It's a nice idea, how many are there around the country. I can't commit to anything at the moment, maybe earlier next year I could attend one.

I was at a funeral and part of the sermon was about jesus. There was a line along the lines of: "What has risen from the grave can never die again" when I heard it, I started thinking about zombies and then on to zombie jesus. I nearly exploded from holding in the laughter, I had to cover my face and step outside. I only hope the old biddies thought I was crying, though the chances are slim.

lol so what you're saying is: people that don't believe what you do should be condemned?
No, I'm saying that people who believe what he believes should be condemned. And I not only said it but I presented a reasoned justification of it. There's plenty of room for reasonable disagreement among people. However, there is no room for "it's a virtue to believe that god wants you to do things, with no rational justification at all, and then to go do those things", because that justifies any imaginable evil. Yes you did, should have read further back before posting. My bad.

xenland doesnt believe in good or evil , for him there is no such things as good or evil If so, then he deserves as much condemnation as honest men can heap upon him. I believe that giving people what they deserve is a virtue -- justice. So I will do my part. lol so what you're saying is: people that don't believe what you do should be condemned?

I went to an atheist convention about 3 years ago, there were a lot of jokes made at the expense of believers, which were all laughed at furiously. I have never heard or seen anything that could make me laugh as much as these people did at every slight, their faces writhing in ridiculous caricature.
Eventually we got to the main speaker, Richard Dawkins was introduced followed by over 5 minutes of standing ovation, some people were clapping so hard, they must have been crippled on the way home. His lecture was slow going, any time he paused for breath, the clapping started up again, sometimes back to another standing clap session. I'll admit I can't remember a single thing he talked about.
After he finished his lecture, followed by some more clapping, came question time. One of the first to stand up was a timid old lady, who introduced herself as some sort of christian, before she could as her question the hall was flooded with laughing and jeering. Eventually she got to ask her question, something fairly level headed about whether people are entitled to their beliefs in the eyes of atheists, RD gave a rather undetailed response followed by a "thank you" signalling that the topic was over and for the next person to ask their question. As she walked back to her seat, no BS, there was booing and hissing and some attempted to get a chant going of "Sit Down".
I left that convention with a really bad taste in my mouth. My opinions on religion haven't changed but I won't identify myself as an atheist anymore. Though I do try to accept everyone with the same level of respect no matter what they believe.
Oh and up until six months ago, they were still emailing me trying to sell shit from the convention. Signed posters, t-shirts and bumper stickers

How does a 28" arrow shaft fly through the air and become a 36" arrow shaft? That was faked, it ain't real, there was no blood. Everybody knows when an arrow hits you you bleed, like a lot.
Please, please don't. I just can't seem to help myself at the moment. Deep breath Taz.. You will not debate this. So, MNW, what the hell were you lot up to? What did you do to piss these guys off?

Though you wouldn't guess from counting my posts on this thread, I am very glad of this decision.

I'm not trying to ridicule you, Taz. I'm not trying to prevent you from leaking any diabolical plots. I'm trying to understand why you seem to have a ready-made, incoherent response to nearly every post in this thread; why you believe that this, for instance: is a valid response to this: So far, my theories are: - You have attention-deficit disorder.
- You are not an American.
- You are being purposely obtuse (trolling).
So, which is it? Haha, very well played. Hmm..Which of these three theories is readily provable, thereby nullifying all I have said and am going to say? Which one will place me in the box with the others that have no right to comment on such matters? Which one, when proven, will validate the other two? Which one do you think, oh wise benjamin? Please bestow your worldly knowledge.

I tried to dig up some list of gibberish you or one of your intellectual brethren posted earlier, but I can't be arsed reading over all those zigzagging, meandering and evasive maneuvers you call arguments. The basic yet incoherent gist of said list, was a collection of tactics the big brother, bully, bad guys that make up the US government, use to prevent leaks of their diabolical plots. One of the most prominent points made was undermining and ridiculing anyone who speaks out against them. Kinda like what you are trying to do to me right now, Ben.

↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ Ahh no, you predicted the opposite. This is offtopic, but just so that no one is duped into listening to our own disinfo agents here... http://govtslaves.info/former-head-of-star-wars-program-says-cheney-main-911-suspect/Dr. Robert M. Bowman, Lt. Col., USAF, ret. flew 101 combat missions in Vietnam. He is the recipient of the Eisenhower Medal, the George F. Kennan Peace Prize, the President’s Medal of Veterans for Peace, the Society of Military Engineers Gold Medal (twice), six Air Medals, and dozens of other awards and honors. His Ph.D. is in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Caltech. He chaired 8 major international conferences, and is one of the country’s foremost experts on National Security. What's fucked up is that anyone involved in that war got fucking peace prizes. Unless of course I'm a little misled by the way it is written.Bowman outlined how the drills on the morning of 9/11 that simulated planes crashing into buildings on the east coast were used as a cover to dupe unwitting air defense personnel into not responding quickly enough to stop the attack.
“The exercises that went on that morning simulating the exact kind of thing that was happening so confused the people in the FAA and NORAD….that they didn’t they didn’t know what was real and what was part of the exercise,” said Bowman Speaking of being misled, do these two sentences really mean the same thing. It takes a creative mind to spin something that far off it's original message.Oh by the way, The Daily Sheep and all of our other reading material goes through a process called proof reading which has two purposes. 1 to make sure our propaganda is backed up by reliable sources. Sources - that's actors in your language. 2 to weed out any grammar and punctuation errors. Without one, you rarely have the other. Though that time is slowly coming to an end with the rise of armchair journalism.

No comment on WTC7?
Does it matter what is said, would anything change your opinion?

Wait, now the problem is that the wings left a mark? I thought the awakened ones had a problem with there not being enough damage caused by the wings.
