    No, YOU have heard both, only because you didn't understand what you were hearing.

    Try not to draw conclusions before you work on your reading comprehension.

    Because everybody is a believer, but they all think they're infallible scientists.

    Nothing funnier than a slashdot article on climate where the different camps trot out their defensive evidence that supports their beliefs and then the mud slinging begins.

    That's funny, you act like a literal pedant, but then you just make up the term yourself.

    +4 insightful for the burning of a strawman. Welcome to the new slashdot, how low can it go?

    um, that's because we're very good at murdering our close relatives.

    Now, what we really need to complete the picture is analysis of the saline currents in and around antartica. Too bad we really don't have historic data on that.

    It's a whole world, almost a separate climate that interacts with ours at the top of the ocean. Ignoring that part just seems a little shortsighted.

    No. Clearly you do not know anything about spirituality.

    Yoga is a set of techniques that always leads to exactly the same perceptions and understandings.

    You can learn to use the right side of your brain just like you can learn to use the left side.

    oh? You don't like my tactic of acting like you when you denigrate religion?

    Maybe you should stop doing it?

    Too bad there's very little overlap between 'your' world and the world of the new slashdot.

    Even dumb people learn pretty quickly that you don't go showing aggression, regardless of what you feel inside, if you're the weak one.

    If you haven't noticed, slashdot is a perfect example of a bunch of nerds seething with anger over the stupidest things possible.

    Giving his thoughts to the slashdot crowd is like giving a mule a spinning wheel. They don't care, and probably wouldn't know what to do with them even if they did.

    Wrong! Through the power of slashdot, we now know that pretty much all animals will give a wheel a spin, conversly, the same is not true for the amount of people willing to swallow his tripe... unless he's already swallowed something of theirs.

    ...1879 he responded that he had never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a god, and that generally "an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind

    God does NOT play favorites with his children.

    No, distribution is equal, but whether the children accept what he is offering is entirely up to them.

    You're a bit of an idiot. That is not the course religion takes, anybody with high school understanding of anthropology would know that. You know, that SCIENCE thing you're trying to cheerlead for, perhaps you should try it sometime.

    Why do you criticize things of which you have no knowledge? Your use of 'sky wizard' just shows your immaturity and lack of understanding of the subject matter at hand.

    Why do you assume the same isn't true for Religion?

    You can choose to believe in someone else's spiritual experiences, or you can choose to have them yourself. Strangely enough, every religious text explains how to do that. Not so strangely, the organizations around those religions do not do or encourage those things.

    There's nothing funnier than the millions of buddhists in existance when buddha told them to find their own path, or the millions of christians who believe they're worthless sinners when Jesus told them we're all god and human.
