  Hi Mark- yeah I saw your post but that Network54 server seems to be very slow today so I'm laying low over there for now.

  Nathan-
  Where do you live that there is a waiting period to buy rifles? Here is WA there is no waiting period, you just show up and buy it.

  You can't buy automatic weapons, but I could pick up a rifle in about a half hour from now, including driving time. All those guns he bought in the movie could be bought about as easily as you saw in the movie, except for handguns. I don't think he bought any automatic weapons, but it's been a while since I saw it.

  BTW nice to see a fellow M*A*S*H reference nickname on here. :)

  O'Reilly needs to back to "A Current Affair" where at least his straw man arguments won't be watched by anyone.

  Big whoop. Seeing as how the country is about evenly divided between conservatives and liberals, and 90% of the country supports the military response to the attacks, lumping all liberals in with these nutcases as Berkely is stupid. All it does is show how partisan a person is and how little they pay attention to actual facts.

  Why atheism?

  by Skimmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on varieties of atheism:.

  can we even speak of clear and distinct ideological borders among atheists, agnostics, and theists?

  absent any commonly accepted scientific proof of the existence of god (or gods), we must consider that the labeling is based on an individual's personal interpretation.

  You can't "choose" to be an athiest any more than you can "choose" not to believe in the Tooth Fairy. Lack of belief is the base condition, until proof comes along to show that something exists you don't believe in it.

  Also, nearly all athiests figure out that they are athiests by doing research on the subject. Ours is a Christian culture, most people are brought up believing in God in one form or another. Only after actually examining the evidence does a person realize that there is no proof of God, and at that point by definition becomes an athiest (or an agnostic if you hold out that there might be a god and that lack of proof does not mean lack of existance). Isn't there an expression about that, something like "Non Existance of Evidence isn't the same as Evidence of Non Existance?"

  RunningMan- I like the baby tooth analogy, that is exactly how I came to discover my atheism.

  What's up with the letter writing thing? You have to write a letter and sign it to say your spouse cheated on you? How stupid is that? Sheesh.

  Actually in China you can be killed for disagreeing with the government (Great Leap Forward?). Big difference.

  However, my main point is that pledging allegiance to the flag is kind of silly if you think about it, I'd rather it was allegiance to the Constitution or something meaningful (which is actually what the politicans take and oath to- not the flag).

  The "Under God" part was added in the 50's during the Red Scare, it originally didn't appear in the pledge until then. That's also when "In God We Trust" appeared on all currency. I was only on (I'm guessing here, not positive which) the penney(?) before.

  I never said it WAS Anthrax - it is an ANTHRAX threat. I said it may be a hoax - but none-the-less, the white powdery substance has been publiced here as Anthrax.

  Actually yes you did say it was Anthrax- the subject is More Anthrax - nearby town AGAIN!!!.. If the subject had been "More Anthrax threats" then it would have been clearer. But it didn't say that, the subject makes the inference that it was in fact Anthrax.
