So much nonsense and stupidity COMMENTING HERE! I hope you get what I meant.
Tim the Destroyer of Worlds has decreed that there needs to be a Ferretian dating website. It would be the same as a normal website, only creepy people aren't using their false religion as a disguise. Ferretianism is the one true religion. Repent! (banjoferret d c)
I honestly do not understand why people think God has a mate picked out for them. If we assume he does exist, then he gave us free will. Doesn't that mean that he trusts us to find someone for us on our own conviction?
I've not read all the posts here, but I do wonder, how many have said:
"Find out what God has in store for you! ... ChristianMingle.com"
I guess the ra'pe victims found out what god had in store for them.
The man looks totally harmless. Guess this kills the stereotype of ugly tough thugs w/tattoos and wild eyed looks doing these kind of things.
Find god's rapist for you. How'd god get people together before the internet? How do people who believe in another god, or no god supposed to find a mate? Next we'll have christianpedophile.com so priests can meet little boys outside of church.
LOL
Socialism is 19th, 20th, and now 21st century mythology, brought to you by the killer A&A's. Any surprise their "wegod" kills too? Their phony servants always end up as bullies, with waivers and all that sort of thing. But what the hey, it's all 'bout equality. bigots
Idiot lol??: "Socialism is 19th, 20th, and now 21st century mythology, brought to you by the killer A&A's. Any surprise their "wegod" kills too? Their phony servants always end up as bullies, with waivers and all that sort of thing. But what the hey, it's all 'bout equality. bigots"
Face it, idiot – you'll not be happy until you can push your woman back into a cave. Your primitive emotional outburst amounts to nothing since you never provide evidence for your lunatic ideas. It's just more hot air from the bigot that should be looking in the mirror.
.
Clarity, you should let your emotions be your servants, not masters. Didn't yer dad teach you that?? bigot
Further proof that the idiot never backs up his rants. Of course there is nothing to back them up.
Creationists are you the generated ghost this new device has created ?
Engineering 'Ghost' Objects: Breakthrough in Scattering Illusion

Prayer is just a time-sucker-upper.
Prayer changes things .
Lying is not healthy for children and other living things.
Trolling is not healthy for anyone, ever.
"Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things" is unfounded.
"Prayer changes things" is unfounded.
Prayer does not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.
An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs!`
"Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things"
This is inaccurate wouldn't you agree? Especially when the data shows that atheists tend to have happier and healthier marriages than conservative Christians.
atheists are liars
Trolls are morons

You all speak with your egos. You do not know what reality is, or even who you really are yourselves. You describe yourselves with words and surround yourselves with things. You should see yourselves more than words, simple sounds that come from the throat. Think about it.
o Think infinity and recycling with the Big Bang expansion followed by the shrinking reversal called the Gib Gnab and recycling back to the Big Bang repeating the process on and on forever. Human life, good and bad, and Earth are simply a minute part of this cha-otic, sto-cha-stic, expanding, shrinking process disappearing in five billion years with the burn out of the Sun and maybe returning in another five billion years with different life forms but still subject to the va-ga-ries of its local star.
@clarity- "During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superst ition, bigotry, and persecution."
May I offer this for reference: http://www.fallacyfiles.org/contexts.html
"Exposure: The contextomy leaves out the crucial part of the sentence which shows that Madison was not arguing against Christianity per se, but against its legal establishment, or the establishment of any religion. Moreover, given that he was writing in 1785, the Christian religion had been "on trial" for almost eighteen, as opposed to fifteen, centuries. Madison was presumably dating the legal establishment of Christianity to the reign of Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome, in the early fourth century, that is, "almost fifteen centuries" earlier. Madison's words were taken from a lengthy argument against a specific bill in Virginia's legislature which would have levied a tax in order to financially support the teaching of Christianity, and he argued against such a tax on the grounds that past legal support of Christianity had led to its corruption."
So if your point in posting that quote to was to speak out against the legal establishment of christianity in the nation...then I agree with you. Was that your point?
Oh, I don't know, maybe to attempt to show why the Founding Fathers wanted the separation of Church and State?
Actually Tom, the separation of state and church is something I agree with. But when most ppl use the above quote, that isn't their purpose. They are trying to imply that the Founding Father's hated Christianity as a whole when most did not.
And please show me where I said Madison hated Christianity, US. My point was to show that he was upset with extreme views among his fellow Anglicans. So first you were wrong about him being an "old white dude". When he delivered the Memorial and Remonstrance he was a fairly young man – a young man who was furious about the injustice he saw in his fellow Anglicans (as early Episcopals) and how they were persecuting the Baptists in Virginia. I contend that his first-hand experience in Virginia along with the increasing influence of Deism at the time enable him to step back from the extremist Christian view; I contend that those factors helped him turn into one of the fiercest advocates for separation of church and state – helping him realize that the new government could not work if any one religious sect got the upper hand.
For the benefit of others – this post and reply are also on the preceding page.
clarity- "And please show me where I said Madison hated Christianity, US."
My apologizes...I wasn't meaning you when I said that. I've seen that quote you used by others whose purpose was to show that they hated Christianity.
Lol...you are right that he wasn't an old dudes. I said that part in sarcasm.
But if I may say, you didn't explain your purpose really for all the quotes. Context is important.
The context were these (non-italicized) original paragraphs along with the post by TBT earlier:
When I read something like what "truth be told" posted below, I realize precisely the kind of religious extremist James Madison was speaking about when he wrote:
(Madison & Jefferson quotes here – readers – see previous page for original quotes.)
Thankfully, in the U.S., we have a strong wall of separation between church and state (mostly to the credit of JM & TJ); and thankfully, the more the religious extremists push against the wall, the more the wall stands firm, the more the law is considered and more and more it is applied throughout civic law. So, in an odd way, religious extremists, while dwindling in numbers, are helping government address the overall attempts to circumvent the wall of separation; they are helping us learn how to better apply the ideals brought forth by James Madison in the 1st Amendment. As he reflected:

It would seem they were oblivious to the potential cult like state of the atheist and secular extremists that have replaced the feared Priests that crucified Christ.
@fred
Is "secular extremist" your new favorite buzzword? Pathetic. You're as useless as ever.
Fred: it would seem that they were extremely cognizant of one denomination of Christianity persecuting another denomination; this is patently obvious.
There is no cult of atheism. That is absurd. And if extreme secularism is the desire to keep religions from trying to codify their beliefs into civil law, then so be it.
It is obvious that the FF didn't want it then, and we don't want it now.
Actually there is a cult of atheism. It began with 1/3 of the angels.
