You had to go all the way back to 1978!
So its like discriminating against discrimination on the basis that it was discrimination because of discrimination?
Are those 'prohibited programs' still prohibited?
Scraping the barrel. How is it racism if the attacker was white too?
Not just barrel-scraping, but I reckon you clawed your way
right through the barrel there.
There are numerous arguments showing that modern cosmology is
no better than medieval superstition.
Let me just elucidate one.
If all the matter in the universe were in a space a billion light-years across,
then the escape-velocity of that would be greater than the velocity of light.
(Do the...
Its a utilitarian issue.
Legalizing the killing of people will lead to more suffering.
Compare your argument to the firearms issue.
Gun-owners claim that people owning guns does not cause killing.
You perhaps make the error of assuming that people will do what is right
when given the power to...
Peer-pressure-review as the means to
agreeing to fund one another for their various sophistries.
Its a bit like asking:
How come Mussolini did not realize that fascism was fascist?
Ok. So if you don't actually just quote me an example,
and instead you go off on a tangent, or ask for clarification, then
you have effectively, just answered
'no' (but with bells and whistles)
Do YOU think superstition is bad?

Not sure what prooftexting is, even after doing a search on it.
Nonetheless, here is a thread from my own ideas, which maybe is helpful:

Epiphenomenon is a word commonly used by academic materialists to relegate the mind to a situation
of being a causally worthless article. Essentially it lies at the bottom of materialist brainwashing.
Typically one's mind is constructed as having no active agency this way:
Your 'mind' is just...
Well perhaps they have chosen the path that leads to the latter.
But is it possible that 'people' that do not actually believe
that the mind is more than illusion, are in fact not conscious beings?
It just makes no sense to decide that one is an epiphenomenon;
and I am struggling to find a way...
That is a bit ambiguous.
I'm not sure if you mean that you want the exact religious quote from the bible
that tells us this. It is in the new testament somewhere. Perhaps read the whole testement
sometime? Or do you want spoon-feeding?
Or perhaps you want me to demonstrate my own faith through...
So you think that Christ nailed to a cross is an escape from reality?
Wow, you must have a pretty horrid reality to escape from.
It does not get more real than that, old bean.
That is you belief.
Science is the child of religion.
Your lack of historical data is selective and blatantly anti-religious propaganda.
Once you subvert the ethic of religion, you end up with fascism or communism.
And if you cannot tell the difference between somebody who truly knows God
and...
And by that you mean use legislative force to threaten people into buying
corporate snake-water and other hocus-pocus dressed up in the veneer of science.
Why is it that American medicine costs 3 times British medicine and there is no
diffrence in life expectancy unless most of it is bobbledigook?
