Flashy "Bible" seeks to inspire the ADHD generation (WalletPop)

Oct 13th 2008 9:32AM "Religion is a major weapon in the war against reality."

"Help preserve your child's belief in Santa Claus. Tell him or her that Santa will send them to hell if they don't believe in him."

"Like all religions, the Holy Religion of the Invisible Pink Unicorn is based upon both Logic and Faith. We have Faith that She is Pink; we Logically know that She is Invisible, because we can't see Her."

"Although it is said that faith can move mountains, experience shows that dynamite works better."

"If the Bible is mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust it to tell us where we're going?"

"Christianity is an appeal to selfishness. It is a promise of a great reward in the future which is bought with faith, obedience, time, effort, and money in the present."

"Christians believe that the most wonderful thing that can happen to them is to go to Heaven, but few of them are in a hurry to make the trip."

"The pig is taught by sermons and epistles to think that God has snout and bristles."

"I am treated as evil by those who feel persecuted because they are not allowed to force me to believe as they do."

The scientist yearns to find and eventually know the truth;
The religious man wants the truth to fit his preconceived mold. So, as a result...
The scientist alters his perception to conform to the facts;
The religious man tries to change the facts to conform to his beliefs.

"To become educated is to move from cocksure ignorance to thoughtful uncertainty."

Oct 13th 2008 9:16AM Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"
Priest: "No, not if you did not know."
Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"

Oct 13th 2008 8:58AM A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
- Albert Einstein

Oct 12th 2008 10:06AM OK G.L.

What you offer up as evidence is not evidence at all. Your lack of understanding of the origins of life and evolutionary biology force you to come to conclusions based on what you observe as evidence. With all due respect, your conclusions, logic and reasoning are utterly sophomoric assertions. Truth by assertion is not truth at all.

You assert that you know there is a God because some ancients who lived in the bronze age, wrote all of it in a book and you believe it without question. You use the physical world around you that you observe in your non-understanding way, to attempt to reinforce your beliefs and what you have been taught to believe.

You are a victim of dogma based on myth and superstition, and are not a true critical thinker. Oh well.....there are millions of others like you out there.

Oct 12th 2008 8:57AM To Pete....
Your logic and reasoning are correct and most apprpriate. Educated people know that the story of Noah is based on the "Epic of Gilgamesh" an ancient Sumerian who supposedly built a boat and put some of his animals on it during one of the many floods that menaced people in those days. Many religions plagerize other religions to suit their own intentions. The Old testament is notorious for following this practice.

I have noted so much ignorance and non-knowledge in this discussion that it certainly drives home, how much religious people really don't know about the very religions that they propose to believe in. Ignorance and bigotry is the true danger to mankind.

Oct 12th 2008 8:34AM Everyone has a right to believe whatever they choose. However, believing is not the same as knowing. Believing strongly in something that may or may not be, without any evidence is rather foolish I think. I don't want to believe..........I want to know.

Religion makes many feel good.......but, then so does cocaine.

Oct 12th 2008 12:05AM I am dismayed that in the 21st century, the peoples of the earth are still pervaded by this sickness of the mind called religion. I listen to all the hate and self rightousness that is displayed in this discussion and have to wonder if there will ever be any hope in overcoming these childish and stupid beliefs in myth and superstition that have plagued mankind for so long, resulting in immeasurable death and misery to so many innocent people.

Religion is the worst horrible and most destructive scam that has ever been laid upon mankind. The Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition and of course, 9-11 come to mind just for starters. Religious zealots are too stupid to realize that the very beliefs they think are the answer to the world's problems, in fact are the root causes for so much misery.

Religion is the real evil.

Oct 11th 2008 3:01PM All three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam and their books of spiritual guidance intended, are a mixture of myth, superstition, history and personal interpertation of reality thrown in by ancient people's own ideas of the reasons for their existence and events they could not hope to understand.

This new book is nothing more than just another update and revision, joining many in the past, to interject up to date thinking and nomenclature,( and to make money) to more fit today's everyday life habits and desires.

My personal feeling, and I consider myself quite well read, is that I have never read anything written or recorded by people who lived in the late bronze age, or anywhere else, that would convince me that a God or Designer of the Universe exists at all. However, if someone could prove me wrong, I would not be disapointed.

Keep in mind that Truth by assertion is not truth. Believing, no matter how dedicated, is not the same as knowing. Many confuse these two.

Marriage: In Your Mate's Genes? (Personal Articles)

Sep 3rd 2008 5:57PM Anyone who has even a rudimentary knowledge of anthropology and evolutionary biology, knows why men stray. Modern society and culture and it's constraints, is fighting a losing battle against millions of years of evolution. The instinctual need to ensure that ones genes make it into the future as much as possible with healthy reproducing mates, far out weighs any feeble attempts by cultural restraints to the contrary.

Has King's Dream Been Fulfilled? (Blackvoices Main)

Aug 28th 2008 12:44PM "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." --Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is where King had and most black people have it wrong. Whites judge people, not by the color of their skin, but by their character and personal conduct. They always have. Blacks use use this falsehood to justify their own shortcomings. My experience in observing blacks throughout my lomg life has proven this out, without a doubt. It just doesn't wash anymore.
