Neanderthal? No, that is what women USED to do before they felt the need to keep up with the Jonses.

Seven kids? How did your mother work and take care of 9 people? My heart bleeds for her. I don't know if that is even possible.

The media coverage of aides was not abysmal. I followed it pretty closely. I am assuming you have been exposed to it. You are one of the lucky ones, IF you don't have it.

How could I be 12 if I know so much?

I am assuming you are catholic, because it was mainly catholics who had so many kids.

You were probably the middle child.

Yea it would. Those who would worship a golden calf, are no different then the Hindu's that worship /consider sacred a live calf.

Really no different then many who claim to be christian, but when asked about why they feel like they will go to heaven, and what makes them worthy of such, they start telling you about the time they were baptized, or what denomination they go to, or I'm a good person.

Many worship the creation, instead of the creator.

I just believe Hovind is right about how the earth and people were created, and all other things he talks about, if it is backed up by the bible.

I "as a christian " must either believe in Gods word, or it is up to me to pick and choose what is and what is not inspired.

I believe true science only backs up biblical truths.

People in India don't necessarily "worship" cows but the cow is considered a sacred animal in the Hindu religion.
In Hinduism all animals are believed to possess souls which may "house" or otherwise contain the presence of the Divine.
Why the special status for cows? Probably because for a largely rural and agricultural society cows--and bulls--were necessary animals; people depended on them for the giving of milk, plowing of fields, and using their dung for fuel and fertilizer
It is true that Mahatma Gandhi said he "worshiped" the cow and would defend its "worship," but considering this within the context of the Hindu religion it's not as unusual as it might seem.

You state that you're "not big on any religion," yet you've opted for fundamentalist Christianity. That statement seems to be a direct contradiction of your professed beliefs.
You seem to object to polytheistic religions but have seemingly ignored or not noticed the concept of the "Holy Trinity" in Christianity. A concept which some theologians and philosophers might argue classifies Christianity as more a polytheistic religion than a monotheistic one.
