Perhaps not. But you seem to tread on the periphery with your various misguided allusions:Quote from Maverick74:
Gabby, I don't think anywhere in the last 9 years have I ever mentioned the scientific method on ET. So please get your "facts" straight...[followed by a misguided allusion]...

For all you atheists out there that are so hung up on empirical proof that God exists, prove me this. Prove to me that love exists. You can't. But I bet you believe in it. Faith.

You equate a human emotion with the supposed "creator"? And where, exactly, would the logic be in that argument? Unless, of course, you are suggesting that "God" is an emotion. A feeling.
If you need proof of a commonly felt human emotion, a feeling, then you have my condolences. If you are trying to equate, by way of allusion, the concept of a creator of the universe with a commonly felt human emotion, then I hope for your sake that you are merely exercising poetic license.Quote from Maverick74:
Can you "prove" to me love exists? Can you? Much more interesting discussion then God I think you would agree. Certainly more applicable no? What says you Gabby? Give me your "proof" of love. Better yet, start a new thread and I bet it will be a lively one.

Quote from Maverick74:
And yes for the 10th time, I believe a man's actions carry far more weight as to who he/she is then their words. Words are meaningless. Everyone becomes a born again christian in prison right before their parole hearing. Everyone becomes religious as they are running for office. I like to see how a man behaves when no one is watching. When he is left to his own devices. When he is not trying to sell anything. That's just my opinion.

To be fair, speaking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time can have the advantage of making one feel they can't go wrong.Quote from Maverick74:
......and what scares me is that people on the left who believe in absolutism sooner or later are going to act on it. And this is dangerous.
