yes, i'm sorry i insulted the animals. - just wish i could have modded you funny but that has already been done. And a few posters in the following thread seem to have been upset by the analogy - do you think i struck a note?
"Albert Einstein, who had a deep belief in god." - fuck off repeating blatant lies. do some research before repeating shit like that. oh, i forgot, religious people can't think for themselves, sorry about that.
"those come down to moral issues, informed by my faith" - does that include stoning people death for various reasons, genocide, homophobia etc? If not, why not?
"I know that frustrates people that will say I am picking and choosing what I want to believe in, but honestly that is the only way as an engineer you can look at religion analytically and still believe." - why believe if there is no evidence? why believe if you have to cherry pick? if you know you are cherry picking to try and justify your belief then perhaps you are on your way to not believing... Read the God Delusion as a start.
"I'm not saying the Bible is 100% perfect for todays society," - its probably not even 10% - its best to throw it in the toilet and flush it along with all the other "good books" of tyranny

Are they all BMW drivers?
There us no need to separate Superstition and religion, they are the same thing.
Already done. You just have to tell people that you have worked out from the bible when the world is going to end and they just send you money..
if you manufacture the skin of the wing to be the solar panel, would that help you?
