Yes just like it is your opinion that a so called genetic abnormality excuses a certain behavior, unless you were just merely pointing out the cause of a certain behavior(without advocating it?) cause if so that would've been another discussion..

[lifeschild1]

What you speak of is something beyond the intellectual capacity of mankind to discern. I speak only of what the religious suggest to be their own reality, which dwells on the cusp of irrationality. Unless you believe that voices come from burning bushes, dead men walk and are resurrected, snakes talk and that there are demons in the sand and trees as discerned in biblical contextualization then be my guest and join them.

Your opinion is only that... an opinion. You haven't anything to say other than this. You don't have to accept anything that I've said here. I'm not your teacher or mentor. Find things out for yourself without asking me.

[Jeruwalter1]

from your perspective, I don't have anything intellectually suggestive to add, only because I don't easily buy into the same reasoning you do..

[lifeschild1]

Thought you were somebody else....still it doesn't matter....I don't think you have anything intellectually suggestive to add to this discussion anyway...only opinion.

But when did i every quote anything from religious scripture in our conversation, in my first reply I even told you that I wasn't religious either....so the cause of "YOUR MADNESS"......is still a mystery.....

I see u here using the stance of science. I don't know if I am mistaken or not, but from my understanding, many quantum and astro-physicists theorize that there are numerous dimensions and different time-spaces through out the cosmos, with the likelihood of each one having its own unique form of existence and possibly even actual lives in them

If its really the issue of you believing in ghosts and demons, have you tried visiting the most well known haunted location near you? or a ouji board?

[lifeschild1]

Angry? No! Frustrated, yes...with the idiocy and the childlike simpleminded illogical thinking of people like you and others who are ignorant of the facts and just spew out their stupidity verbatim! It would be nice that the religious try logical assessment instead of quoting man made scripture! That's illogical!

[lifeschild1]

God had killed more people and living things on this earth than all of the wars derived by mankind combined!

Bacteriological diseases, pathogens, viruses, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc.. 9 million children under the age of 5 each year must be included here. 30 million people in the early 1900's died just from the flu! Thank you science for eradicating this god given disease! Why not disparage your loving god for what he has done and still does to ALL living things, animal, plant and human?

[lifeschild1]

I'm appalled to see that in this day and age we have people like you who still believe in the supernatural dimension: ghosts, angels and demons. This is a pure sign of instability and illness. I don't say this to be disparaging at all. This is a truthful statement. I do suggest that you look in to this matter and seek professional advice for your inner torment which is definitely based on religiosity and the psychosomatic encumbrances which delineate such abnormal behavioral thinking.
