| Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums! Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register. Join our Community Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system. I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way. Getting Started If you're already a member please log in to your account to access all of our features. |

Have a read and tell me what you think? I'm interested on what opposing viewpoints would be. http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/Dawkins/v...f-the-mind.html |

If religion is like a virus that is implanted into people at a young age then surely the ideals of freedom, justice and democracy are too. |

Yes, I did, did you expect me to like it? I read it with an open mind and applied it to real-life situations and found it to be bogus. |

He differentiates between good code and bad. Take his view on whether Science is a virus
I believe what he is saying (major liberty taken here:D ) is that religion is like a virus because it existence is only to self propagate. It has no logic or, in any way, testable evidence to prove Gods existence is real. Democracy, Freedom & Justice are like the Programme that the virus infects and uses to propagate. I find this a fascinating analogy and , while not saying I agree with the full concept, do find the reasoning warrents some teasing out in a mature and balanced way. |

Excuse me but, does not Science do the same? What is so logical about Science? Stars are formed through blah blah blah...mmk..where's the proof in that? Where is the testable evidence that the universe was created by the "big bang", that evolution happens through natural selection, or that animals have the ability to "think"? Where is the proof for such thoughts? Can we "test" these theories? Logic is what the majority believes it to be. |

Since these people are totally incompetent in responding to you, I'll just play devil's advocate since many people on this forum want me to go to Hell anyway for being a skeptic. I'll reiterate that this article doesn't adress how culture and religion is disseminated from the elite to the vernacular levels. That's all I have time to type. |

He studies politics, not genetics. Besides, he's not a Christian, he's been taken in by the athiest's lies. Granted the guy that writes those is a bit of a nutter when it comes to some things (eg. not recognising Catholics as Christians), but he has the right idea on such issues as creation and abortion. |

Anyway, where's your argument against this then L+H. How do you defend lies in the face of such evidence and criticism. |

This sounds more like the Creationists people then people of Evolution. The be clearer I mean it seems Creationsists sound like the professor except they are using creationist redderick. |
