    I see you have that straw man/lying problem still.

    I want anyone and everyone to respond to this. And I have responded to all of them posted to me. Where have I told people to post as I like?

    When someone is angry it is easy to point out by a Christian or non-Christian. And you are angry. No big deal. It happens to everyone now and then. But it happens to God bashers more. Just look at your posts in this thread. Try Xanax since you do not believe in prayer.

    Which only proves that the heathen can see the light and repent. Even you have that chance. Take advantage of it.

    You obviously do believe in prayer but you're still filled with anger, prejudice , and hate...don't you try to pray-it-away ? Or didn't it work?

    There you go. Blame someone else for the irrational rage and anger displayed by those who disagree with me. I take it you are also one of them given your demeanor and lies. Instead of offering your lame psyche 101 analysis, prove what you have just said about me.

    You are entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it usually is. Thanks for making my point about the Godless.

    It's about both. Deal with it.

    Seems like a statement of the obvious. I mean America is (depending on the poll you trust) 80% self-identified Christian. So this is no surprise to me.

    I see you're desperate for relevance an attention. Hence the lies.

    http://atheism.about.com/od/godlessamericaamericans/p/GodlessRight.htm

    Godless Liberals are Elitist & Arrogant:

    Just as common as the use of "godless" and "communist" as political smears is the label "elitist." Conservatives have long attacked liberals as "elitist" to convince average Americans that liberals have nothing in common with them. The truth is that the label "elitist" would apply equally to some conservatives as well as some liberals. There is nothing about being godless which makes a person is more elitist or arrogant; if anything, claiming to know what God wants is a sign of arrogance.

    Godless Liberals are Secularists, Opposed to Religious Liberty:

    The Christian Right opposes secularism and regards it as one of modernity's greatest evils, so it's only natural that they use it as a smear against liberals, godless or otherwise. Liberals are generally secularists, and godless liberals particularly so, because secularism is so important to modern society. Secularism simply means having civil institutions which are independent of ecclesiastical control. The opposite of secularism and secular government is some form of theocracy.

    Godless Liberals are Anti-American:

    A popular attack on godless atheists is that they are anti-American. This derives in part from the assumption that true American patriotism is impossible without also being a True Christian - America is a Christian Nation, after all - and in part from the traditional assumption that communists are also anti-American. If godless atheists are anti-America, then godless liberals must be as well. The falsehood of this is obvious given just how false all the premises necessarily are.

    Godless Liberals are Anti-Christian:

    Many atheists spend a great deal of time with the doctrines and beliefs which are specific to Christianity or, at the very least, to traditional forms of Western monotheism. Some atheists are indeed vehemently anti-Christian, but only insofar as they oppose religion generally - Christianity is simply the most relevant religion in their social context. This isn't much of a complaint against atheists, though, unless it can be shown that Christianity should be exempted from such attacks.

    Godless Liberals are Anti-Religion:

    For people who see their god or their religion as the source of all order and morality, godless liberalism may be treated as impossible or even as a threat. The fact that godless liberals do not derive their political positions from religious doctrine does not make them anti-religious, though. They may personally be anti-religion, but politically they may not be - indeed, they may have no problem making common cause with religious liberals.

    Godless Liberalism is an anti-Christian Religion:

    Alongside accusing godless liberals of being anti-religion, conservatives accuse it of also being a religion that opposes Christianity. Being an atheist isn't incompatible with belonging to a religion, but atheism itself doesn't qualify as a religion. Liberalism is a political philosophy which lacks all the basic characteristics of a religion and is no more religious than conservatism - and possibly less so. Godless liberalism is not a religion and there is no church of godless liberalism.

    Godless Liberals Undermine Moral Values with Godless Evolution:

    A popular target for conservatives is evolutionary science, which they say undermines traditional religious faith and morality. They say evolution is incompatible with Christian beliefs and are convinced that teaching evolution will destroy Christianity. Liberals who support teaching science in public schools are accused of being godless and anti-Christian. The science of evolution is godless, but it's not a religion, not incompatible with morality, and not anti-Christian. Read More...

