    I meant that that was my pledge of allience, because I hardly never know what I'm talking about. I didn't mean at all what you thought, I was joking about how lost I am, not you guys... yiiish.
    atheism is after all based on science, science is based on never having an answer to anything.

    Im sorry if I offended you again, I just .... well. You missread me completely.

    I don't know where you went to school, but I always thought science was based on fact!

    You didn't offend me, you weren't even speaking to me. I am only trying to make you see what you are saying. You really don't make since.

    Atheism is not based on science, it's a religion, and is based on theory, that is not science.

    There is plenty of science out there to prove the Bible, people have tried to disprove it many times, by using science, and they have realized they can't.

    If you really do have an OPEN mind, I could point you to some REAL research that has been done. But if your open mind is only open to those who agree with you it wouldn't do you any good anyway.

    Here in the U.S. it's still the law. The pledge of allegiance is recited in every public school every day.

    Private schools as well. At my old school, we had to pledge to the american flag, the christian flag, and the bible.

    Sorry, I'm really confused now. Is the pledge banned in schools or is it not? Or does it depend on the state?

    You're not boring, from what I can tell. Maybe quiet offline, but you have some interesting thoughts in your head.

    I used to be pretty quiet, too. But I got over it. :D I prefer speaking my mind. People don't like it very much, but I really don't care. *L* I don't have much of a filter anymore between my mind and my mouth.

    Hm. I used to be a junior in a US highschool and they didn't say the pledge. There were a lot of prayers though, as it was a private Christian school.

    Ok, now you just decided that I'm bad and evil and horrible.
    atheism is not a religion since it is based on non-believes.

    If I don't make sense, well, I'm not english speaking as first language, and my humour is probably completely different then yours. And thats ok. But seriously, if i'm that totally incomprehensable... I'm baffled.

    Science is based on falsifiable facts. So that last line was what we in sweden call a joke. :p

    How is atheism a religion? :)

    It is if you don't know what you're talking about and, more importantly, attempting to raise the burden of proof for atheism to the level of theism.

    There are different types of science out there. Just off the top of my head, "divination" is considered, "the art of predictive science."

    I think all religions/cults are based on theory. Why not?

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to see that. Please do :)

    Atheism is a belief system that denies the existence of God which cannot be proven, and the very idea must be taken "by faith" in the "belief" that there is no God.

    That makes it a religion!

    Atheism is in and of itself a belief system, not a non-belief.

    I have not decided, nor have I said You are bad, evil, or horrible. IMO - Only Satan and those who have turned their back completely on Love have become truly evil. Deeds may be evil, bad, and horrible, but not people.

    I have not made any judgment as to your self worth, you have done that yourself. I am only trying to make you think about what you say.

    I think you are a beautiful, valuable, confused young lady, who needs to know the wonderful God and creator of the universe who loved her so much He sent His only son to die for her.
