Yes, there is a valid argument against saying that religious delusion
was the motivation for the monkey with the helmet with the country
that God loves. It could have had something to do with oil or some
creepy personal legacy to get back at daddy ("I answer to the bigger
daddy"). Of course, if religious faith is respectable we have no
grounds for criticizing Osama Bin Laden or anyone else that acts on
faith. You can't reasonably say this religious faith is okay and that
is not because whenever religious faith is acceptable reason is
nowhere to be found anyway.
Polls say that most Americans refuse to elect an atheist president.
This when we are in a ideological war with the faithful. Brilliant.

Now here is a problem.
How did you reach to the conclusion that Iraq had anything to do with
Al-Qaida?
The formal reason for this war was the weapons of mass destruction,
not the connection to terrorism.

Here is another problem.
If Iran and Syria are the real troublemakers, why attack Iraq and give
Iran exactly what it wants?

Again, if the purpose was to fight against Islamic terrorists, why
center only on Iraq where the effect is exactly the opposite of the

Basically, Bush operates on the same frequency as any militant muslim
group insofar as his decision making and policy is based on his
religious beliefs. Now, some are afraid to call this fanatical because
they think the U.S. is immune from such criticism no matter how
similar their rationale is to terrorist organizations. For this
reason, I think he is as dangerous as any of them. This guy is a
freakin nut job, as far as I'm concerned, and needs to be removed from
office.

This war was started by people who didn't know the difference between
a Sunni and a Shi'ite. This war was started by people who thought we
would be greeted as liberators. Every prediction by the hawks about
this war has been _wrong_ and now they're asking us to take their word
for it that things will get better as we throw young Americans into
the meat grinder. As Bill Maher said, "Put down the magic 8-Ball
Nostradamus!"

Here is something that pisses me off: there is an escalation, a very
consistent escalation, of casualties in Iraq from month to month.
Things are GETTING WORSE. NOT BETTER. This is a fact that would be
obvious to a sane child.

It is a war against an ideology--_this_ is correct. This is where many
liberals fuck up. We _are_ at war with Islamic literalism and the fact
that some assholes (even Bush) are too PC to admit that a religion can
be bad is costing us in blood. If America wasn't so full of Christians
it would be a lot easier for us to just say that Islam is insane, but
since Christianity is equally unsubstantiated this "religious
tolerance" jazz is actually killing people.
> It will take time to wipe out a bizarre
> culture.
"Bizarre" fucking how? Wow--they believe in a psychotic religion with
no evidence. That is _completely_ different than other cultures.
Listen: I think Islamic culture is insane but I get to say that
without being a hypocrite because I don't follow an equally stupid
faith myself. Christians are not better than Bin Laden. Christians are
the same.

Of course we are at war with Islam. But if you're religious--guess
what? You have no case for your beliefs being any better than theirs.
They are unsubstantiated in an equal way.
I know that Iraq is not isolated. I know we are fighting a larger
threat. It is _faith_ that we are fighting. Islam is what unites this
terrorist front and the lack of logic behind it is what should be
attacked--but we can't, because so many Westerners are guilty of the
same retarded religious dogshit. If you believe Jesus Christ was born
of a virgin as the Son of God then you are in no position to call the
terrorists crazy. YOU ARE THE SAME.

Obviously, I hate George W. Bush. I can only speculate as to the
overall response to the assassination of him and Dick Cheney. The
media would be very confused as to how to react. They would have no
choice but to pretend like it was some kind of tragedy. Patriotism is
racism like that. Bush and Osama Bin Laden do deserve to be placed on
the same pedestal.
My central point regarding my antitheism lies in the tolerance of
Islam by Christians because deep down inside the Christians know they
are full of shit about everything. Islam is not a religion of peace.
Christianity is not a religion of peace. It is all shit and kills
people. Fuck stupid ideologies or die: that is what we're up against.

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I missed the point where Iraq attacked the
United States. When was that, exactly?
Do you see people complaining about Afghanistan? No. Why is that?
Because that war is actually justified (which the US summarily forgot
about because there was not enough oil in the fields). So why do you
think Bush stopped pursuing bin Laden (an ACTUAL threat to US
security)?
Right. No oil involved. Can't get rich off of capturing one guy.

