Dear Religion, While you were debating which chicken sandwiches were okay to eat... [View all] onehandle Aug 2012 OP

Too late... Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #1

Ah. I missed that. Monday was a busy day. Thanks. nt onehandle Aug 2012 #2

This kind of shit just makes DU look like a bunch of morons. Not everyone agrees with this crap, MADem Aug 2012 #3

Religion is not science. Lex Aug 2012 #4

Putting people down -- particularly when there are religious people on that NASA Mars Team-- for MADem Aug 2012 #5

The two ARE separate. Religion didn't put the rover on Mars. Period. Lex Aug 2012 #7

People did that. People. Persons. Individuals. Some of them have said they are religious, too. MADem Aug 2012 #9

I'm not the one coming off as terribly insecure. Lex Aug 2012 #15

I am not "offended." I do have a strong sense of fairness, and I perceive this thread to be MADem Aug 2012 #16

Just look at your responses on this very thread! Lex Aug 2012 #28

I am not the one making the snarky "suuuuuuuure" comments. MADem Aug 2012 #29

Note away, my friend. I do not think you are pathetic Lex Aug 2012 #30

I'll say it again, I believe in fairness. nt MADem Aug 2012 #32

Also, a tree is not a bicycle. eom yawnmaster Aug 2012 #6

Live and let live. Fine, let the religionists go first. Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #8

I agree with that entirely--you should keep your prejudices to yourself. MADem Aug 2012 #10

You don't seem to have any problem with nasty coming from the fantasy set. Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #19

I don't think two wrongs make a right. MADem Aug 2012 #22

No, I do not think it makes it right, I just refuse to continue to acquiesce to their demands of Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #27

Well, your assertions about me are not accurate. MADem Aug 2012 #31

Well for those of us that don't live in your head, it sure as hell looks that way. Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #34

It's one thing to figure things out, it's another to act on what you've learned. nt MADem Aug 2012 #35

LOL! I guess that's the difference here, I know I'm being an asshole about this, Egalitarian Thug Aug 2012 #37

I know plenty of decent people who are religious. I judge people by their deeds, see? MADem Aug 2012 #38

Saying "Oh, my God" doesn't mean you're religious. DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #11

dammit redqueen Aug 2012 #13

See post seventeen. nt MADem Aug 2012 #18

Just saying, "Oh my God" doesn't mean the person saying it is religious. nt redqueen Aug 2012 #12

Well, it suggests a cultural, if not personal, relationship to a deity, like it or not. nt MADem Aug 2012 #17

No, it suggests that we use language common in our culture DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #20

I don't agree with your interpretation. nt MADem Aug 2012 #21

I'm an atheist who uses such language fairly often DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #23

Ah, well I daresay some atheists might look askance at your sincerity! MADem Aug 2012 #24

You are descending further into absurdity. DavidDvorkin Aug 2012 #25

I don't think so. nt MADem Aug 2012 #33

That IS funny----thanks for the chuckle. virgogal Aug 2012 #26

hahaha.... well done! fascisthunter Aug 2012 #36
