Wolfechu I'm really not, though. Seeing it, that is. Humanity, as individuals, have never had such freedoms or rights as we have now, at any other point in history. Even if you factor in some of the backwaters where this isn't exactly the case, the average quality of...

Wolfechu And what I'm trying to say is your initial premise is faulty. In fact, what you have there is mere rhetoric. Is there a measure of this loss of humanity? A historical analysis of how people are more inhuman nowadays than, say, 1476?

Now, Christians have heaven and hell as do other religons, but What do athiests believe happens to them when they die? Seriosuly, I wanna know this. Do they stick around as ghosts and shadow people haning out with Beetlejuice or...

Wolfechu I have to say, your sense of self-importance is pretty staggering; why you think I'd want to follow you round correcting your mistakes is beyond me. But then, I suspect that's the kind of egocentricity that demands there has to be some sort of life...

Wolfechu It's a common mistake frequently made by the more emotionally fragile, ignorant theistic types on board such as this. And given that any web browser worth talking about has built-in spellcheck nowadays, I'm not sure how you expect to be taken seriously. We're...

Wolfechu Which is pretty much my point. 'athiest' certainly isn't.

Wolfechu Well, it always strikes me as odd that apparently things like shrimp, blended fabrics and menstruating women are now acceptable, but what two guys might get up to isn't. I can only assume God sent out a memo as to which bits were still important at some point,...

If we are human then why we don't act to injustices and behave like animals? We are responsible for the global warming, for poverty, and so on. How come we are responsible for so many bad things and yet we say that we are human...

Wolfechu Evidently so, given humans do it, and animals don't.

Okay I just have to rattle off some ideas about the recent "pandemic" swine flu frenzy that of course everyone is talking about. I'm giving some facts and figures here, but I'm also voicing my own opinions about this Swine Flu...

Wolfechu Out of curiosity, of the 2 million/year you quote as being killed by TB each year, any idea how many are in first world countries, or indeed the US? I'd be shocked if the death toll got into double figures there. And then I'd only expect it in cases where...

Wolfechu Oh, and incidentally, it's irrelevant as to whether antibiotics existed in the early 20th century; antibiotics, by their very nature, only work on bacterial infections, not viral ones. A tanker full of penicillin wouldn't cure any strain of flu.

If God didn't want us to make our own choices we wouldn't have free will. If God didn't want us to have abortions, he/she/it wouldn't have us conceive.

Wolfechu One argument that kills me - I pass a billboard on the way to work every day that claims '150 American babies are killed every hour!' or some such shock figure. Leaving aside the rather interesting point that I was under the impression American citizenship...

I've always had a hard time with this one. I believe in God, in the Lord Jesus Christ, in His promises, and in His Word. I can see His hand at work everyday through creation and other people's lives. Creation speak His Name and...

Wolfechu So your actual rebuttal is 'consider the lily'? How is that even relevant to your post or mine? That's like quoting the bits about Herod to someone looking for child care solutions.

Wolfechu Who were they appeasing, exactly? The terrorists, or the hegemonising federal supernation who spent decades interfering in affairs of the middle east to the point of actually being the ones who originally armed the people they were fighting? Clasping your...

Wolfechu No, I'm claiming you're omitting events post-2001 to make your theory look sound, and also ignoring a wider perspective. I suppose the bombings in Madrid and London were completely unrelated to Bush's policies from your blinkered viewpoint.

Wolfechu Quite frankly, it'd have to be John Lennon, Elvis, Robert Johnson and JS Bach as the lineup before I'd fork out that kind of money.
