Last night I watched a documentary on the Cathars in France in the 1300s
and the efforts made by the church to eliminate them.
1300??? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAAA

I love the way Atheist propagandists have to go back to the MEDIEVAL
period to find misdeeds by ancient Christians for which they will
irrationally hold modern Christians responsible! B^D
Europe was hungry
for fresh air after nearly a millennium stultifying oppression by the
"one true church".
True, and Islam provided it! B^)

The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in contrast to the latest
Divine Revelation which was launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.

Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith and a renewed new
revelation, because ALL of history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!

Thanks for pointing that out!

"Those that make NO Mistakes, are those that MADE NOTHING!" B^D

And As we have seen from Atheism in the Modern Era, the choice, if you
want civilisation, is still which is the best (most contemporary)
revelation! B^D

The Cathars were heretics like the Gnostics and
Manichians centuries before.
I love it when atheists not the persecution of the religious in the
past, when the greatest persecution of the religious was in the 20th
Century, BY ATHEISTS! 8^o
The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical world was said to
be completely un-xian but torturing and burning anyone who believed such
was entirely xian. The church pulled out out all stops and sent a
contingent of inquisitors to root out any descent.
So how many died in the Medieval Inquisition, compared to the 40,000,000
killed by atheists in the 'modern'(sic) era???

It's measured in the THOUSANDS!

What hypocrisy, for modern atheists who are DENIERS of the recent
atheist holocausts, killing millions, to crucify MODERN Christianity
for Dark Deeds in the Medieval age of Ignorance, which are acknowledged
by modern Christians and killed thousands! 8^o

And these atheist hypocrites then misrepresent MY position as the
Collective Responsibility Atheists preach in regard to Religions
('they are all responsible for the acts of Ancient Times, and of each
other') when I say simply 'atheism is historically a Tyranny, in EVERY
case of atheist regimes, and Modern atheism makes itself COMPLICIT by
refusing to admit it, and becoming atheist Holocaust DENIERS!'

Here's the Atheist position, holding the the modern Church responsible
for ancient misdeeds, dredging up CENTURIES OLD complaints because the
Church has EVOLVED, while Athesim has REGRESSED, (from insignificance in
history, to 20th century mayhem and murder, and back to irrelevance! B^)
The Church or Rome was and still is a retarding force in the history of
developing ideas.
Crap, it is not just


The balanced view is that the religion is the ONGOING inspiration and
sustainer of JUDEAO/CHRISTIAN(/ISLAMIC) CIVILISATION!!! B^)

There never was any practical 'Atheist alternative..' Atheism
only produces tyrannies far more violent and repressive than
the handful of religious aberrations in a history of human progress
under evolving Spiritual teachings! B^]

Just a few believers who exceeded the intellectual output of this
ignorant atheist fuckwit and his cronies in alt.atheism;

Sir Francis Bacon - established the scientific method of inquiry based
on experimentation and inductive reasoning.

Nicolaus Copernicus Catholic canon who introduced a heliocentric world
view.

William Turner the "father of English botany"

John Napier Scottish mathematician known for inventing logarithms,
Napier's bones, and being the popularizer of the use of decimals.

Johannes Kepler His model of the cosmos based on nesting Platonic
solids was explicitly driven by religious ideas; his later and most
famous scientific contribution, the Kepler's laws of planetary motion,
was based on empirical data that he obtained from Tycho Brahe's
meticulous astronomical observations,

Galileo Galilei, remained a commited, rational believer, even when
persecuted by a corrupt Church. After 600 years the Church apologised! B^D

René Descartes one of the key thinkers of the Scientific Revolution in
the Western World. honoured by having the Cartesian coordinate system
used in plane geometry and algebra named after him. He did important
work on invariants and geometry. His Meditations on First Philosophy
partially concerns theology and he was devoted to reconciling his ideas
with the dogmas of Catholic Faith to which he was loyal.

Blaise Pascal well-known for Pascal's law (physics), Pascal's theorem
(math), and Pascal's Wager (theology).

Nicolas Steno a pioneer in both anatomy and geology

Robert Boyle Scientist and theologian who argued that the study of
science could improve glorification of God.

John Wallis As a mathematician he wrote Arithmetica Infinitorumis,
introduced the term Continued fraction, worked on cryptography, helped
develop calculus, and is further known for the Wallis product.


Gottfried Leibniz A polymath who worked on determinants, a calculating
machine

Isaac Newton (He is regarded as one of the greatest scientists and
mathematicians in history.

Thomas Bayes Bayes' theorem. Fellow of the Royal Society

Firmin Abauzit A physicist and theologian.

Carolus Linnaeus father of modern taxonomy, contributions to ecology.

Leonhard Euler mathematician and physicist,

Maria Gaetana Agnesi mathematician

Isaac Milner Lucasian Professor of Mathematics
Michael Faraday

Charles Babbage

Gregor Mendel "father of modern genetics"

Asa Gray - Gray's Manual remains a pivotal work in botany.

Louis Pasteur Inventor of the pasteurization method, a french chemist
and microbiologist. He also solved the mysteries of rabies, anthrax,
chicken cholera, and silkworm diseases, and contributed to the
development of the first vaccines.


Lord Kelvin Thermodynamics. winner of the Copley Medal and the Royal
Medal,

Pierre Duhem Thermodynamic potentials

Dmitri Egorov mathematician - differential geometry

John Ambrose Flemingthe Right-hand rule and work on vacuum tubes,
Fleming valve. the Hughes Medal.

Max Planck founder of Quantum mechanics (1918 Nobel Prize in Physics

Edward Arthur Milne astrophysicist and mathematician proposed the
Milne model and had a Moon crater named for him. Gold Medal of the
Royal Astronomical Society,

Arthur Compton Nobel Prize in Physics.

Georges Lemaître proposed the Big Bang theory. Roman Catholic priest

Sir Robert Boyd pioneer in British space science

von Weizsäcker nuclear physicist Bethe-Weizsäcker formula.

Charles Hard Townes 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics 1966 wrote The
Convergence of Science and Religion.

Freeman Dyson the Lorentz Medal, the Max Planck Medal, and the Lewis
Thomas Prize.

John T. Houghtonco-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change gold medal from the Royal Astronomical Society.

Micha? Heller mathematical physicist relativistic physics and
Noncommutative geometry.

Eric PriestSolar Magnetohydrodynamics , won the George Ellery Hale Prize

Francis Collins director of the US National Human Genome Research
Institute.

John D. Barrow English cosmologist implications of the Anthropic
principle.

Denis Alexander Director of the Faraday Institute and author of
Rebuilding the Matrix - Science and Faith in the 21st Century.

Christopher IshamTheoretical physicist who developed HPO formalism.

Martin NowakEvolutionary biologist and mathematician best known for
evolutionary dynamics.


And that's just a partial list of Western scientists who were
RATIONAL believers!!!!!! B^D

Explain the historical evidence that religion produces, inspires
and sustains the world's great civilisations and atheism has
never produced a SINGLE ONE!!!! EVERY atheist regime has been a
short lived, bloody disaster, a failed tyranny, an atheist SHITHOLE!!


What do you think the reason for that is!??? B^D
Light a candle to find your way through the darkness
and the church was sure to blow it out.
You have described the Darkness brought by EVERY Atheist regime,
not the history of an evolving human civilisation inspired by
progressive revelation. B^]

Where are the Atheist Lights to match these;


I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us
with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use
and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can obtain by
them. He would not require us to deny sense and reason in physical
matters which are set before our eyes and minds by direct experience or
necessary demonstrations.

- Galileo Galilei 1615.

..science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with
the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling,
however, springs from the sphere of Religion... science without religion
is lame, religion without science is blind.

- Albert Einstein "Ideas and Opinions" 1954

The Greatness of God is something we cannot understand even though we
are aware of it

- Rene Descarte 1596-1650 mathematician and philosopher

The glory and greatness of the Almighty God are marvellously discerned
in all His works and divinely read in the open book of heaven

- Galileo Galilei 1564-1642

I see everywhere the inevitable expression of the infinite in the world

- Louis Pasteur 1822-95

As a blind man has no idea of colours, so have we no idea of the manner
by which the All-Wise God perceives and understands all things.

- Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727

The scientific picture of the real world around me is very
deficient...Science cannot tell us why music delights us, of why and how
an old song can move us to tears.... Science is reticent too when it is
a question of the great Unity... of which we all somehow form a part, to
which we belong. The most popular name for it in our time is God.

- Erwin Schroedinger 1933 Nobel prize in Physics
"My view of the World" 1918
The church still plays that role
today condemning millions in Africa to die for a doctrine by its
teachings on contraception and condoms.
It's mistakes in no way match the deliberate slaughter by
historical atheism, killing over 40,000,000 people
The only good thing to come out
of the church is the exit door.
"Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître (July 17, 1894 – June
20, 1966)
a Belgian Roman Catholic priest, honorary prelate, professor of physics
and astronomer at the Catholic University of Leuven, proposed the Big Bang
theory of the origin of the Universe"

The modern understanding of the origin of the universe, from a modern
rational Theist! B^]

Atheism produced nothing for MILLENNIA, and then it inflicted five
brutal tyrannies which tortured terrorised and murdered tens of
millions, before being re-assigned to the dustbin of history!

And yet atheists still whine about Medieval Misdeeds!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA

Suck it up, you jealous whiners!!!!!

There are lots of situations even today in which Moslems are
slaughtering non-Moslems wholesale, and between Xtain and Moslem
morality there is not a ha'panny's difference.

OK, today, Christian people kill a lot of people in Africa because they
forbid the preservative use.

George W. Bush, a manifest and good Christian, kill hundreds of thousand
people in the Irak war.

The most republican and religious states of US kill every year a lot of
criminals.

OK, following your generalisation, Christian there is not any difference
neither.

I love the way how religious scum stand up for the barbaric crimes of the

should stop sending former Nazi's to jail because the holocaust is in the
past.

Seon.. you poor hysterical dolt.. THEY DID occur in the past!!! B^)

1,300 A.D. IS THE PAST!! B^D

That is not 'standing up' for those events.. it's the PLAIN SIMPLE TRUTH!

Now, it's clear that plain simple truth is something CLEARLY BEYOND all
you atheist moral defectives;
Post by Seon Ferguson

then we should stop sending former Nazi's to jail
All the illogic of a braindead atheist! They want everyone else to join
them in LYING about the past!!!! B^D

It is a FACT that events in 1300 A.D. ARE In the past, but why you
lunatics think that means Nazi's shouldn't go to jail (for crimes
which clearly have ben committed in LIVING MEMORY) is something we
will leave you blithering idiots to explain to everyone.. (i care not a
fig for your insane blather! ;-)

Since you want to put it that way then why don't you blow your own
brains out for what your ancestors did to the indigineous tribes of
various countries they invaded?
Seems you're very selective in how and who you hate. It appears you
only want to point fingers at your political adversaries while
ignoring your own backyard.
You want to live in the past fine. So take responsibility for it then
you racist murdering fuck.
There, same dog bit you scratched me. Hope your newly found blame for
your race's past makes you feel better now.

Since you want to put it that way then why don't you blow your own
brains out for what your ancestors did to the indigineous tribes of
various countries they invaded?
Seems you're very selective in how and who you hate. It appears you
only want to point fingers at your political adversaries while
ignoring your own backyard.
You want to live in the past fine. So take responsibility for it then
you racist murdering fuck.
There, same dog bit you scratched me. Hope your newly found blame for
your race's past makes you feel better now.
Lol you have no idea how wrong you were. In case you were making a point. If
you were then I do not agree with the actions of white people in the past
one bit. The British Empire and other Empire's are brutal and barbaric. I
also think the way we treated Aboriginals was just horrible and inhuman and
the way the Americans treated black's or native Americans is barbaric.
But Christians today still try to justify the crimes of the church. I just
can't get past the way the church used to oppress humanity. Today I am free
to think for myself and free to reject superstition if I want to without
having to worry about being burnt at the stake. So why would I want to join
a religion that is still oppressive to this day? Why should I give up
thinking for myself?

Last night I watched a documentary on the Cathars in France in the
1300s and the efforts made by the church to eliminate them.

I love the way Atheist propagandists have to go back to the MEDIEVAL
period to find misdeeds by ancient Christians for which they will
irrationally hold modern Christians responsible! B^D
I love the way how religious scum stand up for the barbaric crimes of the
church by saying they happened in the past.
Seon.. you poor hysterical dolt.. THEY DID occur in the past!!! B^)
That still doesn't justify the barbaric crimes of the church and the

White people? You, who claims that members of the USSR politburo
were NOT atheits, when they freely admit the truth that they WERE
now wants to make a blanket condemnation of 'white people' for the
crimes against Australian aboriginals, when the Finns and the Japanese
and the Americans and the Russians had NOTHING to do with it!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA


What a confused, muddle-headed illogical and irrational dimwit you are
Seon!

You haven't got any more sensible since you became an atheist just
because a theist made a fool of you!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAA
The British Empire and other Empire's are brutal
and barbaric.
Not in comparison to the Atheist tyrannies, eh?

C'mon.. show where the British Empire tortured terrorised
and murderd 20,000,000 people as just ONE athesit regime did??
I also think the way we treated Aboriginals was just
horrible and inhuman and the way the Americans treated black's or native
Americans is barbaric.
But atheists today still try to justify the crimes of their cult.
I just can't get past the way the church used to oppress humanity.
But you easily get past the way atheism did, and still does.
Today I am free
And still there are no takers on the market!

