Clarifying the contention of Intelligent Design being bad science

Can you think of one other investigative field or research subject matter where almost everyone on this planet has an emotional stake such as they do with religion?

Commenting on Intelligent Design and other myths

One theme for comments left on my postings that constantly re-occurs, refers to how the universe seems to be constructed with such complexity that it could not possibly be a random event.

"Hi my name is gomedome -- I'm a big fat liar -- and always have been

You've heard the old saying "he's in sales, he is only lying when his lips are moving" well that's not what I'm talking about. I'm speaking more of outright lying to placate the beliefs and hence the feelings of others. It is an art form, one that I have become very accomplished in through necessity... Sign in to see full entry.

I speak out against modern day religion because I am a vile little man full

of hatred and vitriol.... Yeah right. That at least is the re-occurring theme of many comments left on my postings. To some, anyone who presents a differing viewpoint must be full of misguided hatred because a belief in God is about love and wondrous beauty.....that deserves another "yeah right"....

I have seen the power of Satan with my own eyes.

And don't think for a minute that I am conceeding that this mythical creature is real, far from it. I have always conceeded however that the concept of evil personification is a very powerful idea. An idea capable of torturing those who wholeheartedly believe it to be real but that ultimately is my... Sign in to see full entry.

Non- believers at the top of the Religion and Spirituality category ???

What next? Sex with animals? Sorry, I had to use something stupid to make my point. You see, I've been here before, as has Kooka, occassionally both of us will be #1 and # 2 in this category depending on how much time we have available to dedicate to blogging.

Emails from Satan? ---- geez maybe he is real ?????

Just recently I received an email from a fellow blogger. This was the entire content of the email: “The greatest thing that Satan ever did was convince people that he was not real.” What do you say to someone such as this?

Deluded bliss is bliss nonetheless -----You have to admit that.....

......this was a throw away line waiting to become a blog title. I've probably used this sentence 871 million times in my life, though admittedly just an estimate, the real number of times I have uttered these words is up there somewhere.

The old chestnut of showing respect.

In recent comments, the subject of respect for Christianity has come up again, as in a lament that I do not accord the respect I should, to both the bible and a faith that is held by a majority in our society. My only answer when posed with this complaint is "you first". It is assumed by many within... Sign in to see full entry.
