No response? I'm not surprised. Your argument that "He" means men is so utterly preposterous that more deserves to be said on this subject. Have you ever read the following? You see, under your theory members of congress can only be male. So some insidious right wing conspiracy could take...

No, legally all statements would not need to be applied equally even if such an ammendment passed. That would equate to forced speech which is prohibited under the first ammendment. If my reasoning process was faulty then you are a Sophist for calling my statement sexist before you knew the...

Either the statement is sexist or not. All statements don't have to be equally applied to both women and men in order not to be sexist. This is more fallacious PC thinking. Saying I don't want women to be drafted doesn't meet the criteria. If you think it does, you're projecting your own...

This is getting more silly by the moment. Using a masculine pronoun doesn't exclude women, not even technically speaking. Consult with a constitutional expert if you must but this is simply ridiculous. I can assure you that a constitutional crisis won't occur over a pronoun. You can call...

It is sexist to not want women drafted? Is it also sexist to not want men drafted by your same logic or is sexism only a one way street? Do you know what sexism is? How does not forcing women to be drafted take any of their rights away? How does it demean them? If women want to join the...

I think momentum for this (ERA) amendment dried up when it became apparent that under this amendment it would be unconstitutional for a military draft to occur that excluded women. I want equal rights for women. I don't want women drafted during wartime. Most people have come to the conclusion...

Thanks for the info: What do you mean: You can be very creative with them? And on the DLL version, are you saying you can have 2 development machines (and compiled program will work on other computers), or that it will only work on 2 machines period? Thanks,

Axeman, If you are truly relying on unemotional logic for your atheist belief and arguments, then why are your responses so overtly hostile toward those who would take the other side of the argument?

No. I probably went one step too far in the analysis. But at any rate, you can take it to the level that if your happiness is enhanced by living a principle in a book, then you can safely say, "that principle is good." And yes, there might be good principles hidden in otherwise...

I'm saying that if the Bible's teachings are good then the Bible is good, and if they are bad then the Bible is bad. If you are happier after living the principles found in the Bible, then you can know that the book is good and that it contains true principles. If the principles in the book are...

It sounds like you had a bad experience with this particular teaching, and I can understand this. I agree with your statements above. It could be psychologically harmful to a child, and it sounds like this was the case with you. But, I don't think it is fair to say that the Bible is the...

See the post above your reply. Both you and axeman failed to catch the irony.

What exactly was I proving? Stating that it is mindblowing that an atheist is applying his morality to God requires a definite proof according to axeman's requirements in order to be valid as a statement of irony on a message board? Saying that it is a conceit to judge God means I gotta prove...

Exactly which biblical principles did you live that didn't improve your life or in other words made your life worse? If a book teaches principles then by living those principles, you should be able to determine for yourself whether that book is good or bad by evaluating your life before you...

It is totally mindblowing. Its only not mindblowing if you first ASSUME that God does not exist, and therein lies the problem. You have never proved that God does not exist. You have never proved that morality does not stem from God either. You have never proved God is not perfect...

By this same definition, science is also worthless because every year or so it seems an old theory is discarded, and a new one is embraced. With so much extreme ambiguity science is completely worthless. How can anyone believe in science when virtually every year an old theory is discarded and a...

Does anyone besides me and marketsurfer see the irony of an atheist judging God by a moral code that eminated from God? Or put another way, an imperfect being judging a perfect being with imperfect knowledge. The conceit is mindblowing.

What is: Thanks,

If the line is blurred, it is not the fault of law enforcement. After all the property damage done by protesters, it is clear that some of them are acting more like terrorists than protestors. Civil disobedience by its nature consists of illegal activity, whether it is looting, vandalism, a...

I agree with your points regarding what the Democrats are trying to accompish with their filabuster, and how they are doing it. However, I for one am glad there is still at least one Senator who is willing to put principle ahead of politics and do the right thing. But, the inability to get...