It seems to have a keen sense of value! B^D
and free to reject superstition if I want to
without having to worry about being burnt at the stake.
That is because burning heretics was a product of medieval
ignorance, not carried forward by the modern church, which has
progressed and evolved.. while atheist regimes are all quite recent,
So why would I want to join a religion
Why would any of them want you?

Stick with atheist confusion...
that is still oppressive to this day?
In Nth Korea, but that doesn't seem to bother any of you...
should I give up thinking for myself?
Show some evidence you have ever thought for yourself and
I will comment on the difference.

The Harmony of Science and Religion"

"Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind."

- Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion:
a Symposium", 1941
^^^^^

Science being LED, as usual, by the divinely inspired; ;-)

`Abdu'l-Bahá, in 1912, stated that religion without science
is mere superstition and that science without religion is
crude materialism;

"Religion and science are the two wings upon which a man's intelligence
can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It s
not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with
the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism."
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks 1912
^^^^
(London: Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1969), pp. 141-46.

"Bahá'u'lláh has declared that religion must be in
accord with science and reason. If it does not
correspond with scientific principles and the
processes of reason, it is superstition.
For God has endowed us with faculties by which
we may comprehend the realities of things, contemplate
reality itself. If religion is opposed to reason and
science, faith is impossible; and when faith and
confidence in the divine religion are not manifest
in the heart, there can be no spiritual attainment.
- Abdul Baha

Afew things worth replying to.
I am against the dictatorship of North Korea and I don't think any sane
Atheist supports it.
"That is because burning heretics was a product of medieval
ignorance, not carried forward by the modern church, which has
progressed and evolved.. while atheist regimes are all quite recent,"
children are still brainwashed by their parents and not allowed to read
Harry Potter and Pagan children have their rights taken away by their
parents. Oppression might still not go on in the church but followers still
support it.
And for the billionth time what Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong, Pol Pot and all the
other communist dictators did were in the name of communism. Atheism did not
make them do it the way religion made Muslims carry out 911 or Christians
burn Joan of Arc, a child, at the stake. Communism made them do it and
Communism is a scam. The western bankers funded Lennon and Trosvky, the
President at the time allowed them to have a passport. The Communist
revelation was just an excuse for the bankers to set up power in Russia.

Where is the EVIDENCE God exists? Where is the EVIDENCE any religion's
claims are true? Or should we just take the word of 4 anonymous authors who
wrote 2,000 years ago or take the word of con men like Muhammad or Joseph

Europe was hungry for fresh air
after nearly a millennium stultifying oppression by the
"one true church".
True, and Islam provided it! B^)
The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in
contrast to the latest Divine Revelation which was
launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.
Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith
and a renewed new revelation, because ALL of
history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!
Thanks for pointing that out!
"Those that make NO Mistakes, are those that MADE NOTHING!" B^D
And As we have seen from Atheism in the Modern Era,
the choice, if you want civilisation, is still
which is the best (most contemporary)
revelation! B^D
The Cathars were heretics like the Gnostics and
Manichians centuries before.
I love it when atheists not the persecution of the religious in the
past, when the greatest persecution of the religious was in the
20th Century, BY ATHEISTS! 8^o
The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical
world was said to be completely un-xian but
torturing and burning anyone who believed such was entirely
xian. The church pulled out out all stops and sent a
contingent of inquisitors to root out any descent.
So how many died in the Medieval Inquisition, compared

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who
has endowed us with senses, reason and intellect
has intended us to forego their use and by some other means
to give us knowledge which we can obtain by
them. He would not require us to deny sense and reason in physical
matters which are set before our eyes and minds by direct
experience or necessary demonstrations.
- Galileo Galilei 1615.
..science can only be created by those who are thoroughly
imbued with the aspiration toward truth
and understanding. This source of feeling, however,
springs from the sphere of Religion... science without
religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

The Greatness of God is something we cannot understand
even though we are aware of it
- Rene Descarte 1596-1650 mathematician and philosopher
The glory and greatness of the Almighty God are
marvellously discerned in all His works and divinely
read in the open book of heaven
- Galileo Galilei 1564-1642
I see everywhere the inevitable expression of the infinite

- Louis Pasteur 1822-95
As a blind man has no idea of colours, so have we no
idea of the manner by which the All-Wise
God perceives and understands all things.
- Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727
The scientific picture of the real world around me is very
deficient...Science cannot tell us why music delights us,
of why and how an old song can move us to tears..
.. Science is reticent too when it is
a question of the great Unity... of which we all somehow
form a part, to which we belong.
The most popular name for it in our time is God.

has endowed us with senses, reason and intellect

to give us knowledge which we can obtain by

Look at 911 and the terrorist attacks commited by Muslims for
"Allah"
200,000,000 Indonesian Muslims caught tried and executed a handful
of Islamofascist terrorists. How can you claim that Islam is the cause,
when Muslims were the MAIN VICTIMS **AND** chiefly responsible for
OPPOSING IT.

Are you seriously claiming that if 200,000,000 Muslims are attacked
by a handful of Islamofascist psychopaths acting on POLITICAL motives
and in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to the Qur'an, that you choose to hold the
latter as representing Islam, not the former? 8^o

In my view such support of the terrorists is Islamophobic CLAPTRAP,
and you BELONG with the fundies responsible as you have chosen to
believe THEM, and not the VAST MAJORITY of peaceful Muslims, who are
the main VICTIMS of terror.

Moreover, how can you then excuse ANY atheists when EVERY ATHEIST
REGIME.. that is the WHOLE NATION, has been a totalitarian TYRANNY!!!

It seems you are quite illogical and irrational, arguing from PREJUDICE.

Are you familiar with Professor Robert Pape?

"Mohammed Khan the ringleader of the London bombings of 7/7
declared clearly in his martyrdom video that his central
motive was "to punish Britain for atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan,
and other Muslim nations"

Hussein Osma, July 21 would-be bomber said in his interrogation;

'This was not about religion, this was about Iraq, we watched
videos of western military atrocities in Iraq'" - Pape, "Dying to Win"

Prof Robert Pape, a distinguished academic whose work has been
funded by the Pentagon, and whose views are so respected
by the US Military that he taught at Dartmouth and 'air power
strategy' at the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower Studies,
conducted the ONLY study of the MOTIVATION of suicide bombers,
and thus he doesn't GUESS like Bush did, he UNDERSTANDS
what THE BOMBERS say are their reasons!!!

"The evidence shows that the presence of American troops
is clearly the pivotal factor driving suicide terrorism."

"A study by University of Chicago political scientist
Robert Pape of 462 suicide-terrorist attacks between
1980 and 2004 worldwide found the overwhelming reason
for the attacks was a clear political objective and
in more than 95 per cent of the cases the "central
objective" was the eviction of foreign troops.

"Before our invasion, Iraq never had a suicide-terrorist
attack in its history. Never. Since our invasion,
suicide terrorism has been escalating rapidly with 20
attacks in 2003, 48 in 2004, and over 50 in just the
first five months of 2005. Every year that the United
States has stationed 150,000 combat troops in Iraq,
suicide terrorism has doubled."

The Bush administration knows this, but avoids the truth;



"Robert A. Pape is Professor of Political Science at the University of
Chicago specializing in international security affairs. His publications
include Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism (Random
House 2005); Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War (Cornell
1996), "Why Economic Sanctions Do Not Work," International Security
(1997), "The Determinants of International Moral Action," International
Organization (1999); "The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism,"
American Political Science Review (2003); and "Soft Balancing against
the United States," International Security (2005). His commentary on
international security policy has appeared in The New York Times,
Washington Post, New Republic, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and
Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, as well as on Nightline, ABC News, CBS
News, CNN, Fox News, and National Public Radio. Before coming to Chicago
in 1999, he taught international relations at Dartmouth College for five
years and air power strategy for the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower
Studies for three years. He received his Ph. D. from the University of
Chicago in 1988 and graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from
the University of Pittsburgh in 1982. His current work focuses on the
causes of suicide terrorism and the politics of unipolarity."

http://political-science.uchicago.edu/faculty/pape.html

"Robert Pape graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the
University of Pittsburgh in 1982 and earned his Ph.D. from the
University of Chicago in 1988. During his Ph.D. program he was a TA for
a class taught by John Mearsheimer. He taught international relations at
Dartmouth College from 1991 to 1996 and air power strategy at the United
States Air Force's School of Advanced Airpower Studies from 1996 to
1999. Since 1999 he has taught at the University of Chicago, where he is
Associate Professor of Political Science. He defines the focus of his
current work as "the effect of technological change on conflict and
cooperation among major powers and the theory and practice of suicide
terrorism."

After presenting preliminary data on his research into suicide terrorism
in the American Political Science Review in 2003, Pape founded the
Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism, which he directs. The project is
funded by the Carnegie Corporation, the Pentagon's Defense Threat
Reduction Agency, the University of Chicago, and the Argonne National
Laboratory." - wikipedia

The balanced view is that the religion is the ONGOING inspiration
and sustainer of JUDEAO/CHRISTIAN(/ISLAMIC) CIVILISATION!!! B^)

There never was any practical 'Atheist alternative..' Atheism
only produces tyrannies far more violent and repressive than
the handful of religious aberrations in a history of human progress
under evolving Spiritual teachings! B^]

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us
with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use
and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can obtain by
them. He would not require us to deny sense and reason in physical
matters which are set before our eyes and minds by direct experience or
necessary demonstrations.

- Galileo Galilei 1615.

..science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with
the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling,
however, springs from the sphere of Religion... science without religion
is lame, religion without science is blind.

- Albert Einstein "Ideas and Opinions" 1954

The Greatness of God is something we cannot understand even though we
are aware of it

- Rene Descarte 1596-1650 mathematician and philosopher

The glory and greatness of the Almighty God are marvellously discerned
in all His works and divinely read in the open book of heaven

- Galileo Galilei 1564-1642

I see everywhere the inevitable expression of the infinite in the world

- Louis Pasteur 1822-95

As a blind man has no idea of colours, so have we no idea of the manner
by which the All-Wise God perceives and understands all things.

- Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727

The scientific picture of the real world around me is very
deficient...Science cannot tell us why music delights us, of why and how
an old song can move us to tears.... Science is reticent too when it is
a question of the great Unity... of which we all somehow form a part, to
which we belong. The most popular name for it in our time is God.

- Erwin Schroedinger 1933 Nobel prize in Physics
"My view of the World" 1918

There can never be any real opposition between religion and science.
Every serious and reflective person realizes, I think, that the
religious elements in his nature must be recognized and cultivated if
all the powers of the human soul are to act together in perfect balance
and harmony.

- Max Planck winner of the 1918 Nobel prize in Physics
"Where is Science Going" 1918

"Something unknown is doing we don't know what"
-Sir Arthur Eddington

Religion and science are the two wings upon which man's intelligence can
soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It is not
possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with the
wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism.

- 'Abdu'l - Baha "Paris Talks" 1911

Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist): "A common sense interpretation of
the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as
well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces
worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the
facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost
beyond question." (2)

George Ellis (British astrophysicist): "Amazing fine tuning occurs in
the laws that make this [complexity] possible. Realization of the
complexity of what is accomplished makes it very difficult not to use
the word 'miraculous' without taking a stand as to the ontological
status of the word." (3)

Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy): "I find it
quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be
some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the
explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something
instead of nothing." (6)

John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA): "We are, by astronomical standards,
a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the
Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could
never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances
indicate the universe was created for man to live in." (7)

George Greenstein (astronomer): "As we survey all the evidence, the
thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather,
Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without
intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence
of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially
crafted the cosmos for our benefit?" (8)

Arthur Eddington (astrophysicist): "The idea of a universal mind or
Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present
state of scientific theory." (9)

Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics): "Astronomy leads us to a unique
event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very
delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to
permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say
'supernatural') plan." (10)

Roger Penrose (mathematician and author): "I would say the universe
has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance." (11)

Tony Rothman (physicist): "When confronted with the order and beauty
of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it's very
tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am
sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it." (12)

Vera Kistiakowsky (MIT physicist): "The exquisite order displayed by
our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the
divine." (13)

Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has
lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad
dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to
conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he
is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for
centuries." (14)

Stephen Hawking (British astrophysicist): "Then we shall… be able to
take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and
the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the
ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of
God." (15)

Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics): "When I began my
career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced
atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be
writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-
Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are
straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand
them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable
logic of my own special branch of physics." (16) Note: Tipler since
has actually converted to Christianity, hence his latest book, The
Physics Of Christianity.

