Re: Dissolve The Bill And Move On
But he is still salvageable. He just needs help.
Some replumbing of his inner fluids followed by an intensive stint at an atheist bootcamp and maybe a few BabyFest Gala dinners.
We can save this guy from his fantasy. Don't give up, yet.

Re: Dissolve The Bill And Move On
Hey, I'm trying to put together a group for a BabyFest dinner. You're not helping any.

Re: Dissolve The Bill And Move On
BabyFests, not to be confused with the new mother marketing gig, are annual dinners, hosted in various regions, where atheists gather to plan world domination and eat christian babies. Then in November we have the BabyFest Gala where the national steering committees meet, conduct our national induction ceremonies (crossing over the Hitchens Bridge) and eating more christian babies. Great food, great music, great fun.

Re: Jesus red and Jesus blue
Not to also drag this old thread off topic, but you DO realize what would happen if this world had no borders. Poor and hungry people would pour into our communities and we would be forced to help them. Do you honestly think that is what Jesus would want?
My god, Phat, you're supposed to be a christian. I thought the answer to this would be obvious.

Re: Jesus red and Jesus blue
Some of us fear a one world government without borders. You don't?
Nope.
One of my degrees is in economics. Borders disrupt the free flow of people and materials across regions. Just like the free market, let the needs of the population dictate this flow and even-out the disparities. Governments and borders get in the way. Indeed, they make such disparities much worse.
Why fear, Phat? What do you think you are going to lose?

Re: God vs Allah vs Human Rights
One would think that Israel's main sin was in denigrating the Palestinian people as being somehow less refined than themselves.
Is that what you call 3 generations of social repression? The slow calculated ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian peoples and their culture from Israel is considerably more than denigration. It is genocide.
That a people so mistreated and so blatantly abused and murdered, as were the European jews, to then be given a country where they practice similar horrors on the indigenous population requires the evil of religion to sustain.
This war is specifically a religious war. All the resource and political-greed spats only line the path of constant war among the Abrahamic religions.
One needs only to remember that Israel was born right after the Holocaust and that they fought 4 wars to keep their land.
Revisionist bullshit. It wasn't their fucking land! They fought four wars to subjugate a captive population in rebellion against their European invaders/oppressors.
The Palestinians refused to even attend negotiations for including Israel in the Middle East.
There have been plenty of international discussions over the decades. All of them end with Palestine being told they have no choice. They must stop their resistance and submit to Israel's security demands which include absolute control over all resources and movements in all territories. Moves that slowly strangle the Palestinian identity.
That is what is happening here. Palestine is being slowly, deliberately pushed to extinction. When a subjugated people rebel they die by the hundreds just like every other day. Nothing changes.
In light of this topic, is religion involved? If so, how can rationality prevail?
Oh, Phatman. Do you really doubt? This is the crux of all religious thought. I have special privileges because my god has the bigger dick.
There is no rationality. There can be no rationality. This is religion. It is a serpent. The only way to deal with it is to kill it.

Re: God vs Allah vs Human Rights
Thus Palestine will cease to be. The Palestinians become the new jews.
The jewish lament that maybe god should go find some other chosen people for a few centuries may be coming to pass.
Even 3000 years later, that old religion still poisons humanity.
