hob, how is someone suppose to respond to a quote that has not been attributed to its source ... the quote is subversive, what is perversion is that anyone that does not worship your 4th century bible.

It was from the dead sea scrolls, manual of discipline under the section :"Of the two spirits in man". from about the year one, not the fourth century.


Manual of Discipline


how about a sequel to your book explaining just what you believe the non literal messages actually mean ... being supposedly the purpose for the book in the first place. * if it is interpretive how was it meant by the Almighty.


"And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life." revelation 20:12

oops, I guess those good folks haven't gotten the memo yet.

Is that your big family gathering? Which one are you? KKK are Democrats, so they'd be in the mix.

When you are a greedy stupid white rich racist christian conservative American you don't see anything wrong with it and you see anyone who isn't like you as bad.

I love it how he thinks atheism has anything to do with communism. What he means is liberals want our government to provide us citizens some social services and if our government does anything like try to make healthcare affordable then we are socialists.

I can see why Christians and whites are upset. They're losing power.

Atheism leads to communism. Karl Marx says the same thing as the atheists and your liberal leaders who tell you to, "Obey." Others are the anarchists. Most of it started with Obama in leading to a divided country. The liberals and atheists have gone looney tunes. Look at how you deny the truth. If you had any brains at all, then you'd realize atheism has nothing to do with religion. It's a political movement. There aren't that many who will fall through the cracks with the new Republican medical plan. Just look at who the socialists were in Germany and we get a picture of what's happening in the United States.

Before the revolution,the crowds protesting the abuses of power were not the problem. It was the abuses of the police protecting those tyrants who were abusing power that triggered the revolution.
 
The other group, the good people have to watch are for are the extremist Muslims. However, I didn't include the atheists in this group unless they were sympathizers. Are you a sympathizer, sealybobo? Plenty of liberals are. Anti-Christian, but pro-Islamic.

Is that you with the quotes, BW? I'd just put the flamethrower on him.
 
The first time I heard of a scale being around was through Richard Dawkins, one of the founders of the New Atheism group. Since I do not have a differing widely known scale, I use his. He's eliminating other beliefs and the like for those whose beliefs lie elsewhere, so I include "Other" in my poll.

  1. Strong Theist: I do not question the existence of God, I KNOW he exists.
  2. De-facto Theist: I cannot know for certain but I strongly believe in God and I live my life on the assumption that he is there.
  3. Weak Theist: I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God.
  4. Pure Agnostic: God’s existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.
  5. Weak Atheist: I do not know whether God exists but I’m inclined to be skeptical.
  6. De-facto Atheist: I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable and I live my life under the assumption that he is not there.
  7. Strong Atheist: I am 100% sure that there is no God.
If this has been posted before, then please forgive. I did a search and did not find.

What is the difference between a strong and a weak agnostic?

Most people are agnostic, of course that's my opinion since the proof of a supreme being has never been established, and having known and served on committees with couple of priests, even they hold misgivings.

I don't begrudge true believers; I do find the influence of the First Estate (The Clergy) out of place when used by Pols and Pols are used by them; the hypocrisy of the self righteous who judge others so harshly, and choose to support or invoke laws which restrict basic human rights, is an affront to the founders who who banished Authoritarianism and rule by fiat and replaced it by the rule of law.

The Constitution makes clear the danger religion in the last sentence of Art. VI, and in the First Amendment. We should heed this warning.

GOP Health Care Bill Could Leave 24M More Without Coverage By 2026, CBO Says

However, if the GOP bill were enacted, the uptick of uninsured would begin this year, to 31 million. By 2026, 52 million would be uninsured under the American Health Care Act, which is the first step in the Republican repeal-and-replace plan.


you just can't stand a law that is socially conscious.


It was from the dead sea scrolls, manual of discipline under the section :"Of the two spirits in man". from about the year one, not the fourth century.

"Thus far, the spirits of truth and perversity have been struggling in the heart of man. Men have walked both in wisdom and folly. If a man casts his portion with the truth, he does righteously and hates perversity; if he casts it with perversity, he does wickedly and abominates truth"


spirits
of truth and perversity ...

- has nothing to do with what was posted.

so, those are also copies. where are the original books, the above is an example whether what is written is what was original, according to bond that was their connection to the above - THE WRITTEN TEXT - neither you nor bond are in possession of what you claim to be irrefutable proof for your religions existence. no doubt that is the motivation of bond.

