Ever work at a rest home and see people point, raise their arms and claim they see their relatives?
Dementia. How does that work?

This was a case of confirmation bias.A miracle! Praise Alzheimers!
True there have been many atrocities in the name of what is called the lord our savior. I mean look at witchcraft and the Spanish inquisition. This doesn't change the overall core belief in intelligent design. People will always have a meager little brain that constantly needs developed.
Get with it or turn to dust I say. Like I said. I have read and seen many things that support what I believe to be intelligent design. No damn secular is going to change my mind. I simply refuse to live life going down the wrong path to nothing but a dead end when I see intelligent design everyday.
Perhaps when you and everyone else gets older. Perhaps when you are in the rest home. Who knows.

You mean this one?Except bacteria from meteorites found in the antarctic.
Think you just answered your own question. "worship as they please", not "worship as I see fit".. Which is what they were fleeing from.You better go back and study history. The people that came here, came here to escape religious prosecution to worship as they pleased. And believe me, they weren't even like the Mennonites you see today. Far, far worse.
You can follow whatever path you want, just keep your religion to yourself and church.True there have been many atrocities in the name of what is called the lord our savior.

Fucking dementia, how does it work?
It's no wonder why so many foreigners like Obama. I mean after all, Obama attended a church with a Quasi-pastor Jeremiah Wright.
If you are talking about the Pilgrims, they came here to set up a puritanical theocracy after getting their obnoxious, regicidal asses thrown out of every respectable nation in Europe. Not that there's anything wrong with regicide but the Pilgrims were major dicks about everything. "Hurray, we're free to do as we please! Let's hang us some witches!"You better go back and study history. The people that came here, came here to escape religious prosecution to worship as they pleased.

Apparently some of that special "only found in the bible" morality ran ahead of the pilgrims and got to the natives, somehow. Only possible explanation.The Natives probably should have let them starve. Their Pagan beliefs were not that way though.

you'll never convince binary thinkers otherwise. 2 paths = Gawd or Hell/sin.
This kind of argument works well among the indoctrinated. It's simple and effective. Anything that requires more thinking = hell.
I think you're actually giving them too much credit, they're not even binary, as you see they think they are on the correct path. You actually hit it right on the head, they actually can't even fathom what's beyond their own paths, as they're simply not capable of actual thought on that level and so they just dismiss it and justify doing so in their usual ways. No matter what horrible shit they think and do, they are still righteous just because they believe in God. There is only one path in their minds and they are on it.
This isn't true of all Christians/religious people, its just certain ones, that I think pretty much everyone has had experience with and can be seen very clearly in the OP and some other posters on here.
And also you can tell the intellectual dishonesty in their arguments. Notice how everything is a "culture war" now? Yet they're the peaceful ones and its Muslims and atheists that are the warmongers? Nevermind the millenia of them literally waging wars and committing atrocities in their lord's name.
This is simply a matter of reversed causality. We exist in the only universe that could produce us, the universe does not exist simply to create us. Anyone thinking otherwise grossly overstate the importance of humanity in the grand scheme of things.http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/j...-eventually-catch-gods-word?hl=1&noRedirect=1
What's say you? Are you, the atheist so bold to proclaim that you know the writer of all these books?
... Our ecosystem works together in perfect harmony. This is not randomness or something from nothing.
Because nothing can live in a vacuum.
Five bald assertions in a single post.Look, 1 there is a rhyme and a reason for everything. 2 Everything has a form of balance. 3 Our ecosystem works together in perfect harmony. This is not randomness or something from nothing. Common sense tells me this. 4 Everything has a purpose. 5 We are here to learn. This is school. What if I learned everything there was to learn, invented everything there was to invent and cured every disease there was to cure? Then what? Eat, sleep, fuck and just live? Even in heaven (if you believe in it) you are learning. I've read you learn faster in this world then the next.
By the time you have reached this sentence your heart will have beat about 60 times coursing through 60,000 miles of arteries, veins, and capillaries. How is this randomness? What or who set the ball rolling?
Yeah, the orderly fashion of things....
