  1. NOTE: I suppose this means that God is not perfect. Why would he regret doing something, unless he believes it was a mistake? And if he made a mistake, he therefore could not be perfect, could he? Of course, one might argue that committing (and later regretting) that mistake was all part of the Lord's perfect plan. But, then, some people will do anything for a laugh.

    He also becomes 'sad' after murdering the entire human race in the flood of Noah.

    That must have been awkward.."Sorry about that guys..Guess I just lost it there for a minute.."

  2. *** One thing he pointed out struck me: he claimed that the Great Depression was caused largely by the raising of tariffs by Hoover - a mercantilist approach to the economy - which stopped the market from correcting itself through the flow of imports and exports.

    I believe he also raised the income tax level on the wealthiest to 50% overnight.

  3. Interestingly enough though, the concept of altruistic self-sacrifice couldn't be any more concrete. We should all give our organs out of charity, not look at it as something that has value to someone else.

  4. If that is all it takes to become governor of Alaska, perhaps you should move there and run against her in the next election. As charming and insightful as you are, you should win in a landslide. The state could then boast of having elected stupid governors in successive elections.

    :confused:

    The woman has brains, she just got a sh*tty treatment by the press and the McCain campaign. She's not dumb, it's an image issue coupled with the fact that she has never been on the national stage.

    Someone should slip her a copy of TF or AS though.

  5. I think the labor standard is a much better objective measure about the value of money. Whenever I make a decision about buying something, I think about it in terms of how many hours I had to afford it.

    Although I realize the difference here, yes, money should have some actual value than just being a piece of paper taped to the end of a gun.

  6. It reminds me of an Ayn Rand quote: "It is futile to fight against, when one does not know what one is fighting for."

    You hit the nail on the head though, the problem with the "new atheists" is that they don't understand that not only is religion bad because it promotes the existence of that which does not exist, but it uses that as a reason for followers to sacrifice themselves.
