But hey, maybe it's a good thing in the states, I can see that people in the bible belt might get prejudice for not being a crisschun and maybe even sacked from work. Atheism, or at least not having an opinion, is pretty much the default mode over here. There are more official Jedi Knights than active church goers these days.

I see no evidence so I conclude it's a null hypothesis. /This isn't a scientific laboratory, it's a discussion, so just for the record, all we need is just one extraordinary claim by a single eye witness, in order to pursue the argument that human levitation is possible. Unless you address that claim, you are just being dishonest. It has already been established by the other atheist, Barry, that yogic flying is not only possible, but that all the siddhis mentioned by Patanjali have been performed and witnessed by hundreds of students of The Zen Master Rama. Which I assume includes not only becoming as light as cotton fiber, so as to allow the body to slowly lift up off of a sofa, but also the ability to walk through walls and become invisible at will and to walk on water./ /Obviously, if you use logic to pose an argument, you must admit that only God could levitate for real. By definition, God is all powerful and able to leap tall buildings. Not for nothing does Barry refer to his teacher as The Last Incarnation of Vishnu./ /You have the right to remain silent on this, but you will be reminded of your cognitive dissonance if this condition persists in these spiritual discussions./ Unless the crisschuns are going to be forming a posse to root out the unbelievers. /Character assassination is a deliberate and sustained process that aims to destroy the credibility and reputation of a person, institution, social group, or religion.nation. // // //http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_assassination/ Wouldn't be the first time http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/03/atheist-religion-oregon-court_n_6095776.html

I'm trying to reach him, honest! It's because he posts things from proper scientists occasionally. There must be a logical key that will separate the two disparate paths of his mind. No harm in trying
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Rights Granted to Atheists
Barry, It appears that you don't know what your beliefs are. You yourself stated that you are a non-theist and not an atheist. Apparently, you are now an atheist, as well, depending on the situation. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote : From: salyavin808 no_re...@yahoogroups.com ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote : Salyavin, According to the US federal court, whether you like it or not, atheists are now considered to have a faith in no god.
