Not in defense of Bush, but this guy you are talking about seems to be mad at the wrong person unless George Bush was the actual Army recruiter. If his son wanted to serve and the war in Iraq was already going, why is this a justification to hate Bush? I think people with low intelligence...

I'm sure this professor feels he is one of the ones who should go on.

So only certain public servants who are paid by our tax dollars should be censored?

Does that go for professors at taxpayer funded universities as well?

Looks like KingCobra is back.

The reason they need to stifle all debate about whether carbon dioxide from humans is the cause of global warming is because any dissent could destroy the political movement. We now have the animal rights activists stating that cows create more carbon dioxide than humans. I'm not debating...

One more that would definitely hold true in my eyes knowing the nature of human beings: If atheism spread, it would become a religion as intolerable as the ancient ones. --Gustave le Bon It has not to do with God himself, but the nature of man and his free will that creates violence. Just...

This quote is true. However, it would not be the strong argument of an atheist, unless that "atheist" were of the type mentioned in the Orwell quote. It definitely does not disprove God, but it does prove a disdain for the believer. Here are a couple of great quotes that really show the...

In other words: “A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.” Francis Bacon, Sr.

I think this sums up most atheists in my view: "He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike him." George Orwell

First truly bipartisan decision in Washington DC.

That is a problem Republicans have to overcome, but it is hard when you have a predominantly liberal media waiting vigilantly for any soundbyte to pounce on. Before the onset of Fox News, you had to distance yourself from any inflammatory speech made by another Republican, or else you had every...

You should take a look at this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=440049&in_page_id=1965 The UN report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was published in February. At the time it was promoted as being backed by...

While I have to say that Coulter definitely should not have made the comments she made, I also found Edwards' own reply to them quite comical considering his hiring of Amanda Marcotte and McEwan for his blog. Here are his comments on the situation: "I think it's important that we not reward...

This guy sounds like some of the stock market conspiracy theorists on here. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2007/03/01/D8NJI8LO7.html Unabomber-Like Figure Baffles Feds By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH Associated Press Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- He calls himself "The Bishop." Exactly why...

You are correct about my supposition, but maybe not of what religion I speak. I am waiting on some books to arrive (amazon ordered) that really delve into this very topic of discussion. It is actually a lecture series by Friedrich Max Muller. It looks at the three branches of natural religion...

I agree that people will reject pain and not want to be killed. The question is whether they can decide that it is morally wrong for themselves. Fight or flight is definitely hard-wired into the mind of everyone as an instinct because they do not want to feel pain. This is different than...

Well I can't argue that it is a possibility that it is hard-wired as you say in a person's mind. However, religious texts are where we find the first articulations of this idea. To me, that makes a strong argument for it being of religious origin. Unfortunately, to test your idea is an...

The origin of the golden rule is religion.

I am not saying they would not know. I am asking how they do know. I am not asking for some simple explanation like everyone should know. What ideas do atheists believe in that help them come to the determination that it is wrong.
