Witches burn very easily; over the years I've found it better to cook them for a long time in a very low oven. To prevent the meat drying out, add:
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,-- For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble." Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android

And to make sure that she really is a witch:
If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood and therefore, she's a witch.

And of course the author of the OP has not responded to any posts. There should be a penalty for not participating in your own thread. Classic fundie troll.
His OP is nothing but misrepresentation of reality at best and probably lies in reality.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

His OP is nothing but misrepresentation of reality at best and probably lies in reality. From OP of Precision in Nature: Evidence of God or Accidents?
Scientific evidence shows there is extreme precision in everything around us in the natural world. This precision renders the evolution theory and Big Bang theory mere fiction, because both theories rely on accidents or spontaneous events. Precision leaves no room for error or for accidental events. Rather, precision requires deliberation. From OP of PROOF: Judeo-Christian Bible Inspired of God
Circles can be 2D (flat) or 3D (an ORB or a SPHERE) How did Moses know that the earth hangs upon nothing, indicating gravity, considering that the book of Job was completed in 1473 B.C.E. and it wasn't until 1687 AD/CE that Isaac Newton published his theory about gravitational forces--3,160 years AFTER Moses wrote that the earth hangs upon nothing? And of course this thread.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

The topic title is "Federal Court & U.S. Supreme Court Ruling: Atheism is Religion", which pretty well defines the topic theme. It probably has already been covered adequately, and many of the recent messages have nothing to do with the topic theme. And now it's descended to taking pot shots at Alter2Ego.
Do messages relevant to the topic theme, or don't post to this topic. Go to "General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List')" if you wish to discuss moderation issues.

The OP appears to be reading what is not there. No evidence has been provided to support the claim of the thread title.
Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity |

Bad idea.

Insert boring homily about squeezing turnips and expecting something different this one time.

The title of the thread was a lie, and then it went downhill from there.

Yes.
The title was a big, bold untruth. What else to discuss here?

The OP was a misrepresentation of the truth. No, it was a lie.
And the fact that he cannot even support his lies is a huge issue and should be part of the debate, no matter what Moose says. If a person does not contribute to their own thread then the thread should be shut down as this one is being.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. |

quote:ALTER2EGO -to- NWR: I have not been to this website for some time, so I was not even aware that this thread had been approved. And no, I am not making a generalization. I have been told exactly what I posted in my OP by atheists at numerous websites where I have debated. BTW: You will note that I did not use the expression: "All atheists consistently attempt....""That people may know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." (Psalms 83:18)

quote:ALTER2EGO -to- PERCY: So you are agreeing with my OP that Atheism is indeed Religion--even if it is merely for First Amendment reasons (although that is not correct). Atheism is also considered "Religion" under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. quote:Your point being? That because the IRS refuses to give atheist organizations tax relief, that automatically cancels out the Supreme Court ruling? The position of the IRS does not cancel out the fact that Atheism is still Religion, particularly since atheists routinely use their Religion status for the following purposes: 1. To get their own chaplains and distribute their literature. 2. To conscientiously object to war based upon their RELIGION status. Edited by Alter2Ego, : No reason given."That people may know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." (Psalms 83:18)

quote:ALTER2EGO -to- COYOTE: You quoted the parts of the Court transcript that suit your purposes. At a future time, I intend to post some of the pertinent portions that you deliberately left out. But guess what: even the parts you quoted indicate Atheism is Religion. For instance, the Federal Appeals Court that you partially quoted above used the expression: "other religions groups," which immediately indicates that Atheism and its Secular Humanist philosophy is part and parcel of the "other religious groups."
quote:See that? You said it there again. BTW: I read the court transcript and did not see the expression "anti-religious groups" therein. But of course I could have over-looked it. So would you mind quoting, for the rest of us, where the Wisconsin Federal Appeals Court used the expression: "anti-religious groups"? "That people may know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." (Psalms 83:18)
