You would think jesus would pay his bills. but i guess not.

Quote from Ricter:

I cannot see why an atheist could not do something evil out of mere self-interest. And what about an evil person doing something good, what's the motive there?

the point is. what does it take to make a good person do evil?


President George Bush has claimed he was told by God to invade Iraq and attack Osama bin Laden's stronghold of Afghanistan as part of a divine mission to bring peace to the Middle East, security for Israel, and a state for the Palestinians.


The President made the assertion during his first meeting with Palestinian leaders in June 2003, according to a BBC series which will be broadcast this month.

Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: "I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,' and I did."

And "now again", Mr Bush is quoted as telling the two, "I feel God's words coming to me: 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God, I'm gonna do it."

His [Weinberg] assertion is that only religion can cause a good man to do evil, which I don't believe.

No need to belittle is there? Or is there a need to belittle in order to make oneself feel superior, and or a constant need to reinforce a belief that is not actually actualized in a manner that has brought inner contentment.

Quote from LORD KAL-EL:

He's a fricken 1 trick pony troll with 140 pgs of posts on the same subject, talk about a huge OCD .

The great irony is: his OCD is caused by something he claims doesn't exist:D :D :D :eek: .

Ignore him and he will just slither away until his search bots find "god" too frequently and he will be obliged to chime in with his venom of self loathing.

The word hypocrisy isn't really strong enough to do that justice.

ROSEVILLE, Calif.—Residential and commercial real-estate owners aren't the only ones losing their properties to foreclosure. The past few years have seen a rapid acceleration in the number of churches losing their sanctuaries because they can't pay the mortgage.

"I just told the bank to take it," Mr. Oliver said. "If you're a church with a piece of property upside down and no one will refinance the loan or lend you more money, there's not really another choice but to walk away."

Well lets just say you are quite the sycophant.

Might want to rub that brown spot off your nose and use some mouthwash.
