But before the Catholic Church, there was yet an older Church that

Catholicism is evil- simply put.
the rest of religion? Nothing wrong with Jews- but dont confuse them
with Isrealites...one is a religion, the other an expansionist political
machine.
Islam? the religion is sound- they are brothers to Jews (but not
necesarily Isreal), but some leaders use their religion to gather
support to overthrow foreign influence in their own lands (Americans
would do the same, calling on "Good Christians" should Russia occupy
United States territory....)
Is religion absolutely responsible for everything?
How does International politics play in?
the US aggressive stance all over the world, threatening elected

dictators friendly to Washington?

Nay, look to your own leaders- the very Constitution is writ by traitors
of the British Empire, and the United States was accomplished by treason.
the Confederate Army committed terrorism into Canada....these were all
political acts.

one thing....to provoke theists?
do denounce your belief over and over?
you think this is the action of a "rational" person?
do you even think i care if you believe in God or not?
Whem a Muslim posts his beliefs to a newsgroup, what do you think his
agenda is?
not to promote hatred against himself, but to let those who are
misguided by US media and other propaganda, that there is a face to what
Bush calls "evil".
His religion, he reasons, is separate from his political belief (likely
getting rid of the US, Canada, and assorted Allies from his Native soil)
I dont know if Americans were taught about propaganda in school (likely
not, since the US liked to employ them with equal vigour as their
enemies- Germany, Japan and Russia), but many of us in Canada were- and
the examples they used from WW2 and the Cold War, are being employed
today- the enemies have changed, but the tactics havent.

proof is for those who cannot think outside the box.
religionists are waiting for the evidence to catch up with what they've
always felt in their hearts.
how can you prove a prescence?
Einstein, a self-admitted atheist, found that "God is in the center of
the Universe."
lookout is upset that i use references to Einstein, because at least
Einstein could have made the claim that he was rational in his beliefs.

i dont know about 'ambulance chaser'....but i think it likely he runs
through churches and synagogues, screaming down the aisles before the
ushers catch up to him that he is a proud atheist....

No they're not.

Faith, or belief in the unknown and unknowable, is a primary virtue to
the religious.

Demonstrating a lack of faith by asking for, or even expecting, proof or
evidence is sinful.

Lookout is so dumb and stupid. He also says that he gets a kick out of
pissing people off with his posts, but the reality for him is that they
are not pissed. They just like messing with him, to watch him react like

Theology is the study of fiction.... It has nothing to do with science.

L. Ron. Hubbard thought really, really hard and came up with the cult of
scientology. Others thought really, really hard and came up with the
abrahamic religions. Compare this to the scientific method (google it.... )
and explain to me why i should take anything a theist says as "gospel".

A bunch of catholics just recently went into a room and thought really,
really hard and the end result was an ex nazi as pope and condoms are still
a bad idea. Explain to me why this is a good thing!

It never ceases to amaze me that when an OT posting of this nature appears
( cross-posted to a number of groups ) it is so obvious that the sender is
some
kind of fanatic, yet there are a large number of subscribers tempted to
reply, thus
encouraging further annoying posts.
Just put them in your killfile along with all the marketing spam from China
and the
"make money from the internet" crap.

Most plans give x number of minutes before you pay added charges.
Most business land lines have per minute charges even for a call across
the street. As earlier stated I would not want to depend on the voice
quality of VOIP for business calls.

Irrelevant to the penny-a-minute long distance cards being discussed.

> Most business land lines have per minute charges even for a call across the street.

Which is why anyone with a clue uses untimed voip instead.

> As earlier stated I would not want to depend on the voice quality of VOIP for business calls.

Any properly implemented voip system falls back to the PSTN if you need reliability.

Disprove the logic of "If fatties worked their fair share, we wouldn't need
