Leave the site before burning my computer.
If you had to argue with an Islamic fundie?

And THAT is why I'm an atheist.

How about these reasons?

You're lumping them all together, not taking them each separate. The bible does not condone any of the above.
If I recall, there were plenty of massacres throughout the Bible against non Christians, and God almighty destroys Babylon because they aren't Christian.
The Torah and Qur'an are derivatives of the old testament, and were originally made by a guy that disliked the Jews.This proves you only care about upholding Christian imagery; you didn't even try to defend the other religions.

Right now the limiting factor is government and financing, sometimes time, but I doubt that even light-speed can withstand our progress barring xk-class end-of-the-world scenarios.

A more appropriate end of the world scenario is an IK class.

On a more serious note, what part about the government is blocking the search for extraterrestrials? I can understand funding, as SETI and NASA have practically been drained of funds to feed the War on Terror.

Banned for not having enough scrutiny in that post.

(I know an awful lot about economics, almost to the point that I wish I didn't)





OT: Granted, but then the aliens invade and everyone is now a die hard pacifist.
I wish for a box.

Not if you put a gun to my head. They tried that in Rapture.
What would you do if you were drafted during the War in Vietnam?

Trying not to post on just how uninformed the previous poster is in regards to the religions he's referring to.
I think he's spot on.
OT: Trying desperately not to scream at you.

It could be that there actually is nothing out there... I highly doubt it.
That's probably the most out of person thing I've ever heard you say, I would've thought you would deny the possibility of intelligent life based on some half assed bible thumping reason. But no, you surprised me.

One. Apocalypse Now.
What's the country you'd want to live in the least?

Guys, can we not turn it into a political debate? I only used it as a test case for my definition of evil- intentionally causing unnecessary harm. Now whilst I happen to think that pollution comes very close to that definition, it was only a test case.
I'm pretty sure the horse is out of the barn on that one.

Banned because I find your post lacking any fancy words, like tomato.

Granted, but it's 106 and he's in his hunting mode.
I wish I had the means to become president of the US and knock some sense into the world.

He admitted to being a member of the Tea Party. That fact explains everything.
Why do idiots cling to their views so tight you'd need to beat them with a crowbar to give them up, and usually still not after that?

What if you threw it into a black hole?
I think it's both too big to throw and can avoid or escape black holes. 001 (clef's proposal).

If you thought I was serious, you're crazy.
I deal with more crazy than usual these days, and it isn't just BTG. Try fighting with pro-Russian and/or Islamophobic AND/OR pro-Palestine AND/OR pro-Israeli people all at once.

WHY CAN NO NEWS EVER BE GOOD?
I think you Elder God has a really sick sense of humor.

And I NEED to get this work done, so I'm going to have to put this on hold, okay?
Okay, but I am going to search some more, just let us know when I can start pelting the Elder God with softballs.

ISIS is taking on Assad after a few months of ceasefire. This could spell out his doom.
