Yeah, right, 'cause we all know how nice and benevolent Christianity is. And nosirree, the Inquisitors weren't real Christians. Thing is, the only way to find out who's a real Christian is by squinting and seeing if they look real. Certainly there's...  [Read More]

Fundamentalist? I googled "Fundamentalist Poland" to see what complaint you might have in that department. I found several very wacked-out opinion articles, such as this one (http://bad.eserver.org/issues/2005/72/kitlinskileszkowiczlockard....  [Read More]

That MSNBC article in the first post is a bunch of liberal biased crap, imo...it mentions several Republicans, but leaves the Dems feeling squeaky clean, which is as far from the truth as I am from Antarctica. Not squeaky clean, perhaps. But certain...  [Read More]

I see your point. However, the neo-religious movement loves shouting match, because shouting matches convey only simplistic messages. Pro-sanity activists cannot rely on simplistic arguments, since that would be the very antithesis of sanity. Besides...  [Read More]

You know, I actually wish Dawkins would tone down his displays of his own metaphysical beliefs or lack thereof and concentrate on the science. The two should not be mixed. I have a pretty strong ethical code (in my own not so humble opinion), but I d...  [Read More]

Agreed. I know his other stuff is much disputed nowadays as well, I was merely referring to his "theories" on religion. Still, no matter how debunked some of his ideas have been, they still get brought up as fact by people every so often, u...  [Read More]

And if we were proven right, who'd have egg on their face? US or UN? Option c) the US and the UN. The UN for not finding them, and the US for starting a patently illegal war. Please tell me I'm misreading this. WMDs were the crux of the entire oper...  [Read More]

Iraq did have WMD's, not long after the Gulf War. But I am not stupid enough to just say that. That's not in dispute. You see, I happen to have a triple-digit IQ, Never meant to suggest you didn't. You just read the wrong newspapers and watch the...  [Read More]

Not exactly. They are clearly talking about maintaining operational security on something. Big deal. Operational security isn't illegal. Having instruction manuals that contain the words 'nerve agents' isn't illegal. Making sure you actually have scr...  [Read More]

Not a threat to the homeland, perhaps. These are the shock troops of the enemy, and they are the expendable troops that serve one purpose, as you said: To make our stay in Iraq as painful as possible. Do you actually believe any of that? But obviou...  [Read More]
