Neither of them return my phone calls. And I sent them nice chocolates and flowers and everything. Guess they are both just really busy.

Back in the day, I would have said Family Guy, but I just don't get as many belly-laughs out of it as I used to. Besides, Leela's my dream cyclops and Bender's like the Uncle I should be grateful I never had.

Gotta stick with my people on this one. We may be anxiously counting down the days until we are revered enough to get our own spotlight debate, but we're still human and need love too, dammit!

It seems to me like the Bible might as well be the story of a very powerful but senile landlord with anger management issues who kicked out his tenets for violating an irrational clause in the contract, and then proceed to follow them around messing with them for the rest of eternity.

He problem solving abilities also seem kind of equivalent to a drunk teenager with supreme power.

So let's say the story is true. You've got one of the only times in history where humanity is all in one place, speaking one language and working towards a common goal. Not to mention this is pretty much the ideal setting to spread the word about how great you are. There would have been no better time to send down Christ and get the whole Christianity ball a' rolling. And instead, you scatter them, confuse their language, perhaps forever destroying the possibility of unity among your children, and pretty much guaranteeing that opposing religions will spring up all over the world. How does this make sense?

Also, if Christians believe that God, in his infinitely irrational wisdom created all languages, why are they some of the first to complain when the clerk at the gas station doesn't speak English well? Shouldn't they be basking in awe at Big G's handiwork?

Its not like I'm saying he could not do these things. I'm saying I do not find the Bible convincing. If these sorts of things were going on today and had better historical support, I might be singing a different tune. Everybody from the ancient Greeks, to the Brothers Grimm to Disney has conjured up similar kinds of tales, and we don't give them credence.

Don't get me wrong, man. For his time, Carnage was great. He is totally hardcore, looks awesome, and his first couple of stories were some of the only good stories in Spider-Man comics that decade. But now, he's just a burn-out. Had his best moments early on, and now is just another second-fiddle legacy villain who just isn't as threatening as he should be. And the whole symbiote thing has become so convoluted and soulless as to negate its original appeal.

Sure is. But just like washing clothes, you gotta be really careful about how you dry the brains. Most brains that have been washed end up shrinking.

We would be happy to use the Bible more if it could be shown that it has no errors. It is an illegitimate source of truth.

What good reason have you for ignoring the concept of evidence?

According to the stats, there have been 24,124 debates created! I don't want to dig through all of them for the gems. Of course, this begs the question, who gets to decide what a "good" debate is?

Wouldn't you think that a corrupt official with money or power might be able to get around this? Or worse, that they could set up an opponent to be executed for corruption?

Especially Canadian Geese. They come down here to party, poop, honk and startle small dogs. They don't pay taxes and mess up our sidewalks. If they were tastier, maybe, they could give something back.

Okay. But that doesn't make these two things equivalent. If we are asking you to provide evidence, we are not asking you to believe in something you don't believe in, just something you think you don't need. And again, why believe in anything if you don't need evidence?

Our bodies? Yes. All they basically do is just keep on kicking until they no longer can. Does that mean there is nothing greater?

Intrinsically, yes, that is what it means.

But we also have minds, emotions, creativity.

We can make our own meaning. As a society we can aim for something more. And we can allow ourselves to forget that it is all just a delusion.

Maybe I haven't had enough to drink to make sense of your point.

Are you saying theists don't believe in evidence? Then why believe in anything at all?

Sometimes I see Charlize Theron and think yes, then I step in dog poo and think no.

If a perfect God existed, I would assume that anything it would create should be perfect too. So if he does, he didn't build this place.

Awwww...what did old Walt do to you, not put enough penguins in his movies?

Nah, I didn't really think they were related in your head. But I saw what I found to be an amusing opportunity.

Actually, I thought the timing was hilarious since I saw you made this post right after I likened the Bible to a Disney film. Couldn't help myself.

It took me a lifetime to get as tall as a boulder on a foothill...It took that mountain millions of years to produce that boulder....show some respect for our elders.

Oh sure, just run out beyond the solar system, track one down, build a dyson sphere around it while somehow negating the gravitational effects, build some particularly badass solar batteries and play Monopoly until the supernova. Then head back and power the world until for eons. Simple stuff really. I did it on my last vacation to Vulcan.

You can't have a proper moral guide unless you have a scene with bears ripping apart 42 children for bullying a baldy. This is common sense, people!

Love is me stopping looking at other women for at least the first ten minutes of the date. Twenty if you're my soul mate.

I love how sharks are so tough and cool looking that discovery channel can make an entire week of them, and gain thousands of new viewers who would never watch that channel on any other day of the year. Go Sharks!

But, no...I haven't been.

Well, Master Chief or Kratos would ram Mario up Sonic's poop shooter and leave them tied up in Bowser's toilet.

But yeah, Sonic. He doesn't have to trip on shrooms to get super-powers.
