At least we know where we are going, I think most Christians don't.

I believe the Christian theology. If I am wrong I will have lived a better, fuller life for it and lost nothing.

On the other hand, if you are wrong you will pay a tragic price.

"What profit is it to a man to gain the world and lose his soul?"

I will not argue my religion with you, neither will I argue your religion of the church of global climate change. I now know the purpose for which you are here in this forum and will from this point ignore you.

Have a nice day!

nothing like the sanctimony of the religion of atheism. you do realize that science cannot prove that atheism is right. Logic does not allow the proving of negative so it is not possible to make a logic argument that states that there is "no god". so your faith in atheism seems similar to the religions that you have contempt for. if you need some help, i can refer you to several college logic texts to give you a hand coming to grips with logic. that is what science is supposed to use in problem solving....though many scientists confuse their opinions with facts.........

Thank you for the nice day wish, same to you.
If you wish to ignore me that is fine but you are wrong about why I came to this venue. I just picked up on this thread and jumped in, I love repartee with someone who totally disagrees with me and I think you and I would disagree on just about everything. In a previous post I mentioned that I had 9 Gecko drives. I have one CNC router running and another under construction. Next is a plasma cutter. No hard feelings, I just love a good political argument. I hope I didn't offend.
Take care,
Donna

Actually I misstated, I'm more of an agnostic. I'm not contemptuous of religion, I just don't know. Was raised in the church but now find the Christian religion to be nonsensical. Science can make no proof about god or religion because it is outside the realm of the scientific method. You can't do experiments on god.

Any athiest who complains about Christmas lights is an idiot. The Christmas celebration, like many other so-called Christian celebrations, was stolen from the Pagans. It was not called Christmas and had different names but they all had in common the fact that they were a mid-winter festival, Winter Solstice actually, and these predate the coming of Christianity by hundreds or thousands of years.

I am contemptuous of religion and i am an atheist!

I believe the Christian theology. If I am wrong I will have lived a better, fuller life for it and lost nothing. On the other hand, if you are wrong you will pay a tragic price. "What profit is it to a man to gain the world and lose his soul?"

If there was an all encompassing god, it wouldn't care about you and if it did, it controls everything so who cares.

If you you believe in god you go to a better place? If that ends up being true good for you, but since i am a heathen, I will go to hell?

Sounds like a human concept, to fear you into believing something...a real god doesn't need me to believe....

I personally think i am a better person because I choose to be good and help my fellow man, not because I fear an all powerful super being that tells me I am going to hell if i don't.

And just a side note... most atheists think life ends when you die... if it am wrong and go to hell (even though i am good) still a win win because I just thought I ended.

Better a life in hell than no life at all!

I cant wait for that all over tan! The chicks will really dig me then!

wasn't this a discussion on GW?

Damn Ive turned into a forum troll!

This avoids much of the laborious regulatory process of having some engineer revue each element of the design. I also have a friend who's a nuclear engineer that oversaw the deconstruction of Three Mile Island after that mishap. After many conversations with him I'm sure it can be done right, it just takes a commitment. . Donna

Dear Donna,

Leaving aside the current religious debate, and returning to the original one about "global warming" or "whatever", I'm entirely with you.

France has had a comprehensive nuclear programme for many years and , I believe, stuffs a whole load of nuclear-generated electricity through submarine cables to the UK. France has had no problems, and neither has the UK. It seems to work as a renewable energy source without any great impact as the depletion of fossil fuels which might be better deployed otherwise for the manufacture of plastics, lubricants, etc etc. This is a vital natural resource.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of pissing away fossil fuels, and it has nothing to do with "global warming" or "climate change".

My modest take on this, is that it would be a huge tragedy to see my tiny country covered in wind-farms that will have an absolutely minimal prospect of large-scale electricity generation, recommended by "experts" with snouts in the trough, and crowed about by politicians who attempt to convince the electorate that they are some kind of "planet saving" saints .

Most of our leaders trained as lawyers. No need for further comment.

End of rant....

Best wishes,

Martin
