Al, > My take...you stupidly believe in a god that by your book created a species capable of the worst atrocities and cynically decline to place your faith in what is good about that species, the ability to adapt and build.

Same old arrogance that equates faith in politicians and swindlers with faith in humanity.

I actually have more faith in humanity than you do. I believe we are very adaptable and can take on any real challenges posed by the environment. Even if global warming turns out to be a truly "imminent threat," I believe we have the resources and the willpower to counter it.

However, unlike you, I believe in actual debate. You on the other hand would rather cut off debate, declare your own side to be the winner, and move forward with all sorts of socialism that denies our freedoms in pursuit of some made up emergency.

That reflects a lack of faith in humanity and a sense that you know better than everyone else. Samo samo.

"i think you are selfish, ungenerous man. Nothing like the god you claim to worship and follow."

I've told Ten that although I'm an agnostic now, I was raised as a Christian, and admire the teachings of Christ, and that he's a bad Christian.

But as an agnostic, I have no cred with him. He doesn't want to debate his failure as a Christian.
