If you say so. It's wrong though.

The "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat" have it right.

BTW, read Hilaire Belloc's "Great Heresies." Belloc is a great historian who uncompromisingly and clearly tells the truth. Wrote from 1905'ish to 1950'ish. Reading "The Crisis of Civilization" right now.

Anywho, Belloc identifies Muhammadism rightly that they may well threaten our race and way of life in the future as they did during the Middle Ages -- this was back in 1905.

so we have to strive to greatness by killing our enemies? i prefer the love happiness and fun ideal. didn't say it was a realistic option for humanity now. surely we would be 'greater' as a spieces if there was no such word as enemy.

as for your reference to authors, thank you i may find a copy and do some reading. i will now say though, predicting that muslims and christians would be at war in the future after the past we have shared? not exactly george orwell.

The problem is that virtually everyone's happiness involves stepping on someone else's happiness in some way. And when one person decides that his happiness requires killing you, you have few choices other than killing him before he kills you.

not always true, sometimes you can be happy making someone else happy.

Like the time I stuck a $20 bill in a bums shirt pocket at Xmas time, it made me happy to help the homeless in a small way and it probably kept him happy and drunk for a whole week.

Sure, but you stepped on the happiness of the stripper you would have otherwise given it to.

TANSTAAFL, friend. Nobody wins.

Yes, but if you're wealthy enough to be able to hand out twenty dollar bills to bums (or strippers), you probably stepped on the happiness of a very large number of people to get there (and likely still do to maintain it).

lol i know that one john. first fencing job i ever did on my own, quoted supplied and erected by mself. i charged an absolute pittance at £255 for 3 days of labour and materials. the guy agreed to the quote then argued when it came to paying. he even used physical threats ...he has 'been in the game for 25 years more than me he isnt a chump' etc etc. i wondered why he didnt build it himself..

in the end he knocked me down £5 paid in cash and told me to sod off before he got really angry.

I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with a religion that's sole purpose is to offend Muslims.

They could wear those cross shirts.

Call their dogs or their noodlees (or their dog's noodlees) Allah.

Use the swoop symbol.

Be Jewish.

Well, the Atheists are too busy with Christians. Hindus are too pacifist. How about the Jews? Yeah, Muslims might find their existence pretty offensive.

Chairboy · « **Reply #43 on:** December 15, 2007, 01:28:42 PM »

Too busy w/ the Christians? Maybe we need to rethink our policy and start coming door to door in the morning handing out pamphlets and proselytizing about the virtues of Atheism if you think that.

All y'all religions are silly, and you're entitled to believe whatever you want, just don't bring my kids into it and keep yer bibles, qurans, torahs and whatnot off my constitution.

AKIron · « **Reply #44 on:** December 15, 2007, 01:31:34 PM »

I'd be satisfied if you folks just stopped attacking our right to free speech. I want you to have the right to practice your nonreligion religion however you see fit so long as it doesn't prevent me from doing the same.