    Godless Liberalism, Traditional Bigotry, and Christian Privilege:

    Atheists don't exist in large numbers in America and aren't a very powerful interest group in American politics. Atheists can be found in both liberal and conservative political movements; liberals overall are primarily theistic and Christian, not atheists. Neither the godless nor godless liberals have by themselves any significant impact on politics, culture, or society. Because of all this and more, we have to ask why conservatives have become so obsessed with attacking "godless liberals."

    God is everythign that was, will be or is... God is the interconnectedness of it all, thus we are all a part of God, it's an illusion that God is separate from us

    OK....I admit I made a mistake.

    The reason I made this mistake is that 95% of Christian Religious Sects and their Leadership....these being Roman Catholics and almost all Protestants and their Leadership....that being the Pope...etc....have all made public statements to the Faithful and this started with Pope John Paul II....and he said that the Vatican Science Team had reviewed data and that they had determined as well as the Pope had determined that Evolution was much more than just a theory and that Christian's should understand that the reality of Evolution did not conflict with one's belief in GOD and Jesus.

    After that statement all other Christian sect leadership soon followed with similar statements to their Faithful with the exception of Evangelical Baptists.

    Thus about 95% of all Christian Sect Leadership had informed 95% of all Christian's that Evolution was a reality.

    Obviously I was wrong to think that even though their own Religious Leaders informed them about the realities of Evolution that Christian's would act in a reasonable manner.

    I would venture to say ancient mythology.


    Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are not the first religions to have stories of great floods brought on by the gods. They exist in folklore around the world.

    http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/flood-myths.html


    As, in my opinion, many religions and cults adapt the stories of religions and cults they are trying to usurp, I think it is safe to say that the great flood myth had little to do with myth of the god of Abraham.

    Hebrew Stone tablets have said that "Moses lifted up his right and left hands and the sea departed" This passage is also in the Q'ran. And there has been nothing of note to explain this verse.

    Specifically, the Noah flood probably came from the Mesopotamian floods or the Flood at Gilgamesh. With Eastern religions, it probably came from some region in which they lived in.

    However, what cannot be explained is how a single myth is mentioned so many times by different regions and religions that cultural anthropologists cannot explain.

    Strawman much!
    No the climate has always changed since the Earth obtained its atmosphere and it always will change due to the orbital path of the Earth. So no I am not a "climate denier" if your implication is that I don't believe the climate changes. OF COURSE IT DOES. There used to be lakes in the Sahara...hhmmm there weren't any Hummers on the road back then when the climate changed I wonder what could have possibly caused it? When they dried up animals moved to where the food and water was or they died. Also, whether or not man has the ability to change the Earths climate is irrelevant due to the fact there is nothing anyone can do about it except adapt or die.
    Also, the biggest threat to man isn't the climate, it is overpopulation. We will kill ourselves long before the climate. We put cancer causing chemicals in our own food to make it look better you think we are gonna survive much more than a blip on the Earths time horizon?
    Also since you brought up selective intelligence Ill illustrate yours by asking you a very simple question that you wont be able to answer.
    What is your viable alternative fuel source to replace coal and oil? Ill start using it tomorrow. If you don't have one then what exactly is your issue with the climate at all? Your family would be dead by Friday if trucks stopped bringing people food. Trucks burn lots and lots of fuel. They do this because THERE IS CURRENTLY NO ALTERNATIVE!!!!!!
    Apparently you have it though so enlighten us with this new science please or else, welcome to the realization of your own "selective intelligence".

    I love the christian,... I just hate the ignorance.

    Hollywood loves money. All bible movies have a built in audience. Hollywood is willing to exploit that audience, Mel Gibson showed them how. You and your christian buddies will go see this movie. Hollywood will make lots of money. Then they will do it again and again and again as long as you allow your selves to be pandered to!

    Local floods happen when it rains a lot. Good-sized parts of southern Britain have been flooded since Christmas.
