It's at this point that the cynical loops round to meet the naïve and say in effect that anything is permissible as long as it keeps the illusion alive.

There are the deluded ones and those who knowingly take advantage of their condition...do you want a saint? you got it! do you want two saints? you got them too!

Did they really mean this is politics at its worst? Let the guy have the right to be an intolerant bastard, after all he is only running for president...

And given the host's insight into education, maybe we ought start burning bibles physically as well as intellectually in the classroom.

Amen

6. The Transcendental Argument for God

Comment #108099 by manolo007 on January 6, 2008 at 3:12 am

Only the theist is able to claim coherence and true logic in his arguments because those arguments are founded on the notion of an all-knowing being.

Ludicrous. This means that anyone who 'claim' to believe in god, regardless of education or background, can successfully refute ANY argument against his/her believe framework. As it can be seen in any theist/atheist debate.

7. Atheists don't believe in anything

I believe in TRUTH.

8. If you don't have religion, where do you find your sense of community?

Comment #108086 by manolo007 on January 6, 2008 at 2:42 am

Tricky question. Why do they think that the 'sense of community' is derived from religion in the first place?
Humans are 'social animals', that's why we developed language, to communicate and as a result early societies were born.
Religion doesn't hold monopoly on community sense.

9. What are your qualifications to question religion anyway? Just who are you?

Comment #107682 by manolo007 on January 5, 2008 at 1:24 am

1. You don't need qualifications to ask questions. Do children in school need qualifications to raise their hands and ask a question? Of course not.
2. There are three main abrahamic religions each one claiming to be true, Do they expect not to be questioned? Ridiculous.
3. You do need qualifications to answer questions and in the case of religion the only qualified entity would be god himself, unless you claim to know exactly what his or her or its answer would be. Ludicrous.
