Hello Rick,

I like your style. It is good to see.

I'm loved or hated. Its always been the case for me.

I won't say much about profiles. Those that I befriend, those I don't. But, for me the ones who become friends are always the right ones.

Greetings,

It seems like that the Religion Induced Dementia is in full bloom amongst those who responded to my latest posting.

Not only are they Demented but they are in DENIAL. They refuse to acknowledge and respond to FACTS. Instead they choose to attck me personally. This just shows how PITIFUL their cause is.

1. I did not defend the actions of the Muslim community. Hatred is hatred. Terrorism is Terrorism. It matters not which Mythical God ones is trying to Glorify or worship.

2. Actions of the Christian Community can not be justified
just because the Muslim did it also.

Andrew, the fact that you dispute my points indicates that are either missinformed or in denial. The Baptist, who are th driving force behind most of the EVIL in the USA are on record. The Baptist conventions of 1999 and 2000 included those statements in their policy papers.

The Christins have HIJACKED our government. In the state of TEXAS, you can not get elected for dog catcher, unless you are sponsored by some ULTRA RIGHT WING religious organization. If you try, they will spend unlimited amounts of money to beat you, belittle you, ridicule you and your family. Nice Christians.

The Christians use Psychologial Terrorism to impose their
Dumbed Down attitudes on our country. Along with breaking the laws on the seperation of State and Chrurch, periodically they throw in some Physical Acts of Terrorism.
Timothy McVay, The Olympic Bomber and other wild eyed Terrorist wer all DEVOUT CHRITIANS, who prayed before comitting their acts of Terror. Just like the Muslims did
on 9/11/01.

It is Religion Induced Dementia that keeps you folks from
recognizing these acts as Terrorism. It is Religion Induced Dementia that makes you folks reject SCIENCE and EVIDENCE in favor of some FAIRY TALE without any credibility.

Rickster, Vitamin E, can help you improve on your concentration. It is a bad reflection on you that you need to post all these different answers. Try to handle several thoughts with one shot. Vitamin E, might help you in an other area as well. You sure sound frustrated.

Rickster, if you take, my negative attitude towards the Jesus Myth, as your proof, you got problems. You got big problems. Try to rationalize the ridiculous concept of IMMACULATE CONCEPTION and VIRGIN BIRTH. Listen to what the JEWS are saying. (You know, the chosen ones.) Jesus was the result of a fling between Maria (Myrna) and a Roman Soldier. You want your Redemption from a son of a Roman Soldier? Good Luck.

You folks should try to regain contact with REALITY.

Bill, are not your wife and mother religious persons? How do you handle the fact that they go to church to pray?

Thanks Bill

As I told you privately, I love my family and friends just the way they are. They know how I feel about these things.

I give them support as needed as they try to rationalize the SCIENCE of EVOLUTION with their faith. They all believe in EVOLUTION. It's not an easy dilemma for them.

We've kicked these things around before - you and I - but I want you to know that - although I find it difficult to actually walk in your shoes here (having been a believer since a kid) I do appreciate your steadfast and loving support for your family and your tolerance of differing beliefs within your family.

I know people get excited about 'evolution' - but at the end of the day it is not that, that dictates the concept of eternal salvation.

But the moment I use a word like 'salvation', I know that I'm up against it, 'cause you and I are so sure of our facts - but so far apart on ANYTHING to do with 'spiritual life' and 'life after death' that we can't even use binoculars.

I guess that's when it's better to leave off!!

Andrew
