Hi Vince...read his stuff. Judging by the majority of his works, you'll see that he's pretty much a liberal liberal.

"Those would be thoughts by George Westinghouse ... as opposed to thoughts by Thomas Edison, which were "direct thoughts.""

Should that not be alternating thoughts?

"I don't know about Junior's webstie, but as for the parent organization, we have very strict standards."

I have no idea about his webstie either, but I suspect his website is for the little guy in the organization. You know, the janitors, busboys and computer geeks. I suspect the main site of the organization is for all them bigwigs, being the presidential liberry and all..

Right now the website is very much under construction. I'm reworking the old Ultimate Resource to make it more bandwidth friendly (breaking the pages down by website/article/thread). I'd certainly consider any contributions (non-monetary, of course).

Maybe I should make it the "Official Unofficial Darwin Central."

We have so many unofficial activities -- the Bank of England, the oil industry, Silicon Valley ... we can handle one more.

We are, so to speak, the wayward children of the Gods who are to be loved, to be punished when we are bad, and rewarded when we are good. Now the important thing for public morality is not whether there is such a God or Gods, but that people believe and accept that there are. Without such a guide, people naturally fall into depravity.

This statement clearly states that belief in religion is more important than faith and truth. And the author continues with this view and reaches the conclusion that someone other than God must be the enforcer of their version of the belief in order to have a functional society. Even if it means hiding the truth and lying to the beleivers in orer to maintain their spiritual welfare. By lying, the foundation of a moral society becomes cracked and the people guiding religion become hypocrites, the Scribes and Pharasees, that Jesus held in contempt. The very statement that intellectual dishonest in the name of religion is a virtueot only condones lies, it says they are good. This crosses the line and that faith must be apostate.

Or did the whole "Pope" thing elude you?

No, what eludes me is the blithe moral incapacity of evangelists for God to acknowledge in any responsible adult manner the host of evangelists for God who came before them and murdered and tortured and worse in His name.

I don't have hours upon hours to spend on it, otherwise I honestly would like to. Maybe someday

bookmark it (or archive it) and then tackle it in sections. It is well worth the effort.

Replace "evangelists" with "secularists", and the arguement is the same. Your arguement is thus, pointless, and one-sided.

Also, some clergy in Eurpoe may have done those things. Did they all? Did, in fact, most of them?

You forget. Their were two sides to this.

You also forget, darwinist teachings are what Hitler relied upon to drive home the "superior race" piece.




Also, your arguement is null for another reason. What one's father did is NOT fair for judgement on the child. I liev in the south. Does that make me responsible for lynch mobs?

I was born in Germany (on American soil, but in Germany) does that make me a Nazi?

I'm related to one of the blockade runners in the Opium Wars. Am I a drug pusher?

I thought you people believed there was a difference from one generation to the next.

I just had a visual of a light bulb hovering above your head 'bursting' with light as you had that particular epiphany.

Of course you are right. I think my brain must have suffered a short.
