		<description>@Rich:
&quot;And add a little faith, whereby things which are seen were not made of things which are visible, and that’s my logic.&quot;

Cereal boxes are designed / therefor a supernatural designer/creator exists -- ignoratio elenchi (another stupidly asserted fallacy)
What you call logic is puke.  All you are doing is regurgitating what you have been cunningly and deceptively force-fed by the Industry of Religion.
Nothing you have said is your own original thought, not one idea is supported with a shred of factual evidence. 

You are a sucker, a patsy who has unwittingly submitted to inculcation and allowed Religion Inc. to defraud you of your ability to think independently.</description>

		<description>Sorry, Jus, I don&#039;t think much of a god who bases his glory on genocide.

And it doesn&#039;t matter if genocide was God&#039;s solution to evil or the means to another end. It doesn&#039;t change the immorality of it.</description>

		<description>I always liked the line &quot;for good people to do good and for bad people to do bad requires nothing but for good people to do bad requires religion&quot;.    I would change religion to unquestionable dogma, thus we have the actions of Stalin, Mao and Hitler and those who followed them.

I can think of nothing worse than killing someone just because they are wearing a different uniform with the exception of brain washing our youth do kill people just because they have on a different uniform.

Hawks are always ready to send the youth of the nation off to war.  War also pushes our greatest minds to turn their efforts, which otherwise be free to improve life, to making new and &quot;better&quot; ways to kill people.  World War II saw almost all the physicists in our country turned to building the Atomic bomb and chemists at prestigious Ivy league schools turned to creating napalm.

Most people have lost sight of the fact that in both world wars the majority of Americans were against getting involved in European wars.  When events occurred such as the sinking of the Lusitania or the bombing of Pearl Harbor drew us into massive European wars.   Even after Pearl Harbor, where the people wanted revenge against the Japanese it took brilliant propaganda in the form of the Why We Fight films shown in boot camp to convince the recruits that we should go fight Germany first.  Hollywood did the same for the folks at home.  Go on youtube and look at the cartoons done by both Disney and Warner Brothers that are horribly racist but worked well at convincing the citizens that the Germans and Japanese were something less than human and we rallied to support the war.

Vietnam lacked that support because the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations were affraid of rousing American passions in this way because it might lead to war with China or the USSR.  Both Bush Presidents did not make this same mistake.</description>

		<description>Dear, Rev. Griem;

I spent nine years in the USCG. Five* of my nine years were as a SAR helo crewman, going out on dark and stormy nights with four other Coasties to save the lives of strangers.

I spent all of them as an atheist. 

I never thought twice, I never balked; I did my job even when I was scared. Please come call me a big chicken to my face.

* So I don&#039;t sound like I&#039;m making my career full of awesome: the rest of the time spent working in a base grocery store in AK, a buoy tender out of Seattle and aviation training in NC.</description>

		<description>The flood? The Exodus? Been there, done that. I was there on both accounts. All of you were also present at the flood but the Exodus is a personal event although every provision has already been made for your safe passage &#039;out&#039;.</description>

		<description>The Onan story is about neither.  Onan pulled out so as to not fulfill his legal obligations to give a baby to his dead brother&#039;s wife.  He &quot;spilled his seed&quot; on the ground instead of impregnating his sister-in-law.  By refusing, he broke his &quot;responsibilities&quot; to his dead brother&#039;s wife and angered God.  The story has nothing at all to do with either masturbation or any contraception method.</description>
