Subject: What *REALLY* Worries The Atheists...


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

FOR OVER HALF a century, hard-line Anti-Christian Atheists
have strictly enforced their monopoly over America's public
schools, courtrooms, and all public places in all 50 States.

Like Ann Coulter has recently reiterated, they've used their
public schools as their State Churches, and their Atheistic
Liberal public school teachers as their State Clergy, and
they've used their public school textbooks as their State
Bibles, all to indrinate America's children into their
rabidly intolerant & bigoted State Religion of hard-line,
left-wing, Anti-American, Anti-Christian Liberal Atheism.
And Yes, over the decades this has gotten worse and worse,
and America has suffered the baneful consequences thereof...

But since our Republican-dominated U.S. Supreme Court shall
soon overturn every left-wing Liberal Atheist decision ever
to be handed down from the formerly Liberal-controlled U.S.
Supreme Court, the Liberal Atheists are beginning to see the
long-overdue end to their draconian brainwashing of America's
children. In other words, the dark days of the Liberal-Atheist
monopoly is about to reach its bitter--and most welcome--end...

And what *REALLY* scares the Hell out of the Liberal Atheists,
is the imminent superimposition of the non-Atheistic theory of
'Intelligent Design', or ID, right over the top of the Liberal-
Atheist orthodox theory of 'Evolution'--the gospel 'According
to Charles Darwin'. And as with any theory, Intelligent Design
shall forever evolve and expand, being tested and refined over
time. It will expand to include all branches of Science, which
itself will be forever evolving and expanding--*all* under the
rubric umbrella of Intelligent Design, which will open the door
to eventual inclusion and integration in ALL branches of Science.

You see, that'll force these cowardly Atheists to seek refuge
in their foxholes, rather than tolerate non-Atheist theories,
views, observations, experiments, developments, implementation,
opinions, commentaries, textbooks, teachings etc. ad infinitum,
from inclusion in every public school in all 50 States bar none.

Thus those Atheists who refuse to get with the Program will soon
find themselves out of a job. They'll either tolerate our theory
of ID to be taught alongside their (flimsy) theory of Evolution,
or they'll be *unemployable* in our Republican-dominated public
schools, courtrooms, etc. That makes us non-Atheists very happy!
^^^^
We IDers invite the Atheists to continue to teach their theory
of Evolution in our puclic schools and universities, which will
eventually include the theory of ID in every textbook, classroom
and courtroom in the country bar none. Evolution is a theory that
many people believe, and so should be included in our curriculum.

You see, *unlike* the Atheists, we non-Atheists believe in law-
abiding freedom of speech and law-abiding freedom of religion,
even tolerating the oppressive religion of Liberal Atheism, i.e.
as long as its followers aren't seriously violating any laws of
the land. And that's what separates the Atheists from everybody
else, since Atheists are intolerant and bigoted against all other
religious beliefs, most especially against Biblically-supported
Judeo-Xian beliefs! Liberal Atheists *HATE* Judeo-Xians most of
all. Of course, the Liberal Atheists will deny this, but we know
it is factual by the public record which proves beyond refutation
that the Liberal Atheists have *consistently* opposed, oppressed
and banned all non-Atheist theories, views, beliefs, etc. from
being taught in America's public schools, i.e. ever since 1947.

And that's fine. They'll each reap their just reward, especially
once they pass through Plovton-Hades' one-way door. But once our
theory of ID gets imposed by federal law into America's schools,
and courtrooms, and universities etc., that's when many of the
die-hard Liberal Atheists will commence to leaping like demon-
possessed lemmings off the Whites Cliffs of Dover, because they
have never been forcibly challenged (at gunpoint, if necessary)
to defend their beliefs, opinions, theories, etc. in the public
classrooms, or in their textbooks. That's about to change...and
that's what scares the *HELL* out of the Liberal Atheists! :-D

Thanks for the message and I totally agree. What is more amazing is that
some of the more intelligent SAA members that consistently make significant
contributions to this forum seem to lack the intellectual discipline to
refrain from responding to the garbage. I guess it shows that IQ and common
sense are not necessarily related.

The full moon is always comming 'soon'. It's always less than a month away.

Mr. Min,

I''m old enough to remember when the passage "under God" was inserted
in the pledge of allegance. I was quite young at the time, but deeply
resented this instrusion by religous zealots into what was a purely
patriotic gesture of national loyalty. I then did, and still today,
consider this to have been done in extremely poor judgement, and I am a
Christian.

