Christopher Hitchens Interview...

[javaguru]

If I or anyone else came on here everyday and lambasted atheists and said how stupid, moronic, etc they are the way you do to anyone besides atheists, you would go ballistic. You don't see it, but you are more dogmatic than the people you ironically label as such.

Leave people alone.

So you're invoking the Clinton doctrine? Ignore religion and it will go away? Feel free to challenge Atheism everyday HR.....

I'm not dogmatic because if there were scientific evidence of a God then I would believe. My beliefs are constantly open to challenge....science cannot be dogmatic by definition.

HR, Dogma is a religious tenet....

here's a question, where'd the man ass go? just as I was gettin used to it too.........hehe......



hehe, anyway........I do like hitchens although I don't beleive that the universe just came to be, some form of higher power created it or ordered it or whatever.........I've just come to an end with mans definition of god, because it's so god damn self serving and so few see it for what it is. I think "it" is out there and we're supposed to come closer to it throughout our lives.........but it's our own personal fucking journey and not for anyone to "set us on the path" or dictate to us DICK@!@! Those video's of little kids getting brainwashed in evangelical camps makes me want to kill like the son of the sam...........I know people get disgusted over this, but even they I feel don't quite grasp the evil that's being put on those kids.......the usurption of your life's spiritual journey by feckless miscreants at such a young age...........worthy of slaughter, worthy of pain and suffering that would be legendary even in hell!....

See definition number 2. It isnt a religious tenent.

Clinton? Ignore religion and it will go away? First of all, I don't think it needs to go away. I think intolerance, such as yours, should go away.

No one can scientifically prove God exists? No one can scientifically prove he doesn't either, can they?

Seriously, quit being so intolerant towards religion. It is sort of nutty. It makes you appear batty.

I don't find JG to be militant at all. If one does not agree with his point of view then they are free to do so.

I find the information that he has furnished here (that I have bothered to click on) to be interesting and fresh, very helpfull to my personal beliefs including how I feel about faith and organized religion.

It's sorta like my threads about the topic that I feel passionate about: my kids', family court, the judicial system, etc. If anyone feels that I talk about these topics too much (and I do talk about it admittedly a great deal of the time) then they are free not to read those posts.

And I do agree about the separation of church and state 100%, however, that is NOT always the case. One might say that if God were allowed to permeate government then you know damned well that none of what is happening to my family WOULD BE... but it is nonetheless. Or I suppose one could say that *GOD* already did, in the form of Judge Fred Keiser as he sees me and my family *as THE DEVIL* and is doing his level best to "save my children from me TOTALLY ignoring the law at every turn.*

Let's all think on that for one moment.... shall we?
