Hey Alfke, <BR> <BR>someone stole your handle and is singing your song over on the Fox Forum.<img src="http://www.atomorrow.net/discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Comment by joeallen  <BR>February 1st, 2009 at 4:23 am  <BR> <BR>&#34;One thing FDR did was require welfare recipients to do was to work for the country. That’s when so much of our infrastructure was built. The problem came when Kennedy abandoned the “work for the dole” policy, and decide to just give money out. This always corrupts people, money given out&#34;.

Maggie, we will see won&#39;t we if it turns into &#34;er, conversation&#34;. You are right to cast doubt on it being a conversation that Meal brings with him or something else.

No, I missed that debate, Meal, but someone gave me Hitchens&#39; book, <i>God is Not Great,</i> which I would retitle, <i>Some of Our Ideas About God Really Suck.</i>

Re: Just Friendly Banter

<i>... Some of Our Ideas About God Really Suck.</i> <BR> <BR>I like your title better!  Wish Hitchens had not called William Miller &#34;George Miller&#34; when discussing 19th century religious lunatics &#40;his term&#41;.  I loaned that book to a christian over a year ago but they have not returned it. <BR> <BR>D&#39;Souza debates from an old earth position.  During the debate he agreed that humans had evolved at least 100,000 years ago.  So Hitchens asked him why the christian god sat around for at least 98,000 years watching humans without lifting a finger but decided 2,000 years ago to intervene and introduce His Son into humanity.  D&#39;Souza didn&#39;t have an answer. <BR> <BR>It would be nice to have the opportunity to go see Dan Barker debate a believer as Barker knows the Bible and christian talking points better &#40;first hand&#41;.
