I don't get the absurdity, could you elaborate?

You do realize that the person claiming the bible is infallible and inerrant without any evidence is the one who is close minded? Finding someone like that less than credible is the logical position.

I see that you've dropped supporting Hovind. I hope that isn't just a tactic and you've actually realized he is a conman.

i'm not sure what you are saying, and i never said i support, or don't support Mr. Hovind. When i hear someone that i find compelling, it matters not their religion. ANYone that refuses to listen to someone simply because of their religious beliefs is closed minded in my opinion. You are free to have your own opinion of people like that.

You posted that lying fraud not me. It is reasonable to assume that you supported his claims, especially after I directly asked if you had a different motive and you demanded proof he was a liar. Proof was provided and you dropped the subject so I inquired as to the reason.

I poorly phrased that-
I was saying that if you dismiss religion, one has an existential problem to solve, that of finding meaning and purpose. No matter what path of belief or nonbelief you take, there is an element of the absurd.

Yes, I would like to hear an elaboration on that too.

Are you saying that the only way to find meaning and purpose in life is through religion?

Meaning and purpose? More like Viruses and brainwashing

Jeez, give it up. He's just asking a question about what someone said, not asserting anything.

Well i did forget about that. However i did find it not that disastrous. I actually got a hell of a lot more angry on the prick who continued his holiday while New Orleans was being washed out in the sea.

Sarah Palin. I really have oposing feeling on that woman. Her political views could not be more alien to me. However her personal life, her way of being a mother and a human being i find fascinating. Specially do i admire her "shoot from the hip and fuck the consequences" attitude, which of course have put her in a lot of hot water. I also do believe she is at least an honest woman as far as her motives. That can be admired despite obvious difference in the nature of the motives. Maybe it just is refreshing to see a honest politician. A truly endangered species in our world. We just held a minor election here. To watch the assholes run from their pre election promises less than 24 hours after the election is tragic. And i voted for the prick.

How about the asshole who ran away from her job to go on a book tour, betraying the people who voted her into office.

This is what you find admirable?

Brain, I'm not terribly interested in having a discussion with you when your acting like a spam bot.

Not organized religion, but a belief system. This is what the Existentialists were dealing with after WWII. I have only a thin understanding of half of what they wrote, but part of it was that even if one dismisses theism entirely, you still have to come up with a framework of thinking that defines good and evil. Yet anything you come up with is based on some sort of unprovable assertions, or faith.

Which is in its own way, absurd.

I find it quite impressive that somebody's actually come out and said that. The people who think like that are often in denial, I've noticed.
