    Sorry I totally missed the murderous Christian rampages going on in the Middle East right now. Could you highlight a few of them?

    Discovering truths through meticulous observation, subjecting theories thereby formed to rigorous, repeated controlled experimentation to ascertain whether they invariably apply, and allowing for the knowledge thereby gained to be refuted by further such rigorous pursuit, has greatly expanded the depth and breadth of human knowledge.

    The poetic tradition that earth rides of the back of a large turtle is not challenged by the scientific process, merely assigned to a realm of human understanding where it is unchallengeable.

    Whether cancer is more amenable to a regimen of radiation treatment, an approach made possible by scientific pursuits in several disciplines over centuries of intellectual inquiry, or sacrificing a fatted calf on an altar is a choice, but the modalities are not mutually exclusive.

    I am not a Christian, nor am I religious. However, I look at this beautiful world and how everything works together and I have to wonder. How could this happen by accident and through evolution? Even after a million years of trial and error, it would be incredible. Anyone who has absolutely no doubt is blind. As a result, I tend to let religious people believe what they want to and non religious people believe what they want to.

    Atheists have many debunked arguments they cling to. It is as if they are more religious than anyone.

    I can only offer you explanations, I can’t help you understand what I post too. Comprehension is on you.

    So when Democrats nowadays soil their drawers over the micro size -- of the Dem Party created -- KKK that's because THEY need a boogyman? So forth and so on.

    What is “feewings”? Did you suddenly become a 4 yr old?
    I was taught what is right and wrong

    Because you grew up in a Judeo/Christian culture. Take God out of the picture and all you have is personal preference.

    The image isn't visible on my end, so I'll just go ahead and assume it's retarded, thanks.
    There's also a clear distinction between that separation as defined by dogmatic atheists and anything that can be found in the Constitution.
    So either you don't believe what you just posted, or what you just posted defies logic. Which do you prefer?
    Sure you do. Without God, you might believe murder is wrong, but you'll believe otherwise in a heartbeat if it becomes expedient.
    Who the hell's talking about that?
    Sure, I get it. Acknowledging a multitude of gods is your way of denying the Real Deal.
    And you know you were correctly taught how, exactly?

    The God of the Jews and His Son Jesus are truth that some men of science choose to ignore

    The fact that we exist is proof the God exists

    I didn't even suggest that. I just said I was raised to know right from wrong and it didn't take religion. You sound silly thinking I suggested such.

    Divine creation....LMAO....because the universe is beyond our comprehension it must be a white bearded guy creating it....that makes a lot of sense.

    Why is taking care of our fellow man important? Because we are all connected and sentient beings deserve to be given a hand when they need it. Mind you I realize you can't help those that have made up their minds to hurt themselves, but if it were a family member or friend I would do that til the end.

    Prove either exist.

    No it isn’t. This is a circular argument.

    Atheism by definition is not a religion.

    There is of course a very clear separation of church and state. It’s written directly into the constitution, and there is a mountain of case law confirming it.
