		<description>Last I heard, the 1st Amendment was still in effect -- including the part that says &quot;freedom to peaceably assemble shall not be infringed&quot; as well as Article VI which says &quot;. . no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, so what?  I have a bigger problem with Harris&#039; bigotry.</description>

		<description>Because we are lower than dirt. Lets face it. Jesus is the center of attention. If he cant make us bow to him, we are scum. I&#039;d suggest he hang out with Allah&#039;s fans,. they have the same gang mentality. Bloods vs Kripts, Redskins vs Cowboys. But who cares, as long as your/their side wins.</description>

		<description>I used to belong to a Unitarian Church. It is such a odd concept for a believer outside that church to comprehend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;IT IS SIMPLE, it has nothing to do with agreeing with the superstitions that others in the church might hold. It is the understanding that no matter what one believes we are all part of the same community.</description>

		<description>If you are arguing that emotional appeal and credulity win out more often than not, I would agree. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But call me optimistic,our planet&#039;s majority once believed the earth was flat, and we as a species got over that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why shouldn&#039;t we get over the bullcrap idea that beings with no body, no brain or DNA exist? It may have upset you to find out that Santa wasn&#039;t real, but is your wee wee magically turning into a pillar of salt because you faced that fact?</description>

		<description>*yawn*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Reading comprehension son, try it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I never claimed to be religious, or that I believed in any of this. I am saying that your point is moot when arguing with people who think that God is all powerful. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is sooooo many other effective arguments out there, saying that Jesus couldn&#039;t be born because immaculate conception cannot exists as it doesn&#039;t provide a second zygote is a waste of time. Immaculate Conception is one of the most basic article of faith for believer, it&#039;s a basic pillar of their religion. It&#039;s like attacking evolution by saying that it&#039;s the same thing as chance, or trying to convince Muslims that they are wrong because Muhammed was a warlord, not a prophet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Try it with a Christian, you&#039;ll see what I mean. In the meantime, try to learn to read when you answer an argument, your whole post was just wasted on me.</description>

		<description>&quot;son&quot;, my argument is not that he exists, my argument is that &quot;all powerful&quot; is a broken concept.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Funny how you claim he can &quot;do what he wants&quot; including making DNA, and magically created the earth in 6 days despite geologists putting the earth at billions of years old, yet when people need eye care they don&#039;t have  priest spit in their eye, they go see a eye doctor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When I took biology we never replicated a fully grown woman out of a man&#039;s rib. Maybe in your class they did, but that is called &quot;Sunday school&quot;, and hardly scientific.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;God can do what he wants&quot; is a claim, not a fact. You have nothing, you have the same amount of evidence for your god claim as Muslims do as Hindus do as the Egyptians did.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Humans can do what they want with the stories they sell, they always have. Being good at selling a myth doesn&#039;t make the myth real, it just means that humans, throughout the species history has been good at making up stories and selling them as fact.</description>

		<description>So since we can hide our atheism , do you want us to? So we should placate your insecurities over a hangup that is not ours? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry, not going to happen.</description>
