YOU ARE DENSE ENOUGH TO BE A DEMON-POSSESSED, ILLITERATE MORON!!!

I saw your comment about MLK. Even though I don?t agree with his doctrines in religion, you are correct. He promoted ? turn the other cheek? His heart was in the right place, that?s for sure.

The term "New Atheist". There is no such thing, atheism has one belief, one tenet if you want. For something to be new it needs to change but it hasn't.

Gotta go. Feel free to have the last word.

Best if you are done with me, then.

And all too often, there still might not be agreement.

And few gypsies.

I didn't say it came by an act of will.

I'll tell you who I am: I am one who has himself suffered the stultifying consequences of this wishful thinking. More importantly, I am one who is capable of the obvious moral insight that those Christians who persecute others, such as I've mentioned in the thread to which you are replying,

In the end, Gods opinion is the only one that will count.

I simply don't see the need to 'discipline' a child with rape and murder. I think the "Father" title for God is fanciful and sentimental.

You believe what other people have told YOU. Many can see how false it is. Sorry you cannot.

No. Again, I dont have to respect laws that go directly against my religious convictions. This is reason number one why I dont live in places like Canada, China or Pakistan for example. If I feel the law has not been just or has come into direct conflict with practicing my faith I will challenge that, its why we have courts, resolutions, policies, counsel etc.

This isn't actually in favor of religious freedom though. Just over his treatment by the local civil rights board.

My understanding is the Romans mass murdered them. The Jews who survived were the ones who fled.
