    Exactly. I maybe go to 5-6 movies with the family over a whole year. And only for movies that everyone says are good. We just went to Despicable Me 2 and I have to admit we were disappointed. Good thing we waited for matinee pricing ($5 each).

    As a person with food allergies, I can assure you that there are a lot of exclusive deals with supermarkets. They just aren't with the top 5 global food brands.

    When proof of something is held before us, we do not stick our fingers in our ears and chant "I can't hear you" repeatedly because it might disagree with my personal belief system.

    Cool. Go to this site and check out all the scientific evidence. Come back when you have finished reading all the repeatable verifiable science that disproves evolution or gives evidence for a young earth. When you are finished, come back and have a civil discussion with us about the evidence that you so readily accept.

    "Religion".

    I don't think you understand what that word means, yet like so many religious people, try to spread it around to every context to poison any argument.

    Also, of course there are a lot of militant atheists out there. The same way there are/were a lot of militant "black people" out there. Guess what? When people trod all over you, threaten you, treat you like second class citizens, and impose their will (via legislation and political power) on you -- you're probably going to be a tad mother fucking militant.

    "Stop being intolerant of my intolerance you assholes! C'mon guys!"

    So, like Atheists are doing right now. Yes, they are acting like religious nutjobs, hence the (valid) comparison..

    No, atheists kill because "they're not the Aryan race" or "killing people is just like mowing the lawn". You know, good reasons like that.

    Of course you can. Following someone is annoying, but not a crime. Starting violence against someone else puts you in the wrong. As it should. Trayvon started the violence and George ended it.

    And it would have been if he had started the violence. But once he was jumped and being wailed on MMA style, he's allowed to defend himself.

    Yeah, but they also tried to add 3rd degree murder at the last second after the trial was over. That couldn't have sat well with the jurors, as they all but admitted they didn't have enough to stick on their original 2nd degree murder charge. It sounds weak and desperate.

    A 38-year-old chubby guy should be able to overpower a weightlifting 17-year-old football player after being jumped? In what universe?

    but it seems to me that people who find themselves being pursued by strangers are generally assumed by the "justice" system to forfiet their right to life.

    No. People that jump other people and start wailing on them MMA style (while being chastised by their friends on a text message for "fighting too much" at the same moment) forfeit their right to life when they nearly kill someone.

    Actually, the law might disagree with you there. The FIRST person to throw any sort of blow is typically not allowed to use self-defense in most states if the altercation ends with a single action.

    First of all, it doesn't resequence DNA (if that is really a valid concept). It just ADDS a small bit of DNA into the genome.

    And actually, to most Christians, the source of disease would typically be seen as random mutations, which God allowed after the fall. Is it random chance that it affects gays and drug abusers the most? Quite the coincidence, but hard to say. But ultimately, the ability to turn bad around for good is what God specializes in.
