Chris Hedges, you do exactly what you criticize others for doing: taking a simple problem and making it complicated. Humans are not inherently evil--they’re inherently stupid. Everything you see and describe in your supposed anthology on the human condition leaves out one overriding (and the only) answer to the question, “Why do humans behave and believe as they do?” and it’s this: The human animal is subintelligent. Furthermore, as to whether or not there is a Darwinian connection, which you deny as the basic thesis of Dawkins and others. . .there is. The connection is the ongoing intellectual evolution of the species known as Homo Sapiens. When the species has developed sufficiently in the gray matter sense, all your talking points will become as dust on the forgotten books on all the forgotten bookshelves of the past.

Hi Jim, At times I get mad at the World to, but who are you really mad at? Are you mad at God or at Christians with twisted beliefs? God is not as evil as you make him out to be. Now some of these so called Christians are not going to Heaven either. That is why God has returned to set the record straight. Just google my name and you can find what he had to say in August 2007. If you can’t do that much you can remain ignorant.

You can read more of what God had to say during the month of Aug. 2007, on this website [url="http://nonprophet.typepad.com/nonprophet/2005/08/are_ you_going_t.html"
rel="nofollow"] Non-Prophet, Are you going to Hell? [/url] Melanie also gives PROOF that God
made contact on this site. The proof is in the story of 3 famous people Mike Douglas, Merv
Griffin and Nancy Reagan. I hope you get it. God went to a lot of trouble to get his message
out. He is also worried about all of his creations. That means he thinks about you too.

Re: 88974

First you qouted me:
“Mass/Energy never disapear
Ever were,ever here”
To ‘this’ you said: “No argument."(?)
‘Then’, you said:“Or, do you believe---it just popped up out of nowhere---.”(?)
I say this is ‘questioning’ what I have stated very succinctly! And, it is a contradiction of “No argument."(?) which I say, amounts to a lie, implied, or otherwise!
Regarding your ‘conceptual’ “God”:
How did you come to believe such stuff?
Who told you about it?
Someone infected your brain with that infectious plague-like disease!
And you have been delusional like a cocaine addict, ever since!
Riding on a cloud, avoiding harsh reality, with a Myth for companionship!
Why do you, and, why should anyone else, believe, in your fairytale “God”?
Why do you believe something never proved?
If you only believe it because other fools do, and it comes from a “book” just like like “Little Orphan Annie”
Why don’t you insist “Little Orphan Annie” is also real? Aren’t they both unproven makebelieve fairytale characters, like your farcical “Jesus”?
You ‘talk’ about an IMPOSSIBLE “BEGINNING”? That never happened!
You cite a filthy, slimy cesspool of sick pornography called “The “Bible” !
And ‘name’ a MAKEBELIEVE FAIRYTALE CREATOR! You call “God”?
Why? There is not one iota of truth, or proof, to support that lie!
Can’t you admit you have been a patsy sap, brainwashed by other fools?
Wake up and “REPENT”?
If you have the minutest bit of ETHICAL, OR MORAL DECENCY left,
beneath the cancerous religion-delusion abscesses of your brain,
and would sincerely want to benefit mankind, you will ‘go’ “cold turkey”
get that ugly felonious monkey off your back, and do everything you
can to atone for all the minds you have destroyed and wasted with the
lies you have perpetrated, and promoted in behalf of those felonious
criminal charlatans who enslave, rape and rob children, and make
them into manipulated mindless robots like you, that your progeny will suffer from.

Re: 88584

Why do you have so much difficulty understanding YOUR very own words YOU write?
I say: It is true that you said: “No argument."(?)
But, then, in “the rest of-(your)- post” you immediately said: “---matter and energy didn’t come from nothing---.” “Or do you believe--- it just popped up out of nowhere---.”
Which questions, and contradicts “no argument”, and amounts to a bold faced lie! Because, you are asserting there once was nothing!
When you say, “I agree with you, and, then disagree, ‘THAT’ IS A LIE!
And the rest of that post is gobbledygook garbage!
There is no question that you are DELUSIONAL, and that somewhere sometime you were mesmerized, or indoctrinated into believing that asinine notion about some kind “Supreme ‘Being’, which you decided to redesign to better fit your own idea of what a makebelieve farcical “God” should be! And apparently, you are still in the process of ‘perfecting’ your new design! You can’t face “Cold Turkey” renunciation!
It seems as though you may be coming to your senses slowly, but you are having a problem facing the fact that for so long, when you thought you were a brilliant example of humanity, you became enslaved to the idea, and enamored by the belief and a mental image of “God”, which you now realize was all a lie and a fantasy, that you should have seen through long ago. So, naturally, it is a shock to your ego, and stirs a slow burning sensation up your spine into your head, to finally accept that you have been a patsy, and a chump!

