Are you like the rest of the liberals here that keep throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks and then move on to more crap, or do you EVER answer questions about your outrageous posts?

1. Do you stand by your statement the "believers" aren't capable of critical thinking which includes the Clintons, the Obamas and other liberals?

2.Are any of these people capable of critical thinking?

HILLARY ASKS BLACK PASTORS FOR SALVATION...

3. Do you answer questions or do you just run your mouth all day long impressing yourself?

Al,
No...thinking that a mythical God is involved in random acts of natural origin suppresses critical thinking in other, more important topics.
I don't see how dismissing one's survival as a product of "random chance" involves critical thinking. Any moron can just say, "Oh, you just got lucky." Where's the meaning in that?

It's natural for the survivors of near-death experiences to attribute their good fortune to a higher purpose. It's a reflection of how much they (and we) value such a fragile thing as our own lives. It's also a reflection of humanity's desire to find meaning in life.

What's so amusing about that? Where would all of that fit in to your "world of random chance"?

Personally, I find it more amusing that those who don't believe in a higher power and think that everything is just due to "random chance" are all too quick to call out "karma" whenever it suits them. How is "karma" compatible with "dumb luck"?
