Centuries of vitriolic Christian anti-Semitism are never mentioned by him.   Jews were not exterminated for eugenic reasons, they were exterminated in an attempt to completely erase all traces of the Jewish people and their culture.  The Nazis cynically used the trappings and symbols of Christianity and some of the older Nordic pagan religions. The Nazis effectively fed and fanned the flames of hatred that were already burning in Christian Europe.  Ever heard of the Russian Pogroms, John?  How about the horrors of the Inquisition promulgated by the Church?  Christians burning witches?  Never heard of that either?  How about the murderous Christian fanatics that slaughtered countless innocents just because of their differences in dogma during the Thirty-Years War? How about the Crusades, John?  Explain to us how Darwin caused them.   </blockquote> Again bad reading comprehension. Did I ever say Darwinism cause anyones death etc? Really poor reading comprehension. </blockquote> Actually, yes, you did: <blockquote> <strong>the lying troll wrote:</strong> atheism leads to darwinism leads to eugenics leads to Holocaust and Nazi Germany  </blockquote> So yes, you DID say Darwinism caused deaths.  Unless you're also a Holocaust denier.  Which would invalidate your whole web of lies in itself.

phantomreader42 Unregistered (Permalink) Posted: Mar. 25 2008,19:10    Go fuck yourself, lying troll.   Eugenics predates Darwin by thousands of years.  Darwin's books were banned by the Nazis, but Martin Luther's "On The Jews and their Lies" was a major inspiration.  The same guy who founded the Lutheran church.  The official slogan of the SS was "God is with us".   As usual, you live only to spread falsehoods.   <blockquote> <strong>john.williams:</strong> "Evolution leads to atheism leads to eugenics leads to Holocaust and Nazi Germany." you got it wrong: "atheism  leads to darwinism leads to eugenics leads to Holocaust and Nazi Germany " </blockquote>

What is your purpose?  Why do you hang out here?  Why do you fail to learn ANYthing?  Why don't you fuck off?  Surely there are some good, godly works you could be doing that might help the poor and down trodden.  You know, something christlike, perhaps, instead of repeating your same, tired bullshit creobot talking points over and over.

A more astute writer wouldnt post Mathis e-mail confession.</quote> So you wanted O'Leary to <b>NOT</b> provide everybody with factual first-hand information regarding why Mathis did what he did?  You wanted her to cover up the confession instead of reporting it?

Lou FCD Posts: 5455 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Mar. 26 2008,06:55    Letters to the Editor from Bizarro World. A moderately good crop the other day, thought I'd share the highlights.  There's more of each letter in the Jacksonville Daily News' LttE section at the link above. Eugenia Parsons writes to tell us that Cindy Sheehan forced Congress to not love America, which is why we're losing the War on Terror.  She begins: Quote This letter is to U.S. citizens, especially to those who love America and want to see her back to her rightful place among nations. All citizens need to take a good look, first at themselves and then at those for whom they vote. Their vote is critical to the government of our once-great nation. Every citizen needs to forget the party and, for once, choose our lawmakers by the lives they live. Our current members of Congress have completely forgotten what they were elected to do. Because of each one's selfish desire to fatten his or her billfold and to engage their own personal agenda, they have almost brought America's government to a halt because they cannot or will not tend to congressional business and work together for the good of our country. Very little is getting done because they will not help President George Bush fight terrorism overseas. Elton Matheson teaches us Economics.  The Fed lowering the interest rate is the cause of high oil prices.  Oh, and why do we even need a President, anyway? Quote If we do not get by this one, then health care, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, bridge to nowhere, NAFTA and the rest of the Robin Hood programs will just have to wait. Clinton, Obama, or the other guy - irrelevant! Why do we even need a president? We are seven trillion in the hole - that's $7,000,000,000,000 - we are "all-in," "at the river" and the Saudis have the cards. Buy gold. And rounding out the inning, Starr Davis teaches us how capital punishment is how we should value life. Quote Why are the opponents of capital punishment so blind to the fact that when they refuse to exact this maximum punishment for crimes against humanity, they are actually devaluing human life? If you ever need a good laugh or just an excuse to bang your head on your desk, there's always something there for you. -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas?

Quote U.S. Capitol Police discovered the explosive device three weeks later when they returned with a search warrant to check the truck, which was in a government parking lot. Terrance Gainer, the Senate sergeant-at-arms, told The Washington Post the device in Gorbey's truck, which was parked about two blocks from the Capitol, "could have caused serious injuries," if detonated. Police initially searched Gorbey's truck in January and said there were propane tanks and wires but no immediate danger. They used a robotic camera to look inside the vehicle and a powerful water hose to destroy suspicious items inside. Now U.S. Capitol Police are investigating how their bomb squad missed the bomb. -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas? Linky“. ~ Steve Story, Legend

I rather like the sound of that.  Surely it is possible with all the modern technology available nowadays? Slashdot has a system like that. The posts there get a 1 rating to start, and trusted users can add rating points, and meta-trusted users can evaluate the trusted users, and trolling earns you negative points, and a visitor can select what level of comments he wants to see. So, for instance, if a post has 1,000 comments, it might have comments / rating 1,000 -1 543 0 345 1 301 2 288 3 45 4 16 5 and the user preference allows you to see comments above whatever rank you choose. Years ago I set my Slashdot settings to 4, and haven't looked back. Really cuts down on the signal to noise ratio. I'm an advocate of using this kind of thing on PT/AtBC, but I'm not work-brickle (how's THAT for an obscure idiom!) enough to help them implement it here. But the advantage is clear. If you have, say, a post on how research on cat coprolites helps explain exactly when cats were first semi-domesticated, and FL puts up a post saying "Charles Darwin was a big cat turd", you can adjust your settings so that you miss the ensuing festival, and only hear the smart and funny people. At the same time, it weakens claims of censorship, because the comments are still available, just marked as stupid. It is kind of annyoing on PT that when a comment section goes ballistic, it is almost always as a result of a creationist saying really stupid things, and not as a result of smart discourse.

To say that the late great Bill Hicks and I agree in our estimation of the music of Mr Astley would be an understatement (trust me, good it isn't). I think you meant to link to something different.
