I put ID's theory of history religion and thought process with a nice guy who made deliveries to my office. He was a nice guy but was undereducated and easily fooled into believing the least believeable conspiracy theory. Aside from the 9/11 towers/pentagon nonsense, he believed(s) that there are planes flying in patterns over cities putting out heavy metal into the air. I blew that theory out of the water by simply stating "Don't the people that are trying to poison us have to breath too?" he just huffed and told me I just dont get it. Sadly, ID falls into this category of crazy conspiracy nut for me. All logic circuits are gone. repeating the rubbish is on. No cure no help unless he is willing to stop drinking the grape flavored sugar water solution In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Skill, you asked "why would anyone with any sense want to live in Utah". I answer that the skiing can be really good! Salt Lake City, Utah is a spectacular city--my brother and his extended family live there. I have been out there in the spring and winter and thoroughly enjoyed both. People are nice, the economy is solid and my niece has a phenomenal job at Deer Valley Ski Resort. If it wasn't for my parents still being alive and my wife/I having spectacular jobs, I'd move there in a heartbeat Please stop bashing Utah. Thank you. |

1 reason not to: ID, I like it when you resort to ad hominem attacks, you show your intellect most clearly. |

“My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?†― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

LOL, I believe Barton. You believe in a mythical deity. At least you are consistent. |

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. Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

Dark would be without meaning.~C. S. Lewis That quote goes on too long, because "if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures" end of story. |

Dark would be without meaning.~C. S. Lewis It's proof of a universe with life in it, nothing more. To my mind "I exist therefore God" is a non-sequitur (Logic. an inference or a conclusion that does not follow from the premises). The ontological argument (that, to some degree, appears to inform C.S. Lewis) has some wonderful parodies (I particularly like the "no devil" parody). I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man created he him. 2 And Man gave unto God a multitude of names,that he might be Lord of all the earth when it was suited to Man 3 And on the seven millionth day Man rested and did lean heavily on his God and saw that it was good. 4 And Man formed Aqualung of the dust of the ground, and a host of others likened unto his kind. 5 And these lesser men were cast into the void; And some were burned, and some were put apart from their kind. 6 And Man became the God that he had created and with his miracles did rule over all the earth. 7 But as all these things came to pass, the Spirit that did cause man to create his God lived on within all men: even within Aqualung. 8 And man saw it not. 9 But for Christ's sake he'd better start looking. ~Ian Anderson Janice |

Plenty of people voted for Obama. Still don't make him a good President. Including the majority of Catholics despite what their bishops said. The polls shows that 50% of voters who identified themselves as Catholics voted for Obama, and 48% for Republican nominee Mitt Romney. source I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |
