It's called "Google". It points here.

Short answer: they are either misquotes or ourright fakes.

Don't worrt, People for Ethical Treatment of Plants will sue them to oblivion.

You should know that most (probably all but I don't have all day) of those examples are inaccurate (some to the point of being ridiculous), incomplete, or have the meaning changed by being taken out of context. For example see this site which offers actual explanations.

Creepy shit

Where I lived, a return to the long-term global average temperature (about 5C warmer than now) would be great. It might turn North Africa into a greenbelt again, too, just like it used to be. That would really help with the famines there! I know change is rough on everyone, but the poor dirt farmers would be a lot better off with an extra growing season. I really think that global warming is just too good to be true.

How much CO2 did Mt. St. Helens vent last eruption? How does that compare to the CO2 from power generation? This link claims that human CO2 inputs are at least an order of magnitude smaller than the natural output of CO2, and that that tips the balance towards increasing CO2 levels.

I really don't believe that idea, but just in case there is something to it, I say: go burn something. I'm sick of shivering!

The matrix' is perhaps Dickian, but Dick isn't a 'straight' gnostic himself. They both propagate more like a mix of gnostism and hermetism. Using science to 'crack open the world' is much more a hermetic practice than it is typical for gnostics. The matrix has even more obvious hereticism in it than most of Dicks novels ('as above, so below' for instance: die in the matrix and you die in the real world).

Then there is the fact that gnosticism isn't unchristian in itself; there have been gnostic christians throughout the history of the religion, lots of them in the early period (before orthodox christians wiped them out) some of them in the medieval period (like the french cathars, also wiped out by fellow christians), some in the enlightment (like William Blake) and there is a growing number of gnostic christians today. Of course most of those christian gnostics form the past where burned at the stake for heracy, but so where lots of protestants.

What makes you so sure? http://ccminc.faithweb.com/islam/05veil.html

Perhaps it was a decision made for a reason that you might not have fathomed? Perhaps it was made for a need that didn't arise in the part of the world you come from. I don't want to judge you or the custom but I do think your comment is in bad taste and VERY judgemental.

To take this even further, supposing one WANTS to give up his/her freedom of speech for something which that person thinks is more valuable, would people like you let them?

Why does something have to create "nature" or be outside of "space"? You are perfectly willing to accept that "god" has always existed.

Here I will cite ...Therefore, God Exists:

2. COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT

(1) If I say something must have a cause, it has a cause.
(2) I say the universe must have a cause.
(3) Therefore, the universe has a cause.
(4) Therefore, God exists.

I suggest you study carrefully the list of Arguments for the existence of God. Specially on-topic for the present discussion are arguments 10, 26 and 120:
10. ARGUMENT FROM CREATION
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God
exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to
understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be
uncomfortable
(3) Therefore, God exists.

26. ARGUMENT FROM AMERICAN EVANGELISM
(1) Telling people that God exists makes me filthy rich.
(2) Therefore, God exists.

120. ARGUMENT FROM PERSECUTION (II) / ARGUMENT FROM IDIOCY (I)
1) Jesus said that people would make fun of Christians.
2) I am an idiot.
3) People often point that out.
4) Therefore, God exists.

Evolution is not a religion, it's a process.

Faith in evolution requires belief without proof, often in the face of proof, so it's even a religion for those dimwits who insist that religion requires the absence of proof, or belief only in unprovables.

Evolution is a religion. QED.
