Sure, Ted. After you explain how WTC-7 collapsed in less than seven
seconds, despite not even having been hit. The only theory which fits
the facts is a controlled implosion -- and given that the DoD, FBI, and
Secret Service *all* had offices in that building, you can rest assured
that no rag-tag band of Muslim extremists could have enjoyed the kind of
unfettered access that would have been required to plant the thermite or
similar charges.
Hoo boy. Ken's become one of those.

An activist atheist, chastising me for having the temerity to
question authority?!? Now, I've seen *everything*. You have betrayed
your first principles; I honestly don't know what to say, my friend.
When you can provide me with a credible explanation of how WTC-7
could have collapsed in less than seven seconds as the result of a
hydrocarbon fire -- and how there could have been molten steel at the
bottom of that pile of rubble -- I will regard my current suspicions as
having been put to rest. But until then, you will forgive me if I
choose to indulge my natural curiosity, even if fear has frozen yours.
Let me leave you with a few quotations for freethinkers:
"Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by
which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense."
"There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's
perfectly all right; they're the aperture to finding out what's right.
Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must
survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny."
-- Carl Sagan
"How many things we held yesterday as articles of faith which today
we tell as fables."
-- Michel E. de Montaigne
"Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every
preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses
nature leads, or you shall learn nothing."
-- Thomas H. Huxley
"The fundamentalists, by 'knowing' the answers before they start
(examining evolution), and then forcing nature into their straitjacket
of their discredited preconceptions, lie outside the domain of
science--or of any honest intellectual inquiry."
-- Stephen Jay Gould
"Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact,
every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God;
because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of
reason, than that of blindfolded fear".
-- Thomas Jefferson
"For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being
obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change
opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but
found to be otherwise"
-- Benjamin Franklin
"The biggest cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid
people are so sure about things and the intelligent folks are so full
of doubts."
"Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources
of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom."
-- Bertrand Russell
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it people will
eventually come to believe it."
-- Joseph Goebbels

Nope, cowboy. This is about an athiest -- one I have known and
worked alongside for a *long* time -- abandoning his first principles.
It is also about athiests behaving like born-again Christians: taking
things on blind faith and without searching thought. If it is
unflattering and intellectually disgraceful when they do it, how is it
any different when you do it?
Remember, 9/11 has to be a conspiracy, by definition. It's a
question of whether you believe one unbelievable "crackpot conspiracy
theory" or another -- especially when the first cannot be reconciled
with the known facts. Don't forget Dr. Hawking's famous definition of
science....

It isn't "blind" faith, it is YOU who is blind, and not us. "I once was

Thomas, Kaldis likes to parade his " piety" when it suits him and when
he can use it to attack others, in this case Ken Smith. It's been
pretty much established that Theodore Kaldis doesn't actually FOLLOW
the Bible or Jesus Christ's teachings, but he fakes it online fairly
well. Ya gotta understand that the Kaldis-Smith relationship is a
love-hate thing. They obsess over each other ( check the amount of
posts by each in the past two weeks alone) and Kaldis is a big
hypocrite in so many ways its pathetic.

The problem is, in this case, when Kaldis tried to parade his "piety",
instead of any kind of succesful attack, he just demonstrated he doesn't
really know much about his own Bible, and that the atheists, skeptics,
cynics, and heathen unbeliever actually know the Bible better than he
does. Par for the course - or, rather, double bogey for the course.

Christians. And judging by your own words over the years Kaldis, you
don't know G-d yourself.

One thing is for sure: we know "God's Word" better than you do. Did you
have any luck finding where in the Gospels Jesus said that unbelievers
would say "You are a fool" to believers, as you claimed? He didn't
actually say that, did He? People often call you a fool, but that's
because you're a fool, not because you think you're a believer.
Regardless, it's clear you know NOT God's word, not even as well as the

Ted may have a point here. Since it's been established that
if Ted's god appears in the Bible, his name is generally translated as
Ba'al, Ted would know his word better than us. Ba'al's word wasn't
recorded, so most people wouldn't have access to whatever it was he
said.
Ted, however, having direct access to the demon posing as
Ba'al, knows his word all too well.