I just can't trust an article by NPR, especially one posted by you BW. You voted for Obama. What cons do not want is socialist healthcare enacted by the USG. Already our healthcare system is worse because of Obama and the Democrats.

There should be a way to cover everybody using public healthcare. We need to have medical insurers who will cover the people who can't afford it or have existing conditions.

>>Pure Agnostic: God’s existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.<<

Learn to read or get some glasses. There is no strong and weak agnostic. The choices are from Richard Dawkins, Atheist.

Exaggerated Machismo is a sign of a man who lacks confidence, and is a cover for his weaknesses.

You better clean your glasses as you didn't read the article. Do you question evolution now? Do you use two hands to hold a coffee cup? Do you wear fake plaid lumberjack shirts?

"Brunel University in London. “Physically Weak Men More Likely to Be Socialists.” (laughing) What timing! I said, “This is a godsend.” It is a woman that’s writing the story here. “Surprise, surprise. Men who are physically weak are more likely to favor socialist policies. An academic study from researchers at Brunel University London assessed 171 men, looking at their height, weight, overall physical strength and bicep circumference, along with their views on redistribution of wealth and income inequality.

“The study, published in the Evolution and Human Behavior journal,” one of my favorite magazines, by the way, right along with Prairie Farmer. The survey “found that weaker men were more likely to favor socialist policies than stronger men. Brunel University’s Michael Price believes this may be a product of evolutionary psychology.” Listen to this. Dr. Price said, “This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society. Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success.

“If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.” See how this works? Strong, tough, self-reliant, studly, manly guys don’t believe in equality. You think you have a headline, you think you have a story that may really be on to something and then they totally blow it with their own analysis. Now, this story hit home for me obviously because of the circumstance that happened up there in Montana. But I myself — and I’ve mentioned this before — I imagine a lot of people will not remember me having said it because I didn’t make a big deal of it, didn’t do a whole segment on it."

Why don't you trust NPR? Which programming offends you? Have you ever listened to any of the programming? I suspect you are only echoing the meme promulgated by the Right Wing?
 
The way I see it, you have more of a belief in God, karma, honesty, ethics or something than anyone who collects 10% of someone else's income and then tells them that God was wearing diapers on christmas morning so if they want to live forever they have to get down on their knees, pray to a statue, and eat a cracker for spiritual life..

Who on earth that really believed in God and the final judgement would do that?

Would anyone who really believed in God wage war against all other religions and regard all people as infidels who refuse to submit to the ravings of a hallucinating violent desert warlord who had a thing for prepubescent girls?


If a man fills his mind with the truth, he does righteously and hates perversity; if he fills it with perversity, he does wickedly and abominates truth.
That's just it. People can be convinced to do great things in the name of God. People can also do horrible things in the name of God. Yes people who do suicide bombs truly believe God will reward them.

I'm glad the Christians lie doesn't encourage violence although Christians did own slaves and wiped out indians after stealing their land, so we do see Christians have no problem with murder and slavery when it suits them.

If you lived in the middle East you wouldn't see Americans or Westerners as innocent. To them we are evil and the devil's. Who said so? Why god of course. It's all in the Koran. How could that possibly be made up? And lots of nice things in the Koran, right?

If people are convinced to do horrible things in the name of God it is other people who have convinced them, not any God.

If anyone is convinced to do good things in the name of God it is someone else who convinced them as well.


If you took a group of 8 year olds who have never heard of religion and have not yet learned much about science or history and tell them that God impregnated a virgin and became a baby on christmas, most if not all will believe.

If you took a group of 18 year olds who have never heard about religion but have learned the about the nature of reality and the difference between what is possible and impossible and tell them that God impregnated a virgin and became a baby on christmas morning, most if not all will not believe.


The problem is not religion, it is the lack of education and the absence of critical thinking among believers who have confused obstinate stupidity with faith, child abuse with religious instruction, and false teachers, sorcerers, and con artists with holy men.

Nah, my beliefs are not about reciting some magic words and then having an imaginary friend.

Lets just say that I am intimately acquainted with the essence of life. I read all of the stories, I understand the teaching. Nothing is hidden from me. I always do exactly as God commands and dwell in the sanctuary of God.