Alexander Polyakov (Soviet mathematician): "We know that nature is
described by the best of all possible mathematics because God created
it."(17)

Ed Harrison (cosmologist): "Here is the cosmological proof of the
existence of God – the design argument of Paley – updated and
refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie
evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that
requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one....
Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the
teleological or design argument." (18)

Edward Milne (British cosmologist): "As to the cause of the Universe,
in context of expansion, that is left for the reader to insert, but
our picture is incomplete without Him [God]." (19)

Barry Parker (cosmologist): "Who created these laws? There is no
question but that a God will always be needed." (20)

Drs. Zehavi, and Dekel (cosmologists): "This type of universe,
however, seems to require a degree of fine tuning of the initial
conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'." (21)

Arthur L. Schawlow (Professor of Physics at Stanford University, 1981
Nobel Prize in physics): "It seems to me that when confronted with the
marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how.
The only possible answers are religious. . . . I find a need for God
in the universe and in my own life." (22)

Henry "Fritz" Schaefer (Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and
director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the
University of Georgia): "The significance and joy in my science comes
in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to
myself, 'So that's how God did it.' My goal is to understand a little
corner of God's plan." (23)



Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to
understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a
superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to
comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science." (24)

Carl Woese (microbiologist from the University of Illinois) "Life in
Universe - rare or unique? I walk both sides of that street. One day I
can say that given the 100 billion stars in our galaxy and the 100
billion or more galaxies, there have to be some planets that formed
and evolved in ways very, very like the Earth has, and so would
contain microbial life at least. There are other days when I say that
the anthropic principal, which makes this universe a special one out
of an uncountably large number of universes, may not apply only to
that aspect of nature we define in the realm of physics, but may
extend to chemistry and biology. In that case life on Earth could be
entirely unique." (25)


"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a
little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the
ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that
someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It
does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the
child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a
mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly
suspects." - Albert Einstein

"The statistical probability that organic structures and the most
precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be
generated by accident, is zero."- Ilya Prigogine (Chemist-Physicist)
Recipient of two Nobel Prizes in chemistry
I. Prigogine, N. Gregair, A. Babbyabtz, Physics Today 25, pp. 23-28

"The really amazing thing is not that life on Earth is balanced on a
knife-edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a knife-edge,
and would be total chaos if any of the natural 'constants' were off
even slightly. You see," Davies adds, "even if you dismiss man as a
chance happening, the fact remains that the universe seems
unreasonably suited to the existence of life -- almost contrived --
you might say a 'put-up job'."- Dr. Paul Davies
(noted author and Professor of Theoretical Physics at Adelaide
University)

All centuries ago.. and yet, in living memory, we have
40,000,000 dead from the atheist holocausts..

i think the historical evidence is Clear..

Religions have progressed, athesim regressed and no matter
how you look at it, the suffering and death under EVERY
atheist regime is far greater than than under a few, atypical,
religious societies.

That is a direct contradiction of your claim that society

A majority religious society can have a President who prays,
and can have hymns and prayers at ANZAC ceremonies, and
prayers in parliament, but still recognises the rights of the
tiny atheist minority not to take part, just as a majority
hetero society can celebrate and support childbirth and rearing,
but does not try and make homosexuals have sex with the opposite

The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in
contrast to the latest Divine Revelation which was
launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.
Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith

history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!
Thanks for pointing that out!

The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical
world was said to be completely un-xian but
torturing and burning anyone who believed such was entirely

one of which was a Christian high school teacher with a B.A.

If RELIGION is the critical factor, how come we have three
Christian suicide bombers, and a majority of SECULAR suicide
bombers?

Clearly Islamic fundamentalism is not the root cause.

Something else is."

Last night I watched a documentary on the Cathars in France in
the 1300s and the efforts made by the church to eliminate them.
1300??? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAAA
I love the way Atheist propagandists have to go back
to the MEDIEVAL period to find misdeeds
by ancient Christians for which they will
irrationally hold modern Christians responsible! B^D

1,300 A.D. IS THE PAST!! B^D
That is not 'standing up' for those events.. it's the
PLAIN SIMPLE TRUTH!
Now, it's clear that plain simple truth is something CLEARLY
BEYOND all you atheist moral defectives;
That still doesn't justify the barbaric crimes of the church
You are the only one claiming that it does. B^p
I have NEVER denied the inquisition, the Crusades and the
witch burning.. NEVER. YOU made up the 'religious scum
stand up for the Barbaric crimes of the Church'
lie because you have no real argument left!
Your kidding right?
No. I have never denied the inquisition, the Crusades and the witch
burning.. NEVER. If i had, you could quote me doing it.. you can't
because YOU made up the 'religious scum stand up for the

Here's proof that you have no argument left, this is known as

Nice job, although it appears to have been unintentional on your part!

So you are arguing that the BILLIONS of believers of the planet
who live peaceful lives, raising their families, quietly worshipping,
running charities and schools are creating more suffering than the
Atheist regimes which tortured and terrorised 40,000,000 people in
last century ALONE!??

I have posted the detiled death tolls from atheist regimes..
where is YOUR evidence...

Oh.. that's right, you IRRATIONAL athesits with NO ARGUMENT, NEVER
HAVE ANY .. that's why you go back to the Dark Ages to drag out
examples FROM THE TIME OF MEDIEVAL BARBARISM, which you think supports
your cause.

"whatever religion I belong to" is responsible for

How can you make such a claim when a) you don't know if I belong to
a religion, let alone which it might be, and b) you have no evidence
of anything like the 40,000,000 death toll from just TWO atheist regimes!


So, here you go. Pretend I am one of these religions and tell
me how many deaths in the past century it is responsible for.

If you can't, then admit defeat, and possibly investgate each one
as cantidates for True Faith;

1. Quakers.

2. Amish.

3. Bahai.

4. Buddhist.

You can't even show that any of those are responsible for even as many
deaths as that atheist Pol Pots Year Zero Genocide, rterrorising and
killing millions.

Look at 911 and the terrorist attacks commited by Muslims for "Allah"
200,000,000 Indonesian Muslims caught tried and executed a handful
of Islamofascist terrorists. How can you claim that Islam is the cause,
when Muslims were the MAIN VICTIMS **AND** chiefly responsible for
OPPOSING IT.

Are you seriously claiming that if 200,000,000 Muslims are attacked
by a handful of Islamofascist psychopaths acting on POLITICAL motives
and in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to the Qur'an, that you choose to hold the
latter as representing Islam, not the former? 8^o

In my view such support of the terrorists is Islamophobic CLAPTRAP,
and you BELONG with the fundies responsible as you have chosen to
believe THEM, and not the VAST MAJORITY of peaceful Muslims, who are
the main VICTIMS of terror.

Moreover, how can you then excuse ANY atheists when EVERY ATHEIST
REGIME.. that is the WHOLE NATION, has been a totalitarian TYRANNY!!!

It seems you are quite illogical and irrational, arguing from PREJUDICE.

Are you familiar with Professor Robert Pape?

"Mohammed Khan the ringleader of the London bombings of 7/7
declared clearly in his martyrdom video that his central
motive was "to punish Britain for atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan,
and other Muslim nations"

Hussein Osma, July 21 would-be bomber said in his interrogation;

'This was not about religion, this was about Iraq, we watched
videos of western military atrocities in Iraq'" - Pape, "Dying to Win"

Prof Robert Pape, a distinguished academic whose work has been
funded by the Pentagon, and whose views are so respected
by the US Military that he taught at Dartmouth and 'air power
strategy' at the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower Studies,
conducted the ONLY study of the MOTIVATION of suicide bombers,
and thus he doesn't GUESS like Bush did, he UNDERSTANDS
what THE BOMBERS say are their reasons!!!

"The evidence shows that the presence of American troops
is clearly the pivotal factor driving suicide terrorism."

"A study by University of Chicago political scientist
Robert Pape of 462 suicide-terrorist attacks between
1980 and 2004 worldwide found the overwhelming reason
for the attacks was a clear political objective and
in more than 95 per cent of the cases the "central
objective" was the eviction of foreign troops.

"Before our invasion, Iraq never had a suicide-terrorist
attack in its history. Never. Since our invasion,
suicide terrorism has been escalating rapidly with 20
attacks in 2003, 48 in 2004, and over 50 in just the
first five months of 2005. Every year that the United
States has stationed 150,000 combat troops in Iraq,
suicide terrorism has doubled."

The Bush administration knows this, but avoids the truth;

Palestinians are Christian AND Muslim, many Zionists were not even

If there was no religion the Jews would not have
a reason to reinvade it.
They always had religion, they never re-invaded.. thus Religion is
not the CAUSE.

The imposition of Israel on the Palestinians was by Europeans,
acting out of Guilt over yet another Pogrom persecuting Religious,
it was a POLITICAL cause, and the Zionist state and Hamas
both USE religion to gain support in their POLITICAL STRUGGLE.

Arabs and Jews live peacefully in other POLITICAL CONTEXTS

are also communists.. are you sure you wish to persist with such hypocrisy?

What about Saudi Arabia?
It's not an atheist regime you are denying. So you concede my point.

It is a vile Theocracy. I, because I am consistent, denounce it,
and i note while doing so that it is NOT TYPICAL of Islam.

Indonesia, the worlds largest Muslim nation, is.

We all note your hypocrisy, you SELECTIVELY choose the LEAST

"it wasn't done in the name of atheism" .. which would
be a PISS WEAK attempt to excuse atheist regimes anyway!!! 8^o

Then, when 16 in 1,800,000,000 Muslims commits a crime killing
3,000 people, including Muslims, you take the CRIMINALS claim

Both have religious majorities..

Atheism in the USA is a mere 0.7% of the population, but, unlike EVERY

Religion and science are the two wings upon which man's intelligence can
soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It is not
possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with the
wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism.

- 'Abdu'l - Baha "Paris Talks" 1911

Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist): "A common sense interpretation of
the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as
well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces
worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the
facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost
beyond question." (2)

George Ellis (British astrophysicist): "Amazing fine tuning occurs in
the laws that make this [complexity] possible. Realization of the
complexity of what is accomplished makes it very difficult not to use
the word 'miraculous' without taking a stand as to the ontological
status of the word." (3)

Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy): "I find it
quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be
some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the
explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something
instead of nothing." (6)

John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA): "We are, by astronomical standards,
a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the
Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could
never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances
indicate the universe was created for man to live in." (7)

George Greenstein (astronomer): "As we survey all the evidence, the
thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather,
Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without
intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence
of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially
crafted the cosmos for our benefit?" (8)

Arthur Eddington (astrophysicist): "The idea of a universal mind or
Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present
state of scientific theory." (9)

Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics): "Astronomy leads us to a unique
event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very
delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to
permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say
'supernatural') plan." (10)

Roger Penrose (mathematician and author): "I would say the universe
has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance." (11)

Tony Rothman (physicist): "When confronted with the order and beauty
of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it's very
tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am
sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it." (12)

Vera Kistiakowsky (MIT physicist): "The exquisite order displayed by
our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the
divine." (13)

Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has
lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad
dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to
conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he
is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for
centuries." (14)

Stephen Hawking (British astrophysicist): "Then we shall… be able to
take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and
the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the
ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of
God." (15)

Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics): "When I began my
career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced
atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be
writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-
Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are
straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand
them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable
logic of my own special branch of physics." (16) Note: Tipler since
has actually converted to Christianity, hence his latest book, The
Physics Of Christianity.

Alexander Polyakov (Soviet mathematician): "We know that nature is
described by the best of all possible mathematics because God created
it."(17)

Ed Harrison (cosmologist): "Here is the cosmological proof of the
existence of God – the design argument of Paley – updated and
refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie
evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that
requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one....
Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the
teleological or design argument." (18)

Edward Milne (British cosmologist): "As to the cause of the Universe,
in context of expansion, that is left for the reader to insert, but
our picture is incomplete without Him [God]." (19)

Barry Parker (cosmologist): "Who created these laws? There is no
question but that a God will always be needed." (20)

Drs. Zehavi, and Dekel (cosmologists): "This type of universe,
however, seems to require a degree of fine tuning of the initial
conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'." (21)

Arthur L. Schawlow (Professor of Physics at Stanford University, 1981
Nobel Prize in physics): "It seems to me that when confronted with the
marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how.
The only possible answers are religious. . . . I find a need for God
in the universe and in my own life." (22)

Henry "Fritz" Schaefer (Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and
director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the
University of Georgia): "The significance and joy in my science comes
in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to
myself, 'So that's how God did it.' My goal is to understand a little
corner of God's plan." (23)



Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to
understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a
superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to
comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science." (24)

Carl Woese (microbiologist from the University of Illinois) "Life in
Universe - rare or unique? I walk both sides of that street. One day I
can say that given the 100 billion stars in our galaxy and the 100
billion or more galaxies, there have to be some planets that formed
and evolved in ways very, very like the Earth has, and so would
contain microbial life at least. There are other days when I say that
the anthropic principal, which makes this universe a special one out
of an uncountably large number of universes, may not apply only to
that aspect of nature we define in the realm of physics, but may
extend to chemistry and biology. In that case life on Earth could be
entirely unique." (25)


"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a
little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the
ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that
someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It
does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the
child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a
mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly
suspects." - Albert Einstein

"The statistical probability that organic structures and the most
precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be
generated by accident, is zero."- Ilya Prigogine (Chemist-Physicist)
Recipient of two Nobel Prizes in chemistry
I. Prigogine, N. Gregair, A. Babbyabtz, Physics Today 25, pp. 23-28

"The really amazing thing is not that life on Earth is balanced on a
knife-edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a knife-edge,
and would be total chaos if any of the natural 'constants' were off
even slightly. You see," Davies adds, "even if you dismiss man as a
chance happening, the fact remains that the universe seems
unreasonably suited to the existence of life -- almost contrived --
you might say a 'put-up job'."- Dr. Paul Davies
(noted author and Professor of Theoretical Physics at Adelaide
University)

And how does the death toll for your medieval complaints stack up

Inquisiiton.. 20,000?

Witch burnings.. 2,000

All centuries ago.. and yet, in living memory, we have
40,000,000 dead from the atheist holocausts..

i think the historical evidence is Clear..

Religions have progressed, athesim regressed and no matter
how you look at it, the suffering and death under EVERY
atheist regime is far greater than than under a few, atypical,
religious societies.

That explains why people, including atheists, choose to live in

That is a direct contradiction of your claim that society
needs to be secular.

