    Christians have never required any aid in that undertaking.

    Godless???? How is the portray, in the King James bible, Christian god a moral being in term of humans??????

    One more the Christian god is a monster an in my opinion we would all be better off without the worship of such a god.

    Why would Christians pretend to be atheists? You seem to be the one who kicks Christians out of your Christian club when they misbehave...doesn’t work that way

    Yep, those Jewish children killed by the millions were killed because they were rich. Talk about a rationale.

    Well, missed by a mile. That is your excuse, not Hitlers.

    Did you address the comments by me speaking of the Atheist's mass murders of Jews? Had they not killed millions in the Soviet Union, perhaps there would be more Jews and Christians.

    Are you now saying you believe the religion of the Jews so long as they are not Orthodox?

    I am willing to let you try to explain to me how I think. My goal is ... based on my experiences and level of knowledge, gained since childhood to the present age of 79,. that in all these years i have learned a lot of valuable things, I try to express my own view and not shortchange my readers.

    Take a look at my sig line. I am called a gentleman who listens to reason. That is a posters view who posts here.

    I have little patience for the orthodox. I feel the same way about any religious extremism
    Gee someone said something nice about you...so it must be true. I should send you the hundreds of letters I’ve gotten from students

    Sure I would love to read a few such letters. Use your cell phone to photograph some and share them with the forum.

    What makes orthodox extreme? I am no jew yet know a lot about their history and figure they are a mixture of various types.

    Do you have problems with extreme atheists?

    Cute, but godless is godless. There is no pretense in action. Though it may be argued as a case of temporary atheism. What it can never be is Christian.

    I believe in God because I believe in The Father and I believe in The Only Begotten Son.

    So you haven't read the DoI. Whodathunkit.

    No, he was abroad during the PA Convention. The US was founded as an independent nation in 1776, not 1787.

    I'll give you one guess.

    We the People have a Constitutional Right to be free from religion when it comes to our government OF the People and FOR the People.

    All attempts by theists to impose their beliefs onto the Law of the Land have been overturned or repealed.

    We the People have Freedom FROM Religion as a de facto standard under the Law of the Land.

    Are you denying that the Germans were Christians?

    I brought up confirmation bias because it applies to your belief in what he said. When someone is brain dead they don't come back to life even when their body is still alive. You are taking the word of someone who had a serious illness of the brain that causes damage and hallucinations and treating it as though it was the gospel truth. Critical thinking would be to go and research meningitis and the symptoms and effects for yourself before just accepting what was said just because it agreed with your own confirmation bias.
