Life on Mars, what does it mean? It means the fundamentalist religious
fanatics, who have done everything in their power to set Science back 2
thousand years, have lost the war of Science Vs. Religion. The victory
belongs to Science. Down with the heathen religious lies that have
stifled human progress for far too long. Good riddance to bad garbage,
the false religions! Long live the Sciences!

We at the IES knew all along that Science would defeat the hypocritical
religious heresies that have for too long stifled human advancement. I
say all the hideous religious myths should be thrown on the ash heap of
hisory and set ablaze once and for all! -RX






Er - um - sorry - I don't quite follow. How would life on Mars contradict
the Bible?





If you are truly as stupid as you sound then nothing I say will help
change that. Nevertheless...

Five hundred years ago, Giordano Bruno, an Italian scientist, published
a book stating that the world was round, and not flat. He said the
heavens were filled with stars and planets peopled with life. The Church
burned him at the stake, using his own books to stoke the fires, just
because what he said contradicted their religious domga.

It took more than five hundred years to pass, but finally the Church
appologized for murdering Giordano Bruno. I, however, do not accept
their appology, because there were millions of other innocent folks who
also suffered similar fates, killed by crazed religious fanatics, for
which the neither the Church, nor any other religion, ever appologized.

Folks should understand, the religions are the greatest mass murderers
in the history of mankind, and they are still plying their handiword
today, even now as we speak...

Down with all God cursed murderous Religions... Long live the Sciences!





Moving on to religious trolling, Rudolph?





I suppose you are one of those ridiculous folks who wants to put
Biblical 'creationism' in the science curriculum? Trying to infuse your
religious bull into the Sciences?

Religion has no place in the Sciences. To mix Religion with Science
would be like trying to mix Lies with Truth. It will never happen.



Sounds like what will happen when Planet X screams by and the poles
shift.



The religious establishments have long know that 'there are no atheists
in the foxholes', that when the bombs are exploding and death and chaos
are rampant, folks start praying, instinctively. Perhaps, that is their
plan... to keep mankind in a perpetual foxhole, in a world of utter
chaos and destruction, knowing that that is the only way their phony
religions can survive the onslaught of Science, that if peace in the
world should ever come, Science would rule the day.

Paging Dr. Mengele....



Wasn't it the Vatican that helped Mengele escape to South America?

Wasn't Mengele a Christian, in good standing? Just like Hitler. And,
isn't it true that they were never excomunicated for their religious
crimes against humanity?

What Mengele did to the innocent Jewish prisoners wasn't done in the
'name of science'. He did it because he was a crazed religious fanatic
persecuting innocent Jewish folks, like the Christians have been doing
for thousands of years.

Down with crazy religious loonacy! Long live the Sciences!


How about this one?

http://www.msu.edu/user/stocks/prof/ethics/tuskg.html

Telling syphilitic african american men that they are being treated, when in
reality they were being studied to see what full-blown syphilis can do.
Made possible by a deeply racist mindset to be sure, but still in the name
of science.

Not that I don't basically agree with you that organized religion is a
source of harm, and would be best done away with, but I don't think
*anything* involving human beings can ever be completely free of "evil". To
think that it could would actually be rather unscientific and pretty much
religious in nature :-)

Using your same distorted logic, Mengele was a human and as such, the crimes
were committed in the name of humanity! In fact, every religious atrocity
was also committed by humans.

You better change your argument to be one of "Down with humanity, the
ultimate source of all atrocities"

I seem to be missing the quantifiers in the posting on my ng server,
maybe they got omitted when your posting got transferred across the
net. Did your original posting say "Some Bible scholars"? And in the
case of your last fact(oid) (= that "they" believe it is the center of
the universe), did you perhaps say "some Bible scholars who have been
dead for 500 years"?

For that matter, I've never heard any Bible scholar express the
opinion that life was unique to Earth, although I've heard some say
that perhaps the opposite is true. ("Perhaps", because they didn't
want to be dogmatic.) But maybe you limit your input from Bible
scholars to late night TV.

What's the difference if the religious bull is on 'Late Night' or 'Early
Morning'... it certainly is not on at 'Prime Time'. We all know the
Religions are Anti-Science. We all know about the war of Science Vs.
Religion. Who do you think is going to win that war? Do you think folks
will want to go back to the 'Dark Ages' of the hypocritical religious
myths and superstitious ignorance of the past, or will they want to move
on to the bright and glorious future that the promise of Science portends?

I'm afraid Rudy, this worn out wheeze just isn't going to attract the level
of attention you crave. Maybe you should jump on one of the political
bandwagons, you'll generate more "hits" for yourself by slamming the current
administration. In any case, don't you have finals or something coming up?
Shouldn't you be studying and not annoying newsgroups?

Don't be afraid O', everything is going to be alright.

I'm not running for office, yet. But when I do, I'm going to need your
vote.

Hey, O', you know I'm always looking for somebody to help me with my
homework. Since you are such a great writer, maybe you can do a term
paper for me? This way I could spend more time on the news groups, doing
what I really love, instead of working on papers no one in our time will
ever read.

Laura,

Ooops, sorry, you goofed!

That should be some idiot "Creationist" Bible Scholars believe
the Earth is 6000 years old.

Sorry, I'm Catholic and no priest or nun ever told me that the Earth is
6,000 years old. Some "Christians" in their race to be farthest away from
the Catholic Church.....make up their own stories!

Best wishes,

Ed