There is absolutely no ‘reasoning’ behind ‘such’ “postulating”! It’s mere conjecture, speculation,etc.!

You mention:"Supreme---Intelligence"(?) (ABSURD another un-provable absurdity! Ridiculous!)
You say: “I have demonstrated my postulates are not speculative---"(?) (WRONG!) (ANOTHER LIE!)
I say: that statement is another LIE! ‘You know’ that ALL POSTULATES are GUESSES! STABS IN THE DARK! CONJECTURE! IMAGINATION! DREAMS! WILD HOPES!
YOU HAVE ADMITTED IT BY SAYING: “POSTULATES ARE UNPROVEABLE”! DON’T YOU REMEMBER?
AND, ‘ALL’ “POSTULATES” ARE “SPECULATIVE”! WAKE UP!

You are not proving anything to me!

I say, ‘you’ are the “postulates” proponent! I, being an inventor, must keep MY postulates secret; until I protect the ‘end product’ by patent!
And, I have not discussed mathmatics, here; so, you continnue to spin, away from the subject at hand!
I suppose I owe you an apology for believing you are one of those criminal charlatan Evangelical crooks who ravage little kids after convincing them it is the only way they can be granted grace for the “sin” (whatever that means) they were “born’ with”!
But, I have never before known of someone who was ‘not’ a “member of Clergy” that spent so much effort, and wrenched out so much perverted diatribe in an effort to support such tenuous assertions about a makebelieve, fairytale symbol of ones insanity.
And, after all our ebb, and flow of disagreeing verbiage, I can only wonder who, or what is responsible for doing such a masterful job of ‘inducting’ you into the army of imberciles that the ‘Godist’ religious minions epitomize. You appear so ‘addicted’ to that scheme, that I think of those little Muslim kids that thrill at the opportunity to die in an act of MURDERING non-believers, to prove they know better!
Your apparent bewitchment appears so strong that I have no doubt if we were living in earlier times here in the USA, you would try to have me “pilloried” or stoned to death, as a heretic! Such is the depth of your ‘bigotry’, and conviction that a “postulate”, guess, is far better than any established proven fact!
A fully sane, reasonable person would totally reject your “God” if for no other reason than that ‘it’ required absolute bigotry, and rejection and repugnance for one’s fellow man, who did not accept this farce!

I say: Doesn’t this sort of a statement ‘exclaim’ a limitation of a writer’s reasoning powers?
Regardless of how outlandish, illogical, incorrect, or critical that any and all posts addressed to you, “straight(?) talk, appear to you; no one in their right ‘mind’ could ever imagine ANY “8 year old” capable of dealing those death blows to your ego, and your preposterous asinine lying attempts to deceive everyone, that have been incorporated into these pages!
It only remains to be said, that you like many other fools before you, are, by that absurd remark making an hebetudinous, unsucessful effort to stifle the truth by attempting to “discredit the messenger”!
But, I have no doubt that many 8 year olds would laugh you out of sight, if they were not suffering from the same insane delusions you are so sick with!

You are like a broken record, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat absurdities!
I have repeatedly pointed out to you what, ‘even you’ have admitted, i.e., that “postulates” are worthless! guesses in this context! You cannot use postulates to PROVE anything TO ME!
Use postulates to attempt to arrive at a sensible intelligent PROVABLE FACT, then, present the fact!
If you cannot understand this, go immediately to the last school you attended and ask for your money back, or sue them, you are a partially educated illiterate, and a danger to all!
You are extremely confused! You have ADMITTED as much by saying “postulates cannot be proven”,and then asking me to: “show where my postulates are wrong?” (Your words!)
If all you have is postulates, which I have said again, again and you have ADMITTED, “do not prove anything”, then you are a fool not to realize what you are saying!
By your own statement, you are accepting a “POSTULATE” whch “cannot be proven”, as a reason, or fact for believing a figment of your own (postulate, guess, imagination)!
Then to ask someone to argue against the insanity of that kind of assertion, a “guess”, is to ask for company in your own little corner of your insane world! Which ‘I’ refuse to join!
Simply stated: YOU’RE NUTS!
You talk about “logic” but you are illogical! You need to have someone read back to you several of your posts so you may come to realize how very illogical your ridiculous persistance in offering postulated guesses as proof of something!
Though “postulated” guesses are used to help arrive at what may become a valid conclusion, they of themselves, do not PROVE ANYTHING!
And I do not wish to debate the possible validity of an idiot’s “postulated” guesses!
Instead of babbling a diatribe about the relativivity of postulates to logical deductions,
use the information to PROVE SOMETHING!
I don’t need that info, you do! so follow it, to it’s “logical” conclusion, and see if you can come up with anything other than your inane, asinine, farcical conception of a delusion!
Haven’t you stolen enough from your flock of innocents, and fools? Why not stop all the lies, and try somehow to ‘atone’ for all the rotteness you have caused those whose lives you have touched, and their
progeny, who will also suffer as the result of the branding, mesmerizing, indoctrination you have used to warp their forebears minds? You people all belong in jail!

Re: 87274

You have said: “I have given compelling reasons---?” AN OUTRIGHT LIE!
You have also said: “I think there are---compelling reasons"(?) THIS PROVES YOU’RE A LIAR!
I say: ‘That’ statement “---think there are---reasons”, says it all! It means: you have not “given---reasons! And, PROVES YOU’RE A LIAR!
Then, You say: “You have not shown WHY my postulates(?) are ‘unreasonable’ or unfounded.”
I say: Who cares about your “Postulates” ‘they’ are ‘NOT’ “REASONS”! You are lying when calling them reasons!
Then you ‘ADMIT’: “Postulates are not provable---."(!) (Your own words!) Stop “postulating”!
I have repeatedly said, or implied you can not provide one iota of proof, or a valid reason for your invented makebelieve fairytales “God”!
How can you lie so much, and so often, and then keep teling lie after lie in an attempt to support all the rest of your repeated lies, without knowing that you are doing it?
You say:"---(No) readers--- have---critiqued --- my postulates (claims)---?
This is but another audacious lie!
I have repeatedly said, or implied, that your “postulate” (claimed) (’Godist’ ) “Creator God” or other conceptual idea of “God” you may have, is an absurd!, makebelieve fairytale tool of charlatans like you, used to enslave innocent children, and fools! Prove otherwise!
Where, from whom, or how did you ever come to imagine such a stupid idea?
Your problem is that ‘you’ have accepted (without proof) something that neither you, nor anyone else, can prove ever existed, and, based on your HALUCINATORY acceptance of a virtual “pig-in-a-poke” you want others to believe what you absolutely, have no valid reason for believing!
If you were the least bit HONEST, and serious, about truth, you would endeavor to find a valid reason for your surrender to such an overpowering addiction, that has caused your outlandish renunciation of sanity in favor of a benumbing, fawning delusionary idolatry that has deprived you of your innate reasoning!
WHY do you believe this great lie?
Where’s the evidence?
How did you first come to believe in this illusory, chimerical conception?
Who told you about such a ‘thing’ ?
What made you accept that person’s ‘word’ about ‘it’?
If after a very thorough research, you came to realize that what you have accepted as true, and believed in for so long, was beyond any doubt whatsoever, totally incompatable with reason, or fact; do you believe you have the mental power to withstand the the hurtful shock to your ego, that admitting to yourself would cause, from knowing you have been a victim, a patsy, and a fool, to have ever believed the lies that caught you so unprepared to deal with it, from the very first?
“POSTULATES” do not prove anything, and are totally worthless as PROOF for anything at all!
You have said: (Outlandishly!) “---God---"creates(?) from within---"(?)
I say: Prove it! What does your delusion of “God” create?
Aren’t you sensible enough to realize that what cannot be proven, is not fact, but folly? And that claims are worthless unless supported by facts, PROOF!
You say: “Postulates” are not provable."(!) (Your words!)
So, why, when you admit ‘they’ are ‘worthless’, do you ask someone: to “show- why, (your) “postulates” are unreasonable or unfounded."(?) (worthlesss!)
Not proveable, means: guesswork, speculation, conjecture, infer, suppose, surmize, suggest, imply, hint, intimate, unfounded, without reason, fallacious, containing fundamental errors in reasoning: false, illogical, invalid, sophistic, specious, spurious, deceptive, delusive, ‘delusory’, illusive, illusory, unsound, misleading, assumption, ‘postulate’, without ‘proof’, judgment, estimate, or opinion arrived at by ‘guessing’, and implauseable!

