    Slight mix up, there are five senses according to CSS. Aristotle was also incorrect in thinking there were four elements (Earth, Wind, Fire and Water).

    Nope, he's not mixed up. Captain Planet was a horrible kiddie cartoon, where (And I'm ashamed to know this stuff), the five kids on the team, whatever they were called, had these rings that each represented and controlled one of the "five elements", in their messed-up logic... Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and "Heart"... Like I said, horrible cartoon.

        That being said, depending on your translation, there was a chinese belief in the elements being air, water, fire, wood and gold/metal.

              How do you even know this? Oh did you notice how they have a team member from "everywhere", except Europe? Nice job, USians. And no, Russia does not count as Europe. .. yes I looked it up on wikipedia and I think I'm going to puke.

Britain had flushing toilets about 5000 years ago, and the Egyptians knew about food hygeine and were sailing to South America (although it was possibly the Phoenicians) so they knew the Earth was round and how big it was. All this predates the bible.

                Is that possible? I always beleived that was what slaves were for. BTW, you know we can enslave the Welsh, Scotish AND French? Just check good old Leviticus [Chapter 25, verse 44]

                  In this day and age, I agree, an unfair comparison. However this sort of language, in the thirteenth century, could well have been considered as 'hate speech': Starting with sura 9:73 "Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." ...or you may prefer sura 9:123 "Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that god is with the righteous." ...or blunt and to the point, sura 2:190 "Slay them wherever you find them." There are several hundred others, equally questionable with regard to moral intent. Of course, if you were to read Deuteronomy or Leviticus, you will find some truly appalling stuff.

                  Don't diss Levi! He's the drunken uncle of the bible. Thank's to him, [as long as your a good Christian] you can own slaves - both male and female - as long as their from the next country; I'm thinking of getting a couple of scots myself.

                              Yep, that looks like hate speech... Unless, like me, you consider all of those religious texts to be works of fiction, not instructions to be followed.

                              I am afraid that my view of all these texts is far, far less charitable than yours. However, burning a book will not remove the meme from a person's mind. Only education will do that, and my observation is that religious communities seem remarkably reluctant to provide a broad education, particularly in scientific subjects.

                                Progress? They don't tolerate anything but islam. You are not to be tolerated by islam or those who which to defend this country from islam. You are worse than pond scum. Burn the filthy trash books, spit on them, shit on them. and if any islamisist come by to kill some infidels, shoot them.

                                You don't seem to get it, Muslim hardliners would probably love to have me, the atheist, shot. Am I running around screaming how evil they are? Nope, because I'm a far better person than they, or you, are. I can live quite happily over here, and unless they decide to actively screw with me I don't particularly care what they're jumping up and down about. Burn a flag, what do I care? Start telling people they should be run out of their own country because they disagree with you? Then I start taking pot shots at idiots to remind people that they're still idiots. If they start to actually succeed I will actually do something about it it, I do have a decent sized soap box I can rant off of, or I can give it to someone far more eloquent than myself with my full backing. If someone comes around to kill me, they best hope they get it right real quick. Because the last few idiots who decided to rough me up received extremely unpleasant surprises, and that's a few classes under 'kill the heretic' responses. But you know what? The Muslims I've known haven't killed anyone, the ones I've talked to have felt completely powerless to stop the idiots who say they're going to kill us all. And you know what? They're pretty much right, we've fed a machine to produce insurgents to oppose our enemies, and then we ditched them. The moderate Muslim has absolutely nothing to do with this scenario, neither do a lot of the innocent people we've bombed along the way already. But that's not gonna stop you and your hateful little mind is it?

                                  If you don't stand up for yourself against these terrorist, then you are going to lose. But you wont stand up for yourself because its "hateful". You speak out hatefully against all religions except for islam because you are scared shitless.

                                    I'll stand up against a terrorist as soon as they actually do something, I'm not going to react out of fear as they want me to, I will act against their actions as they take them. Anything less and they win, either their methods succeed or they wind up with more recruits for their next attempt due to our heavy handed actions. You may not understand that, as it takes a spine.

                                    Show me were exactly. I speak out against idiots, religion is just their most common shield against reality. Though I've seen some doozies who used other social constructs.
