Shhh, don't tell them, the last thing we want is for the right wing christian nutjobs to realise that they have a shared agenda with militant islamists. As long as they hate each other, we may have a chance.
Most terrorist attacks in the US have been committed by christians frankly the islamists have only had a couple of successful attacks. In fact the US has killed more innocent US citizens than islamist have in the same time. In the UK you have more to fear from people who don't agree with you that a bit of biscuit changes to flesh or not when you eat it.
One name shows that the US needs to fear military veterans and christians:
Timothy James McVeigh
Your argument seems to say that if you worship a zombie or shot a gun for your country you should get a free pass to kill who you want?
If god exists, he's a myopic jerk. He hates so many people, but whenever he tries to hit them with a disaster, he causes more collateral damage the the US air force.
Well define omnipotent and omniscient then if it's not the same as a dictionary. I guess this is how christians get to make up their own meaning for theory too. If you don't mean omnipotent just say very powerful, if you don't mean omniscient say very knowledgeable.
Don't redefine words then get upset when the rest of the world carries on with the original definition.
So, by injecting god you can make up any old shit. Are you really saying "God shares the same subjective tastes as me", and "I invoke god thus your science is invalid".
Statistics are real, we have all seen them, So just why does one try to apply god to such a situation?
How lucky you were born to a family that happened to pick the right one. Your joke isn't funny in the slightest, it's unfortunately how religions work.
This is what always bothered my about prayer. If your god is omniscient, then they don't need you to tell them when someone is in need, which suggests that they are either incapable of helping, or unwilling. If god is omnipotent, then they are just unwilling to help. So you only need to pray to convince god to help.
Does god only help after a certain number of prayers have been met, like some kind of spiritual kickstarter?
Sit a god botherer in a box and keep them there until you can measure accurately their faith level. Until you can do this, you don't even have a mechanism that could work.
The problem is, even with an infinite universe, not everything is possible.
What do you define as a Christian?
By Christian, do you mean - I don't believe a word of the bible, but I've got a vague spirituality and was born into a christian family, so I guess I'm christian.
Do you have a list of the bits of the bible you have to take as fact and those that are allegorical? Why is one bit (earth is 6000 years old) unbelieveable, and another bit (God impregnated Mary) to be the cornerstone of the faith?
Resized bitmap graphs! If I had a quid for every awful jaggedy line, squashed or stretched text, I would be able to retire. There is no reason at all for this.
Ugh, just because you can't think of a case where additional visual information can help you, doesn't mean you've perfected the art. Don't force your paucity of imagination onto others. What you mean is:
"I lack the ability or imagination make a slide that improves my presentation, so I will hate them all."
All fine, but if the presentation is to a bunch your colleagues you may want to tone down the practice a little. There is nothing wrong with a slapdash presentation when it's needed. The presentation should match the audience. Maybe you've only got a couple of hours from concept to presentation, they don't all need the same polish.
The number of appalling spreadsheets I've seen is incalculable, but no one wants to get rid of Excel. I would put this down to Unconscious Incompetence, most people don't know how bad they are at presenting.
We're moving to the US style "Previously in the episode..." "Coming up..." at the start and end of advert breaks for factual shows unfortunately, large chunks of the programme showing what we've just seen, or will see in a couple of minutes. I don't know if this is to save money, or if they genuinely think the audience is too stupid to remember something they just saw.
Then you haven't met someone who dealt it then... (a bit of British humour - when someone asks "who farted" the reaction is usually - "Those who smelt it, dealt it", quickly followed by "Those who denied it, supplied it"
I'll agree with "shoon", and I only hear "shod" when talking about horses.
Which I and George Mombiot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Monbiot#cite_note-Monbiot2011-45) welcome. Nuclear fuel is probably the only way to go that we have now. And if Fukushima has shown anything it is that an old outdated plant can have all the disasters it has had thrown at it, and cause so little damage, imagine how safe the newer reactors will be.
I remember a sketch a very long time ago from "KYTV" it was a parady version of "John Craven's Newsround" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N... a new programme for kids.
Anyway it was discussing the US political system thus: "The Republican party, which are like our Conservative party..." "...and the Democratic Party, which is like our Conservative party" to us brits, the US extreme left would be somewhere near our Labour Party after Tony Blair.
Companies in this country, and the one in question (both the UK) do not have a sole obligation to provide a return for shareholders, to quote the FT (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a7319a86-cc5f-11e2-bb22-00144feab7de.html#axzz3KwTHMDBP) "they must have regard to six specific factors: the long-term consequences of their decisions, the interests of employees, relationships with suppliers and customers, the impact of corporate activities on the community and the environment, the company’s reputation for high standards of business conduct and the need for fairness between different members of the company."

The only good thing the guy did was punch Piers Morgan.
Ahh Mr Brains finest, well before I was vegetarian anyway.

Here in the UK our idiots are as stupid as yours - you just have a lot more of them.

Wow, why would you limit your god's power? Blows a massive hole in the ontological argument for god though.

Whenever the credulous complain to me about attacks on religion, I ask them to count the pyres.
I'm picturing the Bill & Ben suit from "Supper's Ready"

They beat Ireland and Scotland in the World Cup (Cricket that is, not football)
