Domestic Violence, under any guise, whether it be against male or female is NOT funny.
I suggest you remove that photo or deal with the consequences.

I wonder if he knows a big guy with a spade is standing behind him? :eek:

without laws we would not function.

Are you talking legal laws, physical laws, quantum laws?
The religious laws were originally put in place as a form of control...some sense that order is better than the chaos, but that's a misunderstanding of chaos.
Essentially, we are the same as frogs and ants, we are here to ensure the survival of the species, anything else is superfluous, and there are a lot of human constructs to keep us together, 'moral', subservient etc...but just as they are human constructs, so is god.

forgive my ignorance of physics, but is that for real or has that been photoshopped?

Why don't you try it and see?

So that we don't die out and get flooded when global warming gets bad and ice melts etc.

There's always hills, mountains, and areas of high topographic elevation...these will have the added benefit of bringing us closer to Dog!


For the record, if you can't guess, I'll fall quite happily in the Atheist camp. I was brought up in a religious (not fundamentalist, quite Humanist really) family, but it wasn't for me and I was allowed to make up my own mind.
I prefer the Scientific approach ala Dawkins, Gould, Sam Harris etc.
god (intentional lower case) never made any sense to me...all the retributive justice (like some here have posted on other threads), chosen ones, appropriation of the Mother Cults to create something that on the surface comes across as peaceful and understanding but really is just the opposite and in my opinion can be blamed for the majority of grief over the last two thousand years plus.  Also, why attribute masculine characteristics, European features etc, I guess it makes it easier to force dominance over those who were conquered.
I could go on and on, but as I can't be bothered reading the 130 odd pages of posts, I'll leave it here...:
