    How would you know........

    How do you know when god is speaking to you? He ain't. If he was, wouldn't be no question. Got a problem with a prophet? Stone 'em. If you're the forgiving sort, you can always ask if he is insane. Any prophet claiming sanity is at odds both with the historical record and scripture (assuming, of...

    Biblical Archaeology; the most stunning proof of God.

    Thanks. I have read some... I was never quite sure what to make of you, but you're mickiel. I'm here in my third incarnation, not because I'm a trool; more because I'm an idiot. Thought I knew what I was doing, but now I'm just doing it. Communicating, for one. Wondering if the label "Christian"...

    Who Created God?

    After the breaking of perfection, a planetoid orbited a stellar binary. The rest of the known universe at that time was rubble; small enough to escape the gravitational attraction of neighboring bodies, too small to cause attraction. And thus it remained, for an age beyond counting. And it was...

    A good atheist goes to hell, but a bad Christian goes to heaven?

    Like most things, it is a matter of reading comprehension. And, it today's world, why read the book when one can watch the movie; in this case, most people I know don't know jack about the Bible. They know what they have been told. They have a minister, or priest, or old man, who always said...

    What is the best argument for an atheist?

    God is an atheist. Thus, being an athiest is truly living as "the image of god." I would say the best argument for being an atheist is the over-abundance of religious nonsense in the world. And, of course, it would depend on whether or not such an argument was ment to be pro-active. For...

    Is evolution as reliable as gravity?

    Is evolution as reliable as gravity? Let me parse that. No. The law of gravity clearly states - things fall down. So, when there's these "things" that happen to "fall," it is generally assumed that the direction of fall shall be downwards. Unless, there's alcohol involved... or, another force...

    Biblical Archaeology; the most stunning proof of God.

    Bibical - archaeology... proof - god... isn't that a little oxymoron-ish? Oh, Mickiel... Best "proof of god," in my book, comes from Exodus. Here's Moses, off on the hill with "the god of Abraham," leaving his flock to tend for itself for forty days... (Leader + Prophet = disaster, in my...

    Why should I have to justify?

    And here's me, with the Mandelbrot set tattoed on my arm... Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Quantum theory right there. I'm sitting in this chair, not because it is sold; but because of electrostatic repulsion. Word of God...

    Why should I have to justify?

    There it is: Bible - unicorn. Evolution in action. I love evolution. Justify? "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord." Go to court, ain't no justice, there is vengeance; and if people dont believe in the system, (hopefully) the system gets changed. My system is real simple - I avoid vagaries like...

    Homosexuality & Religion

    That's funny. I would contend that if we "dropped the ball," god just might elevate some cockroaches. What benefits are given to society by homosexuality? Besides the fact that we've passed the "fruitful multiplying" stage? Beside the general condition that a male of this species has a thing...

    Drug use and the religious.

    Ain't wrote my scriptures yet... but I sure get a kick outta Ecclesiastes - 2:24 A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God... Once upon a time, I heard a rumor that the science of agriculture - the cornerstone of...

    Homosexuality & Religion

    This crap heats my filament. If god wanted yes-men, we'd all be "hail god;" and if we all still followed "the law;" it would be all sackcloth-and-ashes, blood-on-the-linament... and running my neck online on a Sunday?!?! Get the hibatchi out, we've got a live one... For a gross simplification...

    Why the Jesus Myth is illogical.

    Ever since I knew enough to question stuff, I have questioned the historical Jesus. Today, as a bit of anecdote, I found a church to frequent, and the pamphlet indicates - those who accept Jesus as their lord and savior are welcome - which is complicated by the consideration that the guy never...
