Fogive me, but I've always understood atheism's core beleif to be 'There is not god'
If you don't accept that on faith, then you'd have to come to it by some logical means right? I have not heard a good logical argument for athiesm.
The problem I'm having in understanding this is that agnosticism is much much more logicaly sound than atheism, and I'm trying to understand why one would represent themselves as atheist.
Just as an aside because you mentioned it and I'm interested, what is your logical basis for atheism? (it being based on faith is also an acceptable answer)
Anyone that I've met in science that doesn't subscribe to a major religion, claim agnosticism because they don't want (or find silly) basing their world view on faith.
Seriously how many deaf and blind people are there?
on your registration do this:
please respond to the following captcha, or if you are unable to respond do to physical handicaps and/or do not have someone to assist you please click "this link."
this link would send an email requesting registration, the Administrator then checks over the info and either auths them or not.
there are those of us who would die for our religious beleifs.
though being that fanatical about weather or not you can look at the insides of a computer program is quite silly.

I've seen this argument before, let me boil it down to the essence and then present the counter (do correct me if i misrepresent you in any way).
Premises 1. God is all powerfull and all knowing 2. God allows evil to exist in the world. Conclusion 1. God is evil.
That is in essence my understanding of the argument. The counter is quite easy, yet offers no resolution to the problem (as does approxamately all theological arguments)
Premises 1. God is all powerfull and all knowing 2. God allows good to exist in the world. Conclusion 1. God is good.
If i can fly over a city in a dstraight line with no stop lights i do beleive i would use less gas than zigzagging around in the city in traffic and at stoplights and such.
Also, there is more 'Air' than 'road' so traffic jams will be a less frequent occurence.
Wouldn't a simple HTML website on free hosting [freewebz.com homestead.com w/e] be a viable solution?
Sure it'd be a little more difficult to add/remove bookmarks, but anywhere that can access the web can access your assortment of links.
I beleive its a correction of capitalization to fit the context of the quote.
the original probably read "On a ten point scale..." , but the author wanted to use this quote in a larger sentence of his own. the [] signifies a change by the author for clarity.
I can understand 'voting with cash' and I do understand getting fed up with them.
Good luck in getting a new ISP, and if you ever have a spare invite I've been looking for one gleapsite@spymac.com
A company's primary objective should be pleasing its customers. Sadly when you have a large enough userbase, you tend to forget this.
cheers, Clint
WHy do you need a new ISP? just get an email from Spymac.com, or gmail if you have friends. Theres someting out the that allows you to access gmail via POP and spymac give you POP access out of the box.
The only downside I can see is that you'll loose your email and need to inform every one of the change, but then you were planning on doing that anyway. If you're happy with MSN dial-in but not the email just use one of the ones above.
Alternatively you could NOT use outlook (any version) and use Thunderbird link instead.
Just some idea you can try, and maybe avoid the hassle of changing ISP's.
So what if in Gaim a patching system was implimented, and the default option was to alert the user when patches for specific protocols were available.
so Jow Blow downloads the latest of Gaim and get an alert saying "Yahoo has changed their protocol, we are currently working on fixing this, please bear with us" or something of that like.
This way we inform the users whats going on, and we don't actually have to have a fix to alert them that its broken.
AND we can place the blame where it belongs, right on Yahoo's doorstep.
just a thought

Ok, I can agree with you, and i choose to append my previous argument to read for the conclusions: God has a(n) good/evil aspect.
I've seen this argument before, let me boil it down to the essence and then present the counter (do correct me if i misrepresent you in any way).
Premises
1. God is all powerfull and all knowing
2. God allows evil to exist in the world.
Conclusion
1. God is evil.
That is in essence my understanding of the argument. The counter is quite easy, yet offers no resolution to the problem (as does approxamately all theological arguments)
Premises
1. God is all powerfull and all knowing
2. God allows good to exist in the world.
Conclusion
1. God is good.
enjoy.

Could it be his microphone? Or the distance between his mouth and the mic?

You agree to them when you register your screen name.
There is a plugin Here That allows you to search ANY text file, you just have to declare it in the config.
It still doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed or that its not a problem, but it is exploitable, and i guess thats what counts for the final grade.
