Would "War on Terror" be one of them?
My war history teacher said that its declaring war on a tactic, like declaring war on tanks.

The author of that video has a note about the virgin births.
"**** VIRGIN BIRTHS**** There appears to be some disagreement about which of the virgin births I listed are in fact accurate records of religious traditions, especially Krishna, Horus and Mithra. My main source for that list was : "Shaken Creeds: The Virgin Birth Doctrine, a study of its origin" (2003) by Jocelyn Rhys (Kessinger Publishing). Other sources were "God is not Great" (2007) by Christopher Hitchens (Published by Twelve), and Wikipedia. I have rechecked these sources in light of the disputes that have come up. I admit to the error of listing Krishna on the basis of the Rhys book- I misread the passage dealing with Krishna. A genuine mistake... However, Hitchens DOES list Krishna as having been recognised as being born of a virgin. Whilst I admit to the research error on the matter of Krishna and will take greater care next time, I put it to you that it still stands, that by NO MEANS WHATSOEVER was Jesus' birth to the 'virgin' Mary the first ever such miraculous conception ever recorded in a religious tradition. By the time the Jesus story was first written down, the idea of virgin deity-births was OLD, and had been done many, many times, and an omniscient Yahweh would have known this. Even if 50% of my list was put there in error, the point would still stand. *******************"

I saw this on another board I go to, not suprisingly abunch of christians sitting at a computer in an air-conditioned room eating hot pockets denounced a man who spent 30 years in an amazon shithole trying to convert people as never being a true believer. Hehehe ;D

I was in the car with two of my friends and one of us wrote "penis" on the fog on his windshield. So he pulled into some old guy's driveway and got out of the car. The old guy came out of the house and my friend shouted "Don't worry, I'm just wiping penis off my car!" And the old guy went back inside.

Building a computer isn't too difficult. You could probably find an online tutorial. If you build your own, you will save some money, which is always nice My favorite sites for buying stuff online is newegg.com and tigerdirect.com (Newegg has better service, but tigerdirect sometimes has better prices)

Don't forget about making up statistics to fit your views.
Also, when someone provides a link to an article explaining how something in science works, the fundie won't read it.

In church #3-6 were always quoted, along with 10-12. 7-9 I never heard before.

When I was still a Christian I used to think this way about atheists. I thought they were bitter, angry and would probably have the worst deathbed ever. And I used to think they were threatening to religion, but as with most fundies, they won't change their minds anyways.

alcesteIf you want to take a look at the different religions out there, I'd recommend taking a comparative religion class. I took one at my college and I really enjoyed it. I figured I would give all the other religions out there a chance. I was giving Christianity too long a look.
