Falcon I’m not him, but I will let him know you said that. 
There is only ONE WAY! (John 14:6)
Thank you kindly, nav. I’d tell him myself, but that’s kind of impossible right now.
Falcon,
I like the Dead Milkmen reference! I don’t know if anyone else caught it but there are so few people with the ability to drag a cool Milkmen quote out of the wind that I wanted to thank you!
I open my mouth and the whole world turns smart
Amen, Falcon.
Ya know…when I first went over there, I didn’t expect to meet a single person that I could actually respect. The real Navigator, and a tiny handful others, proved me wrong.

GUYS!!!
that was ME
quote:
“I believe it is easy to loose sight of the fact the the Lord has created athiests for a reason…to test our faith. They tempt us with reason and facts… Embrase agnostics!! I would cry it from every rooftop: ‘Embrase an agnostic!’” --“Bell”, on the LBMB
I never got a chance to go back…but hey, that was me. I even got a reply from Stan A.
This is the <real> Navigator…
You can call me Jon or Gator, doesn’t matter… I can tell you the story if you like…
Thanks for the compliments. David and RTF(it’ll be hard not to call you nightmare.)
Peace.

Peace.

Y’all don’t need to visit, I can tell you why I’m here:
-
To tell people in my office that their shoes should always be a shade or two darker than their dresses and pearls should always be worn in uneven-numbered strands
-
To rag the hell out of Ukelele Ike
-
To write brilliant books that will be appreciated after I’m dead—see if they won’t!
-
To write sarcastic Movieline columns
-
to tape movies off of TCM for my friends
-
Umm . . . Oh, crud; I’ve run out of reasons already. Can anyone help me here?
You know, the quotes that have been reproduced about how the LBBBrs (gee, that looks kind of like “libbers,” as in womens’ libbers…anyway)are praying for their administrator and praying that their board stays up, blah, blah, blah remind me of pro athletes who thank God when they win, as if He has nothing better to do ON SUNDAY than watch a bunch of guys bash each other all over a football field. By that logic, the Green Bay Packers and that bastion of Christianity, Reggie White, never should have lost a game. Try praying for something worthwhile, like a cure for cancer or an end to poverty or, God forbid, for more tolerance and compassion in this stupid world. OK, flame away for MY lack of tolerance …
actually… we perfer the term Pounder (LBers get it??) plus it kinda goes with the whole Bible-thumping thing…
I usually submit my requests to God and ask for His will be done. That usually works…
Peace.

Nav! Welcome to the board! And you’re welcome for the comments. As people here will tell ya, I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it.
Hope you enjoy, sir. MikeM and I are thinking of starting up that church & state discussion again - join in if you care to!

Hiya Jon! So THAT’S where “Pound Puppy” comes from! I was wondering…
Pounders and Dopers…Imagine!
-David
“And the Pounders shall lay down with the Dopers…”
Hey, anything to get more apocalyptic signs out there.
Anyways, to Navigator, Vic Rose, Rabbi Sam, and anyone else who comes here in search of debate, discussion, and freedom of speech interspersed with snarky comments, a warm welcome from someone who may not have a lot to say, but always has an open ear.
To Godly Guy, Archangel, and anyone else whose purpose in coming here is to spread the Word by portaying yourselves as pompous, self-righteous asses unwilling to listen to a counter-point, form a coherent argument, or accept that there might be points of view other than your own and that people might (gasp) respect each other’s opinions even if they disagree, I offer you every form of invective ever hurled within the Pit.

I posted a couple of responses to that thread, under the username JoshuaTenForty before us Dopers’ accounts were all shut down. I was the only person posting to that thread who thought that space aliens didn’t exist.
The truth, as always, is more complicated than that.
That’s an interesting point, Tracer. There’s an article in the current issue of Skeptical Inquirer which contends there is a strong correlation between beliefs in pseudoscience and religious faith.
The author was attempting to disprove the assumption that faith generally precludes belief in ETV’s and psychics and whatnot. I don’t remember whose studies he was trying to disprove, but he took a survey of college students and found a significant relationship between these types of beliefs.
The article isn’t available on-line yet at www.csicop.org or I would have posted a link.

Dammit.
That should read, ‘significant positive relationship between these types of beliefs.’
