Are you itching for a zot too? At least notary was somewhat a decent atheist. You are embarrassing yourself. But then, you always are embarrassing.

Knock yourself out and bite me.

You just don't like honest, reasonable folks with a command of the language.

Are you equating Christ to Allah?

No. christ to mohammed? Certainly.

Are you suggesting killing is immoral?

No, killing is sometimes necessary when somebody deprives another human of life, property or pursuit of happiness.

A good many people live that way. They should not be surprised when the country goes to sh*t as they sit and wait for someone to give reason to act, and then only to shoot.

You say that like it is a bad thing.

Sorry we all leave this flesh journey and return to the Maker whether we believe or not. Might as well accept reality.

The reality is that my father and mother were my "makers", and I hope I don't go back to them.

Wrong. Communism’s atheists have killed millions for not agreeing with them.

That's because they were communists, not because they were atheists.

Maybe in the past..

It is nice that you know about the Inquisition

If you’re an atheist, then ... Where do your rights come from?

The fact that I was born human.

Why do you wear clothes?

I would prefer not to.

Why are there seven days in a week?

The observed rotation of the earth and its orbit around the sun.

How do you know what is good and what is evil?

Evil is what tramples on somebody else's life or property. Everything else is good.

If everything came from nothing out of nowhere, if life is just a curious side effect of an unknowing and uncaring cosmos, if when you die, you are just so much compost, then why seek anything other than a life of self-gratification and a painless extinction?

Exactly.

Whatever any soul places their faith/trust in is their god.

So, if anybody places their faith/trust in themselves alone, they are either an atheist or an anarchist?

Contrast the atheist with the christian or moslem.

The atheist won't kill you for not agreeing with them.

The other two groups have been known to do that frequently, with great vigor and perseverance.

left wing groups are happily proclaiming their conservatism as a means of getting in the door where they can wreak havoc on the GOP.

The GOP has already wreaked havoc on themselves.

That political party is cooked in my book.

Do I wind up voting for them? Yes.

Do I think they end up voting for and representing my belief system? NO.

A virtuous, prosperous society will take measures accountable also to, and for, the neighbor.

I don't care what my neighbor does, unless it is something that demands I shoot him or her.

Yup.

Lets legalize prostitution too-imagine the taxes we could collect!

That's not a bad idea.

I never was able to understand who was the victim in that "crime".

Seems to me like almost any informal contractual arrangement; kind of like filling your grocery cart with stuff and showing up at the check-out stand / line.

I had guns, knives, condoms, contraceptive foam, ammunition, occasionally booze and who knows what in my car in the high school parking lot.

Hell, once I drove one of my dad's work trucks there because my 1964 Corvair had a flat. It had a case of dynamite and blasting caps in the bed.

The FFA boys had bottled oxygen, acetylene, propane, big ol' veterinary hypodermics, big ol' bottles of antibiotics, electric fence chargers and who knows what else.

That was normal in the early 1970's and nobody thought anything of it.

I’m calling B.S. on that.

Happened to me, too.

And no, I have not replaced it and don't intend to.

I will not let my federal government dictate to me what my health insurance has to look like.

They can come find me and lock me up.

This woman hijacked my retirement plan.

I had planned on getting incarcerated somewhere. 3 hots and a cot, free television, climate-controlled living quarters, health care.

Hell, that's more and better than I have now.

Always bring a gun to a dog poop fight.

Send the SWAT team out to curse, handcuff and incarcerate everybody involved and shoot their dogs.

Get the neighbors too.

If only the IRS, the DEA, the bank examiners, in fact the entire lexicon of federal alphabet agencies could learn that you can’t extort money from citizens with armed enforcers, the world would be a better place.