A majority religious society can have a President who prays,
and can have hymns and prayers at ANZAC ceremonies, and
prayers in parliament, but still recognises the rights of the
tiny atheist minority not to take part, just as a majority
hetero society can celebrate and support childbirth and rearing,
but does not try and make homosexuals have sex with the opposite

True, and Islam provided it! B^)
The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in
contrast to the latest Divine Revelation which was
launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.
Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith
and a renewed new revelation, because ALL of
history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!
Thanks for pointing that out!
"Those that make NO Mistakes, are those that MADE NOTHING!" B^D
And As we have seen from Atheism in the Modern Era,
the choice, if you want civilisation, is still
which is the best (most contemporary)
revelation! B^D
The Cathars were heretics like the Gnostics and
Manichians centuries before.
I love it when atheists not the persecution of the religious in the

20th Century, BY ATHEISTS! 8^o
The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical
world was said to be completely un-xian but
torturing and burning anyone who believed such was entirely
xian. The church pulled out out all stops and sent a
contingent of inquisitors to root out any descent.

of anything like the 40,000,000 death toll from just TWO atheist regimes!


So, here you go. Pretend I am one of these religions and tell
me how many deaths in the past century it is responsible for.

If you can't, then admit defeat, and possibly investgate each one
as cantidates for True Faith;

Look at 911 and the terrorist attacks commited by Muslims for "Allah"
200,000,000 Indonesian Muslims caught tried and executed a handful
of Islamofascist terrorists. How can you claim that Islam is the cause,
when Muslims were the MAIN VICTIMS **AND** chiefly responsible for
OPPOSING IT.
Are you seriously claiming that if 200,000,000 Muslims are attacked
by a handful of Islamofascist psychopaths acting on POLITICAL motives
and in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to the Qur'an, that you choose to hold the
latter as representing Islam, not the former? 8^o
In my view such support of the terrorists is Islamophobic CLAPTRAP,
and you BELONG with the fundies responsible as you have chosen to
believe THEM, and not the VAST MAJORITY of peaceful Muslims, who are
the main VICTIMS of terror.
Moreover, how can you then excuse ANY atheists when EVERY ATHEIST
REGIME.. that is the WHOLE NATION, has been a totalitarian TYRANNY!!!
It seems you are quite illogical and irrational, arguing from PREJUDICE.
Are you familiar with Professor Robert Pape?
"Mohammed Khan the ringleader of the London bombings of 7/7
declared clearly in his martyrdom video that his central
motive was "to punish Britain for atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan,
and other Muslim nations"
Seems pretty clear why they acted, retaliation for Iraq.

Nothing to do with Islam.

Prof Robert Pape, a distinguished academic whose work has been
funded by the Pentagon, and whose views are so respected
by the US Military that he taught at Dartmouth and 'air power
strategy' at the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower Studies,
conducted the ONLY study of the MOTIVATION of suicide bombers,
and thus he doesn't GUESS like Bush did, he UNDERSTANDS
what THE BOMBERS say are their reasons!!!
"The evidence shows that the presence of American troops
is clearly the pivotal factor driving suicide terrorism."
"A study by University of Chicago political scientist
Robert Pape of 462 suicide-terrorist attacks between
1980 and 2004 worldwide found the overwhelming reason
for the attacks was a clear political objective and
in more than 95 per cent of the cases the "central
objective" was the eviction of foreign troops.
"Before our invasion, Iraq never had a suicide-terrorist
attack in its history. Never. Since our invasion,
suicide terrorism has been escalating rapidly with 20
attacks in 2003, 48 in 2004, and over 50 in just the
first five months of 2005. Every year that the United
States has stationed 150,000 combat troops in Iraq,
suicide terrorism has doubled."
The Bush administration knows this, but avoids the truth;

"Robert A. Pape is Professor of Political Science at the University of
Chicago specializing in international security affairs. His publications
include Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism (Random

1996), "Why Economic Sanctions Do Not Work," International Security

international security policy has appeared in The New York Times,

in 1999, he taught international relations at Dartmouth College for five
years and air power strategy for the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower
Studies for three years. He received his Ph. D. from the University of
Chicago in 1988 and graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from
the University of Pittsburgh in 1982. His current work focuses on the
causes of suicide terrorism and the politics of unipolarity."

Associate Professor of Political Science. He defines the focus of his
current work as "the effect of technological change on conflict and
cooperation among major powers and the theory and practice of suicide
terrorism."

in the American Political Science Review in 2003, Pape founded the
Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism, which he directs. The project is

it was a POLITICAL cause, and the Zionist state and Hamas
both USE religion to gain support in their POLITICAL STRUGGLE.

- 'Abdu'l - Baha "Paris Talks" 1911
Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist): "A common sense interpretation of
the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as
well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces
worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the
facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost
beyond question." (2)
George Ellis (British astrophysicist): "Amazing fine tuning occurs in
the laws that make this [complexity] possible. Realization of the
complexity of what is accomplished makes it very difficult not to use
the word 'miraculous' without taking a stand as to the ontological
status of the word." (3)
Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy): "I find it
quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be
some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the
explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something
instead of nothing." (6)
John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA): "We are, by astronomical standards,
a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the
Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could
never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances
indicate the universe was created for man to live in." (7)
George Greenstein (astronomer): "As we survey all the evidence, the
thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather,
Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without
intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence
of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially
crafted the cosmos for our benefit?" (8)
Arthur Eddington (astrophysicist): "The idea of a universal mind or
Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present
state of scientific theory." (9)
Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics): "Astronomy leads us to a unique
event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very
delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to
permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say
'supernatural') plan." (10)
Roger Penrose (mathematician and author): "I would say the universe
has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance." (11)
Tony Rothman (physicist): "When confronted with the order and beauty
of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it's very
tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am
sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it." (12)
Vera Kistiakowsky (MIT physicist): "The exquisite order displayed by
our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the
divine." (13)
Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has
lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad
dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to
conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he
is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for
centuries." (14)
Stephen Hawking (British astrophysicist): "Then we shall… be able to
take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and
the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the
ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of
God." (15)
Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics): "When I began my
career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced
atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be
writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-
Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are
straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand
them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable
logic of my own special branch of physics." (16) Note: Tipler since
has actually converted to Christianity, hence his latest book, The
Physics Of Christianity.
Alexander Polyakov (Soviet mathematician): "We know that nature is
described by the best of all possible mathematics because God created
it."(17)
Ed Harrison (cosmologist): "Here is the cosmological proof of the
existence of God – the design argument of Paley – updated and
refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie
evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that
requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one....
Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the
teleological or design argument." (18)
Edward Milne (British cosmologist): "As to the cause of the Universe,
in context of expansion, that is left for the reader to insert, but
our picture is incomplete without Him [God]." (19)
Barry Parker (cosmologist): "Who created these laws? There is no
question but that a God will always be needed." (20)
Drs. Zehavi, and Dekel (cosmologists): "This type of universe,
however, seems to require a degree of fine tuning of the initial
conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'." (21)
Arthur L. Schawlow (Professor of Physics at Stanford University, 1981
Nobel Prize in physics): "It seems to me that when confronted with the
marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how.
The only possible answers are religious. . . . I find a need for God
in the universe and in my own life." (22)
Henry "Fritz" Schaefer (Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and
director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the
University of Georgia): "The significance and joy in my science comes
in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to
myself, 'So that's how God did it.' My goal is to understand a little
corner of God's plan." (23)
Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to
understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a
superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to
comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science." (24)
Carl Woese (microbiologist from the University of Illinois) "Life in
Universe - rare or unique? I walk both sides of that street. One day I
can say that given the 100 billion stars in our galaxy and the 100
billion or more galaxies, there have to be some planets that formed
and evolved in ways very, very like the Earth has, and so would
contain microbial life at least. There are other days when I say that
the anthropic principal, which makes this universe a special one out
of an uncountably large number of universes, may not apply only to
that aspect of nature we define in the realm of physics, but may
extend to chemistry and biology. In that case life on Earth could be
entirely unique." (25)
"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a
little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the
ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that
someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It
does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the
child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a
mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly
suspects." - Albert Einstein

"The really amazing thing is not that life on Earth is balanced on a
knife-edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a knife-edge,
and would be total chaos if any of the natural 'constants' were off
even slightly. You see," Davies adds, "even if you dismiss man as a
chance happening, the fact remains that the universe seems
unreasonably suited to the existence of life -- almost contrived --
you might say a 'put-up job'."- Dr. Paul Davies

"one true church".
True, and Islam provided it! B^)
The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in
contrast to the latest Divine Revelation which was
launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.
Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith
and a renewed new revelation, because ALL of
history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!
Thanks for pointing that out!
"Those that make NO Mistakes, are those that MADE NOTHING!" B^D
And As we have seen from Atheism in the Modern Era,
the choice, if you want civilisation, is still
which is the best (most contemporary)
revelation! B^D

Manichians centuries before.
I love it when atheists not the persecution of the religious in the

The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical
world was said to be completely un-xian but
torturing and burning anyone who believed such was entirely
xian. The church pulled out out all stops and sent a
contingent of inquisitors to root out any descent.

Thus, more of those terrorists were ATHEISTS than were religious! 8^o

Professor Robert Pape replaces hysteria with cold hard research;
--
200,000,000 Indonesian Muslims caught tried and executed a handful
of Islamofascist terrorists. Clearly Islam is NOT the cause,
when Muslims were the MAIN VICTIMS **AND** chiefly responsible for
OPPOSING IT!!!

If 200,000,000 Muslims are attacked by a handful of Islamofascist
psychopaths acting on POLITICAL motives and in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to
the Qur'an, then it is irrational prejudice to hold the terrorosts as
representing Islam, not their Muslim Victims!!! 8^o

In my view such support of the terrorists is Islamophobic CLAPTRAP,
espoused by fundies who have chosen to believe THE TERRORISTS, and not
the VAST MAJORITY of peaceful Muslims, who arethe main VICTIMS of terror.

Moreover, how can you then excuse ANY atheists when EVERY ATHEIST
REGIME.. that is the WHOLE NATION, has been a totalitarian TYRANNY!!!

That would be quite illogical and irrational, arguing from PREJUDICE.

Prof Robert Pape, a distinguished academic whose work has been
funded by the Pentagon, and whose views are so respected
by the US Military that he taught at Dartmouth and 'air power
strategy' at the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower Studies,
conducted the ONLY study of the MOTIVATION of suicide bombers,
and thus he doesn't GUESS like Bush did, he UNDERSTANDS
what THE BOMBERS say are their reasons!!!

"Mohammed Khan the ringleader of the London bombings of 7/7
declared clearly in his martyrdom video that his central
motive was "to punish Britain for atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan,
and other Muslim nations"

Hussein Osma, July 21 would-be bomber said in his interrogation;

'This was not about religion, this was about Iraq, we watched
videos of western military atrocities in Iraq'" - Pape, "Dying to Win"


"The evidence shows that the presence of American troops
is clearly the pivotal factor driving suicide terrorism."

"A study by University of Chicago political scientist
Robert Pape of 462 suicide-terrorist attacks between
1980 and 2004 worldwide found the overwhelming reason
for the attacks was a clear political objective and
in more than 95 per cent of the cases the "central
objective" was the eviction of foreign troops.

"Before our invasion, Iraq never had a suicide-terrorist
attack in its history. Never. Since our invasion,
suicide terrorism has been escalating rapidly with 20
attacks in 2003, 48 in 2004, and over 50 in just the
first five months of 2005. Every year that the United
States has stationed 150,000 combat troops in Iraq,
suicide terrorism has doubled."

The Bush administration knows this, but avoids the truth;

Hezbollah 1982- 1986, only eight were Islamic fundamentalists.
Twenty-seven were Communists and Socialists. Three were Christians,
one of which was a Christian high school teacher with a B.A.
If RELIGION is the critical factor, how come we have three
Christian suicide bombers, and a majority of SECULAR suicide
bombers?
Clearly Islamic fundamentalism is not the root cause.
Something else is."

Who was it who did the 9-11 thing, then? Buddhists?
The 9-11 thing wasn't in Lebanon, cretin.
"If RELIGION is the critical factor, how come we have three

Learn to READ, rather than snip the critical evidence and you won't look
quite so stupid.

It was a bunch of anti-social nut jobs. No different then any other
terrorist. Their religion was just coincidental. Sure, it was a common
link, but no different then the common link they had with other groups
in that they had two arms, two legs, red blood, a head, scrotum, etc.
"of 41 suicide attackers from Hezbollah 1982- 1986,
only eight were Islamic fundamentalists.
Twenty-seven were Communists and Socialists.
Three were Christians, one of which was a Christian
high school teacher with a B.A."
Thus, more of those terrorists were ATHEISTS than were religious! 8^o
Professor Robert Pape replaces hysteria with cold hard research;
Their religion is totally irrelevant - just like your asshole nature has
nothing to do with things that actually count as facts.

who live peaceful lives, raising their families, quietly worshipping,
running charities and schools are creating more suffering than the
Atheist regimes which tortured and terrorised 40,000,000 people in

Religions are responsible for all the mass murders and genocides.
Atheism doesn't 'hate' any sect to the extent that they try to
exterminate that group
Unlike the christian sect
the Atheist don't have a big invisible friend who will help them
murder their fellow man.

