Comment on Shroud of Turin easily debunked by EnlightenedOne

All foolishness aside, whenever scientific evidence is prestented to the sheeple, they don’t accept it anyway. Better to side with the talking snake, bushes that burn infinitely, walking on water, zombies, etc., than real evidence. I guess most people would rather believe a fabulous fairy tale than evidence, right? I think it was in Bill Maher’s documentary “Religulous” where it was asked of one “believer” that if the fairy tales that were read to her as a child were switched around with the miracles in the bible, would she be able to distinguish the two. I doubt it, as they are both unbelievable, and good entertainment at best. Time to shake off the shackles of the ultimate tool of enslavement. After all, what better a master than an all-seeing, all-knowing mean guy who loves you so very much but will send you to a place where you will suffer forever for screwing up?!? I wouldn’t wish that upon my worst enemy, and I am not divine by any means. How about the rest of you?

@David Allard

Although I seriously doubt it, I hope that comment was meant to be deeply and severely sarcastic. If not, it is mind blowing that people who think like you stil exist! Come on man, seriously?!? Anyone with a shred of intelligence knows that it is ultimately your European relatives that control and installed the “demonic rat” you speak of, all those before him, and all those to come. He does have one thing over the dirty drunk inbred redneck that he replaced: At least when he lies he does it eloquently. By the way, Lucifer, if there ever was such an entity, is referred to as the bringer of light. But in your world bringer of light is translated into “black lord”. And I’m sure there are plenty of Republicans, veterans, and police that are Atheists. Whatever rock people like you crawled from under or hole you burrowed out of, you need to return, and most expeditiously! Make haste infidel!

Comment on Understanding right and wrong by Parabola

I’m glad to see other people speaking out against this kind of immorality, good on you for writing to the Star Trib. I also agree with most everything you said, and I like the delivery. But I do have to say, I would differ with you on this part:

“They do not understand right and wrong.”

I think they do know the difference, but they also think they’re above the rules. They have serious influence across the globe, and across many parts of society — do you think the average cop/lawyer/judge wants to be party to the conviction of the vicar of Christ? I’m not sure most of them have the stones.

It seems like these sociopaths are literally held to be something more than human, and perhaps slightly less than divine, like a Joseph Stalin with a funny hat. They can literally get away with something as depraved as child rape and skate away from justice, it really is mind-bending.

I couldn’t agree more. Public Relations is a monster that is loose and wreaking havoc wherever it goes.

To assume that a television advertisement would impact a decision of this magnitude is a great insult to the human race.

Comment on Thought for today by Scott Muir

I prefer to substitute Unicorns for Absolute Truth, so you have to prove to me that they don’t exist.

James, you are the one claiming there is a god. We cannot discuss this unless you tell us what this god consists of and where it exists and how we know. The definition of existence, after all, is to consist of something and to be somewhere.

If you can figure that out, you then have to tell us why you think this god has whatever attributes you think it has and how you know.

We simply can’t discuss something without knowing what it is we are discussing.
