Atheism requires as much faith as religion?

You know he hasn't been doing those laps around that donut with his feet. Too big. He has been doing it with his mind in his spare time.
That little fatty acid ring and the Higg's boson in Hiding's lab.
I wonder...
Could IANS have made that final lap and then ran into God? Or a piece of him, anyhow? Right there on his donut. The resultant phase shifts sent Hiding further into the twilight zone, and IANS only God knows where?

That is the most ignorant goddamn bullshit that you have put out, in a day or so.
The man broke no laws, in the country that he was in. IT IS THAT FU[KING SIMPLE. No one, including mussies, can murder, because they are offended. IT IS THAT FU[KING SIMPLE.

I really didn’t think you were that stupid…

When did I ever say he broke any FU[KING laws in the country he was in?(I do love to see meltdown every now and again). I said he was RESPONSIBLE for making that film. Please LOOK UP the meaning of the word responsible.

It certainly wasn’t me who is responsible for making that film, it probably wasn’t you. It was not any god and it was not joe bloggs in the next town. He made the film, he edited the film (to be deliberately offensive) he is responsible for making it, no one else, just him. It does not matter if he is American or the man from Mars, he made the film, he is responsible for making the film.

That does not excuse murder no matter what the provocation but it does not distract from the fact that HE IS RESPONSIBLE for making and releasing that film.

Oh look at that we can all post in capitals

Just to be clear. Naked women appeal to other women as well or am I the only one?

I have to admit that a naked female body is considerably more attractive to look at than a naked male body.

But in a darkened room who is considering aesthetics?

No kidding. My friends mean the religious here, btw.

""These groundbreaking discoveries have completely changed our view of the development and cellular specialisation. We now understand that the mature cell does not have to be confined forever to its specialised state," the Nobel Assembly said in a statement following the announcement."

Looks like evolution could have been on the fast track. A certain mind over matter aspect to force adaptation without having to wait for random mutations.

The law has nothing to do with it.

Freedom of speech exists, yes, but one must excercise it with discretion.

Think of the blade falling the other way - how many Muslims burnt the American flag after 9/11? It is a statment they made, and they are free to make it.

Just because they MAY make it, does not mean that they SHOULD. I find the film as disgusting as I found the flag burning after 9/11.

People must excercise common sense. If I am white, going to the black part of town and burning a Malcolm X/ Nelson Mandela poster will probably get me beaten up.

Yes, the boy in question has a RIGHT to air his views, even if it is supremacist BS. But we have to accept that our views may incite anger and in some cases, rage.

Just because there is no law against flicking boogers in a restaurant, is no reason to start doing so.

A politician should not let his personal beliefs, beliefs that are not founded on anything but the bible, affect his behavior. It is even more ridiculous that he sits on the science committee. Now, it would be one thing if he had anything of substance with which to back up those claims, but he doesn't, and you and I both know it. If he had any legitimate evidence to back up his claims, I would have no problem with it. He is coming from the same place that all science deniers do - willful ignorance inspired by their religion and their need to believe in god.

You have no idea how emotion based your logic is.

Science has flourished under Christianity. Almost non-existent under pagan civilizations such as Rome. Explain that.

That’s fine by me.

But the point is that not many of them are over there, they are mostly in their own country with their own laws.

Anyway talking about nutter groups it does not always work that way does it? NORAID were never shown the wrath of US attitude were they? Oh wait a minute they were catholic so it’s was OK for them to finance murder – right?

Anyone who doesn't "believe" in evolution doesn't understand science. Period. So a politician who is on a committee for Science and Technology who doesn't understand science is dangerous. Where do you think such an uninformed, ignorant man is going to take your good country?
Do you believe that kind of man is the right person for the job? Will he be able to push reforms so that you can compete with China?

He's a district congressman for the state of Georgia, right?

I don't think he's going to China any time soon....

There are plenty of scientists out there that don't think evolution happened OR happened the way we think we know it did.
He just happens to be a politician, too.

I don't like when people burn the American Flag, but I don't murder people over it.

Agreed. Disgusting as it may have been; it cannot justify violence.

I strongly disagree with you, here. Feeling an emotions is normal, acting on it, in an unjustified/illegal way, is not.

Bad example. Health laws surely are in place for that!

I hate the KKK, but if I tried to take away their rights and succeed, I can be sure of one thing; One day, someone will take away my rights.

I would love to take away, or worse, the right of the westboro baptist church. My family has a long history of serving our country and those assholes and the wbc deserve to be __________ But I cannot. My service was to ensure that all of us are as free as possible. I cannot justify harming even the lowest scum for exercising their rights.

Tomorrow, Columbus Day is observed in some places in the U.S. In California, public offices are closed.
So here's the question: Should Columbus Day be recognized? Were he and his explorers good people who should be celebrated today? Were there good or bad consequences from their discovery/colonization?

I'd say he & his explorers were good for us, who knows if they were "good people".
But yes, we should celebrate his accomplishment & bravery.
America came out of it.
Didn't work out to well for the injuns though
