In other words purely a tempest in a teapot. I have seen the video, Napolitano gave a completely non committal (politically diplomatic) answer, and the right wing blogsphere goes crazy. Referencing each other over and over again. I'll believe it when I see it.
'It's unclear whyCAIR believes TSA frisking must be Shariah-compliant
What a silly comment. That's like saying "It's unclear why Jehovah's Witnesses would refuse to join the military and go to war". In reality what CAIR did was give instruction to muslims on how to deal with the situation.

Where is the actual confirmation sentence from officials that Muslims are being exempted?

This is untrue.
Additionally, CAIR, the ACLU, and Ron Paul are all on the same side in lodging complaints.

by Yizuman inquote:tsa to traveler: next time, leave your insulin pump at home?.
woman complains about tsa screening at local airport.. wednesday, november 17, 2010. .
as we hear from more outraged air travelers about the humiliating procedures they're being forced to endure to pass through airport security checkpoints, comes this doozy out of fort lauderdale / hollywood international airport.. .

Ok, so you haven't been able to take so much as an ounce of liquid or a pocket knife on a plane for years now, but somehow this woman forgot she has an insulin pump??? Bull.

So you guys are getting all wound up in Galileo, but wasn't the question, whether science and progress were made because of, or in spite of, the church?
As a matter of critical thinking I should admit that I discovered something about myself in this whole ordeal. And this might be to my own detriment but alky makes me more honest (or stupid) so I think it should be said. Once I state an argument for my perspective, I realize that I start searching for additional supporting material. Don't we all?
But isn't there a truth somewhere?

Those last couple of posts didn't add anything to the IQ in the thread. Sorry. I'm just getting excited because I'm approaching the 400 posts milestone. Only two more to go ...
It's ok, your previous posts added whopping loads of IQ. You are currently at a surplus.

This guy responds.
"It creates quite a conundrum to admit that there are thoughtful, honest, decent, intelligent people who find no validity in their Bible God."Curiosis 03/26/2007 02:45 PM
This reminds me of something my wife (who's a Christian) said to me when I told her I was an atheist. She said that highly intelligent people often have trouble believing in god.
I immediately thought of a corollary to her statement. Doctors often have trouble believing in the healing power of blood-letting. There's a reason for this.

I, for one, don't wish to be treated as a god. I would feel guilty if I were knowing that I am not a god.
I would guess that all ex-theists feel duped to a certain extent. Yes, it wasn't really our fault. We were most likely indoctrinated as children. However, we feel duped because we continued to believe something without really considering it. We fooled ourselves into thinking something was true when it was obviously false.
As an atheist, I am much happier now than I ever was as a christian. It is a huge relief no longer to be forced to make all the inconsistencies and absurdities of christianity fit together like a 1,000 piece puzzle with only 500 of the pieces. It is a relief knowing that my life is mine. To succeed or fail on my own. To know that there isn't some invisible being out there just itching to roast me for all eternity for something I might do wrong.DC actually isn't about god. It is about god-believers. If everyone just followed their religion and never tried to impose it on others or use the power of government to endorse their beliefs, this website probably wouldn't exist.I really don't care if you believe there's an invisible pink unicorn in your garage. This belief may be sad, but it doesn't have any effect on me. I might try to talk you out of it, only because I hate to see someone waste their life on foolish beliefs.
You say that you "dont routinely post caricatures of Islam or attack Allah."
True. But I bet your attitude would change if suddenly every piece of money in your pocket had "In Allah We Trust" on it. If passages from the Koran were on courthouse walls where you hoped to get justice.
You say, "The truth is, I would suspect alot of you guys hate the kernel of truth left inside you that's telling you that all's not well.."
What's not well? For me, any remaining kernal of truth about god popped a long time ago.
"...because youve already learned the basic truth that God makes so simple a child can understand it."
Much like Santa Claus. Things that children believe are not good models for adult beliefs. Children are gullible and do not typically see the big picture.
"...but based on soem of the factually incorrect premises which answered a previous post of mine, it seems some of you are grasping to find reasons to disbelieve..."
I would have trouble not finding reasons to disbelieve. Besides, I don't need any reason to disbelieve. I only need a reason to believe, and I don't have one.
"...something I used to do when I wanted to go off and live my way, knowing it wouldnt fly with God."
I'm very sorry that you require an imaginary being in order to behave. I want to live freely, but not if it means harming my fellow human beings. I don't need a sky daddy to tell me right from wrong. I can see that clearly for myself.