Your problem is that ‘you’ have accepted (without proof) something that neither you, nor anyone else, can prove ever existed, and, based on your HALUCINATORY acceptance of a virtual “pig-in-a-poke” you want others to believe what you absolutely, have no valid reason for believing!
If you were the least bit HONEST, and serious, about truth, you would endeavor to find a valid reason for your surrender to such an overpowering addiction, that has caused your outlandish renunciation of sanity in favor of a benumbing, fawning delusionary idolatry that has deprived you of your innate reasoning!
WHY do you believe this great lie?
Where’s the evidence?
How did you first come to believe in this illusory, chimerical conception?
Who told you about such a ‘thing’ ?
What made you accept that person’s ‘word’ about ‘it’?
If after a very thorough research, you came to realize that what you have accepted as true, and believed in for so long, was beyond any doubt whatsoever, totally incompatable with reason, or fact; do you believe you have the mental power to withstand the the hurtful shock to your ego, that admitting to yourself would cause, from knowing you have been a victim, a patsy, and a fool, to have ever believed the lies that caught you so unprepared to deal with it, from the very first?
Aren’t you sensible enough to realize that what cannot be proven, is not fact, but folly?
And “POSTULATES” do not prove anything, and are totally worthless as PROOF for anything at all!
You have said: (Outlandishly!) “---God---"creates(?) from within---"(?)
I say: Prove it! What does your delusion of “God” create?

I Say: You are a ‘disgusting’ LIAR! You have not offered even ONE REASON! for any one to accept your so called, absurd “POSTULATES”!

Thanks for reading my posts, and your (free) critique. Don’t mess up your ‘Alb’ with sputtering spittle.
You say: “received---unfounded(?) accusations of irrationality, insanity and believing in fairy tale stories;---"(?)
I say: You must be a drug addict! No one in their right mind would lie so OUTRAGEOUSLY!
I say: “Accusations” of irrationality, insanity, and believing in fairy tale stories---"are extremely ACCURATE! when discussing someones ‘belief’, or ‘faith’ in something totally falsle, absolutely impossible to prove, a figment of a charlatan’s evil criminal mind, and the delusional symbol that induces people like you to be the asinine blowhard verbose bigot you are.
If you wish someone to believe in your ‘Godish’ fetish, all you need do is present some ‘proof’ that such a ‘thing’ ‘IS’ REAL!, and not a makebelieve, fairytales, device, used to lure innocents, and imbeciles ‘like you’ into a form of slavery to an irrational conception of life, and a world of mindless delusion that causes the type of bigoted agressive attacking misstatements, and a ‘pedantic’ attermpt to demean, belittle, and insult the intelligence of someone who is by far, light years, your mental superior!
YOU ARE TOTALLY CONFUSED! ‘YOU’ ‘IDIOTS’ ARE THE BELIEVERS!
We, The rational ones! who accuse ‘you’ criminal idiots of lying and chicancery, and warping innocent children’s minds with your schemes are the NON-BELIEVERS!
Sane, rational, people do not ask, nor expect others to PROVE the non -existance of “santa Clause’. the “Tooth Fairy” “Mickey Mouse” or other makebelieve, fairytales entities such as a “Creator-God” and “little Orphan Annie”!
Sane, rational people KNOW these are comic, or farcical conceptions, and do not, nor have they ever existed except in the minds of storybook writers! Or, in the case of the “Creator-God”, in the ‘heads’ of all you, the DELUDED ‘MINDLESS’!
Don’t demand others to prove you are a liar! The proof is in your absurd twisted assertions!
You talk about “logic”! Isn’t it logical to you that what does not exist does not need to be proven not to exist?
Your problem is that ‘you’ have accepted (without proof) something that neither you, nor anyone else, can prove ever existed, and, based on your acceptance of a virtual “pig-in-a-poke” you want others to believe what you have absolutely no valid reason for believing!