I would very much like to see the pledge of allegance restored to its
history text.

Now with respect to Ann Coulter, I am very much a respector of her
right wing political viewpoint, but when she begins to comment about
Darwin from a very ignorant perspective, I would suggest that in this
area she is operation far outide of here area of expertise, and likely
should have taken more science courses as part of her education.

Perpaps the element of Darwin that both you and Ann have evidently
missed, is that it focuses on the concept of 'Natural Selection. We
now are well aware of the many causes of genetic mutation (while
perhaps not all of them). As most people understand these can arise
from localized chemical effects, radiation, and potentially many other
causes. I'm sure that both you and Ann are familiar with 2 headed frog,
6 toed cats, and babies formed with such gross genetic deformities that
they were unable to live, or lived as cripples for at least a shot
time. Tragic, right, but do you seriously believe that this was God's
will, or the result of accidental things that came as a natural
consequence of the worlds that He created, which includes both
chemicals, radioactivity, cosmic rays, and carcinogens. These were the
God the Creator's tools, simply as Henry Ford employed machine tools to
build the cars that he created. It is not clear to me why so many of
you creationists zealots don't recognize this important point, as make
the blasphemous assumption that God the Almighty was so incredibly
stupid that he didn't employ the many tools (which He Himself created
to accomplishish his works). Dhuh!

Now getting back to Darwin, who had no knowledge of RDNA, the
double-helix or anything that came even close. Darwin simply observed
an document the Principle of Natural Selection, which in simplified
terms means that the success of a random mutation is likely to survice
and multiply itself only if it lives long enough to achieve
respoductive maturity. Darwin never stated that this was the source of
life, only that the higher orders of life on the planet had evolved to
the status which they now occupt due to that combination of genetic
mutation and Natural Selection. Actulally, there is no reason to
believe that Darwin even was aware the random mutations that take place
in nature, and focused himself on the concept of Natural Selection.

Possibly much of this is going over your head, but that's as simplified
as I can make of Darwin's discovery. Note that I don't refer to it as
a theory, but as a discovery, simply because that's what it was.
Darwin, like Einstein, observed thing that man had always oberved but
looked at them from a very different perspective. Darwin gave to
mankind Natural Selection of random mutations, while Einstein gave to
us the Theory of Relativity (which is no longer a theory), a proven
explanation for the Photo-Electric Effect, and the relationship between
mass and energy later demonstrated by the experiments of Hann and
Strassman, and later the atomic bomb.

Min, if you prefer to dwell in darkness and superstitious beliefs
that's your personal option. I prefer to exercise the intellectual gift
that God the Creator gave to me, and as a Chistian to fully exploit His
manifold gifts of intelligence and scientific curiousity to better
understand the clues that he provided us with of the world in which we
exist.

Finally, I could never figure out guys like you. Why waste your life in
ignorance when there are so many mysteries out there waiting to be
discovered and explained?

Dear hhc314, You are wong on one point, the 6 (or more) toed cat is a
natural mution of a gene. I am a cat breeder and whole my breed of cat is
not known to carry that gene, if I was to cross breed with a cat that has
the gene, my line would then carry it. But that would be against the
breeders code for Japanese Bobtail breeders and I happen to be the oldest
active JBT breeder in the USA. As it is, I have a stray rescurded female cat
that I saved and she is a polodacyal cat having 6 toes on her front paws/
BTW, there is a 2nd side to that same gene, as on that side, the cat can
only have a split set of two claws, which thankfully is not seen at all. But
this gene is a natural gene as they have found cats mummafied that had the 6
toes and there's more fussial remains that show it too. It is not seen in
the big cats very offen, but has be found on some of the big wild cats in
ages past.
The kinked tail factor of the JBT breed is a natural gene too. So don't
talk about something you know nothing about, as that puts you into the very
same boat you put those others in.

Akumaizer Cattery JBT's since 1974.

Dennis-

What's the difference between a "natural mutation" and a mutation
induced by one of the things Harry mentioned? Yes, many cats carry a
gene for polydactyly; the original mutation may well have been caused by
radiation, a chemical, or something else. The gene persists because it
doesn't carry with it a significant penalty (although there is some
penalty, as evidenced by your breeding rules for the JBT).

Outside of a few lab experiments, in cats, all genetic modifications
have been natural (and originally accidental). Some have persisted
because they are beneficial or harmless, and others (even bad ones) have
persisted because of unnatural selection by breeders.

