Re: Signs of Intelligent Design
From your original post on this topic;
This is a position we hear often here: atheists don't believe in God, so therefore they think anything they want to do is okay. But speaking just for myself, morality comes from inside, not from a book. I have never asked myself "What does the Bible say?" on any issue of morality. It always comes down to asking myself, "Is this right or wrong?"
I can tell you, holding the record number of suspensions on this forum, Atheists indeed CANNOT do anything they want to.

Re: topic
It gives the admins some kind sick of thrill to threaten me doesn't it? This wasn't an "irrelivant interjection"...it has all the relevance in the world, in fact, it's the only thing that matters relative to the subject.
No, Atheists DON'T think they are above anybody else...in fact, they are beneath. Everybody else (statisticly) have religious laws and rules they rally around...Atheists are defenseless against the status quo. We actually end up having to default comply with what everybody else has adopted to suit themselves.
I don't make a fuss about "In God we trust" being on money. Hell you gotta' put something on there or how else is everybody gonna' it's money?
You know Ned, I tend to try and let things go...but a few lessons you could learn:
1) It's chat forum, it will NOT be changing the world.
2) You are responding to people you don't personally know over cyberspace.
3)You take yourself FAR too seriously given the above criterion.
4)Attempts to control speech can't possibly be disguised as certain rules to follow as matters of civility...because...who's civility? Yours?...you just get to run slam fests all over me because you know you can and I'm helpless.
so, in summation...Athiests don't get to do whatever they want.

Re: Dembski Raises a Good Point
Einstein was accused of said same (sorry, I don't recall the source). It was believed that he played to the "creationist" crowd whenever necessary because he was aware of where funding and noteriety are allowed or blocked.
A more recent episode was the developement of a potential primordial soup recipe, it's significance was quickly redacted by it's developers after pressure from the right in the media (in other words, the developers appeared to downplay the significance of it).
But lets face it, it's going to be quite a while before science can go about the business of science without interference from religion. It seems to happen on both sides of court too.
