Maybe among the religious sects. And how am I angry? Because I don't agree with you? Believe me, I am far from angry. And you are far from knowledgeable, as well.

1) Are they promoting their belief? 2) Expressing one's belief outwardly might be annoying but it is hardly forcing.

The point I'm making is that everyone who thinks others should believe as they do are "forcing" their beliefs. It is the nature of debate. Secularists believe they are right and think others should believe as they do. There's actually very little reason to be so defensive.

There is no forcing..read our constitution...that's what's being enforced by the "secularists" and all others who love our nation.

Unless they are Universalists or a like religion, they probably are not presenting the idea of God soley for someone to believe in God but for that person to believe in their brand of God. Naturally, if someone holds something as truth they will not teach in contradictions. So no, I don't think most people would feel accomplished if a person joined another religion that contradicted their set of "truths".

The problem is there are so many people practicing truths yet no one religion, I believe, practices absolute truth. I don't think any one religion is practiced precisely as God would have us.

*sigh* I refuse to bang my head against the wall with you until you answer somebody's question. I trust you're not saying that religionists do not love our nation as your words imply?

Be careful what you wish for when refering to the constitution. I don't follow many threads but you sound like a strict constitutionalist (good for you). Where do you stand on the 2nd amendment?

Ummm . . . I don't thing you understand teh concept. It is more of a rsik/benefit analysis.

I didn't know that, thanks for telling me.

Your summation of the argument the way I understand it is pretty dead on.

Been doing pretty well, I take it you have been busy, either that or you got fed up with this place for a while.

When they aregue Freedom FROM religion they are trying to force something . . . and that is often the case.

Wow, you are incredibly stupid. It is excellent logic from excellent logicians. If you don't understand it just ask and it will be explained better. Just because you aren't smart enough to grasp the premise, it doesn't mean it is illogical, it just means you aren't smart enough to get what they are saying.

I know this is the first time I hvae ever heard of Pascal being referred to as illogical.

She is not only angry, but kind of stupid as well.

Why don't you explain how Pascal's argument is illogical? Since you are so knowledgeable this should present no problem. A hint though, try to understand what the argument actually is before you attempt to say that a mathematical genius is presenting an illogical argument.

Starting up at a new school. I have just been soaking it all up.

She is opinionated. That is fair. Politics today can make people feel strongly. Just to stir up some dirt though, I do believe the carpenter has some sharper tools in his closet though.

Boy Cookie you really have foot in mouth disease sometimes.

You have no clue about Bark & you've passed some pretty strong judgments on some VERY scant information.

Some humility & observation might do you some good.

I may pull up an old thread about a year or so ago that introduced this young mans mind. It WILL humble you.

Being righteously judgmental, especially considering he was in NO Way being antagonistic towards you is often times the path to complete banality & public stupidity....be careful my friend you are slipping down that path.

I don't think it will come anywhere close to humbling her. She has far left views and anyone not adhering to her views are ignorant. For her to call Blaise Pascal's argument illogical surely shows that to be the case. If she thinks Pascal is illogical, then there isn't anything on this forum that could ever humble her.

Did Cookie once again leave rather than actually defend herself? That bitch is all talk.
