"but if a belief system, no matter how outlandish, is peaceful and manifests no ill-will or bad behaviour"

Asstrology, homeopathetic, any number of benign seeming practices just add to the general belief in things that are not real.
So I would have to disagree, and think that exposing these practices helps mankind in general. And letting them continue would be the threat to the well being of humanity

I think if some one came here spouting tales of reincarnation and karma without saying them in relation to some buddist belief they would be trounced

"I just thought that anyone skeptic enough to proclaim they were atheist would never "believe" in reincarnation, or ghosts, or karma."

I agree. All thru this thread I have been thinking the same thing.
Any time someone brings up god, the devil, miracles, any woo woo
the people here jump all over them like a pack of hyenas. But for some reason budda and the monks seem to get a free ride. More bullshit with no evidence. Is it the Sam Harris factor i.e. We dont want to see that our heroes have feet of clay.

"We musn't make leaps in the dark. Or, if we do, not too many and not too far. We have to build up our understanding carefully from what we know, else we can get fooled.

I think Qster's statement was pretty rational. I dont see how he was promoting making leaps in the dark.

So this criticism of my grammar is a thinly veiled attempt to come to al's aid.

Anna you said this exactly this : "It is also untrue to say that grammar has never been mentioned before on this site. Several people besides myself have commented on the grammar of others".

But I said this : You are the first one who has ever commented on my good grammar, or lack there of.

Now you tell me what was it that I said that was untrue? You have called me a liar ( "it is untrue to say" )
I'm thinking maybe you were in such haste to find my grammatical errors that you forgot to read my post


"Anyway, the point is, your trolling for my grammatical errors are making your arguments carry a lot less weight than they would had you tried even one smidgeon to understand them instead of insult them

this was intended to goof on the last sentence of your previous post

"This obviously suggests that you are not trying."
well not up to the standards of grammatical professor anna


"So since you never made any sort of a real argument, I critiqued your grammar as that was the only choice I had."

You are the first one who has ever commented on my good grammar, or lack there of. And while i am sure your intentions are good, I dont really give a shit. If my forgetting to insert a comma or two has you skipping my post, so be it.
You make the assertion that I am not trying one smidgeon and also that I am not an intelligent rational person. That I am not trying is an assertion that you really cant make , unless you sit with me as I post. And the other is an attack upon me personally, which even in your grammatically perfect world is not rational

"You made some stuff up. Ascribed it to me as a position. You got caught and took off on a vulgar rampage, further humiliating yourself."

I never said that you didnt want to change the constitution, I was asking it in a retorical way. The way you defend the exact written word of the constitution made me believe that you think it could never be wrong ( like your bible ) ( hey I know you are not a christian but fucking ease up a little fucktard)

"" I also said that the right to bear arms is qualified by the pre-conditional statement "well regulated militia". "

Do you think these provisions would have been worded a bit different had jeffererson known about nutters like you hunting rabbits with 20 shot hand guns and ak47's

"This is an issue of states' rights. The Revolutionary War was fought by state militias, the intent of the Amendment was to maintain this system of defense. "

Like I said it is 2008, as of yesterday my state has not gone to war

"As for your "fucktardness". You demonstrated that you were either unable to read or unable to comprehend what I was saying. Thus you are in some way impaired in analyzing an argument."

You assume, as an asshole might, that it is always someone else's fault they dont "get you" Maybe what you write is not as
easy to comprehend for any one but you.

"Can I ask if you are even American? If you are European, it really is none of your business."

This is just another example of your "fucktardness" I am from the usa south florida And what difference would it make if i wasnt . Do you mean to exclude any one who is not from here from voicing an opinion or do you mean that even if they do it is not valid.