Happy Friday to All!
Why can’t our dear, great world leaders spend the abundant resources we are gifted with toward the welfare of all mankind… instead of on these destructive wars?
The turmoil you see and hear in Afghanistan and present day Pakistan was not seen or heard of during one era in their history… and that was when the Buddhist leaders ran those countries… Their only secret was the belief in nonviolence and respect for all life.
Why are the present day Devout/Faithful so angry, confused and destructive?
Wishing everyone a fun weekend,

You say: “You can’t prove God doesn’t exist.” (?) THIS IS ANOTHER OF YOUR ‘PEARLS!
Is it your custom to require people to prove the non-existance of things ‘not existing’?
Your delusion is much deeper than I could have believed!
I have provided you with the means to resolve all your dilemma while retaing a portion of your sanity, and a ‘piece’ of your ‘split’ personality; but you instead are attempting to sidestep the issue by asking ‘me’ to “disprove” ‘for you’, the ‘un-proven!
No one ‘in their right mind’ would EVER ask someone to PROVE that a ‘conjectured’ image, or makebelieve fairytales character does not exist!
No one ‘in their right mind’ would expect someone to prove the unproven!
No one ‘in their right mind’ would ask someone to ‘prove’ there is no “Santa Claus”!
No one ‘in their right mind’ would ask someone to prove their is no “Tooth Fairy”!
No one ‘in their right mind would ask someone to prove their is no “God”!
Have you ever had any success proving ‘anything at all’ that never existed, does not exist?
If so, What formula did you use? And please tell us ‘all’, just ‘what’ ,’you’ proved never existed?
I am insisting that: “something is NOT TRUE, that cannot be proven TO BE TRUE”!
This is a statement of ‘fact’ that no one ‘in their right mind’ would question or ask to be proven!
If there is absolutely no evidence for the ‘existance’ of something, there certainly is no ‘evidence’, nor need their be for the ‘non-existance’ thereof!
You say: “I think there are---compelling reasons(?) to postulate the existence of God---"(?)
What? What? No more “certainty”? Am I finally penetrating that denseness? Maybe there’s hope?
Why not elucidate?
What are those “---compelling reasons---?
In your “Continued from previous post” You say: “People have challenged my opinions---(by) “make"-ing broad statements of disagreement.”
I say: “Broad statements” of unsubstansiated assertions about non-existing ‘entities’ that belie facts,
are best answered by “broad statements” correcting the both the insideous delusionary farcical assertions, and the narrowmindedness of the asserter!

Re: 86261

You say: “---define---terms---"(?) (MORE DELUSIONS!)
I say: re-writing the dictionary, is not “defining” ones “terms”!
Dictionary words ‘do’ have definite meanings!
Have someone, (not one of your religious fanatical delusional friends) explain the difference between “defining” a “term” and using a word that is a well-"defined" dictionary term! IN A DICTIONARY!
You then will find that your attempt at re-definition and altering the meaning of a word thereby, is so ‘far fetched’ that only a fool could imagine or conceive of any connection between your ‘meaning’ and fact!
So much for your so called idea of “communication”?
Then, you say:"---your beliefs are different."(?) (Certainly different from your DILUSIONS!)
I say: ‘this’ is another of your idiotic assertions and remarks!
Aside from the fact that ‘you know’ that ‘I’ “believe” ‘you’ are: a delirious, delusional, fanaticlly religious charlatan who hypnotizes and indoctrinates innocent children and fools into that criminal ponzi-racketeering, swindling, infectious plague-like disease of ‘Godism’; and, that I despise all of you who are responsible for warping the minds of those little innocent children who are often the victims of proselytising paedophile pastors, ministers, priests, and others of ‘your’ ILK, ‘YOU’ ‘DO NOT’ KNOW WHAT ‘I’ “BELIEVE”!
And, except for those who are also, delusional like you; from merely reading some of my postings here, only a fool would speculate that I am “narrow-minded”!
Do you also believe that in addition to denyiing your “Godist idea”, that those who deny the existance of “Santa Claus”, and the “Tooth Fairy” are therefore “narrow minded”?
Perhaps YOUR mind is too, too, broad, if it is the cause of your halucinations!