Europe was hungry for fresh air
after nearly a millennium stultifying oppression by the
"one true church".
True, and Islam provided it! B^)
The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in contrast to the latest
Divine Revelation which was launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.
Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith and a renewed new
revelation, because ALL of history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!
Thanks for pointing that out!
"Those that make NO Mistakes, are those that MADE NOTHING!" B^D
And As we have seen from Atheism in the Modern Era, the choice, if you
want civilisation, is still which is the best (most contemporary)
revelation! B^D
The Cathars were heretics like the Gnostics and
Manichians centuries before.
I love it when atheists not the persecution of the religious in the
past, when the greatest persecution of the religious was in the 20th
Century, BY ATHEISTS! 8^o
The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical world was said
to be completely un-xian but torturing and burning anyone who believed
such was entirely xian. The church pulled out out all stops and sent a
contingent of inquisitors to root out any descent.

# Soviet Union, Stalin's regime (1924-53): 20 000 000 [make link]

* There are basically two schools of thought when it comes to the
number who died at Stalin's hands. There's the "Why doesn't anyone
realize that communism is the absolutely worst thing ever to hit the
human race, without exception, even worse than both world wars, the
slave trade and bubonic plague all put together?" school, and there's
the "Come on, stop exaggerating. The truth is horrifying enough without
you pulling numbers out of thin air" school. The two schools are
generally associated with the right and left wings of the political
spectrum, and they often accuse each other of being blinded by
prejudice, stubbornly refusing to admit the truth, and maybe even having
a hidden agenda. Also, both sides claim that recent access to former
Soviet archives has proven that their side is right.
* Here are a few illustrative estimates from the Big Numbers school:
o Adler, N., Victims of Soviet Terror, 1993 cites these:
+ Chistyakovoy, V. (Neva, no.10): 20 million killed
during the 1930s.
+ Dyadkin, I.G. (Demograficheskaya statistika
neyestestvennoy smertnosti v SSSR 1918-1956 ): 56 to 62 million
"unnatural deaths" for the USSR overall, with 34 to 49 million under Stalin.
+ Gold, John.: 50-60 million.
o Davies, Norman (Europe A History, 1998): c. 50 million
killed 1924-53, excluding WW2 war losses. This would divide (more or
less) into 33M pre-war and 17M after 1939.
o Rummel, 1990: 61,911,000 democides in the USSR 1917-87, of
which 51,755,000 occurred during the Stalin years. This divides up into:
+ 1923-29: 2,200,000 (plus 1M non-democidal famine deaths)
+ 1929-39: 15,785,000 (plus 2M non-democidal famine)
+ 1939-45: 18,157,000
+ 1946-54: 15,613,000 (plus 333,000 non-democidal famine)
+ TOTAL: 51,755,000 democides and 3,333,000 non-demo.

o William Cockerham, Health and Social Change in Russia and
Eastern Europe: 50M+

million abnormal deaths between 1926 and 1937.
+ Tsaplin, V.V. ("Statistika zherty naseleniya v 30e

o Ponton, G. (The Soviet Era, 1994): cites an 1990 article by
Milne, et al., that excess deaths 1926-39 were likely 3.5 million and at
most 8 million.
o MEDIAN: 8.5 Million during the 1930s.
* As you can see, there's no easy compromise between the two
schools. The Big Numbers are so high that picking the midpoint between
the two schools would still give us a Big Number. It may appear to be a
rather pointless argument -- whether it's fifteen or fifty million, it's
still a huge number of killings -- but keep in mind that the population
of the Soviet Union was 164 million in 1937, so the upper estimates
accuse Stalin of killing nearly 1 out of every 3 of his people, an
extremely Polpotian level of savagery. The lower numbers, on the other
hand, leave Stalin with plenty of people still alive to fight off the
German invasion.
* [Letter]
* Although it's too early to be taking sides with absolute
certainty, a consensus seems to be forming around a death toll of 20
million. This would adequately account for all documented nastiness
without straining credulity:
o In The Great Terror (1969), Robert Conquest suggested that
the overall death toll was 20 million at minimum -- and very likely 50%
higher, or 30 million. This would divide roughly as follows: 7M in
1930-36; 3M in 1937-38; 10M in 1939-53. By the time he wrote The Great
Terror: A Re-assessment (1992), Conquest was much more confident that 20
million was the likeliest death toll.
o Britannica, "Stalinism": 20M died in camps, of famine,
executions, etc., citing Medvedev
o Brzezinski: 20-25 million, dividing roughly as follows: 7M
destroying the peasantry; 12M in labor camps; 1M excuted during and
after WW2.
o Daniel Chirot:
+ "Lowest credible" estimate: 20M
+ "Highest": 40M
+ Citing:
# Conquest: 20M
# Antonov-Ovseyenko: 30M
# Medvedev: 40M
o Courtois, Stephane, Black Book of Communism (Le Livre Noir
du Communism): 20M for the whole history of Soviet Union, 1917-91.
+ Essay by Nicolas Werth: 15M

seems to vote for Hitler as the answer to the question of who's worse,
Hitler (25M) or Stalin (20M).]

* WHPSI: 1,633,319 political executions and 25,961 deaths from
political violence, 1948-77. TOTAL: 1,659,280
* Analysis: If we line up the 14 sources which claim to be
complete, the median falls in the 45.75 to 52.5 million
range, so you probably can't go wrong picking a final
number from this neighborhood.
Depending on how you want to count some of the incomplete
estimates (such as Becker and Meisner) and whether to count a
source twice (or thrice, as with Walker) if it's referenced by
two different authorities, you can slide the median up and
down the scale by many millions. Keep in mind, however, that
official Chinese records are hidden from scrutiny,
so most of these numbers are pure guesses. It's pointless
to get attached to any one of them, because the real number
could easily be half or twice any number here.
* Perhaps a better way of estimating would be to add up the
individual components. The medians here are:
o Purges, etc. during the first few years: 2M (10 estimates)
o Great Leap Forward: 31-33M (14 estimates)
o Cultural Revolution: 1M (13 estimates)
o Ethnic Minorities, primarily Tibetans: 750-900T
(8 estimates, see below)
o Labor Camps: 20M (5 estimates)
o This produces a total of some 54,750,000 to 56,900,000
deaths. The weak link in this calculation is in the
Labor Camp numbers for which we only have 5 estimates.
* Notice that many early body counts (such as Walker) completely
miss the famine during the Great Leap Forward, which was
largely unknown in the west until around 1980. There are two
contradictory ways to assess those early estimates which
ignore the famine:
1. "If these are the numbers that they came up with without
the famine, imagine how high the true number will be
once you add the famine deaths."
2. "Can we trust any of these numbers? After all, if they
missed such a huge famine, they can't have known very much
about what was going on inside China."
* ... so this line of reasoning will get us nowhere. In fact, the
median of the 7 estimate that predate 1980 is 45.7M, which is
almost the same as the median of the 7 estimates that post-date
1980 -- 58M. (At this scale, a 12M difference counts as "almost
the same".)


Now, remember, these are the CITIZENS of those atheist shitholes being
killed by the Atheist regimes who made their lives such misery and
despair that when the atheist regimes crumbled from their own evil and
incompetence, the people could not wait to shuck off the filthy atheist
shitpigs and their nightmare.. and embrace a path more tolerant of
religion.. since then their nations have prospered.. still suffering
the deep scars of atheist abuse, but once more part of Civilisation and
making progress!!


Now, all you have to do is show similar EVIDENCE.. not your IDIOTIC
OPINIONS, or those of some other atheist cretin.. that countries like
the USA, which Prints "In God We Trust" on it's money, is in any way
such a murderous tyranny, torturing terrorising and murdering over
20,000,000 of it's citizens!

Off you go you snivelling atheist fraud!

Last night I watched a documentary on the Cathars in France in the 1300s
and the efforts made by the church to eliminate them.
1300???     BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAAA
I love the way Atheist propagandists have to go back to the MEDIEVAL
period to find misdeeds by ancient Christians for which they will
irrationally hold modern Christians responsible!   B^D
I love the way how religious scum stand up for the barbaric crimes of the
church by saying they happened in the past. If that is the truth then we
should stop sending former Nazi's to jail because the holocaust is in the
past.
We cannot change the past but we can be responsible for our own
actions which would include demonising people who do not believe what
we believe. Sadly this is a human tendency so some of the religious
and atheists alike have fallen into the trap with tragic consequences.
We need to learn from the past so that it never happens again.

"The development from a religion of fear to moral religion is a great
step in peoples' lives. And yet, that primitive religions are based
entirely on fear and the religions of civilized peoples purely on
morality is a prejudice against which we must be on our guard...
Science has therefore been charged with undermining morality, but the
charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually
on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis
is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be
restrained by fear of punishment and hopes of reward after death."

--Albert Einstein, New York Times Magazine (November 9, 1930)

"Nobody, certainly, will deny that the idea of the existence of an
omnipotent, just, and omnibeneficent personal God is able to accord
man solace, help, and guidance; also, by virtue of its simplicity it
is accessible to the most undeveloped mind. But, on the other hand,
there are decisive weaknesses attached to this idea in itself, which
have been painfully felt since the beginning of history. That is, if
this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human
action, every human thought, and every human feeling and aspiration is
also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible
for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving
out punishment and rewards He would to a certain extent be passing
judgment on Himself. How can this be combined with the goodness and
righteousness ascribed to Him? The main source of the present-day
conflicts between the spheres of religion and of science lies in this
concept of a personal God."

--Albert Einstein,Science, Philosophy and Religion, A Symposium,
published by the Conference on Science, Philosophy and Religion in
Their Relation to the Democratic Way of Life, Inc., New York (1941);
later published in Out of My Later Years (1950)

The Harmony of Science and Religion"

"Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind."

- Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion:
a Symposium", 1941
^^^^^

Science being LED, as usual, by the divinely inspired; ;-)

`Abdu'l-Bahá, in 1912, stated that religion without science
is mere superstition and that science without religion is
crude materialism;

"Religion and science are the two wings upon which a man's intelligence
can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It s
not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with
the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism."
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks 1912
^^^^
(London: Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1969), pp. 141-46.

"Bahá'u'lláh has declared that religion must be in
accord with science and reason. If it does not
correspond with scientific principles and the
processes of reason, it is superstition.
For God has endowed us with faculties by which
we may comprehend the realities of things, contemplate
reality itself. If religion is opposed to reason and
science, faith is impossible; and when faith and
confidence in the divine religion are not manifest
in the heart, there can be no spiritual attainment.
- Abdul Baha


---------


I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us
with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use
and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can obtain by
them. He would not require us to deny sense and reason in physical
matters which are set before our eyes and minds by direct experience or
necessary demonstrations.

- Galileo Galilei 1615.

..science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with
the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling,
however, springs from the sphere of Religion... science without religion
is lame, religion without science is blind.

- Albert Einstein "Ideas and Opinions" 1954

The Greatness of God is something we cannot understand even though we
are aware of it

- Rene Descarte 1596-1650 mathematician and philosopher

The glory and greatness of the Almighty God are marvellously discerned
in all His works and divinely read in the open book of heaven

- Galileo Galilei 1564-1642

I see everywhere the inevitable expression of the infinite in the world

- Louis Pasteur 1822-95

As a blind man has no idea of colours, so have we no idea of the manner
by which the All-Wise God perceives and understands all things.

- Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727

The scientific picture of the real world around me is very
deficient...Science cannot tell us why music delights us, of why and how
an old song can move us to tears.... Science is reticent too when it is
a question of the great Unity... of which we all somehow form a part, to
which we belong. The most popular name for it in our time is God.

- Erwin Schroedinger 1933 Nobel prize in Physics
"My view of the World" 1918

There can never be any real opposition between religion and science.
Every serious and reflective person realizes, I think, that the
religious elements in his nature must be recognized and cultivated if
all the powers of the human soul are to act together in perfect balance
and harmony.

- Max Planck winner of the 1918 Nobel prize in Physics
"Where is Science Going" 1918

"Something unknown is doing we don't know what"
-Sir Arthur Eddington

Religion and science are the two wings upon which man's intelligence can
soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It is not
possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with the
wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism.

- 'Abdu'l - Baha "Paris Talks" 1911

Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist): "A common sense interpretation of
the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as
well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces
worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the
facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost
beyond question." (2)

George Ellis (British astrophysicist): "Amazing fine tuning occurs in
the laws that make this [complexity] possible. Realization of the
complexity of what is accomplished makes it very difficult not to use
the word 'miraculous' without taking a stand as to the ontological
status of the word." (3)

Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy): "I find it
quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be
some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the
explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something
instead of nothing." (6)

John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA): "We are, by astronomical standards,
a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the
Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could
never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances
indicate the universe was created for man to live in." (7)

George Greenstein (astronomer): "As we survey all the evidence, the
thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather,
Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without
intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence
of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially
crafted the cosmos for our benefit?" (8)

Arthur Eddington (astrophysicist): "The idea of a universal mind or
Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present
state of scientific theory." (9)

Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics): "Astronomy leads us to a unique
event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very
delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to
permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say
'supernatural') plan." (10)

Roger Penrose (mathematician and author): "I would say the universe
has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance." (11)

Tony Rothman (physicist): "When confronted with the order and beauty
of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it's very
tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am
sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it." (12)

Vera Kistiakowsky (MIT physicist): "The exquisite order displayed by
our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the
divine." (13)

Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has
lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad
dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to
conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he
is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for
centuries." (14)

Stephen Hawking (British astrophysicist): "Then we shall… be able to
take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and
the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the
ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of
God." (15)

Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics): "When I began my
career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced
atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be
writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-
Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are
straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand
them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable
logic of my own special branch of physics." (16) Note: Tipler since
has actually converted to Christianity, hence his latest book, The
Physics Of Christianity.

