Gee you seem pretty cruel. How would you feel if you had something in your

Nobody cares about your filters. If you want somebody to care about your
filters, try putting one over your own mouth, because the stench that comes
out of your pie hole really stinks this place up. Speaking of worthless
eaters, please! Enough about filters.

As for Gunner using doctors, he's a poor democrat like you are. Certainly at
some point in your life, you or somebody you know has used a hospital, no?
If not, pray to God to thank him for giving you such wonderful health
instead of taking pleasure in another's health problems. So shut the fuck up
about karma and hypocrites, because both can easily apply to you.

As for Rush being in a hospital in Honolulu, we aren't worried since we know
it's a fact finding mission. If he can't find that birth certificate
evidence, nobody will. Happy New Year, you Douche Bag.

If memory serves, solstice is also the day when the sun is
highest/lowest in the sky at noon. That's not a hard thing to
determine, once you know to look for it.

Baldness is what kind of hair style?

If you are a theist, you believe in religious matters. Someone who is
A-religious is, by definition, not religious. ergo it's not a
religious position. The fools in the census office have some
definitive definition of non-religion?

Atheism is a structured belief system which attracts many who
are alienated by conventional religions. But it lacks several
essential elements of religion.

A new type of religion is forming, as yet unnamed and unfelt.

Actually, many atheists are every bit the zealots that Christians,
Muslims, and many others are. Their "disbelief" is a religion to
them.

And these sorts of individuals often demonstrate their religious zeal
by trying to impose their "no religion" on those who wish to practice
their own theism.

"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts as are only
injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say
there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor
breaks my leg." -- Thomas Jefferson

I'll agree that there are militant atheists, but that doesn't make
atheism a religion. Tho, some of them can be just as tiresome and
irksome as rabid bible thumpers.

Militant atheists are created when religionists attempt to shove their
superstition upon the unwilling. California's Proposition 8 and
religious instruction, creationism, in public schools for example.

Yes, the Haters-Of-Gods-That-Be are in the market for a new god,
a lens through which they can focus their own brand of prejudice
and exclusivity.