As you know, the farcical “Godist” figure they idolize is merely a tool of the rotten charlatans that rape little kids; and, the word “God”, during Mythological times actually referred to every type of horror and evil the world knew of at that time. Isn’t it therefore horrifically ironic that what once represented the worst sort of evil; some idiots, now use to frighten little kids with; only they tell them (the evil) “God” is “Great”?

But, there you go again, lying! lying! lying! MORE OF YOUR DELUSIONS!
I say: SECULAR NON-BELIEVERS, “ATHEISTS” DO NOT MAKE UP DEFINITIONS!
Why do you so strenously refuse to acknowledge the validity of DICTIONARY definitions that are accepted by literate people throught the entire world, instead of repeatedly insideously attempting to insinuate your simple minded conceptions of word meanings, that are so far fetched, noone but you, know what they mean?
You say:"---intelligence operating in the cosmos---” This is just another of your quirky ideas of a definitiion, which in no way presents the least bit of evidence to PROVE such a ridiculous outrageous THING!
Realists, people who reject lies about un-proven assertions, including ‘your’ “God”; ‘however’ YOU re-define ‘it; call ‘it’ what it absolutely IS, a FARCE! If you want to accept, and refer to this as a ‘new’ definition, you are welcome to. I call it a valid description of what you apparently deem a “Creator” of some ridiculous undefineable sort except to your deluded excuse for a mind!
As I have said before, you need a pschiatrist! Get help! before you get any worse, maybe it’s not too late?
And you might save the lives of some of those kids you otherwise would ‘screw-up’ with your delusionary criminal propaganda! REPENT! GET THAT ‘GODIST’ MONKEY OFF YOUR BACK!

Greetings Everyone!
Thanks for your input on the subject of Faith!
As we are currently experiencing great dangers and conflicts largely due to Faith, it is mandatory that the free thinkers speak up and make their voices heard.
Reasoning does not seem to be a concern of the devout. All they generally expect is just to believe what they say and join their path… It does not matter how destructive the consequences can be…
In reality, all I experienced in this life was just the constant interactions with mankind. The rest I see… is our beautiful planet with its abundant natural resources and beauty.
While I’m here, I would love to enjoy every moment of this human experience as a free soul, a free spirit. I do not wish to be burdened with Faith while this life of mine lasts…
When it is time to leave, I will leave it with immense gratitude for the privileges I have enjoyed. What happens next is to be seen… or may never be seen…
In-the-meantime, I end this note with love & best wishes to all,
DSA

This is an important message. Please read and pass it along. I have a message to tell you about
Revelation. The message is from God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost respectively sent in the Spring of 2006. It is about the meaning of First is Last and Last is First . The message is this: In the morning I go to Heaven. In the afternoon I live my life. In the evening I die, death. What does this mean? In other words this means Birth is Last and Last is Birth. To understand this don’t think from point A to point B. Think of this as a continous circle of life. Birth, Life, Death, Birth. God also said that Judgment will be before Birth in Heaven. As birth on Earth is painful so will birth in Heaven. It is possible that this message was delivered by one of God’s Angels. Yes, God has recently made contact and he sent a messenger. Spread this message along, just like a chain letter. Tell two people. OH, one more thing of interest. Did you know that Mike Douglas dies on his birthday. Melanie Stephan

