- Isn't that spelled sizzle-ized? Anyway, the majority may not be right,
- but since it has the loudest voice it will usually prevail. Thank God. (-8

- And what do you think makes us so superior to animals? Physiologically we
- are indeed animals... Just because the human brain reached some "critical
- mass" and the race attained sentience doesn't automatically make us very
- heavy on the intelligience scale. Quite the opposite is true, as we are
- the only species that's determined to destroy itself and its environment.
- If there is truly intelligient life "Out There", it ought to be scared
- shitless at the prospect of the human race escaping its "Prison Earth".

- 1. the symbol 0. 2. point marked '0' in a scale. 3. nothing.
- - a. of or at zero.

- Yup, I'm pretty sure it was your picture right next to the definition.

- Yes, you are so important aren't you? NOT!!!
-
- Atheists like you alienate themselves. They willfully declare themselves
- different and demand special consideration. In fact, that's not enough...
- they want to tear down historical monuments, deface currency and force
- private institutions to their will. It is NOT right but history has shown
- that those who are different are ostracized and persecuted; especially
- those who purposely offend the sensibilities of others and antagonize
- by attempting to bring down established customs. They knowingly set
- themselves against convention, then act mystified and indignant as if
- *they* were the ones being sought out.
-
- I am NOT a theist and have NO CHURCH, yet I wouldn't be so intolerant
- and disrespectful of another's sacred beliefs. You presume to foist your
- concept of "seperation of church and state" on everyone because you have
- convinced yourself that only *your* interpretation of the Constitution
- the United States is correct. It's so obvious to you, isn't it? "Knowing"
- you are right, you feel justified in pursuing whatever means necessary
- to stamp out the "evil religion". Sounds like a goddamn crusade to me...
