Yet I read every word that Hans wrote, that Dee wrote, and you wrote.

Exactly, Mike. What gets some folks particularly up-in-arms is when
someone points out the obvious contradictions in their religious
beliefs.

For example, it's interesting to note the reactions of those who insist
that every word of the Bible is literally true when you point out that
the two creation stories in Genesis contradict each other. Or that
Christ's message of nonviolence is largely ignored by modern
'Christians'...

Or what if someone's religion requires that they question and analyze
religious belief systems? And that contradictions be pointed out?

The problem that quite a few of us have with 'intelligent design' (aka
"creationism in a cheap tuxedo") is that it is an attempt by certain
people to have their *religious* beliefs not only taught in public
schools, but taught as *science*, not religion.

Seems to be the same folk that believe that depriving others of their

That is because they are "religious" but they aren't strictly Christians.

A religion of heretics? Sounds like a Frank Herbert type of thing.

Do you want to know the big problem IMO? This "intelligent design"
thing is promoted by some religious groups as an alternative "scientific
approach. It is in all their arguments, it is how they promote the concept.

But that isn't why they want it there. They want it there because they
want to put in what they believe, ie the 6 day creation thing in 4004
b.c. No world that always existed, no world created by any other god, no
world on a turtle, with turtles all the way down.

Lying for God.

Quite frankly Brian, in this respect you are *exactly* like him. I am
not trying to discredit you, and have no need to.

Quite frankly, Mike, you cut my direct quotations of Hans, Dee, and
youself, then reiterate that like your "supposed" substandard employee
I don't know the subject at hand.

Why cut quotes of yourself if I don't have a handle on the subject
matter?

nettiquite.

Quitefine.

Did this employee have a name? Hi!

Sure did. I'd prefer not to out him on the net though. I've got no need
to dissemble for newsgroup points.

How convenient.

Is it Friday? I smell fish.


That reminds me, I have a nice piece of salmon in the freezer that
sounds pretty good for dinner....

Good Catholic tradition.

I think it's obvious that Jim absolutely despises fundies. But only
Christian fundies. Where never is heard a discouraging word about
fundy Jews or Moslems.

Yep. Such as the fundamentalist who staps on some dynamite and
deprives others of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Depends on what you mean by "magic"...

You are quoting Dee, attributing Hans...

Magic?

No magic. He quoted me and attributed me.


You are correct.

That's right, Brian. All fundamentalists are potentially dangerous.
Nothing wrong with faith unless it is so encompassing that you are so
"faithful" that you are willing to kill those who disagree with you and
that fundamental faith.

There is no voodoo or magic associated with RF

Dee tends to think there is. Mike chimed in. Now you reneg on the
concept. They should "feel" suckered.

I have to disagree with you on this. Dee is nothing like Steve in her
posting manners, and I cannot comment on her "prettiness" since I've
only seen a photo of Steve.

I think she is much more like Jim; quick to cut off discussion when her
logic fails.


No, I simply make every effort not to get involved in the back and forth
arguments that many engage in. No one is going to change any one else's
opinions and since the discussions far too often deteriorate into
pointless
bickering and name calling, I choose not to participate in such.

Fair enough.