Bullshit. You're just a fucking coward and an unintelligent dumbass
who doesn't understand that this war is not fought about our freedom.
It's a war to send poor young men to die so that rich old men can get
richer off the spoils of oil.
Anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar. Just like you.
This is a joke right ? You must be joking. Or just baiting the

> civilization to the world as well as the Savior.
This HAS to be more comedy. You can't really believe that.
The world would still be considered flat if the catholics had had
their
way. But R. Ingersoll said it better so I quote
We have already compared the benefits of theology and science. When
the theologian governed the world, it was covered with huts and hovels
for the many, palaces and cathedrals for the few. To nearly all the
children of men, reading and writing were unknown arts. The poor were
clad in rags and skins -- they devoured crusts, and gnawed bones. The
day of Science dawned, and the luxuries of a century ago are the
necessities of to-day. Men in the middle ranks of life have more of
the conveniences and elegancies than the princes and kings of the
theological times. But above and over all this, is the development of
mind. There is more of value in the brain of an average man of to-day
-- of a master-mechanic, of a chemist, of a naturalist, of an
inventor, than there was in the brain of the world four hundred years
ago.
These blessings did not fall from the skies. These benefits did
not drop from the outstretched hands of priests. They were not found
in cathedrals or behind altars -- neither were they searched for with
holy candles. They were not discovered by the closed eyes of prayer,
nor did they come in answer to superstitious supplication. They are
the children of freedom, the gifts of reason, observation and
experience -- and for them all, man is indebted to man.

Not so. The God of the Bible would be guilty of lying profusely if He
is also Allah. Muslims mock the God of Israel. There is only one God,
and His name is not Allah or anything else not indicated in the
Bible.

Wrong. Check out http://www.adherents.com/adh_presidents.html I
witnessed Clinton as being the least concerned about living a
Christian life, making a few small shows of religion to gain votes.
Lincoln was a deep deist, in his last days honoring Christ. Jefferson
rejected the notion of miracles, but never denied Christ. Believing in
miracles is not required.

Christianity makes no such claim to convert all. The means of
salvation was paid for by Christ. Christianity centers around teaching
the Word of God and making disciples of those who embrace Christ.TODAY
the two beliefs stand directly opposed. Islam continues to employ
conversion-or-die tactics. Christians put their resources into people
who come to listen to the preachers, follow seeking, and wanting to
complete the change. None are compelled to decide, while Islam forces
choice at the tip of swords and guns. Modern day Muslims insist on
vindicating a violent spread of Islam wherever it is resisted.

Islam = poverty and death

To make things worse, the attack weakened Iraq, and left Iran as the
strongest threat in the area. A strong threat that isn't shy about
it's intentions toward the west. And a strong threat that can now
unite all the fanatics of the area against "the crusaders".
Maybe years from today people will say that it was better then an
alternative. But it sure wasn't a smart decision, not politically and
not strategically.

Americans accepted those losses and supported continuation of a just
war. If we faced that threat today we'd be seeing the same cowardice
being displayed today. The current numbers of lost troops is quite
acceptable considering how many years it took to reach those numbers.
If we had a D-Day loss today I figure many American doves would want
to storm the Capital, trampling themselves.
> And this doesn't count the civilian casualties on the Iraq side,

They are the ones targeted by Iranian & Syrian insurgents. If they had
stepped up to the plate to defend themselves earlier and with vigor
their losses would have been much lower. We can't help that. But, with
out presence those losses have been kept very small compared to the
mass genocide awaiting them without us.

Too bad you are so ignorant of history. Thomas online still has all

Osama can't get around, hiding in a hole, because of special forces on
his trail. They'll take him out at the most opportune moment.

The guys to go after are the ones sent out by Osama and morons like
him. When we do take Osama out he will be immediately replaced, his
name elevated to a high martyr status encouraging more morons to join
that cause. If I had the button I'd plan to take out mecca and Osama
at the same hour.