Re: 83666 Hello DSA;
Thank you for your good ‘thoughts’ about Sam Harris, See: http://www.truthdig. com/report/item/20070529_sam_harris_fights_back/
He too, like Rushdie, has taunted a gigantic man-eating octopus, and must take many precautions to prevent a repeat of the Madalyn Murray O’Hair debacle that the “Religious “faithful” fanatics do a dance of joy over!
Although I too am thankful for “The End of Faith”, I believe no one has come within a ‘light year’ of pointing to, or discussing the ‘epic’ proportions of the ever broadening destructive criminal influence, evil intentions, designs and calamitous results of the Religious “Faith” Organization’s unwavering pursuit of total Theocratic domination our once Democratic, USA, and the entire World!
How many people can even imagine: any ‘one’ organization of any kind, that can, and does accumulate, free from taxes, every day, more money, including donations of taxpayers hard earned funds that are contributed to them by G. W. Bush’s “Faith"-based" operations, than any other company, business, or other type of honest enterprise in the world, accumulates in one month?
And, how many people can even imagine: the amount of influence all this ill gotten wealth is able to purchase?
Through the use of all type “Holding Companies” and many other similar methods of hiding ownership, the Religious Organizations own, or control a major portion of all Media, including newspapers, radio stations, publishing houses, television stations, and, many Congressmen, and Senators, plus G. W. Bush, and Dick Chaney!
These same Religious “Faith” Organizations have repeatedly caused our ‘bigoted’ Congress, and ‘bigoted’ US Supreme Court, to deny, and violate many parts of our US Constitution, and The Bill Of Rights!
These same Religious “Faith” Organizations have repeatedly supported, and influenced the installation of G.W. Bush a ‘bigot’, and Military Deserter, into the White House!
These same Religious “Faith” Organizations continually object to, and repeatedly violate the Constitutional Law: “Separation of Church and State!
These same Religious “Faith” Organizations repeatedly deny “woman’s rights”!
These same Religious “Faith” Organizations use the “Pulpit” to electioneer and promote religious bigot candidates for elective office, and use big bushels of their money lucre to help this happen!
These same Religious “Faith” Organizations also use bundles of money to pay lobbyists, and influence all Congressional actions that are destructive of our Democratic way of life and detrimental to all US citizens!
These same Religious “Faith” Organizations fight against any and all means of limiting family size, including medicines that prevent childbirth, because without innocent children to brainwash, mesmerize, brand, and indoctrinate into their fantasy world of ‘Godism’ their Religious Organizations would soon ‘dry up’ and go out of business!
Of course this is but a mere minute insight into the monstrous behemoth the ‘Ponzi-like’ racketeering Religious “Faith” Organizations embody and represent, and the perpetual horrific infectious plague-like disease they are ever more widely spreading every hour of every day through the means of newspapers, radio, and television, and even door-to-door-proselytising!
And, if we secularists, the rational ‘ones’, don’t soon confront this war on sanity and reason, before long, if it is not already too late, we will be surrounded, smothered and inundated by the horrible putrid dung these Religious “Faith” Organizations are everyday filling the airwaves, and earthly environment with!

So! You’re at it again?
First, You are doiing your ‘damnedest’ trying to re-define “FAITH”?
Dictionary:
FAITH: Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence!
And you’re are trying a ‘new tack’? Another ‘AFFRONT’ at RE-INVENTING a lost-cause farcical “God”?
You say: “Not all theists consider God as “supernatural”.(?) This is an outright lie!
Dictionary:
GOD: An image of a “supernatural” being; an idol.(!)
“If you don’t realize this, you are dangerous to both yourself, and the rest of humanity!”
And, anyone who thinks, or ‘pretends’ otherwise, is either an imbercile, an escapee from a ‘Nuthouse’, or a thieving charlatan (like you?) seeking to perpetuate the schemes and tricks used to prey on, and enslave innocent children, and fools (like you?), give them ‘inferiorty complexes, and compel them to kneel and
plea for ‘grace’ for their “sins” (whatever that means) which often is only granted in return for criminal
sexual perversion.
You say a/o imply: ‘in effect’, “It is) “My personal view--- (that) God (did not) “create” “nature” “from outside of nature”! “---not a “supernatural” agent acting from outside.”
(Rather; once “nature” existed? “God”, as a “fully natural(?) ‘abstraction’ (?) within nature”, ‘THEN’, ‘CREATED’ nature"(?) (and all the the rest of everything?)
With your ‘warped’ and ‘twisted’ method of making asinine deductions, your mental numbness has accidently finally brought you closer to the ‘actual’ TRUTH!
The absurdity of imagining that ANY ‘THING’ was ever required to CREATE what already, and ALWAYS EXISTED!
Mass/energy never disappear

