Atheists are permitted to marry in this country. Your argument fails.
In atheist churches, by atheist ministers, yes of course. In the eyes of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and in the eyes of man. Can't believe I forget about that.
(might be FSTDT.com's first ever agnostic fundie?)
Agnostics: People who are willing to admit they know nothing, because the 1st step in knowing is admitting you don't know.
Atheists: People who know everything because their al-mighty white-coat priests tell them so. It's apparently far beyond their egotistical capacity to say "I dunno". A religion, based around denying the possibility that anything could exist beyond material perception. Even though many of their white coat priests have believed in alternate universes and alternate dimensions themselves.
For once, I take a side, but not blindly. Because I don't dig sticky thinking. If agnostics do something stupid I'll call them stupid just the same. Although agnostic is a rather general term. Agnostics believe in possibilities, but beyond that, believe in nothing. Atheists just believe in science, a man-made establishment. From my experience, many, just like theocratic christians, attribute a disbelief in evolution to meaning that that person MUST believe in a religion... Just like theocratic christians believe that if your not "conservative", you MUST be "liberal".
Lets deal blows, c'mon, it's atheists vs. agnostics.
The Church doesn't have to bend over for gays. And I don't want to see it bend over. Why don't the gays have their own churches and stop trying to push their buggery on heterosexual churchgoers?
nothing wrong with gay matrimony
as long as the government is willing
to pay for a long honeymoon in a
concentration camp or Niagra Falls

More rights to gays and lesbians--but not marriage.

Look.... Paganism was the 1st world order, monotheism was the next world order, which is almost at it's end now. The New Age will be the next world order, the NWO..... They'll be using global warming sham to get everyone on board this "we are one, lets save the world"... And at that point people will no longer be allowed to view themselves as sovereign, independent individuals..
First of all, evolution isn't science. It's a fervent ideology held by many scientists and non-scientists, who pressure dissenting scientists into towing that line, through withholdings of grants, terminations of employment, and general intimidation for simply thinking different.
(Might as well declare that all Aspies should be NT's, because NT's run the world. It's a stupid argument.)
Secondly, how can you arbitrarily say that ID "cannot be science"? You've certainly made sure to cover your bases with that blanket, if random, statement! But, are you saying that "science" (the often-flawed process by which scientists attempt to determine truth) will always be too stupid to recognize our Creator? No matter how obvious He may choose to make himself in the future, "science" will remain blind to him? The head-in-the-sand argument is a cop-out, plain and simple. It's intellectual dishonesty, no matter how terms are parsed and twisted and an attempt to try and put God outside of the realm of evidensibility.
What is marriage, and what are its limits? Can I marry an animal? A tree? A rock? A city? A child? Myself? A ghost? An idea? A philosophy? A boat? A legal system? Janet Reno? I mean, where are we going to set the limits?
Who/what should humans be able to legally marry, and why? Is a threshold ever reached where a type of marriage becomes nonsensical and therefore too problematic to be considered a good idea?
There are people in this world who wish to legally marry each of the things I mentioned in my list. But they are almost always denied legally doing so. Case by case, why?
And, please -- no one play the tired line, "How dare you compare something as great and noble as gay sex with bestiality! !1! !11!11!1One!1! !1!"
For all those who claim there are thousands of religions, it seems there's only 2 major worldwide religions to consider - Christianity and Islam (Muslims). The next religion, Hinduism, is mostly an Indian religion and the fourth highest, Buddhism, isn't even a religion. It would seem unlikely that God would only reveal himself to some isolated group of people and ignore the rest of the world.
Therefore, people have no excuse. It's clear God exists (only the 2%ers, the atheists who probably hate God, disagree) and there's really only 2 religions to consider. I think everyone should examine Christianity and Islam to see which is most likely to be true.
I was reading one of WP geek's article http://unlearningasperger.blogspot.com - I did consider writing something like this. I think some of the advice is good. It tries to break the logical thinking tendencies. But to achieve success you have ,too surrender all.
Do you know a song called “I Surrender All” it goes like this
I Surrender All
I Surrender All,
I Surrender All,
I Surrender All,
Stop this logical thinking and surrender to Jesus Christ, Our Lard and Saviour. If you can become a good Christian and be saved in the process, you are an the right track in becoming a NT.
