Thus it is for the "Dittoheads" movement (that's what the aptly call themselves.) A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Free inquiry, a basic of freedom and liberty, cannot coexist with the rules and laws at the core of most Christian or Islamic religions.

I feel the same way about the Einstein revisionist propaganda I do whenever the "conservatives" claim that Martin Luther King would have supported them in this era. Its just such horseshit, and even to acknowledge it in debate leaves one feeling she/he needs to take a hot shower.

You have us confused. You're absolutely sure life (which science has revealed is based on information encoding / decoding systems) sprang from rocks.



He believes in God but at the same time thinks there's a world of Godless out there which is contradictory
and intuition & science would tell you thats a silly paradox. Either everything is God or nothing is,


The belief everything is God is pantheism and I'm not a pantheist. Why would anyone think pantheism is the only possibility?

It must be hard being someone that claims to believe in God but cannot ever see that God in others ...

The world testifies to God. But isn't God.

"Either everything is God or nothing is, you cant have it both ways"

Logically correct. If all that existed (before anything else existed) was God, then it always will be. "All" can not be increased. It can only be partitioned..
