Big props to KramerDSP for the video:

Ron Paul should just have a full time videographer with an HD camera and experience to follow his campaign around. This is a no brainer people. The entire establishment is against us, the least we can do is have a tripod for a camera!!!

I love you guys. I really do, but the quality of these videos are EMBARRASSING: AND http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid374632111001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAADEw9EQ~,h1MFhv8o 8KH4Pz94oWeQK6-s80p1y6W8&bctid=1102936938001 Not the content, but the quality. This is not a video of a bigfoot...

Pretty interesting...

Wow. That post PERFECTLY sums up my disgust for religion and how it much it lies to people. The religious people told you that you were made of dirt. Science tells you that you were made of star dust. The atoms in your right hand come from a different star than the atoms in your left hand...

Well a quick response and then I really need to run. Again, I cut the founders some slack in their views of god because this was Pre-Darwin, Pre-Hubble telescope, Pre-space travel, Pre-Large Hadron Collider, etc, etc. If we disproved the existence of the christian/muslim/jewish god that would...

I leave the religious folks on this board with this, because the weekend has begun and it's time to get silly. But think about what religions have told you your entire life. Think about how they told you that you were sick, and were commanded to be well by irrationally submitting to an unseen...

Ah, I understand. But the founders used the following words in the second amendment: "the right to bear arms." They didn't say the right to "own a musket" because they know that the definition of arms will change in the future. When it comes to using the phrase "our creator" it might be...

OK, just read your link. Please answer my question first and then we will talk about the "authenticity" of the bible. First some perspective. What are human beings technically made of?

I cut the founding fathers serious slack with their use of the word "creator." Isn't it interesting how they didn't say "Jesus" or "The Christian god" but left it up to interpretation?

I don't believe in an objective authority, ESPECIALLY one that may or may not exist. I try to be moral for it's own sake. Would your morality change if there was no god? I still think that the golden rule applies to a society that believes in god or one that does not believe in god. The...

My moral compass comes from my own view of common sense and my interaction with my fellow human. That is enough for me to NOT steal, cheat, rape, or kill. Isn't that enough?

The golden rule does not come from the bible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Rule#Ancient_Babylon How did all these other societies outside of christianity come to the same conclusion and follow the golden rule?

Are you trying to make me say that morality is meaningless without god?

Again, because according to you, me, and others in a free society, it would be immoral. Edit: *immoral to ignore that rule.
