    Whitewashing hell doesn't contribute in any way. No religion has a hell that is tolerable. If there is a hell, it's seriously bad.

    If we don't understand what something is "based on", it hits me as nonsense to start concocting some answer for which there can never be any evidentiary support.

    If we want to know how first life came about, we should study that. I know we can't all do that - there are lots of things that require serious effort, expense and time. So, we have a framework for people to specialize in answering such questions while still getting food, etc.

    Not enough evidence in any scenario for any typical Islam Christiananality pedophile mentality super ego due to self incrimination with avoidance-acceptance in compulsive-obsessive homicidal sociopsychopathic human farming techniques being a liberal Christian Nation of the all too dang lily brilliant white to maintain no equal justice under law.

    Way to go ! Maybe not as educationally deficient from an Islam-Christiananality liberal marriage super ego as it seems, but then again could be putting on a patriot act as those burning Bush's & their SS, Rehnquist's immaculate drug conception supreme swastika up Uranus court, the Fuhrer's brainwashing inquisition, & the Federal Lynching churchstate of hate KKK cops.

    Stating a claim "The entire purpose of life is to reproduce" and backing that claim up are two different things.

    Repeating that claim - is not proof of claim. Saying "The hilarious part is that you don't see it" is not proof of claim.

    Reproduction is something humans do. So is blinking and eating.. Does this mean the entire purpose of life is blinking and eating ?

    What a nonsense argument to make. No one here can claim the purpose of life is to die without reproduction. The entire purpose of life is to reproduce. It's as simple as that. It surely isn't to live in accordance with some 2,000 year old tenets of a war god.

    The liberal Christians I have seen are much better Christians than the conservative Christians I have seen.

    What is nonsense is you claiming that me stating that you did not make an argument .. is nonsense. LOL.

    An argument consists of 2 things 1) statement of claim 2) evidence or rational justification that proves that this claim is true.

    All you had done is (1) - stated your claim. You had given no justification for why that claim is true.

    Now you state "no one can claim the purpose of life is to die without reproduction" essentially saying "you can't prove otherwise".

    This is also nonsense as lack of being able to prove a claim untrue is not proof of claim. Just because you can not prove the core of the moon around Pluto is not made of green cheese .. does not make the claim "the moon is made of green cheese" true.

    It is as simple as that ... regardless of what some war God may think.

    Besides codify protections of nasty religious beliefs into law, as he has already done in Indiana?

    You don't know much about Pence, I guess.

    You mean such as protections for people to act religiously in their businesses? What is wrong with that?

    What "nasty" religious beliefs is Pence being accused of having codified into Indiana State law?
    I believe I shouldn't kill, with the exception of self defense.
    I also believe I shouldn't steal, with no exceptions.
    Although I don't believe in any conscious, thinking, immortal, Godlike existence, the humans who long ago used such as the means of controlling the masses weren't all wrong about moral right and wrong needs to assure peaceful societies, nor did our founders as evident by exegesis of the 1st amendment. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ..."

    So you do or do not believe that people should be free to act religiously in their businesses?

    That might depend on what you mean by 'act'.
