Wow, are you saying WildTurkey is the Devil?
How juvenile.
I said the doctrine that God is the author of evil comes straight from the Devil.
I never said all who repeat this accusation are "the Devil".
Well, just d@mn! You do have some real insight, don't you?
Appearances are not deceiving! ;^)
We are in agreement, but even with stem cell research I doubt that there would be much political ramification short of an outright ban. I just don't think people are gonna get that worked up over the federal government inadequately funding a particular type of research when they perceive that other sources of funding will compensate just fine. An outright ban even on private research would be a whole 'nother matter altogether, and that would raise a great hue and cry.
hmmm. God decides to create the BTK and knows all the evil and harm the BTK will cause to innocent people but God goes ahead and creates him all the while knowing exactly what he will do. If the BTK had free will to do otherwise, then God must not know what he will do. Therefore, either God knows and there is no free will OR God does not know.
Too funny
You should listen to yourself - you think that is reasoned discourse? Just more invective, hand waving and psychobabble.
Again, nothing substantive.
let me repeat myself:
But drop me a note when you have something meaningful to say, just spare me the hectoring, please. It does not have the effect on of me that you evidently are looking for.
It is just nettlesome, I doubt that you could insult me.
Oh, an inclusive, "plural" use of the English pronoun "You" is quite acceptable, as you should well know. My meaning is clearly stated by my phrase:
Really, you evos and IDers.
Honestly.
You are just proving my point about how "you people" (perhaps you would prefer "Youse guys") with all of these attacks on anyone that disagrees with "you"in any form whatsoever. "You" may chose not to believe me, but "the public" finds this irksome. But go ahead, perhaps they will find "you" as impressive as you find "yourselves." (Note the plural usage here.)
You know, if you actually worked in an real, professional scientific institution and tried this tactic, you would get fired.
But then you would not know about that, now would you? (now here I mean it in the singular)
There is a correlation between age and your observation but I'm fighting it with every ounce of my strength. :-}
Yep, ain't that the truth. Thus the attraction of stem cells. :) Keep hope alive.
What an infantile response
According to this warped logic someone could go out and commit murder and then tell God it is REALLY His fault because He created them in the first place.
They frequently do.
Only a totally wicked ingrate would abuse the gift of life God gives them to commit evil and then turn around and blame God for it.
Remember, that 'wicked ingrate' is one of God's creations
Well a Hell it must be believing your Creator is an evil sadist. I'll pray for you.
How about praying for the future victims of the next BTK?
I hope you will come to realize the Lord is merciful and loves you and wants to forgive you.
The Lord is merciful? Tell that to the victims of the BTK.
Doesn't get any more left wing than this beauty of a statement. Individual responsibility doesn't do it for ya, eh Turkey? You screw up, you blame God. If that doesn't work you blame the government. And if all else fails you blame your baby sister.
A heads up for you. There is a lady in Vermont whose son was killed in Iraq. She has had it up to the gills with Mrs. Sheehan and her fellow travelers and is gonna start demanding "equal time". You heard it here first.
When you begin statements with "do you really think" then you are attributing what follows to me, not to some abstract community of evolutionists in general. The answer is: no, I don't really think that, and never did, so go find someone who does and argue with them.
Then you compound that with this supercilious, condescending tactic of proclaiming that you don't really care about the discussion anyhow, so what does it really matter what the other person says in reply, because it's no big deal anyhow, and you weren't even talking to them anyway. You lump me in with some imagined community, attack me obliquely, and then expect me to either humor your tactics or just 'suffer' the attacks, even while declaring that it doesn't matter what I say anyhow.
But, as I always say, every problem has a solution! Check out the bottom of my profile page. Toodles!
They frequently do.
Ok. So you subscribe to the God hating rational of the criminal mind?
Is that why you are here promoting their viewpoint?
What did God ever do to you to deserve this kind if contempt?
Hey, I'm a social conservative firmly routed in Ludditism, Beaver Cleaverism and apple pie. If 15 will get you 20 what will being attracted to a day old stem cell get ya?
There was a special on the battle of Falujia (sp) on Fox News I think, and the father, Mr. Blacksmith, of one fallen hero, a second lieutenant leading his men shot threw the heart by a bullet that sneaked under his flack jacket, who had everything going for him, looks, charisma, intelligence, athletic prowess, wealth (the parents lived in what appeared to be a mansion in a very tony zip code of SoCal, gave a very moving testament to the fact of the selfless intelligence of most parents of the fallen. They lost their only son, and were devastated, but knew it was not all about them. It was about so much more. The father exuded great dignity and wisdom as he spoke through his pain, palpable pain that just poured out of the screen. Ah yes, I cried.
You appear to be lost in your own enjoyment of a snide state that is quite pleasant for you. Carry on.
You are a bully.
Scratch the surface of the ID movement and you are the kind of person who espouses it.
You are a bully who loves the sound of your own voice, you preen in your vanity.
I assumed you were a woman by the way.
You don't need to be sorry.
I don't think geezers should live forever. We need to get out of the way in good and timely order. Thus a stem cell for me is of drastically less interest than that rare and confused nubile curvaceous women who gives me a smile. But that is just me.
Well, I do think if I had Parkinsonism or some other dreadful disease and I had a lot of life in me yet to live, I might look kindly on a stem cell.
