Any questions?

Three:

1.) What leads you to believe that the overwhelming majority of the scientific community is either incorrect or dishonest in their assessments of global warming?

2.) Why do you capitalize the "a" in atheist?

3.) Welcome to our forums, hope you stay awhile!

(OK, that last one wasn't a question.)

1. Note I said "man" made global warming. I'll provide more info on that if you'd like.

2. I capitalize Atheist because the Christians capitalize God.

3. Thanks!

I can't help but notice the selfishness in marrying someone who wouldn't like you if they knew who you really were. What's your take on that Lib1? No offense or anything.

Hmm, if I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying that I'm selfish.(No offense taken btw) I wouldn't necessarily agree with that, but lets not just limit it to me. Let's broaden the scope and say that all Christians are selfish. Here's my argument:

Let's suppose I'm a Christian and I pray to god asking for his forgiveness and for all of my family to be healthy and happy. Does this sound like a typical prayer? Well if we are to look at the context of the prayer, it is selfish in two aspects.

1. By asking his forgiveness I'm hoping that I'll get into heaven. Sounds like selfishness to me.
2. By praying to god, I'm being selfish thinking that he would listen to me. I'm an insignificant spec in the Universe that lasts about as long as elephant fart in the savannah compared to the great scale of time to an entity with the supposed qualities ascribed to him by the buybull.

So in this aspect I would say that any Christian could be considered selfish. However let's get back to me.

When I was dating my wife, she never asked me my religious preference. She did ask me if I believed in god and I said "I don't know if he exists". I told her I thought the buybull was a bunch of codswallop and she agreed. I also told her that I thought organized religion was a scam and that was pretty much the end of the discussion. I never went to church with her while we were dating, so I know she didn't get the false impression there.

Can it be said I was dishonest with her? Possibly, but then again I'm an Atheist and I think everyone has the right to choose their own path. Do you walk up to people saying “High I’m an Atheist(or Christian), what are you?” If you marry someone, do you really know everything about them? And if you did know everything about them, if they changed at all would you divorce them? (I guess this could explain why so many people get divorce in the U.S.)

So in this aspect I wouldn't think I'm selfish.

Let's not forget that marriage is a selfish act!

The sad truth is that there are many people who would otherwise be completely compatible with each other, but when religion rears its ugly head, it causes many of these couples to throw in the towel.

My wife and I couldn't be better suited for each other, and we weren't about to let something silly like religion stand in the way.
Who knows, maybe if she had known on the day we started dating that I was an atheist, she may have not given it a shot.
Thankfully, she got to know me first.

Ok, here is the most comprehensive list of resources I've found on why man-made global warming is not man made. I’ve yet to read all of the resources, but you can decide for yourself. I apologize if you get lost in the plethora of reading material!
