I'm fairly certain Santorum wouldn't pass up any opportunity for a "one-on-one" with another man, but that man will not be Vigilans



I always wondered about the light of Christ. Does he have a giant spotlight that he shines from the heavens on his chosen? Or is it more like a Batman kind of thing where people shine a spotlight with WWJD onto the clouds and he hopefully shows up and does what Jesus does?

I couldn't help you. The more I learned about it the more vacuous it all became. Apparently the logical are only welcome if they can teach themselves to be illogical.

What would Evil Spock say?

Probably something to the effect of get riches, bang b*****s, and pop snitches. Sex, racketeering money, and murder - in that order of priority.

I'm not sure I understand what you just said, can you rephrase?

Yes, I'm talking about Frankenstein.

Wow, this is one of the rare times that I don't get...

Just a silly joke. Though even harder to explain... If my thoughts on the matter are correct, FS is an allegory to the effects of stoning someone with religion and creating the living dead or zombies. I also mean that at the point where someone is franken-stoned, they are probably also screwed.

If their was a thread talking about a religious rally how many athesits would be posting snarky comments

I quit reading this thread at about page 9. Many of the posts seemed to show a confusion about terminology. In case no one else posted this, I will tell those who do not know what the difference is between an atheist and an agnostic. I was confused about this at one point.

Theism is the belief in a god (or gods.) Atheism is the lack of belief in any gods.

Gnostics claim to know that a god (or gods) exist. Agnostics do not claim to know that a god (or gods) exist. Some agnostics would claim that it is impossible to ever know such a thing.

Most atheists (even Richard Dawkins) are agnostic atheists. They have a lack of belief in any gods, but if enough evidence were presented that a god existed, they would become theists. They would then believe in a god's existence. Depending on the evidence, they could continue to be agnostic about the certainty of any god's existence.

Once I learned the difference between atheism and agnosticism, I realized that I have been an agnostic atheist for quite some time.

Meh, a typical bunch of motley liberals, descending upon the liberal city of Washington, which is so liberal that it isn't even a part of the United States.

Ya know, using political ideology ("liberal") as insult hardly works when those you apply it to consider it compliment.

Maybe it was intended as a compliment.

Mixing it with "motley" was an interesting choice, then.

A bunch of Conservatives would be much less motley, much more homogeneous.
