The Bible says (and I didn't write it) that the "fool has said in his heart that there is no God." So an atheist is a fool, according to the Bible. "Thinking himself wise," the atheist becomes a "fool."

Atheists believe that the Bible is merely a very old book of allegories and stories, and that it holds no more authority (moral or otherwise) over them than a copy of Mad magazine. But, as to your point, you'll get no argument from me - with all the evidence to the contrary, atheists are idiots. But, they still have the right to their beliefs, and for somebody to presume to order them to believe in a (g)od is arrogance of the highest order.

What part of the phrase "the right to be left alone" are you having trouble understanding today?

Euthanasia advocates do not believe in God because Jesus said it is better for one to die himself than to harm one of the "little ones."

By your description, the term "little ones" could be used to refer to every person on the planet, and could further be used to justify involuntary cradle-to-grave monitoring, feeding, watering, and housing of those same teeming masses. I'm not prepared to watch my tax dollars be taken from me by a theocracy to feed, water, and house the world. Sorry, but I'm not.

You know, this was a subject that never really crossed my mind. Until I got married. And all I can say, is that if my husband was ever in the state that Terri is, I would NEVER do what the husband to her has done.(Denied her treatments, no flowers of gifts or visits, no exams, ....as soon as the settlement comes in, claim that she instantly is a vegetable........shack up with another person and have a child..... ).I love my husband entirely. I think that is what it boils down to. If you have love in your heart. How can one starve a person that smiles when she sees her parents?

Oh, my, just like a liberal to worry about finances when all other arguments fall by the wayside. Usually a liberal is the first one to advocate spending to "help" others.

So, who has ORDERED an atheist to believe in God? Some Spaniards may have tried such "forced confessions" with the American Indians in the 16th Century.

You are winning your fight for liberalism and euthanasia; yet you attack those who believe the opposite because they will never accept your view. Liberals can be vicious even when they prevail in a public disagreement.