Do you understand the point here? You claimed that Jesus said that
unbelievers would call believers fools. Nowhere in the Bible are there
any verses which make that claim. It was an example of something about
the Bible which I knew better than you did. You're trying to retreat
into the "us good, them bad" bigotry and prejudice typical of Christian
fundamentalists. What you did was snip out the embarrassing stuff which
shows how you were wrong about the Bible, while an unbeliever was
correct about the Bible. In snipping it out, you're pretending I didn't
write what I actually wrote. Really, just for a minute, consider that
your preferred technique here isn't fooling anyone. It's only
reinforcing your current reputation as a dishonest, ignorant, possibly
illiterate Christian wanna-be. And the more you do it, the more we laugh
at you, especially every time you "get spiritual" on us.

From Men's Fitness magazine (Dec. 2001) on the advantages of
cardio [p. 148]:
Last, but hardly least, regular aerobic exercise correlates to
better sexual function, according to Kinsey Institute researcher
Debby Herbenick. "A history of vigorous exercise may benefit
men in the areas of sexual desire as well as erectile function --
both the ability to have erections and their firmness."
How so? "It's valuable to remember that sexual activity is a
form of exercise, so it makes sense that men and women who
are physically active may also enjoy better sexual performance."
The physiological reason is that exercise enhances blood flow,
the dynamo of erections. But there's also a psychological factor.
"Physically active men may have a better body image, feel
more confident in sexual situations, ad be more likely to see

also hypothesize that those who biuld endurance may carry this
endurance over into sexual activity." Or as a bumper sticker
reads: RUNNERS DO IT LONGER.

So I've said "ugga booga". Why don't you go ahead and confess with your

shall have eternal life. Where's the loss in that?
The loss of honor and self-integrity due to sacrificing reason for a
nothing backed up by warm fuzzy emotions of "burning in the bosom."
Ted feels no shame in such an endeavor, because he needs the false hope
Christianity provides far more.
Christianity provides _TRUE_ hope. If only Ken would learn how to avail
himself of it, he would certainly be far happier.
He often comes home to an empty hotel room in a strange city, and probably
has cause to wonder whether life has any meaning at all.
Nah, that never happens. I'll plug in my laptop, connect through the network
(if LodgeNet is available there) or else dial up Worldnet, and start pounding
away. And I'll turn on the tube and see what's on. (If I'm in Dallas, they
have heaps of religious programming on the TV there.) Or maybe I'll just dig
the Gideons Bible out of the drawer and start reading and meditating on the
Word of God. Or if I'm not in such a spiritual mood, I might run down to the
hotel bar for a few brewski's and shoot the bull with the bartender.

The problem is, in this case, when Kaldis tried to parade his "piety",
instead of any kind of succesful attack, he just demonstrated he doesn't
really know much about his own Bible, and that the atheists, skeptics,
cynics, and heathen unbeliever actually know the Bible better than he
does.
THe atheists, sceptics, and cynics are fooling themselves. They know NOT
God, nor His Word.
"TyreIron" Kaldis is fooling himself. He knows NOT the Great Pumpkin
nor his word...

It isn't "blind" faith, it is YOU who is blind, and not us. "I once was
lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see." You are spiritually
DEAD, and cannot see spiritual things. And mere human thought CANNOT
resolve spiritual issues. You might have once "gotten the T-shirt", but
you were apparently NEVER "born again".
If it is unflattering and intellectually disgraceful when they do it,
how is it any different when you do it?
"God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise"
(1 Cor. 1:27). You have to HUMBLE yourself in order to receive Christ.
If you value the honour of men greater than the salvation that God has
provided for you, then you won't have either -- which certainly seems to
be the case for you.

Stick around. Ted's brother-in-law has been incarcarated in the L.A.
County Jail for the past thirty months or so for allegedly throwing his
ILLEGITIMATE four-year-old daughter (you know how those Christians can
be!) Lauren off a 40-meter-high sheer cliff to her death. The trial is
scheduled to start here in a couple of weeks -- and the kind of whining
you will hear from The Teddious One should be unprecedented in recorded
history.

The evidence we've been privy to makes Cameron look guilty,
however, we've not been show all of the evidence.
And if (when) found guilty on the primary charge of first
degree murder, Cameron will get sent to prison for life. Spending the
next 30 years or so in protective custody (child killers don't tend to
last long in the general population), will really hamper his spend it
as fast as he earns it life style.
