Burn Quran Day
-
You may have heard about it on the news, otherwise go google. IMO this is just provocation. OTOH, a book is just a stack of paper with letters on it - I wouldn't RAGEQUIT* if a group of people decided to burn "On the Origin of Species" or "The God Delusion", I'd simply laugh at their barbaric behaviour and consider them to have lost "whatever it is they were trying win". IOW, it shouldn't have a provoking effect. (do I get points for starting nearly every sentence with an acronym?) * out of life. i.e, become a suicide terrorist. Discuss.
I depends on the person. There are a plenty of people emotionally attached with the religion. Now, if you do something like that, they would either get depressed or will react aggressively. Again, definition of aggression differs from person to person. So, no one can say this is right or wrong. IMO, I would not like this act. Be it Quran or Koran as some of you spell it or any other religious book. I respect religions and anything related to it. Still, I don't think I would take part in any violent reaction to it.

Yes, we know there is no intelligent design. All proponents of ID spout infantile non-scientific rubbish dressed with personal attacks because they cannot beat the science. Biology, Evolution, Physics, Geography, Geology, Cosmology, Vulcanology, Chemistry etc etc etc, all point to a much older universe than the idiotic 6000 years of the fuckwitted twats that believe in it. The very fact we have Uranium on the planet proves this, it's half life is 4.5 Billion years to Thorium, and measure Uranium238/Thorium234 ratios gives the approximate age of the planet. Argue that Mr Thicky!

You are still going on about religious textbooks written by man. You have not proven that there is no intelligent design of the universe.

As an engineer, whoever designed the human body needs to be shot. For the love of crap, if we fall from the standing position we can manage to kill ourselves. Who's idea was that? It's either a remarkable result of generations of weighted chance, or a really crappy design.
As an engineer, I marvel at the complexity of the machine known as a single cell. A single cell is mindbogglingly sophisticated. The body of a large animal is just mindblowing. No man could ever create such a machine. The animal has lived on this planet for over a billion years, and has adapted to its surroundings, managed to power itself, and managed to become self aware and solve the mysteries of the universe.

God without the bible? Interesting concept there - believing in fairies without even needing a book to tell you to do it! :laugh:

Proof rejected. Not a credible source. Try again.

I swear you are retarded. You are blinded by hatred, you have denied yourself ever knowing what spirituality is about.

So people cannot be spiritual without reading a book?

As I said, religion is not about myths are fairytale. It is about spirituality! If you are not spiritually awakened, you are not alive.

So you admit you do not understand spirituality? You can be spritual without being religious.

Religion has nothing to do with spirituality. Religion is about the control of weak minded fools like you.

Er, no. Try again. Life has been on this planet for about 4.5 billion years, but animals are really recent, about 550 million years, go back to pizza college.

So, you cannot be spiritual without belonging to a religion? Any old religion will do?

You know that there is no intelligent design? I doubt you do, in fact I know you don't. You know a bit about the laws of the universe, an infinitesimal fraction of it. I don't think it is even possible for the human mind to understand the universe.

Probably do, you're looking at the biology of it. Me, I'm going down the practical applications. I find it surprising we're still alive. The biology is impressive, almost like everything was jammed together until something worked.

Give it a few years. We've had some surprizing strides in the field which have sent many fundamentalists screaming the other direction.

So the animal did it? That's counter intuitive, you're saying goddidit, then the animal did. Something isn't meshing here.

Maybe the intelligent designer was high on LSD and shrooms. CSS is just trying to be more like his non-existent creator. :)
