Does the following quote sound familiar? It's from a speech by Michael
Crichton.
I will restore the quote and URL which Jan snipped (without mentioning
it, need I say?)
You can read the whole thing at
http://www.crichton-official.com/speeches/speeches_quote05.html
"Most of us have had some experience interacting with religious
fundamentalists, and we understand that one of the problems with
fundamentalists is that they have no perspective on themselves. They
never recognize that their way of thinking is just one of many other
possible ways of thinking, which may be equally useful or good. On the
contrary, they believe their way is the right way, everyone else is
wrong; they are in the business of salvation, and they want to help
you to see things the right way. They want to help you be saved. They
are totally rigid and totally uninterested in opposing points of view.
In our modern complex world, fundamentalism is dangerous because of
its rigidity and its imperviousness to other ideas".
Quoted message said:Yes, it sounds familiar, It is repeated by atheists.
Crichton only said it in September and I haven't been following who
repeated it, so I don't know if Jan is correct or not in her assertion
about the actions of atheists.
I see you are lying again, as the atheists here have said the same things.
Along with the other debunkers, and those of pugnacious tendencies.
Quoted message said:The passage itself says nothing about
whether there is a god or not, so it has nothing to do with atheism
Wrong. It is exact atheist mumbo jumbo. They don't just talk about there being
no God, they have a need to belittle others.
They call those who try to obey God, *rigid*
They don't want to have to follow any rules as they think they are
*enlightened* and *they* are smarter than God. Therefore they falsely believe
*they* can make the rules.

know
Quoted message said:it.
Quoted message said:
I posted it because I think that it describes AltThink. Crichton was
talking about environmentalists. There is no need to rake over my lack
of lying again.
You have no lack of lying and we all know EXACTLY why you posted it. Your title
is a dead give away and right now you just lied through you teeth again.
Quoted message said:Jan may be prejudiced against anything that Michael Crichton says
simply because his best known works are Jurassic Park and the TV
series ER
LOL.. I don't watch ER and I have never heard of Michael Crichton.
You *guesses* are wrong, as usual.

Best to deal with it rather than blame those who destest lying.
Years ago, they crucified a man who told it like it was, he just happened to
be
Quoted message said:God's son.
Quoted message said:He was Jewish, too, I'm told.
That's correct. Why mention it?
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Telling it like it is, is still being rejected.
Quoted message said:Yes, we see it every time some truth is presented to you.
Quite the opposite. You lie, I call your hand.
I ask you to prove you lies, you can't.
