kwall

you're on a roll tonight.

not to mention that the people don't want it.

even when they do something you agree with, they're still wrong.

i never claimed to know that god interceded on behalf of anything. i have no idea. i merely challenged you on your assertion that it was clearly a matter of chance. my point was that neither of us knows whether or not there is a creative force in the universe or when or where or how such a creative force might be in action.

logic? haha. good one. these are people who are convinced that even natural disasters are partisan events.

wrong again. just making a prediction. i'm encouraged that congress accurately reflected the will of the people. why would i be seeking to absolve them from something that i'm glad they did? makes no sense.

that the Pikia survived the Burgess decimation by chance.

no. just as you cannot prove that it was chance. and that's fine, i'm not attacking you, as your tone seems to suggest. i do maintain, however, that yours is a belief without evidence, as is mine. does hitchens address at all how the random occurrence of a highly ordered system contradicts the second law of thermodynamics?

probably the last week of october. probably because they have an agenda.

and even though they have the majority, i fully expect the democrats to blame the republicans for it. probably bush himself, too. and reagan.

cool. that's some pretty good common ground. i wonder, though, do you have any evidence for this belief?

some would consider this statement to be a pretty good definition of god. agreed. i'm not talking about religion.

i wasn't talking to you.

as a socialist, i didn't think you would consider marx to be very extreme.

serious question: would you be grateful if you received life-saving surgery?
