Old Isaac [Asimov] was SO scientific he feared flying in airplanes. Always took a bus.
Isaac's son was arrested when thousands of kiddie porn pictures were found on his computer in for repairs.
Lovely the ethics and integrity of these atheists....

I am quite relatively scientific, and I absolutely have no desire to propel myself thru the lower atmosphere in a pressurized aluminum tube, and if My son got caught with kiddie porn I would be the first one to beat His ass, but it wouldnt be My fault, so what the Hell is your point?
Just a brief clarification. Asimov had two sons, and the other was modellic as citizen. If the other did so, it´s his problem, not Asimov´s, the same with Jena Bush, in case you´re wondering. And the first one is a phobia which is not even unethic. What´s your point.

Oh yeah... not once did he go overseas, never knew how to drive, didn't own a car...
Never let the facts get in the way of smearing someone.
Oh, Matilde...? Issac only had one son... the other kid was a daughter.
"Old Isaac [Asimov] was SO scientific he feared flying in airplanes. Always took a bus."
So what?
"Isaac's son was arrested when thousands of kiddie porn pictures were found on his computer in for repairs."
So what?

Thank you. You didn't demonstrate that Mr. Asimov's ethics or integrity were anything less than perfect, and you didn't show that his son was an atheist.
I'm acrophobic, and I would rather kill myself than molest children. But how do these things automatically make me a good Cristian?
Oh, and your non-sequiters don't count as logic, either.
Asimov is an atheist.
Atheists are science lovers.
Airplanes are designed and operated using science.
Asimov refused to ride in an airplane,
Therefore Asimov didn't trust the result of science to work properly,
therefore Asimov rejects science.
This doofus sees it as the equivalent of a fundy getting cancer and refusing to pray for a cure.
Examples of Asimov's lack of "ethics and integrity":
"But, if you believe in God, there are usually rituals whereby you may express contrition and be forgiven, and so on. So it seems to me that many people can feel free to sin and repent afterward. I don't. In my way of life, there may be repentance but it doesn't make up for the sin."
"If you are ethical only because you believe in God, you are buying your ticket to heaven or trying to tear up your ticket to hell. In either case, you are just being a shrewd profiteer, nothing else. "
"Unfortunately, many people define wickedness not according to what a person does but according to what a person believes. So an atheist who lives an upright and noble life, let us say, is nevertheless considered wicked."
To me, he sounds a lot more ethical than a lot of fundies.
Lots of people have a fear of flying. Nothing to do with being "scientific" or "unscientific".
As for the kiddie porn, your sources?
“Old Isaac [Asimov] was SO scientific he feared flying in airplanes. Always took a bus.”
He was an engineer. Had a pretty good idea of exactly how safe planes were at that time, and now often they went down. This is more math/statistics than science.
“Isaac's son was arrested when thousands of kiddie porn pictures were found on his computer in for repairs.”
Which only shows that his son wasn’t that inclined to cmoputer technology.
“Lovely the ethics and integrity of these atheists....”
You have some way of showing that being afraid of flying is an ethical dilemna? That Isaac knew of and approved of the child porn?
Seems like ad hominem to me. “You’re wrong about gods because your son is a pedophile.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