You are deluded. Deranged. None of that has succeeded except on
American soil. Chavez is nationalizing American interests in
Venezuela, for instance. No oil men get rich over that, except those
at the top of the nationalizing move. Iraqi oil will be worthless
without constant stability there. Iraqis will be the ones getting
rich, or will lose it all to Iran.

I know how to love men while thrusting a bayonet through them. If
given the chance with reasonable accommodation I'd happily give the
gospel to an enemy combatant before dispatching him. I can pray for my
enemy while pulling a trigger on his position. "Lord, if possible save

Oh yeah. Look at history. Sure, some bad calls along the way, but
largely the faith of Christ changed the whole world for the better. No
other religion or movement can claim such a thing.
> The world would still be considered flat if the catholics had had

You didn't read up on that, did you? They were soon to come around to
the science news anyway. Some people still refuse to believe men
walked on the moon. They would have to be there to believe it. They
are no different from those ancient Catholics.
But R. Ingersoll said it better so I quote

Most of the world's knowledge did come from Christians and Jews, not
from pagans, atheists and barbarians.Muslims contributed nothing but
blood letting by the sword. Most other religions serve the largest
world populations amid continuing difficulties, not reaching out to
move the world beyond their own lands.

No doubt. If war comes you will lay prostrate and be killed. You only

All the actual studies reveal most of those people include young
adults in good health that don't realize someday they will NEED health
insurance. For now the young adults won't buy it no matter how cheap.
Theirs is quite cheaper, ya know. It also includes the ranks of drug
abusers that want to be taken care of when they get down bad enough.
Why subsidize their habits? Our Constitution never hinted at a
requirement for government or the People to supply such services. The
desire to try that is a Democrat thing. If they have their way our
health care quality and accommodation would plunge to levels enjoyed
in Canada. I doubt most Americans would put up with the long waiting
lists. That's why so many Canadians come across for health care, even
though it is paid for at home. Here in America many communities have
"free" medical facilities that serve the poor at little or no charge,
including medicines. Due to excess pride many adults with no insurance
won't enter those facilities. They want taxpayers to hide their lack.
Some are provided by concerned physicians giving back to the
community. Some are of religious origin.

Won't work. If that were policy in the 1940s Britain would have fallen
to Germany.But they were allies at that time and we were obligated to
help them. Strong support by the People? No wars would be fought. We'd
all be speaking Russian, German, or Chinese by now. That's why we try
to elect strong LEADERS who will always do the right thing, popular or

Wrong again! We will have bases in the middle of everything and be
able to quit holding in Saudi Arabia. Leaving the Saudis to defend
themselves would result in either their complete conversion to support
of terrorism and opening up to USA attacks, or put them on the begging
chain. From Iraq we will be able to strike anywhere in the Mideast
with ease. They have us at our knees for their oil. That will change
unless Democrat idiots are elected in '08.

The invasion had to break down what little they actually had. Most of
the wealth of Iraq built palaces for Saddam. Now many provinces in
Iraq are getting their share of the wealth, including the first ever
utilities like electricity.

Iraq happens to be building a new economy not enjoyed there before.
That economy will drive a strong nation. Iran will easily be driven
back into the Stone Age and left to deal with their misery a long
time. Most of what they brag about is in a few cities. They are very
vulnerable.

Of course our resident troll gets it backwards.... but then that's

Well... we all know he has never struck at al Qaida. If he did cannot
be a hero without the anti-hero. Also, we all know the god stuff is
just another of his lies.
He's a troll . Don't waste your time.
Aw..... is the little boy upset? Is all you can to is attack Atheists?

Which mas destruction weapons ? Were they found, and where ? ...
Liar. The attack on Pearl Harbor had less than 4000 casualties. So far
the immoral invasion of Iraq has produced over 70,000 casualties.
Again with the lies.

That most certainly was a total bush fabrication. That he lied is now
a proven fact.

Do you actually believe we are stupid enough to believe that? Nuclear
power creates MORE CO2 than burning fossil fuels. Do you think they
just pick the rocks off the ground and stick then in the reactor?
Then what do you do with the waste? You get a lot of waste that is
deadly for tens of thousands of years.
Which makes choosing bush's god absurd too.

