Children are evil.

Especially three year olds whose first teeth are coming through who have an insatiable desire to test them out on anything nearby.

I have met my nephew and he is evil incarnate. Still, the universe has a balance. My sister has a Rottweiller/Pitbull cross (who it would seem has its own chew-toy.).

Not a parent, huh? I'd love to have kids when I'm older and settled down.

Nope. If I were to father children my life would end.


My wife would kill me.
(She cannot have children due to medical difficulties)

Yes, it's very easy to take two thousand years of human history and grab everything religion has done wrong. It's just as easy to make sweeping generalizations about secularism, The Nazis, Stalin, African Slavery, Native Culling in north america and south america, it's just too easy

Shuma, i have seen the same old tired arguments from Biull O Reilly on Fox news, and as you might expect coming from Billo most of it is just plain wrong, are you just parroting what he says? Nazism has nothing to do with Secularism. Hitler was a Roman Catholic. It said "God with us" on the SS Belt buckles.

Granted Stalin just happened to be an atheist, but he didnt do what he did BECAUSE of atheism.

When looking at standard measures of societal health, we find that secularists fare remarkably well highly religious nations fare rather poorly. The 2004 United Nations' Human Development Report, which ranks 177 countries on a "Human Development Index," measures such indicators of societal health as life expectancy, adult literacy, per-capita income, educational attainment, and so on. According to this report, the five top nations were Norway, Sweden, Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands. All had notably high degrees of organic atheism. Furthermore, of the top twenty-five nations, all but Ireland and the United States were top-ranking nonbelieving nations with some of the highest percentages of organic atheism on earth. Conversely, the bottom fifty countries of the "Human Development Index" lacked statistically significant levels of organic atheism.

Are you a religious man yourself? Thats fine, but lets stick to the facts. And im tired of hearing the same unfounded tosh, especially the Hitler one.

What stuns me the most is that our entire lives are a testament to Science and the scientific method, and many people are more than happy to trust Science by flying in planes, driving cars, using electricity, consulting doctors or dermatologists or brain surgeons, and then, when it comes to the origins of our universe, why do they suddenly think these same people have no credibility?

This thread is closed. I swear the more I see the OT and these constant attacks on the religion the more I agree it should be shut down.
