Some of the other beliefs do not feel the need to push beliefs down peoples throat.

It would be REALLY nice if the same courtesy was extended, but it is not expected from the Abrahamic faiths.


I think I have always extended that courtesy. Although not shy about expressing my own beliefs, I don't recall ever having called anybody down for not accepting them as their own.

But i read you insisting that it be in schools and the government.

More from the Guardian on funding to campaign against wind farms in the USA.

Media campaign against windfarms funded by anonymous conservatives

Secretive funding network channelled millions to stop state governments moving towards renewable energy

Disgusting.

The low hanging fruit was picked and tossed into the Mariana Trench.

Self-picking fruit?

I missed the harvest, should I be giving thanks?

Dear ID:

The BRAINIACs Say There Is No GOD.

The BRAINIACs Rule SETiVille.

They Are Chewing You Up Like A Cat Toy.

Why The Masohism? Quit Being Sadistic To YourSelf.

IGNORE Say: GOD Is IGNORING All But The Atheists.

TRANSLATION:
"The intelligent educated people say there is no God.

Lots of intelligent educated people post here on seti because it attracts lots of people who like science and computers.

They are showing you the error of ways very concisely using facts and real information.

Why are you persisting in your folly? It is making you look bad and is hurting you?

Ignore says: The atheists understand the true nature of God."

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.~C. S. Lewis

I encourage you to listen if you will not read it.



And I still say a quote by a human does not mean its proof. There are plenty of quotes by humans who say the opposite.

Plenty of people voted for Obama. Still don't make him a good President.

The fact there is a universe with the right rules in it tuned for life is proof of God.

True history, not revisionist history.

David Barton is not a credible source. He has been slammed by actual historians for his inaccuracies and for being a revisionist.

His book has even been withdrawn from print for being full of errors and misleading.


I consider the source and I'm not talking about Barton.

Why post a link to him then?

LOL, I believe Barton.

But he's a proven liar.

Sadly I don't think they'd have Es - on two grounds: she's too sensible, and she's woman.

(There is a third ground, she's probably far too young as most recent Popes have been knocking on in years.)

I think I'd make a jolly good pope.

Hell isn't a lake of fire. It's the absence of God for eternity.

I feel real bad for you and would like to help. It's sad that you don't believe.

The bible is quite clear on what hell is.

I am aware you feel bad for me. I've come across your kind many times before. You simply cannot see how your belief is a terrible thing that stops you living a truly moral life. You can't be truly moral because you are following a set of rules without really understanding what it is all about. You only care about what comes in the next life, so you don't put the effort you should into making this world a good place.

You judge others, and you presume to think you have all the correct answers. You are filled with hate for anything you don't understand or fear and then you hide behind a book written nearly 2000 years ago without even reading it properly.

If you really were like Jesus, you would be spending time with the outcasts of society and helping them just like he did instead of hating them and judging them.

It is bad luck to mess with crazy people.

True, true. I should know that.

But I really do feel so sorry for him. :((

I really do. He seems so lost and fragile.


Welllllll, thank you. However, Skildude and betreger are in more need of your help then I am. LOL!

No.

You really don't have a clue what you are talking about most of the time...and you believe all sorts of weird stuff that is just plain wrong. That article you posted earlier was so wrong in so many places I didn't even know where to start.

Your world must be very frightening.

All of this is just accusations. Unfounded. None of you have the least bit of proof.

http://articles.latimes.com/2013/feb/09/local/la-me-church-cemetery-fund-20130210
Cardinal Mahony used cemetery money to pay sex abuse settlement

The Archdiocese of L.A. took $115 million from its cemeteries' maintenance fund in 2007, nearly depleting it. The move seems legal, but it was not announced, and relatives of the dead were not told.

Pressed to come up with hundreds of millions of dollars to settle clergy sex abuse lawsuits, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony turned to one group of Catholics whose faith could not be shaken: the dead.