<sigh>
I guess I DO have to give you a history lesson, moron.
You see, Islam and Judaism claim descent from the same person...
Abraham. They worship Yahweh, the God of Abraham, God, Allah (which
means "God" in Arabic, dumbass), etc etc. Islam claims descent from
Abraham through his first son, Ishmael. Judaism claims descent from
Abraham through his second son, Issac. They both worship the same God.
Christianity was developed later, as an offshoot from Judaism. So
Christianity also worships the same God.
Muslims believe that Muhammed was the prophet of God, and that Jesus
was also a prophet, not the son of God. But they all believe in the
same God (the God of Abraham).
I thought you actually READ the Bible. Guess not.

Do I have to tell you that deism is not Christianity, and they do NOT
share the same notion of God?
Of course I do, what am I talking about, your knowledge of religion is
as pitiful as your knowledge of science.
Deism: God is impersonal, created the universe and didn't touch it
since.
Christianity: God talks to people all the time, came down in bodily
form, crucified died buried, etc etc etc.

Well, he did add more colorful adjectives to both Islam and
Christianity. Before he was just relying on corruption, death and
abomination to describe Muslims. Since, he has added poverty to one of
the Muslim tenets of graciousness. Meanwhile, Christianity is about
life and prosperity. He just fails to mention that Christian
prosperity, in the U.S. has come at the expense of exterminating
entire ethnic groups like the Native American Indians and the
enslavement of African natives. This might be the part wherein he now
denies that the founding fathers were actually Christians--as he had
previously claimed....lol.

Well, then that fucks up all Christians because all Christians are
hypocrites. Anyone who says otherwise is either mentally retarded and/
or a liar. It is proof that the right is immoral when they equate
lying about a blowjob with lying about a war.

Same as Christianity:
*If you are a Christian, death is better than life.
*Martyrdom is good (re: Jesus).
*Violence towards unbelievers is encouraged in both The Bible and The
Q'uran.
*Faith is good.
*The worst offense you can commit is not believing in God.

Your pitiful mind probably can't handle this but records show Saddam
played games with UN inspectors, moving stuff out back doors while
detaining the teams. No records were found detailing Saddam's "mercy
flights" supposedly carrying huge amounts of medicine and food to aid
Syria following a big earthquake there. Authorization to airlift that
was given by the UN without proper supervision. Many of his weapons
are thought to have been taken to safety then. Between Clinton's
botched handling of Saddam and Bush waiting through 17 UN resolutions,
Saddam had plenty of time to remove most signs of the weapons. There
is no proof he didn't have them, but there was proof he used such
weapons on the Kurds. Saddam refused to submit to UN searches,
prompting the UN threats that had to be carried out or dissolve the
UN, and disgrace it's members.Facilities were found that were set up
for nuclear, chemical and biological weapons handling, but were found
emptied.

There have been over 50,000 civilian casualties since 2003 (4 years,
so 12,500 per year). Hussein was responsible for perhaps
100,000-200,000 deaths over a span of 27 years (so 3,703-7,407 per
year).

Bullshit. They have no fucking idea where he is. He's not surrounded

By calling me a liar you defang yourself as a blithering idiot. I'm
getting a healthy laugh on you. You are comparing practically 100%
American Pearl Harbor deaths to all of Iraqi plus American deaths in
Iraq. American deaths in Iraq are not up to those of Pearl Harbor. It
IS impossible to debate with atheists. All we're doing here is
slamming atheist views to the ground while countering with good sense
facts.
Man you people are stupid! Pitiful.

You know the christians have a long history of doing exactly what he

point and then when they did convert they'd kill them so they wouldn't
revert back. It shows how little they actually care for their fellow
humans.
And you little piece of shit - not one of them was in Iraq BEFORE the
immoral invasion. Only someone with shit for brains actually believes
there was any connection what so ever between Iraq and al Queda.
Proof? Where are those WMDs? Oh, I see your problem now. You

Yeah, you guys keep saying that as if you cared. See your

This is fuckin great. "Chavez is nationalizing American interests?"
You think the resources of Venezuela are naturally part of American
interests? Since when was Venezuela under the dominion of the U.S.?

