My opinion is that being a "believer" is the lazy way to go, and it's hard to keep the lazy from affecting other aspects of your life. <br /> For instance the cut and paste change from "creationism" to "ID." Also most of the arguments are used over and over instead of actually thinking of new ones. <br /> Those cheap roadside memorials are just an excuse to shove a cross in your face.vallwarriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621492489181305484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-91969754829464724112010-08-22T03:05:43.364-05:002010-08-22T03:05:43.364-05:00He forgot two cheeks...

You don't have to use a cross to memorialize someone. Last time I drove through Arkansas, there were stretches of highway named for fallen officers. It was a simple roadsign naming the road, not some giant cross. <br /> I get sick of people thinking athiests don't serve the community or country. When I was in the navy, my dogtags read "no relg pref." There is an option for that when filling out the paperwork, so that is the box I checked.vallwarriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621492489181305484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-23947788202379722242010-08-20T09:46:13.072-05:002010-08-20T09:46:13.072-05:00I wonder if the writer ever served in the military...I wonder if the writer ever served in the military or as a piece officer. It sometimes seems that these memorials mean more to those who never served. <br /><br />I know that at least three members of the board of the ACA would not their military service memorialized with an instrument of torture.<br /><br />As long the author keeps alternating he can keep turning the other cheek forever.

You know why? No Atheists In Foxholes, that's why! Thbbbttt!!!!<br /><br />Just like every atheist in the world converts on their deathbed, and Christopher Hitchens is going to learn the Truth of God from his illness. Reality be damned, their Jesus-Sense tells them it's true! So it doesn't matter how many servicepeople were outspoken non-Christians or outright non-believers and how many died that way, <b>they</b> know far better than anyone else that those people learned the Truth of Christ the moment they were aware of their imminent death and became True Christians (tm) at that moment, because it couldn't be any other way. Could it?<br /><br />At least, that's how I imagine they justify it, if not consciously then in the twisted subconscious of their over-Christianized brains.HarveyRequiemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211338272331419373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-34520524413980438492010-08-19T19:01:53.043-05:002010-08-19T19:01:53.043-05:00I think this guy is talking about the Utah highway...<b>I think this guy is talking about the Utah highway patrol cross ruling yesterday</b><br /><br />In case he drops by and reads this.