WITH NOTHING TO CREATE A ‘SO-CALLED’ CREATOR-GOD

You are SICK, and getting SICKER! You had better see a Psychiatrist!
I am by now ‘MORE CONVINCED’ you are one of the ilk of that gang of criminals: Falwell, Haggard, Pat Robertson, Jerry Brown, James Dobson, the Pope, etc. etc. who LIE, and steal money from little kids, and convert them through mesmerizing, branding, indoctrination into automaton shills for spreading your rotten cancer of the mind disease to other little childrens minds so they all become robotic donaters of money to sate your filthy, slimy insatiable greed!
Why else would you lie so much? And keep insisting that FARCE IS FACT?
You certainly KNOW that “God” is a farcical tool of rotten crooks! And that it was originally used to describe every type and sort of evil in mythology, the forerunner of all religions!
And that “there NEVER, was a BEGINNING”, thus no “first cause” “Creator God”!
It might help your weak and distorted conception of the world to dwell on the question that: if there WAS a so called “Creator God”, who, or what CREATED the “Creator God”,? And, Who or what created that which created the one that created the “Creator God”? And IF you say that “God” ALWAYS WAS”? Then you are in fact describing the UNIVERSE! That “ALWAYS WAS”!
Wake up! And stop lying! You cannot fool sensible people who have not caught that discease.
And I am certain most others here realize you are just another of those ‘lying crooks’ who seek to hypnotise and enslave more little kids so as to do dirty things to them!

that you are an asinine fool to believe, or have “faith” in, a make-believe, fairytales assertion of charlatan thieves that there is such a thing as a “Creator-God”!
The very least you should do if you have any respect for the integrity of your ‘highly intelligent’ mother, is, to, ask her to tell you why she is an atheist, and why she does not believe in the “God” you believe in!
You say:"--only true God...” makes an awful lot of presumptions---”
You have said: “I am an Evangelical Minister” (!)
So! You therefore believe “There is only one True God!”
And, according to ‘your’ “faith”, “anyone who denies “God” is, in ‘your’ “faith” a “mortal sinner”!
I do not know why you would call this a “sarcastic”, “presumptuous” “accusation”!
And why do you say: “--- (the above) has no application in my life and faith.” (?)
PS: I am an Associate Member of CSI, a Member of CFI, and a subscriber of both Skeptical Inquirer, and Free Inquiry! But I haven’t seen you at any of the meetings?
Are you a momma’s boy?

You say :“Chris Hedges has taken religious double talk to a new level of insanity. That’s all there is to his rant.”
I say: BRAVO! You are so very right! Please read on:
Re: Chris Hedges: “I don’t Believe in Atheists”
Chris Hedges is ‘off his rocker’!
Hedges says: “Sam Harris has conflated faith with tribalism.
I say: Blind “faith” is the fuel of religious tribalism! FAITH ‘is’ “conflated” with the “tribalism” of religion!
I say: Sam Harris wrote about the destructive “faith” of religious fanatics!
Dictionary
“faith”: Belief without logical proof or material evidence.(!)
The body of dogma of a religion:
A set of principles or beliefs.
Dictionary
“conflate”: To bring together
To combine into one whole. (RELIGIOUS CONGREGATION!)
Dictionary
“tribalism”: The organization, culture, or “beliefs” of a tribe.(!) (GODISM!)
Dictionary
“tribe”: A group of people sharing an interest, or habit.(!) (RELIGION!)
Dictionary
“monotheism”: The doctrine or belief that there is only one God.(!) (Godism!)
Hedges says: “What he (Harris) fails to grasp is not simply the meaning of faith(?)— but the supreme importance of the monotheistic traditions in creating the concept of the individual."(?)
(This is an absurd lie!)
I say: “Monotheism” “faith” in “God”, enslaves; and absolutely destroys “the the concept of the individual”!
I say:Hedges begins his statement with ranting accusations and outlandish lies! And then, in order to support his atrocious lies, he raves on, and on with a stream of ‘mumbo-jumbo’ doubletalk that creates the impresssion he is so fanatically addicted to the idea of a “Creator-God” that where he sees increasing opposition to the gigantic ‘spoof’ from ever more ‘quarters, he decided he would try his hand at ‘re-inventing ‘God”.
And, like so many before him, he fails! So much for his farcical ridiculous self-destructive diatatribe!