If I posted a long list of links to speeches by Bill and Hillary
Clinton, ambassadors, congressmen, and the like perfectly describing
their fears of what Saddam was up to, you would not believe them. I
know that because none of you touched that link to Hillary's speech
before Congress. Normal people adept at using search engines on the
web can easily find hundreds of hours of speeches to watch and listen
to. But I understand your predicament, being of a reprobate mind. You
must say all that, including the Congressional records, are Republican
tricks. Clinton wasn't really the first. It goes way back. Clinton
just failed to act. It takes Republicans to roll up their sleeves and
act on problems.

You don't get CO2 from heating water to make steam. Good grief. Here's
someone a LOT smarter than you about that: "In the U.S. 90% of the
carbon emissions from electricity generation come from coal-fired
generation, even though this accounts for only 52% of the electricity
produced. Taking nuclear power off the table as a viable alternative
will prevent the global community from achieving long-term gains in
the control of carbon dioxide emissions." http://web.mit.edu/nuclearpower/
Once again I prove your insanity, your total ignorance of facts,

Naw, you have that wrong, as usual. That we Americans tolerate people

in a world full of religions that don't tolerate atheists, we are
resented. The Muslims hate us for allowing sin, hence their penchant
for destroying Hollywood and Las Vegas, among many other icons of the
American Way for many. Because we Christians follow the laws and allow
you to roam, this whole nation suffers. We are seen as hypocrites
because of our blind tolerance.

Cool, and as soon as you learn how to love women while thrusting the
same, you'll be more in compliance with The Good Book.
Incidentally, bayonets are kinda old-fashioned these days, the
confederates fell out of favor at about the same time.

Ishmael was born of the bondwoman, not of a free woman acceptable
among Abraham's family as an heir. The only link he had to Abraham was
genetic. An angel of God went to escort the woman and her son safely
through the wilderness, but the family relation stops there.They co-
existed as separate nations until Muhammad began the Muslim era in AD
622. He had re-written the Old and New Testaments, fabricating
practically all facts long accepted as truth. His tampering was
absurd, the works of a mad man. What he devised is far from the God of
Abraham.

Christianity is not out of Judaism. It is NEW Covenant from God.
Obviously you remain very ignorant of what the Bible teaches. Ever
wonder what "New Testament" means? Shoot, you are probably still
totally mystified.

No they don't follow Abraham's God. They follow Muhammad's idea of
deity.

Deists hold that things in nature prove the existence of one living
God. They reject supernatural events because they don't believe God
interferes with man. Most hold faith in the God of the Bible.
Again, you are so ignorant! Hoe can you take such a bashing?

He rejected a physical resurrection, but accepted a representative

hearts of his followers.

Really? "Go and spread the good news" wasn't in the Bible? News to

You can't possibly understand, but maybe this will carry on to sane

Such poor understanding of history! The Church opposed both hard
treatment of Indians and slaves. The Dutch shipping merchants brought
the slaves to America. People bought them and had an investment to
work out of them. Where did the Dutch get the slaves? From African
tribal leaders that mostly captured opposing tribal members, making
them THEIR slaves. You have little or no evidence the Church was
involved in the Indian or slave problems. They were simply incapable
of turning a whole nation around before the damage was done.

Such a poor ability to read!! Who said anything about the church?
You're changing the subject. It was you who said "Christianity=
prosperity and life". It was you who was talking about the founding
fathers being "Christian". No one said anything about any church
whatsoever until you got your ass handed to you.
You're out of your league here, Gomer. Go back to the woods and get
some from Smokey. Oh, just for clarity, I put the conversation in you
didn't want to show because you wanted to change the subject. By the
way, you can bet your ass that the church was all for slavery and the
extermination of the "heathen" Indians. where do you think the word
"heathen" came from when the colonists were referring to either
Africans or Indians? And, how about that wonderful Christian act of
burning witches?

