This only works for someone who makes science their religion, and arrogance their theology. I've never known a scientist who wasn't arrogant, or didn't value his own opinion above anyone elses.

The Bible says all men are without excuse. Even those who are given no good reason to believe and many persuasive reasons to disbelieve have no excuse, because the ultimate reason they do not believe is that they have deliberately rejected God.

Just pass over the words, they hold no meaning for you, like a dose of common sense.

Frightened? Egads, man. People know the tea party has nothing to do with religion. Noe Joy Behar on a good day...that's scary.

Let's see if I can rephrase this...

I've never known a rabid Christian who wasn't arrogant, or didn't value his own opinion above anyone elses.

Yup - works for me...

It's a good thing there aren't many rabid Christians then. How many have you met? That's what I thought, not one.

Wouldn't you say there are many more rabid atheists? The only court cases are against Christians who are forced to defend their right to believe.

WE all know the Jews didn't cause the plight of the Germans, yet how does history tell us they were persecuted? Religion is going through a similar age of persecution. Show me a case where an atheist is being forced to believe in God. Christians can't pray, raise a cross, or share a verse, without being sued.

Rabid atheists are far more prevalent and dangerous.