I don't think there was anything inaccurate in Harry's comments about
Darwinism.

As it is classed as a mutation of a normal gene, and because it's been found
in cat bones that date into and past the last ice age, if it was caused by
something like radation, it had to be like comic as it was around long
before humans enetered the 20th century and got atomic factors online. Also,
most mutations go only ONE way, the polydactyly gene has two ways to go, it
can bring the extra toes (I've seen one that had a whole secong claw on each
foot totaly useable), and the 2nd way it'll cause a cleft foot, having just
two toes forming what looks like some kind of bird of pray claw and the two
cases of that I've head of the cat did not live very long.

As for the breeding rules of the JBT breeders, the JBT came from Japan, we
have records of it as old as 1,000AD and being that for a long time it was
only raised by the Lords over there, they used a Breeding program to control
the colors they got, and unlike some of the other cat breeds in the show
rings that got started with two breeds to make one new breed, we have
agreeded that we will NOT cross the JBT with any other breed so that we can
have pure JBT lines and have nothing else showing up. There's been no sign
of the polydactyl gene either, but there are many genes we are working with,
it was a matting of TWO Akumaizer JBT's that came up with the first longhair
JBT's and now they are showable too. With JBT's coming from the far northen
island of Hakaidio(sp?) they carry the longhair gene.

My line of JBT's have gone to many places overseas and way down south too, I
found about two months ago a JBT breeder in Russia and they have my JBT
lines in their cats backgrounds. It's can also be noted that the factor of
genes that show up as kinked tails ONLY comes the area of
Japan,Thailand,China, etc. that it never showed up in the Europian breeds
until one major breed of cat (Pointed ones) where crossed with other breeds
in the early 1800's, that when the kicked tails factor showed up in those
eur. breeds.

I've spent many long hours reading about the history of cats worldwide and
what some of them carry or don't carry. I've not been to a show in a long
time, but when ever I can get my cars windshield fixed and I can find a cat
show within 100 miles of me, I'll be back in the show rings with my JBT's.
At one time in the 80's there never was a show held in S.Calif that I
didn't show up in with my JBT's, and that included
CFA,TICA,UCF,ACA,ACC,ACFA, some of which have died away.

When you see polydactyly or syndactyly in cats, it is very unlikely that
any mutation is involved. There are a number of genes in cats, both
dominant and recessive, that can produce these conditions. These variant
genes (which as "normal" and "natural" as any other) were the product of
mutations millennia ago. All genes are the product of mutation at some
point. These mutations are caused by errors during gene assembly, or by
genetic damage from chemicals, radiation, or other external sources.
Chemicals and radiation capable of producing genetic damage are far more
likely to be natural than they are to be man-made. It was a ancient
mutation that created the bobtail gene, too.

For the most part, polydactyly in cats is considered survival neutral,
which explains why these genes have survived so long. Once man got
involved, the selection pressures changed. For instance, polydactyl cats
have been historically considered good luck by sailors, so they were
selectively bred. As a result, they are common in many coastal areas
with a history of sailing. In this case, the trait has positive survival
value. In other cases- such as your own- it has negative survival value.
If JBT breeders avoid breeding polydactyl cats, and cull or neuter those
that are produced, the gene may die out. Those are examples of
artificial selection, as opposed to natural selection. The driving
forces are different, but the results are the same.

There is ZERO record of the polydactyly effect showing up in the aisa cats,
not until they where cross bred with europian cats here in the usa. Just as
the kinked tail had never been seen in eurpian cats until they where mixed
with cats from aisa. And if you where to look at xrays of both aisa cats
and eupian cats you would note that they have followed two ways of
formation. The cats from England,Gemany,etc. ALL have a stocky bone set,
while the ones from aisa show a leaner bone build set. And as the JBT has
been recorded in Japan for ages, even before man started breeding them for
the colors, it's a natural japanese cat, no one knows how the first cats got
to japan, as there's no geo record of dry land between it and the mainland,
the fist cats could have come with the early mankind that got there. But
being an aisa beed it does not carry the polydactyly gene. people have since
the JBT started showing up in the cat show rights have offen mistaken them
for the Mainx cat, but other than being a cat, they are totaly unlike each
other. And the Manx gene can be the fault of dead kittens too. Not so with
the Bobtail gene, which many other asia cats can and offen do carry too.

And don't even start with the color genes, that's another whole ballgame
with the male cat only able to carry one color, red and no other colors.