One of the Crusades did in fact act without Papal blessing, but most
were concerning recapture of Jerusalem from Persians and Muslims. The
history of it all is quite interesting, the negative aspects of the
Crusades blown out of proportion by atheists and Muslims. Christians
can and will fight an enemy army when necessary. Had they not, there
would be no Church today. Women across the globe would be slaves to
Muslim men, wearing their burkas out of the home. Lord, let these

No contradictions except in your own feeble mind. A quick and

American oil companies invested heavily in that nation to develop oil

What total ignorance! The OKC-3S bayonet replaces the former Ka-bar
and remains a big part of infantry training and deployment. It doubles
as a utility knife and wire cutter, nice serrations near the handle to
rip deeper through armor. Bayonets have been standard issue through

I'm not privy to the plans. My guess is Bush will set up a Democrat

President will somehow have to invoke the faulty Powell policy the
Dems love so much. He knows it's coming. The Demoncrats have done

The "Church" is all of Christiandom, all church denominations involved
in mainline Christianity. Individual Christians don't change the world
and solve national problems apart from the powers of the Church.
Neither individual Christians nor the Church universal could stop
slavery or wrongs against native American indians. None backed any
abuses, but in fact complained vehemently to no avail. The problem was
just too old, cumulative, and widespread, results of the depravity of
selfish men.

Talk about changing the subject! BTW, the word "heathen" appeared in
the KJV Bible long before the West saw European pilgrims. Ha. You

The Cherokees, Creeks, Seminoles and other tribes moved to Oklahoma
actually adopted Christian teachings as a close fit to their customs
and beliefs. They built churches and schools toward the end of the
Trail of Tears era, and have continued to accept Christianity.
Missionaries from various churches in the East went to the tribes with
aid. The churches favored a Georgia law forbidding white men from
entering reservations there, but that was struck down as
unconstitutional by the USSC. The Church just wasn't well equipped or
motivated to engage in conflict over the problems. It was mostly
Christians (Quakers and prominent northern black churches) who
operated the Underground Railroad that moved slaves from the South to
Canada. Much more could have been done, but it just wasn't. It took
the Civil War to do the job.

So you want to flip flop now, caught in your ignorance? First the
atheist mindset says "out of Judaism", then comes back adding two
philosophies. This is proof you don't have a clue. List the elements
of JUDAISM that apply to New Testament Christianity. This should be
comical. I don't think you can separate Judaism in the OT from parts
having nothing to do directly with Judaism. You are too ignorant of
the Bible to do it.
Next, let's see you compare Christianity to Platonism then to Paganism
without nullifying one with the other. Christianity can stand up
opposed to both, and by pitting paganism with Platonism you would
destroy one or both. You can't do it, stupid. You lack knowledge of
those too, else you would not have put yourself in a difficult corner.

You just lost the last remnant of this "debate". The links are to
simple to understand Congressional Record entries covering what was

news networks covering Pres. Clinton, Hillary, cabinet members,

You failed to mention how nuclear power plants work. You very
mistakenly asserted they contribute MORE CO2 than burning fossil
fuels, which is the EXACT opposite of the truth according to that MIT
link I gave. You belong in a nursing home, tied to a bed. Nuclear
power heats water to make steam. No CO2 there. So where in the
processing of fuels does your CO2 come about? OH, I get it. Workers in
hot rugged uranium mines would breathe harder and emit more CO2? Or
maybe you think a few modern mining vehicles emit too much, more than
cars on one highway in a major city?
> > Once again I prove your insanity

I'll believe the scientists and experts out of Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.YOU are NOBODY in the mater. Burning fossil fuels
accounts for the vast majority of CO2, while nuclear power plants, AND
the processing of the fuels, contribute practically NOTHING but water
vapor to the atmosphere.You are out of the tree on that one, so bad
you should just leave and curl up in some dark alley.

time? While you look that up be sure to read about each mission, who
started the trouble, which involved Christians, and which involved
westerners or other people taking inspiration from the Christian
Crusaders, etc. I'll have to rub your nose in this after all. YOU will
be the one having to prove atheists wrong. I'll just point to history
sources.

Huh, No response with actual information. Just denial and derision.So

Again, no substance in your post. You are wrung out, undone, wiped
out, shamed. Yes, there were WMDs, used on the Kurds. The Saddam trial
proved that. Intel sources proved it. The lost answer for now is where
Saddam sent the remaining arsenal in those years he defied the UN and
America.
