You have me so wrong on "promised land". Morals are derived through religion throughout history if you look into it. The USA was founded on Christian principles in spite of what revisionists, liberals and democrats say otherwise. You are beyond hope and I am not religious by any means (ask all who know me) but I do know history, have lived in many cultures around the world (not visited but lived, ate and participated in). This is all from close observation as to what I say.

Why not just be honest and say "I don't know." By believing in a supernatural you just may be "discounting [whatever] as mortal imaginations created to explain what cannot be explained." So, you "die and are wrong." So what? You will never know the difference. Why not be honest with yourself and just say, "I don't know but would like to know?" By assuming you know, when you don't know, you are just misleading yourself.

And you don't know.

of course in your opinion,your opinion matters not a bit to me. I can say the same thing you do not know what you're talking about and it's obvious you do not know what you're talking about

It just seems strange to me that my opinion "matters not a bit" to you, when you continue to respond to my "opinions." LOL

Atheists make up about 2% of the U.S. population and account for about .2% of the prison population.

"Conscience is an aptitude, faculty, intuition or judgment that assists in distinguishing right from wrong." If one doesn't have this then being "re-born" is not going to help.

You are right or there would still be beings between apes and man, fish walking out of the sea and all those other "evolutionary anomalies". Why has all evolution stopped (By evolution I mean one species becomming another?) If it is a fact there should be the full gamut of evolving beings in our present world.


Just like ALL other transitional living forms, all the in between transitional forms ALL died out for one reason or another LOL.

I'm doing more than just responding to them, I am correcting them.

You are correcting my opinions (your words, Racmanaz)? LOL. How does one correct another one's opinions? Racmanaz, is now the opinion-corrector. LOL.

I can see how one might want to attempt to influence another one's thinking, but you cannot change another one's opinions, as that would be up to the individual with the opinion. Get realistic.

Your signature does not make sense either.

OH you got it all wrong again, I never said I was trying to change your opinions I said I was correcting them :)

Figure it out; atheists are under represented in prison by a factor of 10. That's one order of magnitude which is quite significant. Without the crutch which you seem to require.

Charles "Tex" Watson has found God. How would you feel about this creep joining your church?

Any New Year's resolutions?

Well, I ain't your school marm, Racmanaz. Dsturr's post was very simply stated, so go back, re-read, do a little thinking, then get back here, and mommy will give you further instructions, if you are still confused.

I don't pay much attention or respond to that stalker troll, why don't you explain it to me since you are not a troll or a stalker. :)

You do not know me, so how can you say what I am or am not?

Just curious, are you still working on defining "truth?"

The problem is that I'm on his ignore list (#1 I believe) so he can only respond through a 3rd party.
