    I think you are reaching a bit there. Or I could say apple makes money selling crap to fanbois that lock them in so they cant use anything else.

    1) Are warnings coercion?

    there are warnings and there are threats. Both are forms of coercion, and warnings are the worst of the 2, since warnings mean it will happen, and threats that it may happen. you dont say "if you dont believe like we do you *may* got to hell". The Christian statement is you *will* go to hell.

    2) you say most.... I will ask you the same question I asked you earlier-- is this anecdotal? Or will you stop using that word as if it means anything more than "the very very few that I have seen"?

    I use most because I dont like absolute statements *every one I have been to is more accurate, and from the time I was 5 thru the time I was mid 20s I went to a lot. I use most to keep from condemning the people I have not met to the same situation.

    3) Dawkins makes the same claim about the root of evil, but Ive never heard the problem of all the 20th century atrocities (the majority either committed by atheists, or with an anti-religious sentiment) really dealt with. Where exactly does religion fit into the killing fields or the soviet purges?

    or 9/11 or Oklahoma city bombings, or the Holocaust. Not sure what atrocities that are committed by antireligion or atheists.....

    4) Use some line breaks, bro.

    I am saying that you do not have to see the initial stage of something to start the scientific process, which you implied. You can look at life today and want to work backwards, and it is just an valid.

    Science typically starts with an observation.

    I see your problem, you dont even understand science. You assume it has to be an observation of the life being created, if that was the case there would be no science at all in this world.

    Science does require observation, but it can be anywhere in the link. If it starts in the beginning, great, if not then we have to sides we work on, one going backwards to the origin, and one going outward to the conclusions.

    1) not sure you know what coercion is then: Coercion ( /korn/) is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats or intimidation or some other form of pressure or force. Telling someone that they will go to hell if they dont believe your way is using threats and intimidation to get them to do what you want them to to do, especially when you start doing it to them at a young age 2) To follow the same line of thoughts "they" are most Christians who use fundraisers, mostly through churches 3) A != B.... I believe in having faith in whatever you believe, and I believe religion is the root of most evil in this world, not matter what religion it is.. Also I am not atheist.

    If you believe that a rock created life then you did not study evolution, you studied what the church wants you to believe is evolution, which leads back to his point.

    1) Every Christian church I have ever met uses coercion. All of the ones I see tell you if you do not believe their ways you are going to hell. Also they have fundraisers and instead of saying these kind people helped, it is always God helped. 2) coercion anyway or another is bad. 3) there is no such thing that says quality of life includes the right to worship

    Our companies are making record profits, I am not sure that costs are the issue, it is more greed. I will use the great MS layoff of 2009 that I was a part of. They layed off thousands of people just to keep investers happy, and then turned around and rehired the same number at a lower wage.

    No one is saying that they are entitled to have a job, so get off your high horse. They are saying that jobs in America should go to Americans, unless there is not someone qualified for that position. Also as for your piracy issue. People made music, and made artwork before there was a demand for those pieces, so that is not a very sound logic. Part of your problem is you assume that those who pirate are willing to pay if they did not take it. Studies have shown that most are not, therefore the artists, and really the studios are losing little to nothing from them.
