Apparently not all sheister lawyers follow the sheister lawyer law, “Sheister lawyer shall not betray sheister lawyer.” And some of them are upset about it. They were all so impressed with John Edwards:
“He’s hard-working and a good family man. He comes from a humble background, which means he understands the rights of individuals and wants justice for everybody.”
Justice for everybody, yep, except for the parents who wanted to sue their doctors, but their child died. Or the people in rural areas who need OBs now but cannot get one because the sheister lawyers have driven the malpractice insurance rates through the roof. Oh, and increased the caesarian section rate through the roof too without lowering the rate of cerebral palsy one bit.
“He’s a sincere person, and that resonates here. He comes from a working-class background and is in touch with regular everyday folks.”
As we know most sincere people cheat on their terminally ill spouses and then send the spouse out to defend them against Ann Coulter. And everyone with a working class background who lives in a 28,000 square foot house really knows how to stay in touch with everyday folks. Especially after a $400 dollar haircut and a trip to LA to see the woman you are not seeing anymore.
I think almost everyone who exclaims “Oh My God!” doesn’t have a god … oh no, of course, they do … it’s themselves …
Isn’t the saddest part of being an atheist knowing that if you are right you’ll never be able to say “I told you so”
“Agnostics are intellectual cowards.”
..which paraphrases Dawkins. But strictly speaking an atheist is someone who believes that God does not exist (OED:”To deny the gods/God” also see Enc. Brit.). Even Dawkins admits that this is unproven and unprovable, and which means that a genuine atheist’s belief is irrational.
Indeed Dawkins says there is a vanishingly small chance of the existence of God which means he is effectively a quasi agnostic
Strange that. It would seem that agnostics are intellectually sensible compared to atheists: and Dawkins is one of them.
(Strictly an agnostic believes that it is impossible to prove the existence of God, which may be true, but see below why that is irrelevant.)
The irony is that while atheists often define faith as “Belief without knowledge”, which fits their own position nicely, religions themselves define faith as an act of assent to God’s proof/revelation of Himself: in other words actual knowledge, and reasonable. And for the asking, so says Christ, if sincere/persevering :”God, if you exist, please reveal yourself”, not that any true atheist could say that prayer.
Many atheists attempt to define themselves as “lacking belief”, which their strong anti-religious presumptions betray is not really true, and which is a quasi agnostic position in any case. Poor presumptuous mites. “To hell, to hell, it’s off to hell we go”…to misquote a film I saw once.
Dear Sir/Ma’am
Atheists have a lot more faith than I have, believing that nothing/nobody made something out of nothing.
I find it much easier to believe that Somebody made something out of nothing, when “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Douglas Adams: “Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Yes, but one might reasonably enquire as to who the gardener is.
Two goldfish in a bowl get talking….
Gold Fish 1 says “Do you believe in God?”
Gold Fish 2 replies: “Of course I do. Who do you think changes the water?”
This week, I am mostly believing in Zeus. Put that on a bus, someone.
The scientific probability of the existence of a God is 50/50, that is if you listen to Hawkings and other scientist’s multi-universe theories.
These guys are attempting to prove that there are an infinite number of universes because the constants of the universe have only fairly small margins in which any thing more than a random soup of hydrogen could exist, and the multiplied probabilities mean that the chance is so extremely small that either there are an infinite number of universes or else a God (of some sort). Without further data: 50/50.
So that bus advert is in any case misleading.
There is a similar problem with evolution in that the probability of the kick off requires astronomically more than 14 billion years even with such a large universe, indicating an intervention. If you don’t know: most Christians are not biblical literalists and can accept evolution. Only a small minority are the Creationists so beloved of Dawkins.
Many people will spend money on something in which they believe: Only a small number would spend money in an idea that they are not sure that they want to believe in.
“Support the signwriters stri..”
As I always say “Thank God I’m an atheist.”
“One man’s fish is another man’s poisson”
Dawkins’ favourite quote:”Isnt it enough to see that a garden is beautiful….”
A garden doesnt just happen.. any gardener knows that it takes hard work, dedication, and yes …..DESIGN to make a beautiful garden.
Dawkins is “perishing” and his eyes are blinded by the ruler of this world.
I heard everyone needs something to worship I guess with the atheist its money
I agree with the statement “There’s probably no God” since I cannot prove there is no god. That makes me an AGNOSTIC.
Stop staring at this advert and keep your eyes on the road.
