I joined the ACLU because I thought they were fighting to protect my rights. They put my name in a computer and started asking for money every two weeks. Then they take on all these fights with major corporations, the ones that can write a check to ACLU to make it go away. They fight to take down the ten comandments, and other religious things that really get media attention and the checks rolling in. But do they really care about our rights, or is this just another organization sucking money from the ignorant folks like I used to be?

I have been wondering how this is explained: for a designer to exist at all, some of the very laws and aspects of nature you say are designed would have to already exist.

And the cliche - where did that designer come from and what laws of nature were used to bring it into being?

Discuss.

I always thought they were concaved, but when you look at them as convexed, they dont look like craters at all, they look like huge rocks/ meteorites that are protruding from the ground.
I noticed this long ago, but just remembered whilst looking at some pics.

Take a look at this pic on the ESA (European Space Agency) website, make sure you zoom in on it when its downloaded, this ones about 2 meg>

Additional Details

Look at the pic and then answer please.

You can see that if they are concaved then the shadows on the rims are wrong.
If they are convexed and protruding from the ground then the shadows are correct.

Please dont answer without seeing the pic.
Im very good at English and dont need an explanation of vocabulary terms such as the meaning of 'concaved' thank you. It just means youve missed the point.

Is it because we know you're dellusional?

Dont you know a belief can trigger a feeling. So, your "feeling" is no evidence that God exist

If using the term "civil union" got us full legal rights and privledges of marriage, would it be smarter to wait for another day to battle the social implications of "separate but equal"?

I ask because I suspect that there are many who simply oppose the term "marriage," and because progress is often more effectively made in baby steps than one giant leap.

Your thougths?

Why is it Bible this, Bible that...I really don't think a book that says a guy raised from the dead and did a bunch of stuff that anyone with a decent brain knows is ridiculous is a good source for a history lesson. So what OTHER written evidence than the bible is there of jesus existance? I just saw an answer where someone said that there is more evidence for jesus than of Alexander the Great...Ummmm...suuuure. I would actually be willing to be a christian and give it another chance if you could actually prove the guy the religion is based around existed with another source than an obviously fictional, contradicting book, that, in it's original version states the world is flat, but it seems jesus forgot to build a beautiful lighthouse, Name a city after him or get written about in all the ancient texts from a third person, non-biased perspective giving detailed accounts of his life from all nationalities...so if I am wrong, plz tell me where I can find these.

The burden of proof is on you

YOU HAVE TO PROVE THAT GOD IS REAL. The unexplained is not proof

I was walking to school today and some guy driving by shot his head out of the car, wolf whistled, and screamed "Damn", and then sped away. Why do they do that? Do they think it makes us want them, or something? Is it supposed to makes us feel good? Because it irritates the hell out of me.
