Men going to a club to look at girls? Inconceivable!

No, he's talking morality, you're talking equivocation.

Most Chinese/asian made components are metric, but these sort of high tech/super high quality American made components are usually only Imperial. "Scientists" can do their maths in whatever units they like, but at some point they have to use components that actually exist. And even many of these metric parts have fun values like "2.54 mm" as standards... A big part of the reason high quality components are Imperial is because that is what all the shop equipment used to make them are designed for, and replacing them all would be impractical since they are very expensive and now too low volume for a re-investment to ever see returns.

Let's be clear on our terminology and our hierarchy of relations. Catholicism isn't "different" from Christianity. Its a subset of the general Christian set of beliefs, and so are the various Protestant denominations. They differ on specific beliefs and interpretations, but there's no one denomination that can be demonstrably proven to be more "Christian" than any other... If ANYTHING, Protestants broke off from the original Catholic church, making it the more fundamental one, but even that's ignoring the changes that the catholic church itself has gone through in its history.

Actually, far more creationists (Who usually don't even think to call themselves that) believe that God set the universe into motion and designed everything by the rules of science to work out in such a way that man would arise. I've never understood why people believe that intelligent design (lower case) and Evolution can't both be true..

That's a common problem with that model, fixable by a firmware upgrade. I had the same problem. Guess that doesn't help you much if you took it back, but still.

Freaked out? Or quietly had his lawyers contest it? Don't exaggerate.

Wow so gang rape is legal now? I was under the impression that it was already a crime.. go figure. Wow, those bastards for not supporting something with an emotionally-charged name.

"The best way to describe him is to call him a very successful television troll. I don't think he really has a position." A: He's been on the radio LONG before TV. Somehow people always overlook this and act like he came into being when he started on Fox News. Not really that important, but still. B: You clearly never actually listen to him. He most certainly has a position that he believes in deeply, and isn't afraid to talk about it.

One example, years ago. Usually taken completely out of context.* That he has apologized for again and again. Everyone says stupid stuff sometimes, get over it. *He was speaking more to the general atmosphere of uncertainty that was prevalent at the time. Did he actually believe Keith Ellison was a terrorist? was he actually suggesting that? NO. He was simply trying to explore the thoughts that lots of people were having in the back of their minds that no one wanted to be politically incorrect enough to voice. All that aside, it was a stupid move and a bad idea, which he admitted before AND after doing it.

IIRC, he didn't quit. His "contract was not renewed."

Source? I don't think GB ever went into the whole birther thing, in fact I recall him saying that it was pointless and irreleveant, or somethign to that effect. Oh, and one persons "facts" are another persons "misinformation". Beck is actually really good about citing facts and sources.

IANAP (I am not a Pope) but I believe that the Church views the human body as a Temple to god, and as such should not be desecrated or abused. Whether this governs his opinion in the matter, I don't know, but the body certainly isn't a "meat machine that holds the soul" to the Catholics.

Further, if God created us in his image, I imagine a certain amount of imitation is inherently expected.

The problem with these counter-arguments is this: Theists aren't TRYING to disprove those things. You are. So yes, we admit we cannot disprove any of things. Accordingly, we don't hate on you or try to debunk it if you chose to believe in them. I actually have a friend who believes in Thor, since you bring it up. I think its silly as heck, but who am I to judge?
