and, of course, there is a boatload of irony in the pravda reference, given that you're refuting claims made by the free press in support of the belated, obtuse account provided by a politician who is a known liar.

the facts on the ground seem to suggest that places that developed under christianity have been the most wealthy, egalitarian, free, and prosperous places in the entire world. that really isnt debatable.
 
and the current most free, wealthy, egalitarian, and prosperous places in the entire world are those democracies that have freed themselves from religion, like northern europe and canada and australia.

meanwhile, the countries remaining under religious control - whether that's christian south america or muslim africa - remain shitholes.

You're welcome, lol. Catholics had to kill many thousands of innocent people who refused to give in to their doctrine in order to make this such a great world today.
Thou shalt not kill - except for your church.

I wonder if you are going to say that the next time someone screams "Islamofascist" against those who criticize Islam political and social backwardness.

18 year old Muslim Adil Rashid has escaped a prison sentence for raping a 13 year old girl he had groomed over the internet after a judge decided that his strict Muslim upbringing had left him naive of British law and immature over sexual matters.

I wonder if the family of the fakers who beheaded that Soldier try using the same defense, and sue?
In any case, it's a sad day for justice when ignorance of the law becomes a legal defense for someone practicing a different religion.

You are easily the most annoying poster on this forum and it's not because you have a different opinion. You are a condescending, egotistical, self righteous mother ****ing prick. So please, just **** off.

You are the embodiment of what's wrong with the tea party movement. You are blind to everything that doesn't fit into your fox news/rush limbaugh created box of blatantly false information. You are an embarrassment to the human race and it's a shame that you weren't introduced to a coat hanger at an early age.

And the worst part of this is that you've probably got a raging hardon reading this.

it is the absolute pinnacle of arrogance and pretension to believe that anyone who believes in religion is stupid, and not to be taken seriously. its the pinnacle of arrogance and narcissism.

Despite being agnostic myself, I do think you make a valid point here even if you ultimately took it too far. A number of history's greatest minds have indeed believed in god/a higher power. Moreover the fundamental principles of science dictate that we're never 100% certain about anything, therefor making it impossible for anyone to genuinely claim that there definitively isn't a God.

That said, I think it would be intellectually dishonest to ignore the fact that there is clearly a strong statistical parallel between the highly intelligent and highly educated, and their lack of belief in a God or higher power. Likewise there is a parallel between the less educated and a belief in a religion.

Everything he says, is done with the sole intent of registering precisely this kind of reaction.

Thanks. But then. I'm dealing with SOME idiotic, pseudo intellectual droolers like you...and several others. Just because others of your ilk agree with you, which you find comfort with, does not make it righteous or right or logical. More like narrow minded bigoted, stereotyping, dogmatic, partisan living in an internet puddle.

I'll let you get back to your gossip and lynchings......
