Seems to me everyone who writes articles which contain documented facts and links to back up their opinion try and present a persona that makes them appear more intelligent. Even though the facts may be indisputable, some other people still argue, trying to make themselves seem more intelligent than the one who wrote the article. It's called "pontificating." And no one here is better at it than Baker. There's also an element of immature one-upmanship.

Podesta told U.S. News about the Sunday night show which he never missed. "When the show about the aliens comes on," said Podesta, "I get glued to the tube and try and figure out which government agencies to call to determine if the show’s story is real or not." U.S. News further reported that Podesta had even mailed one of the show characters, FBI agent Dana Scully." Link <BR

So I'm not sure what religion has to do with it. I should think it's fairly obvious by now that Phelps is an asshat, and religion is merely his excuse. And for every Phelps out there, you can find a Mother Theresa. As far as I'm concerned, the religion angle is a wash. Doesn't the Taliban do the things

no, you have lust and love mixed up. Love is when you want the best for the other person, lust is when you want that person for yourself no matter what. Watch it again, you'll see that one suiter had genuine love for her while the Phantom was only concerned about himself and what he wanted. He wanted t

Ironclast you remind me of the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera story. It's plain to see in the story that the Phantom's heart is cold and dark. He has no joy; neither has love ever touched his life. Until that one day, when Christine kissed him and it all changed in an instant. She said to him it wasn't his looks that repelled her, but his cold murderous heart that tur

what's wrong with that? I can see by what this person is saying that he must have a very sad life. There is no joy. OK, a subsequent comment shows you may have a point here! You're both full of shit on this one. That subsequent comment really has nothing to do with this thread.

Blaming the ills of the world on a supernatural figure lets people off the hook. Just as giving God the credit for good things people do gives credit where it isn't due. The criticism of human pride is just a way that religious leaders try to keep people "enslaved" so to speak so those people keep going to church and putting money in the collection plates.

I've never called my self religious that I am aware of. Oh. Excuse me. For someone who doesn't consider himself religious, you seem to need to spend a lot of time taking things I say personally. Don't hyper-intelli

Like one of my favourite authors wrote, you have to believe in the little stuff (god, santa, the easter bunny etc) before you can belief in the big stuff like fairness and liberty and freedom. Saying God is little stuff and equating him with Santa and the Easter Bunny? Shame, shame.

The bible's gone through dozens of revisions since anyone even remotely holy put their hands on it. Words changed/substituted, language (and therefore grammar) shifted and then shifted back again - it's not the same book it was at Nicea. I was unaware of that 30 something years ago.