Under his leadership in 2007, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles quietly appropriated $115 million from a cemetery maintenance fund and used it to help pay a landmark settlement with molestation victims.

The church did not inform relatives of the deceased that it had taken the money, which amounted to 88% of the fund. Families of those buried in church-owned cemeteries and interred in its mausoleums have contributed to a dedicated account for the perpetual care of graves, crypts and grounds since the 1890s.

Mahony and other church officials also did not mention the cemetery fund in numerous public statements about how the archdiocese planned to cover the $660-million abuse settlement. In detailed presentations to parish groups, the cardinal and his aides said they had cashed in substantial investments to pay the settlement, but they did not disclose that the main asset liquidated was cemetery money.

May he burn in hell with each day bringing more pain than the last.

It is a shame I don't believe in hell.

LOL! Try being smart, not a smarta$$.

Is this supposed to be answer? I don't have to try to be smart. I am well aware I am smart. Anyone's opinion here on my intelligence is irrelevant. Especially yours.



Being Christian makes me BETTER at being moral.

Do you genuinely believe that? It concerns me every time I hear someone claim that the only reason they are moral is because they believe in God.

Being moral should be based on compassion for others and empathy.
Not because a book translated from ancient Aramaic to Latin and finally to English (with lots of mistakes made in between) tells you so.

All of us have freewill not to be moral. You are a very good example of that FACT.

How so? Because I came to the conclusion that we should help the sick and needy, that we should treat others as we would be treated? That I believe that none of us are in a position to judge someone else?

Yes, I can see how far my moral code is from yours.


God is Three in One. I don't care if you belive that. I do. God, Holy Spirit and Christ makes up the three. So any quote from the Bible comes from Christ Himself.

You know that stuff is made up right? By people. By people who were trying to use it to gain power and keep it.


LOL! BAWahahahahahahah! Your excuses are lame and a damn good reflection of your ignorance of the subject. Over the years my dog made many advancements of dumping in the neighbors yard in place of mine.

This really is a nasty and very unChristian post. Do you really think some vile sentiments make Christians look like good decent people? You are quite a disgrace..and a hypocrite. Right now you are communicating your ideas, which really are small minded and mean spirted on a computer. A computer you would not have it it weren't for the work of a man named Allan Turing.

He was gay. You owe him.

Someone had to be distractracted and burdened with childrearing in order to bring you fool butt into this world and you show your appreciation by calling it a distractracted and burdened? How magnanimous of you!!!

More Christian insults? I won't reply in kind. I shall turn the other cheek. Someone once said that you know. He said "turn the other cheek". Of course as I haven't even personally insulted you, you don't really have a reason to turn the other cheek. You are just being petty and nasty.

Yes, childrearing is a burden. Do you know the definition of a burden? Childrearing takes an enormous amount of time and effort. You should thank your mother, for clearly you are obvious to all the sacrifices she made for you sake and seem to think that just your presence is gift to the world enough to make up for it.

Besides, homosexuality is found in other species!LOL! No they go through a homosexual phase before they become fully mature. it seems you are not yet fully mature. See what gerbilling has done to the animal kingdom? ;-)

Please, please, please stop saying silly things. Its painful and it really does make you look bad. I am trying so hard to help you, meet me halfway.


She/He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
~Benjamin Franklin

What a strangely irrelevant quote.

...

He has already stated, about a month ago, how he differs with you (or others) on the usage of these two words.
Do you hope to learn something from him or he from you? If not, you are responding ... why?

For several reasons.
1. I can talk to whoever I feel like. It is an open forum isn't it?
2. I genuinely am curious about his thought processes.
3. I am actually concerned about him and want to help him
4. He has the vote. Don't we have a duty to America to educate people like this seeing as their school system clearly hasn't?

Pope resigns
Claims it is due to old age, but I suspect it has more to do with him covering up the kiddy fiddling scandal.
