Isn't this Derrik Zooooolander . . . I give u . . . DERLIQUE!!!!

What's he doing all serious on CNN, & his hair's not even spiked

[Idahoprospector]

Says the PRACTICING Eastern Mystic! Of course he's going 2 try & discredit other faiths, he has his own Spiritual, Eastern-Meditational agenda that He's pushing, veiled under some 'New' pseudo-science & making a killing doing so (he'll probably be hawking us all Meditational Technique DVDs, once the book sales dry up).

Also where does this guy get his facts from?! 50% chance the U.S. gets nuked by 2020??! Wow Sam, fearmonger much?!!!

"It cannot be said that there is no God, but it can be said that there is no reason to believe there is one"

@eastsideboy1001 Well that is somewhat the point that Im also making. There is too little evidence to simply throw out all religions as the Marxist fanatics like Harris would have us do.

[eastsideboy1001]

@ZEDSTODT2 Well first off If I was immortal I would never have the chance to gain some clarification in the matter because I would never die. Second, all I am saying is that a lack of evidence should not serve as a knock down argument for the existence of anything. The two assertions, "I know there is a god.", and "I know that god does not exist.", are both irrational because there is no evidence that would justify those claims.

[ZEDSTODT2]

@eastsideboy1001 How do you know? Are you immortal?

[eastsideboy1001]

@ZEDSTODT2 "However I already know that God is real..." There is not one tiny bit of evidence that should give you any comfort in making that assertion.

[ZEDSTODT2]

@TheHigherVoltage If the God that Jesus represents isnt real then nothing matters anyway & your indignation over "intellectual honesty" (har har har) is meaningless. However I already know that God is real so you might as well just run around the block naked yelling "Im a boob, Im a boob!" over & over & over again.

[TheHigherVoltage]

@ZEDSTODT2 "You can raise the dead & reverse th aging process!"

Nope. And neither can you. And neither can yours, or anyone else's imaginary god.

I sincerely hope there are real God(s) waiting to judge us. It'd be interesting to sit back and watch people such as yourself try to explain to real God(s) why you spent your life defending out imaginary ones.

I'm not a God. And neither is your imaginary friend. Shame you don't have any intellectual honesty about it.