Alexander Polyakov (Soviet mathematician): "We know that nature is
described by the best of all possible mathematics because God created
it."(17)

Ed Harrison (cosmologist): "Here is the cosmological proof of the
existence of God – the design argument of Paley – updated and
refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie
evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that
requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one....
Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the
teleological or design argument." (18)

Edward Milne (British cosmologist): "As to the cause of the Universe,
in context of expansion, that is left for the reader to insert, but
our picture is incomplete without Him [God]." (19)

Barry Parker (cosmologist): "Who created these laws? There is no
question but that a God will always be needed." (20)

Drs. Zehavi, and Dekel (cosmologists): "This type of universe,
however, seems to require a degree of fine tuning of the initial
conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'." (21)

Arthur L. Schawlow (Professor of Physics at Stanford University, 1981
Nobel Prize in physics): "It seems to me that when confronted with the
marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how.
The only possible answers are religious. . . . I find a need for God
in the universe and in my own life." (22)

Henry "Fritz" Schaefer (Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and
director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the
University of Georgia): "The significance and joy in my science comes
in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to
myself, 'So that's how God did it.' My goal is to understand a little
corner of God's plan." (23)



Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to
understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a
superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to
comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science." (24)

Carl Woese (microbiologist from the University of Illinois) "Life in
Universe - rare or unique? I walk both sides of that street. One day I
can say that given the 100 billion stars in our galaxy and the 100
billion or more galaxies, there have to be some planets that formed
and evolved in ways very, very like the Earth has, and so would
contain microbial life at least. There are other days when I say that
the anthropic principal, which makes this universe a special one out
of an uncountably large number of universes, may not apply only to
that aspect of nature we define in the realm of physics, but may
extend to chemistry and biology. In that case life on Earth could be
entirely unique." (25)


"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a
little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the
ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that
someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It
does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the
child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a
mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly
suspects." - Albert Einstein

"The statistical probability that organic structures and the most
precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be
generated by accident, is zero."- Ilya Prigogine (Chemist-Physicist)
Recipient of two Nobel Prizes in chemistry
I. Prigogine, N. Gregair, A. Babbyabtz, Physics Today 25, pp. 23-28

"The really amazing thing is not that life on Earth is balanced on a
knife-edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a knife-edge,
and would be total chaos if any of the natural 'constants' were off
even slightly. You see," Davies adds, "even if you dismiss man as a
chance happening, the fact remains that the universe seems
unreasonably suited to the existence of life -- almost contrived --
you might say a 'put-up job'."- Dr. Paul Davies
(noted author and Professor of Theoretical Physics at Adelaide
University)

But there is a big difference between people CHOOSING to
follow bad advice, and being tortured, terrorised and
killed to FORCE compliance;

"Atheism is the natural and inseparable part of Communism."
-Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin)

"Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism."

"How can you make a revolution without firing squads?"

But it was not just the Atheism of the leadership,

The Atheist leadership's policies were implemented under
the Red Terror, via gulags and executions, the use of
every arm of the state for anti-religious propaganda
and the forced indoctrination of CHILDREN! B^[

The difference would be that Australia, Europe, the USA, Canada,

as MOST modern majority-religious societies are tolerant rights-based
democracies where atheist minorities are protected.. whereas EVERY
Atheistt state has been a repressive tyranny, where religious have
been persecuted.

Over 40,000,000 victims of atheist terror, torture and murder.

Science being LED, as usual, by the divinely inspired; ;-)
`Abdu'l-Bahá, in 1912, stated that religion without science
is mere superstition and that science without religion is
crude materialism;
"Religion and science are the two wings upon which a man's intelligence
can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It s
not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with
the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism."
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks 1912
^^^^
(London: Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1969), pp. 141-46.
"Bahá'u'lláh has declared that religion must be in
accord with science and reason. If it does not
correspond with scientific principles and the
processes of reason, it is superstition.
For God has endowed us with faculties by which
we may comprehend the realities of things, contemplate
reality itself. If religion is opposed to reason and
science, faith is impossible; and when faith and
confidence in the divine religion are not manifest
in the heart, there can be no spiritual attainment.
- Abdul Baha
---------
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us
with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use
and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can obtain by
them. He would not require us to deny sense and reason in physical
matters which are set before our eyes and minds by direct experience or
necessary demonstrations.
- Galileo Galilei 1615.
..science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with
the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling,
however, springs from the sphere of Religion... science without religion
is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein "Ideas and Opinions" 1954
The Greatness of God is something we cannot understand even though we
are aware of it
- Rene Descarte 1596-1650 mathematician and philosopher
The glory and greatness of the Almighty God are marvellously discerned
in all His works and divinely read in the open book of heaven
- Galileo Galilei 1564-1642
I see everywhere the inevitable expression of the infinite in the world
- Louis Pasteur 1822-95
As a blind man has no idea of colours, so have we no idea of the manner
by which the All-Wise God perceives and understands all things.
- Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727
The scientific picture of the real world around me is very
deficient...Science cannot tell us why music delights us, of why and how
an old song can move us to tears.... Science is reticent too when it is
a question of the great Unity... of which we all somehow form a part, to
which we belong. The most popular name for it in our time is God.
- Erwin Schroedinger 1933 Nobel prize in Physics
"My view of the World" 1918
There can never be any real opposition between religion and science.
Every serious and reflective person realizes, I think, that the
religious elements in his nature must be recognized and cultivated if
all the powers of the human soul are to act together in perfect balance
and harmony.

Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist): "A common sense interpretation of
the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as
well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces
worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the
facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost
beyond question." (2)
George Ellis (British astrophysicist): "Amazing fine tuning occurs in
the laws that make this [complexity] possible. Realization of the
complexity of what is accomplished makes it very difficult not to use
the word 'miraculous' without taking a stand as to the ontological
status of the word." (3)
Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy): "I find it
quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be
some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the
explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something
instead of nothing." (6)
John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA): "We are, by astronomical standards,
a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the
Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could
never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances
indicate the universe was created for man to live in." (7)
George Greenstein (astronomer): "As we survey all the evidence, the
thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather,
Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without
intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence
of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially
crafted the cosmos for our benefit?" (8)
Arthur Eddington (astrophysicist): "The idea of a universal mind or
Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present
state of scientific theory." (9)
Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics): "Astronomy leads us to a unique
event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very
delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to
permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say
'supernatural') plan." (10)
Roger Penrose (mathematician and author): "I would say the universe
has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance." (11)
Tony Rothman (physicist): "When confronted with the order and beauty
of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it's very
tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am
sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it." (12)
Vera Kistiakowsky (MIT physicist): "The exquisite order displayed by
our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the
divine." (13)
Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has
lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad
dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to
conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he
is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for
centuries." (14)
Stephen Hawking (British astrophysicist): "Then we shall… be able to
take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and
the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the
ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of
God." (15)
Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics): "When I began my
career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced
atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be
writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-
Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are
straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand
them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable
logic of my own special branch of physics." (16) Note: Tipler since
has actually converted to Christianity, hence his latest book, The
Physics Of Christianity.
Alexander Polyakov (Soviet mathematician): "We know that nature is
described by the best of all possible mathematics because God created
it."(17)
Ed Harrison (cosmologist): "Here is the cosmological proof of the
existence of God – the design argument of Paley – updated and
refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie
evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that
requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one....
Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the
teleological or design argument." (18)

in context of expansion, that is left for the reader to insert, but
our picture is incomplete without Him [God]." (19)
Barry Parker (cosmologist): "Who created these laws? There is no
question but that a God will always be needed." (20)
Drs. Zehavi, and Dekel (cosmologists): "This type of universe,
however, seems to require a degree of fine tuning of the initial
conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'." (21)
Arthur L. Schawlow (Professor of Physics at Stanford University, 1981
Nobel Prize in physics): "It seems to me that when confronted with the
marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how.
The only possible answers are religious. . . . I find a need for God
in the universe and in my own life." (22)
Henry "Fritz" Schaefer (Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and
director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the
University of Georgia): "The significance and joy in my science comes
in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to
myself, 'So that's how God did it.' My goal is to understand a little
corner of God's plan." (23)
Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to
understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a
superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to
comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science." (24)
Carl Woese (microbiologist from the University of Illinois) "Life in
Universe - rare or unique? I walk both sides of that street. One day I
can say that given the 100 billion stars in our galaxy and the 100
billion or more galaxies, there have to be some planets that formed
and evolved in ways very, very like the Earth has, and so would
contain microbial life at least. There are other days when I say that
the anthropic principal, which makes this universe a special one out
of an uncountably large number of universes, may not apply only to
that aspect of nature we define in the realm of physics, but may
extend to chemistry and biology. In that case life on Earth could be
entirely unique." (25)
"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a

Last night I watched a documentary on the Cathars in France in the 1300s
and the efforts made by the church to eliminate them.
1300??? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAAA
.
Did you see doco fas ?/
Yes, i think it's important to know about the disasters caused by
dogmatism in the past so we avoid it in the present and the future
it was very interesting indeed
Interesting historically, and a great example how religion has evolved
and progressed with each new revelation,
Indeed Fas
as they had transcript of the interrogations it was great , often we
have to rely of accounts that can be biased
except when hardcore fundies try to cling to the past.
You do realise that was a reference to you, you fraud,
and your taliban mates.
For the Church that meant it took 1,343 years
to admit that Islam worships the same God.
In due time there will be one GOD,
Oh fer Cripes sake! How can you continue to PRETEND to be a
Muslim when you breach the most fundamental tenet of Islam..

There IS one God.. not, 'there will be one day!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA

You are as Muslim as a Bacon Burger!!!!
but it will take humans millions
of years to understand what GOD is , until then we use whatever we
have availbale to explain and understand
You can't even understand enough about the Qur'an to answer a simple
question about the most FUNDAMENTAL statement of faith in Islam...
the Shahada!
Do you think it will take Islam that long to admit that Rasul are not
Nabi?
"La Ilaha Ill Allah Muhammadur Rasul Allah"
("There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Rasul (Messenger) of Allah")
The term "Khatam-an-Nabiyyin" - Seal of the **Prophets** does not mean
that there will be no more Rasul (Messengers) but merely that the
prophetic cycle is sealed.
You are the most pathetic FAKE Muslim I have ever encountered in Usenet!
B^D

Your support of the Taliban, even as they terrorise and murder Pakistani
Muslims to intimidate them and control the Swat Valler, reveals you are
an Agent Provocateur, a Tool whose intent is to slander Islam and incite
hatred of Muslims BY PRETENDING To BE ONE!

I have called you on this before, when I, a non-Muslim, a mere Kafir,
asked you a simple question about the Qur'an and you couldn't answer,
gave some story about consulting your Imam and obviously couldn't
Google an answer! B^D

Now you are caught out again;

There are only 5 Rasul in the Qur'an, each credited with
a distinct revelation:


Ishmael, David, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad


The term "Prophet" is distinctly different: "Nabi (sing.)
anbiyaa, nabiyyin (pl.)


There are 25 anbiyaa mentioned in the Qur'an, thus in addition to
the Rasul there are another 20, including Enoch, Ezekial, Isiah etc


Thus all Rasul are Nabi, but not all Nabi are Rasul.

All of the Messengers are also prophets, but not all
of the prophets are Messengers.. according to the Qur'an!


Rasul denotes a higher station.


The term "Khatam-an-Nabiyyin" - Seal of the Prophets thus refers
to the seal of the LESSER cycle, that of prophets, not of the more
ground-breaking and earth shattering Messengers. 8^)


Moreover "Khatam" meaning seal, or ornament is used in the Qur'an, and
not the related "Khatim", which is more commonly used to mean final or
last.


For Muslims to read those two statements as 'Mohammed is the final
word from God" would mean that Mohammed is only a Nabi, a 'mere'
prophet, and not the glorious Rasul which they proclaim him to be every
day. 8^o


And I have SILENCED the pretend Muslim! B^]

The Believer

"Thus does Allah confound the unbelievers."
Sura [40.74]


"Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers
to confound them with confusion ?"
Sura [19:83]


Go, and stop slandering Islam with your vile support for the Taliban,
you Islamofascist tool!
Your Imams make the same mistake as the Saducees and Pharisees who
denied the Lord, Jesus, and the Priests and Cardinals who denied
Mohammed PBUH.
It is on their heads.. Allah is the Unconstrained!
I bet a lot of christians lost their faith in the church
Why, their Dark Age is in the past, your's is here and now.
.
How many Muslims are losing faith when they witness the extremists and
those like you who support the Taliban?
The Taliban are the only ones able to rebuild peace in Afghanistan
after the western armies have AGAIN destroyed it
The Taliban are a CREATION of the west, who armed the mujahadeen
with weapons to bring down Soviet attack helicopters.

Ask the Pakistanis in the Swat Valley about those medieval thugs!

[2.190] And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight
with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah
does not love those who exceed the limits.
As the Taliban are the only ones who can now restore law and order in
a devastated country we MUST support them
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHA

The Taliban have intimidated and TERRORISED the Pakistanis in the Swat
Valley by executing local leaders who oppose them.

Which Muslims are you pretending to be part of, the vast amjority
who already have Law and order in Pakistan or the Taliban who
seek to destroy it?
the Taliban are the only people who can restore law and order once
western taxpayers and their armies have destroyed Muslim countries
About a decade ago, I served on the school council of my kids
primary school with an Afghan chemist who was so grateful he
had been accepted as a refugee to Australia, even though he
was doing manual labour here, because his daughter could get an education!!!

Females are not educated by the Taliban.

So they can't become doctors.

But then, their husbands will not let them be examined by a male doctor...

We can join the dots, you pretend they aren't there!!! B^p
Islamofascists are killing more MUSLIMS than the Crusaders.
If you believe the western media
Bullshit, the entire WORLD is aware of the massive death toll in the
Iran-Iraq wars, when the Ayatollahs sent young fanatics to die in
wave after wave of full frontal attacks that left rivers of blood and
martyrs thicker than flies on your bullshit!


"Pakistan deploys troops to combat Taliban

Pakistan has sent troops to combat Taliban fighters,
who have moved into an area only 100km from the capital,
Islamabad.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA

You insidious viper, your bullshit is exposed..
you are a PRETEND Muslim, seeking to discredit Islam by
falsely claiming to be part of it! B^D
BUT I know the CIA and mossad did 9/11 and Bali And London and Spain
sure you do.. you put on your tinfoil telepathic helmet! B^D

YOu can't even find al jazeera on the Net! B^D

You don't know what day it is, you are as Muslim as a Vodka shot with a
beer chaser!!!
and Mumbai bombings and most so called suicide bombings are mostly CIA
and Mossad assassinations

out the dirty work , they then kill them once the work is finished

its no wonder so many christians are converting to Islam
It's not a numbers game.
When Tahireh tore off her veil and declared "You may kill me
if you wish, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women"
a full half-century before the sufragettes in Europe, the new age
dawned... and your Imam's and Mullahs missed it, as surely
as the Vatican missed Galileao, and the San Hedron missed Jesus!
The Persian Imams did kill her, eventually, a poet slaughtered
by the faith of Hafez and Rumi... the heavens wept! ...but all
around the world ...WOMEN ARE EMANCIPATED.
That is less than 150 years since the return of the Hidden Imam..
never has a faith swept the globe with such astonishing speed.
The Baha'i were created by great Britain as a front and under cover
agents nest to prepare the invasion of the Otterman empire
The Otterman Umpire? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAAA

Loading Image...

Now if you want to see an Ottoman, there are representatives
of the Ottoman empire standing behind Abdul Baha when he was
knighted by the British FOR HIS SERVICES TO THE PALESTINIANS,
during the first world war!!

Loading Image...

The one with the sword and pyjama pants is an Ottoman, so is the one
holding the award and all the others wearing Fez.

Abdul Baha was exiled to Palestine, with his Father and family, by the
Persian Shah, and locked in a foul prison in the pestilential city of
Akka.. and yet, such was his character, that he won over his captors,
became on friendly terms with the governing authority, including those
smiling officials in the photo, and was so beloved for his charitable
work that when he died, thousands, Christians, Jews and Muslims attended
his funeral.

Now he never used the title "Sir" so little did such things mean to
him. Bahai's eschew politics. They are the only religion who not
only support the separation of church and State, but refuse to accept
any money from outside their faith, to ensure that separation is
maintained!

Now.. as he was EXILED from Persia, by the Shah, not the British, and
imprisoned in an OTTOMAN jail in Palestine, by the Ottomans at the
request of the Shah.. not the Jews .. it WAS HARDLY A BRITISH/ZIONIST
PLOT.. you pathetic slandering lunatic!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAAA!


I have seen the hate-websites claiming 'Bahai are a Zionist front',
created by the same anti-semites who you pander to, and they are as
big a joke as you are.
as was the Druze and Zionists and Mormons
How come you never have any evidence for your bullshit? B^]
When theyare no longer needed the Superpowers will cut off funding and
they will die out or be killed
The Persians killed Tahireh, but they could not stop the emancipation of
women.

The Imams killed the Bab, and the mob tore his body to pieces,
but now
Iran does not hate them for their beliefs but because they are
traitors who get funding from the west to destroy their own country
Read what a RUSSIAN official said of the Bahai who were
refugees in Ashkabad after the Persian Imams had killed
20,000 martyrs;

"This harmless, progressive, liberal sect was founded by the Bab, who
was shot in Tabriz in 1850, close to the wall of the citadel at a place
which I tried in vain to locate. The Babis were persecuted in Persia in
my time and had to conceal their faith; I had never met them there. They
came to Russia and even spread to America, where they were called Baha'i.

The Babis in Ashkhabad formed a closely knit community of honest,
law-abiding people, somewhat reminiscent of the early Christian churches
in the first century after Christ. The great event in the life of the
Babi colony was the arrival of Hadji Mirza M.Taghi,* a Babi chief, and
nephew of Bab, from Yezd, Persia in 1902. A rich, wise, kind old man of
Biblical appearance and dressed in floating Oriental garments, he looked
like one of the Magi who came to Bethlehem to adore the birth of Christ.

I presented Hadji Mirza M. Taghi to military governor of Transcaspia,
General D. I. Subotich, who agreed to lay the corner-stone of the Babi
temple. It was an impressive ceremony, this Russian recognition of
Babism as an established religion at a moment when hundreds of Babis
were being slaughtered in Persia. The Bab community presented General
Subotich with a picture by the famous calligrapher Meshkin Kalam,
representing a bird on a tree. The picture was formed with the letters
composing the verse, 'On the Tree of Eternity sits the Bird of Truth
repeating: "He (God) is one, is one, is one." '

Although the Babis in Ashkhabad kept the outward appearance of
old-fashioned Moslems, their conceptions were entirely different. Babi
women visited European families and enjoyed a freedom unknown at that
time in Moslem countries. The Babishad a small book called Kitabi
Siossieh (The Book of Behavior). They considered that each man had a
divine spark which must be kept pure during his lifetime in order to
ascend to heaven. The Babis in Ashkhabad presented various stages of
evolution, ranging from a purely Oriental to a European way of life.
However, they retained their Persian attire, whereas in European Russia
they wore western clothes. I was glad to hear that after the revolution
the persecution of Babis ceased in Persia, and I have no doubt that they
will prove to be excellent Persian citizens. They are rtainly good
examples of what may become of a Persian liberated from the suffocating
atmosphere of an old decaying past. "

Now that's what's known as an INDEPENDENT EYE-WITNESS account.

Russian, not British, and known more for Pogroms AGAINST the Jews
than for being in their pocket.

Your propaganda lies and slanders just don't stand up!

2.62: Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews,
and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in
Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their
reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor
shall they grieve.
They are ALL or were originally traitors being used as smoke
screens , manufactured by the west
The UN has on numerous occasions documented the persecution of the
Bahai in Iran.

You can't bury the truth.

Even now.. they refuse to mount any attack on the Iranian government
which has denied jobs in government to Bahai, denied education to
their children arrested tortured and killed Bahai for 'crimes' such
as teaching Bahai childrens classes.

Along with the Tibetan Buddhists, they remain almost alone in shunning
not just 'wars of Liberation' but any political opposition at all.

There is no Bahai rebellion. no revolt, no subversion.

They live as the Russian official described, fleeing from and denouncing
persecution and violence... they would rather die than kill.

You and your lies cannot hide that light.

None of that has anything to do with the topic,
and there is nothing of consequence in the rest of your rambling post..
Allah is the unconstrained! He is not bound by your or my, or

back does it become clear what happened.
A lone voice, in a corrupted Persia, a mere slip of a girl,
spoke with absolute authority, and Islam, once the torch bearer of
civilisation, murdered her.. and became closed to the Divine fragrances
wafting on the breeze...
It was in the West, which you despise for past and present wrongs,
that the Spirit took wings, and now Islam lags, not behind the West,
with it's pornography, but behind the new dispensation, where Men
and Women are equal! ;-)
Your clerics can play their power games forever, but the torch is passed

The Seal of the What???
The mistake causing Muslim persecution of Bahai;
The Great Disappointment 1844
was a major event in the history of the Millerite movement, a 19th
century American Christian sect. William Miller, a Baptist preacher,
prophesied that Jesus Christ would return to the earth during the year
1844. A more specific date, that of October 22, 1844 was calculated by
Samuel S. Snow.
True, a number of Christian theologians, from
a variety of denominations, believed 1844 was
the time of fulfillment of Hebrew and Christian
prophesies.
In the Holy land, Templars had built their houses
You can still read a carved inscription above one
door of a Templar family "Der Herr ist Nahe" (God is nigh)
"On May 23, 1844, in Shiraz, Persia, a young man known
as the Báb announced the imminent appearance of the
Messenger of God awaited by all the peoples of the world.
The title Báb means "the Gate".
http://www.bahai.org/dir/thebab
1844 marks the birth of the Bahá'í faith, The Messenger of God
proclaimed by The Bab was Bahá’u’lláh, who declared he was
the Return of the Spriit of Christ, the Hidden Imam, the Promised One
of all religions...http://www.bahai.org/dir/bahaullah
So who was disappointed? B^)
The Bab "acquired tens of thousands of supporters,
was virulently opposed by Iran's Shi'a clergy, and
was suppressed by the Iranian government leading
to thousands of his followers, termed Bábís, being
persecuted and killed. In 1850 the Báb was shot by
a firing squad in Tabríz."
The mob tore his corpse to pieces. His remains
are now interred in this Shrine, on the slopes
of Mt Carmel, where the Christian Millernarians
and the Templars awaited the 2nd Coming of Christ
in 1844, and, though they didn't realise at the time,
http://tinyurl.com/6lxsym
Jesus did not appear as expected
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night"
2 PETER 3:10
As expected, but not where expected. ;-)
No different from the First Coming, .the Pharisees said that
the prophecies foretold the Messiah would be 'a King' not
a Carpenter, and taunted "where is his crown?,
where is his throne?, where is his sword?
...and they killed him in their ignorance of the spiritual
kingdom he rules, the the sword of his Word, which cleaved
even members of a family, some ho believed and others who did not.
Muslims make the same mistake of believing they can tie
Allah's hands with their own INTERPETATION , but they
misunderstand the "Khatam-an-Nabiyyin" - "Seal of the Prophets"
and falsely argue that there can be no more 'Rasul', after
Mohammed (PBUH).
God is not constrained by the poor understanding of men. 8^)
and as a result October 22, 1844 became known as the Great
Disappointment.
Not to millions of Bahá'ís, whose beliefs, such as the equality
of men and women, declared half a century before
the Sufragette movement took off in Europe, seem to indicate
their teachings are indeed those for this age! B^)
Did people reallly think Jesus would re-appear in the clouds
with bleeding holes in his palms?
---------
Mohammed, according to the Qur'an, is NOT
the 'Seal'(End) of the Messengers of God('Rasul').
merely the seal of the prophets ('Nabi').
The fundamental profession of Muslim faith,
"La Ilaha Ill Allah Muhammadur Rasul Allah"
Translates as
"There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Rasul (Messenger) of Allah"
There are only 5 Rasul in the Qur'an, each credited with
Ishmael, David, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad
The term "Prophet" is distinctly different: "Nabi (sing.)
anbiyaa, nabiyyin (pl.)
There are 25 anbiyaa mentioned in the Qur'an, thus in addition to
the Rasul there are another 20, including Enoch, Ezekial, Isiah etc
Thus all Rasul are Nabi, but not all Nabi are Rasul.
All of the Messengers are also prophets, but not all
of the prophets are Messengers.. according to the Qur'an!
Rasul denotes a higher station.
The term "Khatam-an-Nabiyyin" - Seal of the Prophets thus refers
to the seal of the LESSER cycle, that of prophets, not of the more
ground-breaking and earth shattering Messengers. 8^)
Moreover "Khatam" meaning seal, or ornament is used in the Qur'an, and
not the related "Khatim", which is more commonly used to mean final or
last.
For Muslims to read those two statements as 'Mohammed is the final
word from God" would mean that Mohammed is only a Nabi, a 'mere'
prophet, and not the glorious Rasul which they proclaim him to be every
day! 8^o
Try explaining that in Tehran and see how long you continue
breathing ;-)
Such is the fate of the Bahá'ís in the land where their faith was born.
20,000 were slaughtered outright, they are not allowed to
attend university, they are not allowed to be employed
in government, some, like my friend, were tortured, her
friends killed.. all they had to do to survive was recant
their faith.
Now living in Australia, my friend's son is a Professor
at an Australian university, she invites Muslim students

same as Truganini was once she had led her people to their deaths and
handed over all their wealth and land she was no longer needed , they

Not only have *I* acknowledged the history of the Church's political

It certainly stands up well, when compared to EVERY atheist state,
which were 100% totalitarian shitholes.. in living memory!

At least the Church committed most of it's atrocities IN THE DARK AGES

atheism CREATED those condition.. IN THE 'MODERN'(sic) ERA!! 8^o

The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in contrast to the latest
Divine Revelation which was launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.
Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith and a renewed new
revelation, because ALL of history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!
Thanks for pointing that out!
"Those that make NO Mistakes, are those that MADE NOTHING!" B^D
That would be the ATHEISTS, eh!?!!!! B^D

And As we have seen from Atheism in the Modern Era, the choice, if you
want civilisation, is still which is the best (most contemporary)
revelation! B^D
The Cathars were heretics like the Gnostics and
Manichians centuries before.
I love it when atheists note the persecution of the religious in the
past, when the greatest persecution of the religious was in the 20th
Century, BY ATHEISTS! 8^o
Have you all noticed how EVERY atheist hypocrite ignores this obvious
point!?

They must think that EVERYONE is a bigoted, narrowminded and
SELF-BLINDED as they are! B^D

The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical world was said
to be completely un-xian but torturing and burning anyone who believed
such was entirely xian. The church pulled out out all stops and sent a
contingent of inquisitors to root out any descent.
So how many died in the Medieval Inquisition, compared to the 40,000,000
killed by atheists in the 'modern'(sic) era???
How come atheist hypocrites like Bukakke NEVER have any facts!?

