As there is no proof that Christianity is actually correct about the nature of reality, the consideration must be made that God does not exist and that all traditions and beliefs which are based upon God's...  read more...

2. I even named one of my kids after him, but he's not the best artist of all time. I could buy an argument that he was the best colorist of all time (though some, not I, would argue Matisse). And as grenache points out, this does injustice to the great artists of other media... Rodin, Gaudi, Calder. Certainly to da Vinci and Raphael, who worked in other media as well. And one must not forget Parrhasius of Greece, whose painting of a covered painting actually fooled an entire town. read more...

3. Absinthe was not banned because it was inherently dangerous. It was banned because unethical companies were producing cheap versions of it which included ingredients like lead, turpentine, and mercury. Think about the "Lost Generation"... They were big absinthe drinkers yet none of them went blind. It was because they could afford the good stuff. read more...

4. "Abortion is not acceptable under any circumstance because it kills life." -- So the victim has to bear the child of the rapist? What if the rapist was her father? Still not acceptable? There are circumstances under which it would be immoral NOT to allow an abortion. "Any life is innocent and we should keep them ongoing." -- Genetic deformities can occur before birth and cause the baby to be a sociopath... If this child is born and grows, others will inevitably suffer and die... Would you call that life innocent? Worth keeping ongoing? Theoretically speaking, of course. read more...

You've not made a comment on 'The Great Debate yet Ozzie man. Anything you may wish to add For or Against will be appreciated.

Nice comment on the post javiyadi made. It's quite scary how brainwashed people like that can be. I was quite disturbed when I read the post about your Starbucks experience.

Ozzie, i'm tired of you being ahead of me in the rankings.....please stop for god sakes.

Ozzie, you do a good job I enjoy reading your posts.

Theistic evolution is the method used by God. Deism is the watchmaker crap and "intelligent design" nonsense with an impersonal God who doesn't give a flying crap about humans.
by Mark on 08 Jun 2008 02:30:49
Nice resume. Don't listen to celva_olva, Catholics being Catholics believe in evolution.

I really enjoy your posts (Y)

I noticed you on the other site...if you want to do any 1 on 1 debates let me know. Haven't did one in a while.

You are welcome.

If he accepted it then that was his mistake but catholics being catholics don't believe it. i don't believe that he said that anyway b/c i watch everything that comes on television about the pope and i didn't see or hear about that at all. i even asked my priest and he never saw that. even if he did accept it my views are not going to change cuz i think evolution is wrong and no one can change my mind.

I thought that you were a sort of friend of mine, whose name is Ozzy and his last name is Darwiche. I should have assumed that "Ozzy" was not so rare. Where I live is a speck in a million.

Impressive profile resume.

Oh i don't. Although you did strike a nerve. It is my duty as an Englishman to get on my high horse if someone calls it soccer. I am ok now.

I have enjoyed reading your posts Ozzie. Nice to see someone who has a rational outlook on this site. Keep up the good work. I see you have had a conversation with TYwhy about dinosaurs on the ark, lol.
by StBalders on 01 Jun 2008 22:17:28
I am under 18, but 11? And baby-dinosaurs, what's wrong with that? Was it the word choicing ("baby")? Or is there some reason that baby dinosaurs wouldn't be able to be on the ark? And the amount of time to get animals on the ark- more than 40 days? I could see it completed in a week.

Nah! You are most likely not.
