The only difference between a religion and a cult is popularity, which is not a substitute for veracity. I don't have a problem with people having a religion. It is just that they should keep it to themselves and stop inflicting their delusions on others.

Tragic for everyone. Did the doctor anticipate the complication? Did they offer the option of a Caesarian delivery? Did the parents decide they still wanted a "natural" birth and decline? Whatever happened, it certainly is not a homicide as that was not the intent of the doctor. Manslaughter...

Under those circumstances I would have the man charged with assault and see to it that the court had him committed for psychiatric treatment.

Despite your assumption, your version of "right and wrong" is not universal. I have no doubt that the brutal genocides conducted by the Hebrews was absolutely wrong but it is held up as a signal of the glory of your imaginary god. I quite rightly have immense disdain for that.

You are doing a pretty good job of showing disdain (which is no doubt the word you meant) to those who don't think like you do. In fact, disdain for those who are different goes right to the foundation of your horrible faith. Like the Islamic person on this thread, you need to realise that...

And your god, the most complex then possible, came from .........? There is no law that says something more complex is required to cause something to exist. Your inability to understand science does not make it wrong. Religion is the mumbo jumbo and nobody is better deceived than the...

I'm not talking about Darwinian Evolution but the evolution of the Universe itself. It is amusing how you so desperately try to deflect from the reality that conflicts with your delusional beliefs. Anything but consider that you have spent vast amounts of your life in pursuit of a promise of...

Please don't mention science in your religious delusions. Science and religion are utterly unrelated.

There is no magic involved in the scientific explanation of the evolution of the Universe. Every process from the first single pixel of intense amorphous energy through to what we see today all precisely follows the fundamental laws of Physics. Your story is of a Universe that was created via...

The Hebrews pleased their God for His glory by perpetrating a series of brutal genocidal massacres on more than thirty tribes who were peacefully living in what the Hebrew leaders called "The Promised Land". They put the gold, siler and jewels from their victims in a box and worshipped it. I...

Nothing at all to do with anger. Your indoctrination prevents you from realising how ridiculous your faith looks to a rational person.

What an idiotic assertion.

I don't know where you got that idea from. Is that what your congregation elders tell to you say when proselytizing and you can't answer a simple question? Were there kangaroos on the ark? How did they get from Australian to the middle East and then back?

And you believe this because some ancient ignorant misogynists passed the story down orally until someone wrote it down. There is zero geological evidence that the crust was different back then. The geological history over billions of years has been determined and it does not match with your...

You chose to believe that rubbish because it suits your prejudices. Common sense tells us that it is impossible to flood the whole planet. There are dozens of anomalies in the story. Were there kangaroos, koalas and wombats on the Ark? How did they get all the way from Australia to the middle...

So you actually believe a man built a ship and kept two of every animal on it for forty days while the whole planet was covered with water that came from nowhere then somehow mysteriously drained away. And you expect to be considered an intelligent person? Just bizarre. Amazing what can be done...

You are quoting from a book that is not even contemporary with what it describes and that has no corroborating evidence whatsoever. The same book also tells of happenings that we know are impossible. It is a work of fiction written to impress the gullible with the fulfillment of Old Testament...

The elderly father of a friend told me he had found the secret to longevity. Have old ancestors. He also said a good day is one where you wake up and you are still above the ground. He lived well into his nineties and had been remarkably free of any serious illness throughout. He literally died...

That is horrible for the people who have to recover your body and a waste of time for those who search for you.

Note that while many developers think that the first argument in a DLookup() is a fieldname it is actually an expression. It can be a fieldname but it is not limited to that.