Yet, the JBT dose not carry the pointed gens set at all either.

If you postulate that everything is a mental concept then the above

turned on by its shape alone and not by the "real" material it is made

Any astrologer can tell you there is a full moon every month. It is the
Will of God.

By the way, the moon was supposed to be at a maximum distance of about
285,000 Km away from Earth, which is the minimum distance for orbital
stability (sphere of influence) but it is at about 385,000 Km. Thus,
the Sun-Earth-Moon system is fairly unstable and can result in an
eventual departure of the moon from earth's orbit.

No more full moons. I can't wait to see the romantic kind looking for
the alternative.

That's not entirely true. The full moon appears once every 29.53 days.
Sometimes there are two full moons in one month. It is possible to have a
month without a full moon, but this is rare and can only occur in February.
You have to wait until February 2066 for the next month without a full moon.

Actually, my calculations were a bit wrong. Feb 1999 and Feb 2037 have no
full moons.

Astrology does not care how the effect occurs, only about the
consequences. It's like physics that does not care what the world is
made of but only how to model the phenomena.

Still, every president of yours or prime minister (doesn't matter where
you live) took astrologer's opinion very seriously. Never asked for
yours.

No but they wanted my vote and there have been ones that did NOT ask for any
astrologer's opinion because they already knew that crap is worthless.

And there is ZERO EFFECT OF ANY KIND from the stars and planets.

Now you can join Dim the Min and others like him down in the Cuber Black

want to consider myself atheist, I try to keep an open mind, but to
tell the truth I aint buying in to any of the horsecrap out there that
passes for religion, thanks. No amount of rantings from an obviously

I agree, but any response to Min (and the other kooks), however logically
presented, will not change their mind. Instead, it verifies to them that an
audience is present that is reading their garbage. Any attention is good
attention.

Eric,
Plus, ignoring Danny has no effect on his bullshit output. The guy is
totally insane, and doesn't react like a sane person would. As a matter of
fact, he is incapable of even recognizing that he is totally insane - it's
part of his mental illness. I don't think he really even cares if anyone
responds to his delusional bullshit. The best that we can hope for is that
he gets run over by a bus. A very large, fast-moving bus. Or that he is
finally, and permanently institutionalized.

Please do so, really.
We of the rest of the world are impatiently waiting for your
country's technological and (following that) economical power
to equalize with your medieval world view and ethics in order
to limit the damage you do to the world to a level manageable
by us.

Go on, ban science teaching, tell them climatic disasters
come from too many gays, antibiotic resistance has nothing
to do with evolution and that people should be praying instead
of thinking.

Sgr A*, can we do anything to help you achieve this goal?

Btw, are there any progressive thinking people not feeling
liked in the US anymore?
Why don't you leave? If you want leisure to research, come
to europe, if you want to work really hard and live where
the future is made, go to china. You're welcome everywhere,
that is, apart from your home country obviously.

I agree, this is true in all occupations though, most notably with
physicists and economists, the maority are worthless. Educational
system plays with large numbers. The system graduates many with the
hope someone will end up making the breakthrough.

I have met good astrologers who are able to decipher the conficting
signals. A week before 9/11, I was talking to a famous astrologer in my
town and he told me that the Pluto-Saturn opposition that was initiated
that time was a signal for a new world war and order. I almost laughed
but when he explained to me that just before WWII started the same
opposition took place I started thinking seriously about the
differences between good and bad astrologers. He is a good one.

In a Parmenidean block universe predicting the future is possible.
Astrologers try and some of them turn out to be good.

Not only are astrologers worthless, but so is the whole stinking cap filled
area of they are in. The planets and stars have a grand total of ZERO effect
on what happens in your life and those that belive in that crap need to "Get
a Life" because they sure in hell don't have one.

That I need not to worry about, as I don't go to bars for any reason, the
only bars I see are those that the store scans when I go shopping at the

I generally don't post to these type topics, but I thought I will for
this.

1. Mike, you're a moron.
2. Astrologers are even bigger morons.
3. See #1
4. There is NOT a full moon every month. Some months will have 2 and
some Februarys will have 0. Look at any lunar calendar. It is NOT the
will of god. Its happenstance.
5. See #1 and #3
6. The moon WILL eventually leave its orbit with the earth. But not
for many many millions of years. Well after we're all gone.
7. See #1, #3, #5.

Clear skies,
-Dragan