They actually have no idea of the small numbers of witches burnt,
or victims of the Borgia popes.. which they bang on endlessly about,
straining at gnats and swallowing camels!!!

And these atheist hypocrites then misrepresent MY position as the
Collective Responsibility Atheists preach in regard to Religions
('they are all responsible for the acts of Ancient Times, and of each
other') when I say simply 'atheism is historically a Tyranny, in EVERY
case of atheist regimes, and Modern atheism makes itself COMPLICIT by
refusing to admit it, and becoming atheist Holocaust DENIERS!'
Here's the Atheist position, holding the the modern Church responsible
for ancient misdeeds, dredging up CENTURIES OLD complaints because the
Church has EVOLVED, while Athesim has REGRESSED, (from insignificance in
history, to 20th century mayhem and murder, and back to irrelevance! B^)
The Church or Rome was and still is a retarding force in the history
of developing ideas.
Crap, it is not just responsible for persecuting a handful of Cathars;
The balanced view is that the religion is the ONGOING inspiration and
sustainer of JUDEAO/CHRISTIAN(/ISLAMIC) CIVILISATION!!! B^)
There never was any practical 'Atheist alternative..' Atheism
only produces tyrannies far more violent and repressive than
the handful of religious aberrations in a history of human progress
under evolving Spiritual teachings! B^]
Just a few believers who exceeded the intellectual output of this
ignorant atheist fuckwit and his cronies in alt.atheism;
Sir Francis Bacon - established the scientific method of inquiry based
on experimentation and inductive reasoning.

view.
William Turner the "father of English botany"
John Napier Scottish mathematician known for inventing logarithms,
Napier's bones, and being the popularizer of the use of decimals.
Johannes Kepler His model of the cosmos based on nesting Platonic
solids was explicitly driven by religious ideas; his later and most
famous scientific contribution, the Kepler's laws of planetary motion,
was based on empirical data that he obtained from Tycho Brahe's
meticulous astronomical observations,
Galileo Galilei, remained a commited, rational believer, even when
persecuted by a corrupt Church. After 600 years the Church apologised! B^D
René Descartes one of the key thinkers of the Scientific Revolution in
the Western World. honoured by having the Cartesian coordinate system
used in plane geometry and algebra named after him. He did important
work on invariants and geometry. His Meditations on First Philosophy
partially concerns theology and he was devoted to reconciling his ideas
with the dogmas of Catholic Faith to which he was loyal.
Blaise Pascal well-known for Pascal's law (physics), Pascal's theorem
(math), and Pascal's Wager (theology).
Nicolas Steno a pioneer in both anatomy and geology
Robert Boyle Scientist and theologian who argued that the study of
science could improve glorification of God.

Explain the historical evidence that religion produces, inspires
and sustains the world's great civilisations and atheism has
never produced a SINGLE ONE!!!! EVERY atheist regime has been a
short lived, bloody disaster, a failed tyranny, an atheist SHITHOLE!!
What do you think the reason for that is!??? B^D
Light a candle to find your way through the darkness and the church
was sure to blow it out.
You have described the Darkness brought by EVERY Atheist regime,
not the history of an evolving human civilisation inspired by
progressive revelation. B^]
Where are the Atheist Lights to match these;
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us
with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use
and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can obtain by
them. He would not require us to deny sense and reason in physical
matters which are set before our eyes and minds by direct experience or
necessary demonstrations.
- Galileo Galilei 1615.
..science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with
the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling,
however, springs from the sphere of Religion... science without religion
is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein "Ideas and Opinions" 1954
The Greatness of God is something we cannot understand even though we
are aware of it
- Rene Descarte 1596-1650 mathematician and philosopher
The glory and greatness of the Almighty God are marvellously discerned
in all His works and divinely read in the open book of heaven
- Galileo Galilei 1564-1642
I see everywhere the inevitable expression of the infinite in the world
- Louis Pasteur 1822-95
As a blind man has no idea of colours, so have we no idea of the manner
by which the All-Wise God perceives and understands all things.
- Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727
The scientific picture of the real world around me is very
deficient...Science cannot tell us why music delights us, of why and how
an old song can move us to tears.... Science is reticent too when it is
a question of the great Unity... of which we all somehow form a part, to
which we belong. The most popular name for it in our time is God.
- Erwin Schroedinger 1933 Nobel prize in Physics
"My view of the World" 1918
The church still plays that role today condemning millions in Africa
to die for a doctrine by its teachings on contraception and condoms.
It's mistakes in no way match the deliberate slaughter by
historical atheism, killing over 40,000,000 people
The only good thing to come out
of the church is the exit door.
"Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître (July 17, 1894 – June
20, 1966)
a Belgian Roman Catholic priest, honorary prelate, professor of physics
and astronomer at the Catholic University of Leuven, proposed the Big Bang
theory of the origin of the Universe"
The modern understanding of the origin of the universe, from a modern
rational Theist! B^]
Atheism produced nothing for MILLENNIA, and then it inflicted five
brutal tyrannies which tortured terrorised and murdered tens of
millions, before being re-assigned to the dustbin of history!
And yet atheists still whine about Medieval Misdeeds!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA
Suck it up, you jealous whiners!!!!!

The Harmony of Science and Religion"

"Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind."

- Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion:
a Symposium", 1941
^^^^^

Science being LED, as usual, by the divinely inspired; ;-)

`Abdu'l-Bahá, in 1912, stated that religion without science
is mere superstition and that science without religion is
crude materialism;

"Religion and science are the two wings upon which a man's intelligence
can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It s
not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with
the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism."
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks 1912
^^^^
(London: Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1969), pp. 141-46.

"Bahá'u'lláh has declared that religion must be in
accord with science and reason. If it does not
correspond with scientific principles and the
processes of reason, it is superstition.
For God has endowed us with faculties by which
we may comprehend the realities of things, contemplate
reality itself. If religion is opposed to reason and
science, faith is impossible; and when faith and
confidence in the divine religion are not manifest
in the heart, there can be no spiritual attainment.
- Abdul Baha

Not only have *I* acknowledged the history of the Church's political
reason for creating the Inquisition, i have elaborated and explained it,
and put it in a larger context! [ Bukakke has snipped and ran! B^]

It certainly stands up well, when compared to EVERY atheist state,
which were 100% totalitarian shitholes.. in living memory!

At least the Church committed most of it's atrocities IN THE DARK AGES
when everyone was ignorant, illiterate and barbaric.. whereas
atheism CREATED those condition.. IN THE 'MODERN'(sic) ERA!! 8^o

What a pathetic liar and hypocrite you are!

I acknowledged the Church's misdeeds and extended the debate,

You have abandoned the rational debate and so lack intellectual

instead of having the moral courage to condemn hatred,
Good point.. unlike myself who condemns BOTH the medieval

snipped all of the rational debate and refused to condemn either??

The problem was Medieval ignorance, it was in contrast to the latest
Divine Revelation which was launching a brilliant Civilisation to take
mankind to the next level.
Of course it was a tussle between an ossified faith and a renewed new
revelation, because ALL of history is shaped by Spiritual Teachings,
there were no Atheist Civilisations at all!
Thanks for pointing that out!

I love it when atheists note the persecution of the religious in the

The duality of the Cathars believing that
God created the spiritual world and Satan the physical world was said
to be completely un-xian but torturing and burning anyone who believed
such was entirely xian. The church pulled out out all stops and sent a
contingent of inquisitors to root out any descent.
So how many died in the Medieval Inquisition, compared to the 40,000,000
killed by atheists in the 'modern'(sic) era???
How come athseit hypocrites like Bukakke NEVER have any facts!?

Here's the Atheist position, holding the the modern Church responsible
for ancient misdeeds, dredging up CENTURIES OLD complaints because the
Church has EVOLVED, while Athesim has REGRESSED, (from insignificance in

The Harmony of Science and Religion"

"Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind."

- Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion:
a Symposium", 1941
^^^^^

Science being LED, as usual, by the divinely inspired; ;-)

`Abdu'l-Bahá, in 1912, stated that religion without science
is mere superstition and that science without religion is
crude materialism;

"Religion and science are the two wings upon which a man's intelligence
can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It s
not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with
the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism."
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks 1912
^^^^
(London: Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1969), pp. 141-46.

"Bahá'u'lláh has declared that religion must be in
accord with science and reason. If it does not
correspond with scientific principles and the
processes of reason, it is superstition.
For God has endowed us with faculties by which
we may comprehend the realities of things, contemplate
reality itself. If religion is opposed to reason and
science, faith is impossible; and when faith and
confidence in the divine religion are not manifest
in the heart, there can be no spiritual attainment.
- Abdul Baha

Thus demonstrating once again the viciousness of
Medieval societies in the Dark Ages

The Inquisition was politically motivated.

After centuries of tolerance in the Iberian peninsula, with Jews
Christians and Muslims living together in a fruitful multicultural
melange.. circumstances changed. Frederick and Isabella put pressure
on Jews to convert, or die. It was these converted Jews, who did very
well as New Christians, who became the prime target of the Inquisiton.
Old Christians saw them prospering as a new middle class, and their
jealousy led to them denouncing the converts for continuing to practice
Jewish rituals in secret.

Thousands were tortured and killed.

But of course it's called the Spanish Inquisition, because this was
not typical, even at the time, and certainly not outside that time..
The Dark Ages.
Post by ABC
organised religions.
The Quakers are organised, and they don't have an Inquisition,
ditto for the Bahai.. so your thesis clearly falls.

Interestingly, in contrast to your blanket condemnation of ALL
organised religions, at that time Islam was reknowned for it's
tolerance.. and many Jews fled from Aragon and Castille under
Frederick and Isabellas persecution to Granada, to live under
Muslim protection.

how things change, eh?

Now, Islam is in it's Dark Age, and we see pockets of the
Anti-semitism among Islamo fascists like the Taliban, Al Qaida,
the Saudis and Kangarooted.


But ALL the torture and death under the inquisition pales into
insignificance (measured in THOUSANDS) compared to the later
Atheist holocausts which took over 40,000,000 MILLION victims. 8^o

I condemn all your violence.. the medieval catholics and the Modern
atheists.. at least they have PROGRESSED, atheists have regressed,
from impotent and irrelevant though the entirety of human history,
to vile tyranny in the 20th century, and now back to ineffectual
irrelevance;

The scientific picture of the real world around me is very
deficient...Science cannot tell us why music delights us, of why and how
an old song can move us to tears.... Science is reticent too when it is
a question of the great Unity... of which we all somehow form a part, to
which we belong. The most popular name for it in our time is God.
- Erwin Schroedinger 1933 Nobel prize in Physics
"My view of the World" 1918
The church still plays that role today condemning millions in Africa
to die for a doctrine by its teachings on contraception and condoms.
It's mistakes in no way match the deliberate slaughter by
historical atheism, killing over 40,000,000 people
The only good thing to come out
of the church is the exit door.
"Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître (July 17, 1894 –
June 20, 1966)
a Belgian Roman Catholic priest, honorary prelate, professor of physics
and astronomer at the Catholic University of Leuven, proposed the Big Bang
theory of the origin of the Universe"
The modern understanding of the origin of the universe, from a modern
rational Theist! B^]
Atheism produced nothing for MILLENNIA, and then it inflicted five
brutal tyrannies which tortured terrorised and murdered tens of
millions, before being re-assigned to the dustbin of history!
And yet atheists still whine about Medieval Misdeeds!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA
Suck it up, you jealous whiners!!!!!

The Harmony of Science and Religion"

"Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind."

- Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion:
a Symposium", 1941
^^^^^

Science being LED, as usual, by the divinely inspired; ;-)

`Abdu'l-Bahá, in 1912, stated that religion without science
is mere superstition and that science without religion is
crude materialism;

"Religion and science are the two wings upon which a man's intelligence
can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It s
not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with
the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of
superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone
he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of
materialism."
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks 1912
^^^^
(London: Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1969), pp. 141-46.

"Bahá'u'lláh has declared that religion must be in
accord with science and reason. If it does not
correspond with scientific principles and the
processes of reason, it is superstition.
For God has endowed us with faculties by which
we may comprehend the realities of things, contemplate
reality itself. If religion is opposed to reason and
science, faith is impossible; and when faith and
confidence in the divine religion are not manifest
in the heart, there can be no spiritual attainment.
- Abdul Baha

Secret Files Of The Inquisition
Send to a friend
#

: The Tears of Spain - For centuries, the historical records of the
Inquisition have been locked away to become the subject of myth and
legend. In 1998, after years of pressure from historians, scholars and
critics in search of the truth, the Vatican opened some of these
archives for the first time. Tonight's episode looks at how
Christians, Muslims and Jews lived in tolerance for centuries along
the Iberian peninsular. However by 1468 changes were afoot. The young
rulers, Isabella and Ferdinand had proclaimed themselves the Catholic
Monarchs and began an Inquisition. Jews who had converted to
Christianity were accused of secretly sabotaging the Christian faith.
Thousands perished in a ritual called the Act of Faith. (From the UK,
in English) (Documentary Series) (Part 2 of 4) (Rpt) PG CC WS

Europe's Last Death Camps - Almost ten years ago the United Nations
housed Roma refugees on toxic land in Kosovo - they ended up with some
of the highest levels of lead poisoning ever recorded, but they're
still there. Also, Mark Davis looks at how the birth of twins in
Madagascar is considered to bring bad luck - so children born as twins
are forcibly separated at birth, with one twin being sent to the north
of the country and the other being held in the south. - Current
