    Alright. A study on censorship? What were the findings?
  2. Jonathan H. B. Lobl
    One study is suggestive. It can also be flawed and misleading.

    That is a big If. I am making different assumptions and finding different answers. On this point, I am certain. You are mistaken. One more detail. Even if you could prove an intelligent designer -- you have not done so -- it still would not be proof of your god.

    I'm not really following you on that one. It is my firm opinion, that the person who pays the bills, has more authority, than someone who simply joins in.

    As you say, the split is done. Time to let go of the conflict.

    How indeed? There is much in the religious world that is based on "faith" instead of evidence. Structures of belief built on sand.

    The person who hires the band, gets to pick the music.

    Of course. Obvious when you put it that way.

    Property in cyberspace does not have these issues. This is a true creation of the owner; or the owner's agents. We do not all have a claim on it.

    On the subject of correctness, how come this board lets me type "crap" or "manure" but not "**"?
  11. Jonathan H. B. Lobl
    Funny man. Yes. I know what you just said.

    I never said that getting my B.A. made me a better person. It didn't. Only that getting it was a prolonged agony.

    I have a real B.A. It was a torment and an ordeal.

    Alas, how very true.

    I have formed three rules for living with a woman. 1. Always leave the toilet seat down. She cares. Do it. 2. Bring home the flowers, before she gets mad at you. Otherwise, you feel romantic one night, and she wants to know -- What did you do!? 3. Take out the trash. Women hate taking out the trash. Don't ask why. It's a man's job. Just do it. In other matters, I take my cue from the lions. Killing is women's work.

    I have a condition which qualifies as a disability. Most of the time, it is not obvious, but it is there. I am not "differently abled'. What utter bull crap.

    This is all true. The problem is, it gets difficult to make a simple statement, without coming across liker a lawyer. It really impedes simple conversation. IMO.

    There speaks a man of wisdom and experience. I started down that path several times, but never made it to the altar.

    Which Atheist religions did you have in mind?

    Real magic, never works the way it does in the movies. Such is the great sadness of life.

    I have no control over your mind. Only some earnest advice. Keep your wife happy. "Happy wife. Happy life."

    There are others: If religion is music, then Atheism is silence. If religion is hair color, then Atheism is bald.

    The Nazi Storm Troopers all had belt buckles that said -- "God is with us.". We all know how that works. "One nation, under god." Or "In God we trust." So intoxicating. So self righteous. Some things don't change.

    Sometimes, it does. Strange, isn't it?

    Real Taoism still exists. Light and Dark are not in conflict. They are in dynamic harmony. Heat and Cold, Yang and Yin. Hard and Soft. Wet and Dry. There is no war. No conflict. The Jedi and Sith war based on Light and Dark is total crap. The mythology has degenerated to Disney selling toy light sabers and action figures. Disney is after all, the true evil empire. I can also tell you -- as a Reiki Master and Qi Gong practitioner -- the Force Powers don't work that way. Neither are they that much fun.
