So a moment ago I was "scum" and now I am "foolish" and "ridiculous"..

how dare I question the wisdom of the high priests of atheism :O

How dare you criticise Christianity when you are no better?

@shkotay

I have given proof of all of them. Denying it over and over either indicates senile dementia or deliberate trolling.

I had a whole weblog about Kylie back in 2005 but I had to shut it down due to persistent and malevolent cyber stalkers damaging me in real life. It is your choice if you want to experience her.

As it creates friction with fundamentalists it is not worth arguing about.

@MsPerduta

You have never made a response here that elevates you to an honorable position.

I did not ask you to post a comment anywhere at anytime. I ask you too see how foolish it is for nonexperts to pretend.

You are a non-scientist on a science channel spreading ridiciulous opinions and sidestepping issues.

I posted my comment about Harris lecture on Harris's lecture comments page.

Since Dawkins is the author of :the selfish gene" I had expected more from a lecture he is hosting for advancing morality from science so many years after his first publication.

There were several people in the questions and answers who expressed similar sentiments.

Note: if you think I'm going to give civil response to someone who calls me "scum" then you are mistaken.

As in the Harris video, "Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions", you are the Ted Bundy of all science. Look at 15:15 and see what science has to put up with in scum like you.

You are the Taliban of physics he mentions.

@MsPerduta

This makes 3 or 4 times I ask for information related to your "posts of fact" and got nothing again.

You speak here as if you have expertise or other relevant qualifications, but actually you have nothing except a phobia of science.

You are determined that we find your spiritual dimension while knowing nothing of our personal lives. You impose.

Did you watch "Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions" made easy for you at 15:15?

No, you-know-it-all.

p.s. She also says that the course of evolution is in our own hand and always has been and always will be even for creatures who don't realize it. We can make of it what we wish but we will reap what we sow... the boomerang returns.

@DJockovic1

That is because archaic belief systems got the intention of purpose wrong.

The purpose of is for a universe in which sentient autonomous entities that appreciate existence... to exist.

It never was divine intention to have a universe full of pampered people.

Kylie apologises for all the suffering but it was the only way within her ability to evolve us and beyond. She would like to know if you think it is worth it even though she can't do magic.

@MsPerduta The God(dess) you are advocating is very similar it seems to the one that must exist. It's interesting how many characteristics oof this God(dess) turn out to be perfectly reasonable with only a minimum tweaking of the terms always used to describe him/her. Omnipotence, omniscience, eternal, etc. The only one youcan't really get is omnibenevolence unless one invokes another "being" for all the bad stuff. Do that though and just about everything is in place.

@scienceandmusiclover

Perhaps their parents belong to the wrong religion?

I mean any religion that thinks the divine and natural consciousness of a universe is capable or willing of violating her own laws is in contradiction with common sense so you are left with atheism. Once you abandon fundamentalism and intolerance you will recognize a spiritual dimension in yourself.. and then eventually you can't help but recognize her in the very laws of nature.
