    lol, so if the headline said "Police: Ohio woman killed over Memorial Day attire " then it would have something to do with it being memorial day???

    Uh, duh...? Isn't that painfully obvious???

    If someone simply got killed on memorial day, and the crime had nothing to do with memorial day, do you really think the headline would read: Police: Ohio woman killed over Memorial Day attire ? Of course not, don't be a silly goose. It would simply say: Police: Ohio woman killed on Memorial Day

    A post bashing all religious people for the madness of one very deranged woman.

    When do these unjustified slams against religion end???

    Maybe she wore crotchless panties so she could steal Easter eggs when no one was looking.

    Yeah, that Albert Einstein was a real moron. So was Isaac Newton, Copernicus, DaVinci, Rembrandt, Descarte, Kepler, Galileo, and Kieerkegaard. They all believed in that "mythical supernatural being" called God, so I guess they must have been totally out of their minds.

    That made me laugh. The article however says it was due to Leg-baring shorts, which the nutcase probably thought was indecent on such a hallowed day. All religion can't be held accountable for the actions of a few, but this was about religion. I only responded because I couldn't believe people were actually denying this fact. Insecure much?

    Perhaps it was seen as rude to show up so casually dressed for a formal dinner.

    Then the artical would have read: Police: Ohio woman killed over dinner attire

    Perhaps denial is a powerful thing.

    If the woman has killed somebody for committing adultery, would it be because of religion? After all, the 10 Commandments say not to commit adultery.

    It's all relative.

    People evolved over eons from much more simple-minded creatures, and were quite moronic throughout history. By today's standards, there were no "Great thinkers" until quite recently.

    "Great thinkers" have always been graded on a scale, compared to their peers of that period in time. This has resulted in credit being given perhaps where none is due.

    Newton was lauded for noting shit falls down. Society was so retarded back then that this was something nobody had noticed before. "Wow" they said, "he must be a friggin' genius!"

    Most "Great thinkers" firmly believed the world was flat. Most believed in witches and warlocks. They believed certain races were inferior and that the weather would improve if they murdered young virgins to appease their gods....

    Today's average 3rd grader would be heralded as a genius were he/she to go back in time a mere 100 years.

    Newton invented calculus.

    This is classic. Somebody (you Maris) that wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of solving a differential equation (or even knowing what it is) claiming that what Newton did wasn't impressive.


    PS: That's calculus, since I'm sure you don't know.

    They weren't all that bright compared to anyone alive today obviously, and had no grasp at all on the facets of simple logic.

    Just because someone is creative and inquisitive doesn't mean they are grounded in reality. Usually the opposite is true. It takes a certain kind of tunnel-vision to really excel at something, sometimes preventing you from seeing the obvious.

    You're talking for the most part about people who shit on the ground out behind the house because something as simple as indoor plumbing had not occurred to them yet. :biglaugh:

    LOL... That's much more of a stretch and has no bearing on this Easter story. I don't feel like I'm having to read too far between the lines to come to the conclusion that I think this woman's distorted view of religion was her motivation, but if that somehow offends you, I apologize. It wasn't meant to. It's not like I think all religious people are like this, or even 1%.

    Gregor Mendel founded the study of genetics. He was a monk.

    So did Gottfried Leibniz.

    If you have a point, it escapes me. :dunno:
