If more religions behaved like that one, religion wouldn&#039;t be such a dangerous thing...</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;You canâ€™t prove the existence of God, or his/her/its nonexistence. Anyone who claims that one way or the other is being arrogant.&lt;/em&gt;

Nonsense.  It would be like you saying that anyone who says there are no such thing as flying invisible unicorns is being arrogant.

It&#039;s not arrogance, it&#039;s an awareness of reality to see a lack of intelligence in the sytem, and therefore, know that because it couldn&#039;t have been created by anything intelligent (as intelligence would be required to creat anything intelligent), that an intelligent designer cannot exist.  Simple.

&lt;em&gt;And bad things happening in the world is only an argumant against God if you believe God is Good.
The Hinus donâ€™t believe that. Their three-in-one godhead includes a destroyer

One of my bestfriends is a Hindu.  To them, their gods are not the same as the definition of god to Christians.  They are more like guides or how the pagans see their gods.</description>

		<description>I am off topic here, but I thought a few people may find this funny.  

A man came to my door today and handed me a well written pamphlet promoting a local church.  Three of the Four pages of the pamphlet stated that their church was not affilliated with any political party like the other &quot;Well Known False Religion&quot;.  He explained that his church was an alternative to corrupt faith organizations that mingle with even more corrupt politicians.  I asked him if he could provide details, at which point he asked me if I owned a TV.  I said yes.  He said that I should turn it on and tune into Fox News and I would be able to see the corrupt politics and the false relgion in a matter of minutes.  

I told him he could  be comfortable spelling it out for me, and that I would not be offended no matter what he said, at which point he shot back &quot;Fox News is affiliated with the Republicans and Evangelicals and we are not like any of them&quot;.  I laughed my butt off.  I don&#039;t have anything against any religion, I just thought it was funny that a Church was promoting themselves by saying that they are very unlike the Republican Party, the Evangelicals and Fox News.</description>

And a large number of them do it in the most miserable ways possible, in the most religious countries (Which are normally the poorest ones too) on Earth. Tells you something about this God person doesn&#039;t it?

Anyway, to the topic of independents:

If you cannot bring yourself to vote Democrat, if you honestly believe them to be no better, then vote independent, Green, or Libertarian. For you the worst case scenario is more of the same vile, corrupt maladministration that America has suffered under the Republicans, the best case scenario is a move towards the political landscape which most Americans, left and right, agree is needed. Do not leave the left to being the only political position which has the balls to actually vote for what it believes in rather then what it will settle for. 

To vote Republican, as this last six years of war, debt, and destruction can attest, as this last six years of torture, kidnapping and sheer incompetence can attest, to vote Republican after all of that, is to vote against America. It is to vote for a state which tortures without conscience, kills without thought, and steals your money to do it. It is to vote for a nation without laws, but only edicts. You &lt;em&gt;do not have to vote for the Democrats&lt;/em&gt; in this next election, but you can vote independent or for one of the smaller parties in good conscience.</description>

		<description>These do nothing, say anything incumbent Republicans stoop to any level to trash anyone who disagrees with them.  When they get caught on boy look out, they will go afraid you like a crack fiend who needs a fix.  The act like mad dogs going after a steak.  My question to them is, where is the love?  Why do they hate their fellow Americans so much.  I think it&#039;s simple, they claim to love America, but they clearly hate Americans.</description>

		<description>What a bunch of whining sniveling little whimps the Republicans have turned out to be. I used to respect them even if I disagreed with them. Because I knew that regardless of what different paths were taken, they were honestly looking towards what was best for America. Just like the Democrats.

Now? They snivel and whine. They are cowards who will willingly forsake anything in the pursuit of power. They cower in fear (and stridently demand that others do so too) instead of standing up to terrorists. They freely want to give up what we value to appease the terrorists and make us into their image.

They obstinately stomp their feet and hold their breath and call it integrity. They misrepresent everything the Democrats stand for and call it debate. They are gutless and rudderless. They smear proud honorable veterans who oppose them for political gain... who doesn&#039;t think that each and every service person serving today isn&#039;t a potential &quot;Swift Boat&quot; victim in the future? I despise them so much!

I am slandered as an appeaser of terrorism because I demand that America live up to the laws and the ideas I served for by people with multiple deferments. They can slander my, but I cannot question their integrity?

There really will be an opportunity for &quot;TRANSPARENCY&quot; come Nov. 7th. But this time it will be the Republicans and the President that will have a lot to answer for. The power of a subpoena is a wonderful thing!</description>

Whats a soul, Dog? I mean, besides the religious idea of something inside us that motors human beings which has never been proved to exist. Oh, but if the churches says we have a soul, then there must be one, right?</description>

<p>Whats a soul, Dog? I mean, besides the religious idea of something inside us that motors human beings which has never been proved to exist. Oh, but if the churches says we have a soul, then there must be one, right?<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=1013261', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>The essence of this is that Cunny stole American taxpayer (i..e., our) money and gave it to his friends and himself.  He is a thief and a crook.  We have a right to know that.  LaHood and his cohort are not fit to serve their constituents.  We truly do need to &quot;drain the swamp&quot; on Nov 7.</description>

		<description>Bottom line...Cunny stole taxpayer money and gave it to his friends and himself for their benefit.  He&#039;s a thief and a crook.  We don&#039;t have right to know that?</description>

		<description>1. Scummy to _do_ it.
2. Scummier to crow about it.
3. Reprehensible for FoKKKs &quot;news&quot; to broadcast it- they have sunk to a new low, if possible.</description>

		<description>This is a pure distraction ploy sponsored by Fox News. By putting Ray the hood on the screen with the Big R-Il next to his name and running a story of ass whacking the Democrats he becomes the replacement or back up GOPer to Hastert. Remember it&#039;s all about depth of the bull pen not who&#039;s on the mound. Read the quote along with his party&#039;s affiliation and look at his smiling face. This is pure reassurance that those leaky Democrats will not prevail.</description>

		<description>I got the newest &lt;a href=&quot;http://welcome-to-pottersville.blogspot.com/2006/10/maureen-dowd-obamas-project-runway.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mo Do up&lt;/a&gt;: Obama&#039;s Project Runway. Enjoy it while you can. My &quot;fan&quot; may make sure it&#039;ll be the last one for a while. Unless blogger&#039;s bluffing about censoring my blog. Sorry if this is multiple-posted. I keep getting a blank page instead of an updated one.</description>
