Uh, who exactly do YOU speak for . . . . yourself, or God?

Or don't you think there is any difference?

Thanks for sharing your religious opibnions with us. Why is the

of

attention

at

all to them?

Maybe prayer should be banned in classes but do you really think
that a child giving a valedictorian speech should be banned from
mentioning their religion? A child can get in trouble for say

"God."

That's not right. And should tax money for schools only go to the
places that don't want religion taught, or should parents have the
choice of how their education dollars are spent? Are you saying
that religious people's tax dollars should be taken from them to
be spent on an education that goes against their beliefs?

Yes.

Please don't waste you time reading or replying to
my posts.

I see that you have no answers to his question: Why _should_ the rest

of

the

world give a damn about _your_ religions opinions?

--
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes

Why should anyone care about your question?

Simple. Unless you can tell us why we should pay more attention to

_your_

religious opinions than those of (for example) Lenny's pizza delivery

boy,

or

the Pope, or Osamni ben Laden, we're not at all likely to take you

seriously.

You have again dodged the question. Why _should_ anyone give a damn

about

_your_ religious opinions. Pray be specific.

Do
you think it is especially profound?

Not really. I just think that it's basic. If you refuse to say why we

should

listen to you, we're not likely to listen to you. Even a creationist

cretin

should be able to figure that out. You're now the _second_ creationist

cretin

in two days whose intelligence I've overestimated. I must try to do

better.

I looked up the
meaning to your Latin quote and found it to be a waste
of time.

How sad. I had to learn Latin in school and found it to be a statement

of

the

obvious.

You could say the same thing to everyone that posted
about any subject on any newsgroup.

Nope.

What do you think
is necessary for someone to post?

To expose creationist cretins for the dolts that they are.

Maybe that someone
else might find it interesting, or have similar ideas, or have
an opposing idea with good arguments to change my mind?

I don't give a damn about your mind. Creationist cretins almost always

have

solid oak from ear to ear and _will not_ change.

Now, there may be lurkers who aren't set in their ways, and who can

look

at

who gives reasons and who makes valid arguments... and who doesn't.

Or maybe there are people who have experienced things
in a way that most people haven't and don't get a lot of
validation because their ideas are not mainstream while still
useful.

You've had a chance to state your reasons for saying what you do.

You've

dodged it with Lenny several times and with me once.

Did I say anything that suggested that my ideas should be
considered in a more favorable light than anyone else's?

yes. See your handle.

Do you read before you post your one note responses. I
watched you do that to Mark Ernest,

Aah... who's Mark Ernest? Do you have a Google URL showing even post

I've

made in reply to him? I did a Google search 'cause I didn't remember

even

seeing that name. I used

<http://www.google.com/groups?as_oq=Mark%20Ernest&safe=images&ie=UTF-8&oe=UT

F-

8&as_uauthors=patrickjames@newsguy.com&lr=&hl=en> and found nada.

I suspect that you've mistaken me for someone else.

who is sincere and
who added to my understanding of another point of view.
What do you contribute?

Stomping creationists.

I'm sure you have interests in
something, why don't you find a place where you can share
and be part of something bigger than your self...

I already have. Stomping creationists.

What does the handle "NotSoQuick" have to do
with pretending to be special? And you don't speak
for anyone else. So don't try to intimidate people by
talking about "what 'we' think".

you still haven't answered my question. I answered yours. Do be a good lad
and _try_ to answer mine _before_ demanding _additional_ answers.

Let me repeat it again (so that you can dodge it for a _third_ time)

Why should the rest of the world give a damn about your religious

opinions?

And when you answer that one, you might also let me know who the hell

'Mark

Ernest' is/was, and why you think that I was mean to him.

And you might explain why your evident lack of education should be of any
interest to anyone in general and to me in particular.

These are simple enoough questions. I trust that I was able to phrase them
simply enough for even a creationist cretin to understand them. I tried to
avoid big words, but had to use a few. Still, you should be able to get a
10-year-old to explain the multisyllable ones to you. Let's see you dodge

the

questions. Again.

If you'd like to list your education so that those who
choose to can be impressed, be my guest. You might
tell me how "NotSoQuick" made you think I was
acting superior, since that was the basis of your personal
attack.
