10- You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god.

9- You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt

8- You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Trinity god

7- Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" -- including women, children, and trees!

We appreciate good design when it overcomes obstacles[1], to achieve some end[2], working within physical rules[3]. A design can be considered efficient when it uses fewer steps, and elegant when it seems natural and obvious. While many arguments for Creationism/Intelligent Design are based on the supposedly great design of biological entities, they overlook a glaring question: how this premise of design matches with the concept of an omnipotent deity. Let me illustrate based on my concept of design.

1. I am omnipotent: What obstacles must I overcome?
2. I am omnipotent: Since I know all, and essentially do all, what end could I possibly want to achieve?

I must apologize for my abrupt disappearance from the internet back in early July, and to any and all persons I was in mid debate with at the time. I quit my job due to multiple head bumpings with the idiots who suck enough balls to call themselves management. As the majority of my posting was done at work, with no net at home, I thereafter vanished across the board. I do not have much time right now, but a computer with net was available and I have enough time to inform people of the scenario. I am not certain when I will be able to return to normal operating procedures on the net, but hope it will be soon. At any rate, if anyone was concerned, there is nothing to be concerned about. I will endeavour to return to active debate as soon as possible, but it could very easily be October or later due to some software problems with my home PC not liking dialup all of a sudden.

We were removed from youtube a few days ago.

Welcome to my world: http://www.youtube.com/user/RationalResponse (please subscribe to our youtube channel in support)

Welcome us back, congratulate us, comment in this thread!

Those who know me well know I am generally not cocky (I do try to be modest), but after all that I have accomplished over the last 5 days, I can state with accuracy that those who claim I am the man, are in fact accurate. I am unable to discuss the conditions in which we have been returned to youtube (for now). So don't expect an answer there.

There was a "Holistic Health Fair" here in town yesterday, and I was amazed at how many of these quacks talk about vibration. Reflexology, for one, seems to me as nothing more than using a vibrator on someone's foot and thinking that it'll resonate through their body to cure their back pains, etc.

I work with someone who actually believes this bullshit. She showed me a bottle of "fountain of youth" water she got from the fair, and I had a good laugh over it. It's obviously an Arrowhead water bottle with the label ripped off, it still has the sticky stuff on the side of the bottle. The top was open when she bought it too. Apparently what they do is take this water and run it through a machine that "changes the vibration" of the water. Somehow this makes it healthier, and the lady selling it even claimed that you don't need sunblock when you drink it because it makes your skin more resistant to UV light. Sounds like Snake Oil to me.

What did Jesus actually mean by "denying the Holy Spirit... unforgivable sin''?

If you guys are truly denying the Holy Spirit, at least do it properly.

Just by saying that you deny Him does'nt mean you have denied Him, no matter how many times you say it!

Because to deny the Holy Spirit means you have to kill yourself!

You see, as long as you are alive theres always a chance you may change your mind... as long as you are alive you can be forgiven!

Even if you kill your own mother you can be forgiven...as long as you are alive you have a chance to turn around and change...but when you're dead its sealed.

I decided to do some research into the purported existence of god. Surely the following statistics prove there has to be a god. One has to agree that jc does, in fact, exist if only Tsunami deaths are considered (god works in mysterious ways!)!

Were they all sinners? Nonbelievers and non-christians were, for sure, sinners!!! But, he also took some of the faithful as a sign of his love and mercy! No matter how young they were. Even the unborn children!..... By drowning and/or crushing them! His love and mercy are boundless!!!

Hopefully, this will end the debate over the existence of a god. COMMON SENSE (Reason, logic, rational judgment, etc.), proves he/she/it or whatever does exist! How anyone can deny his existence is beyond me!
