Leftist ideology is for the left what scripture is to orthodox christians.
Of course you can't see it because of your ideological beliefs.
Also, you are not smart enough to use that particular rhetorical device effectively. Your words would carry much greater weight if you crafted your phrasing yourself rather than trying to shoehorn your intentions into other people's sentences.
You clearly feel comfortable labelled as a right-winger, but you are quite mistaken if you think that everybody who thinks you are a fool is a 'leftist'.

Hang around long enough and I will enlighten you on more things than just Christian beliefs.

Replace yourself. Justify a need to do more that that, while recognizing that resources are limited. That answers your second question.
Your third question: dude, we are o ...[text shortened]... on: you put 'manage' in quotes. Why? Do you advocate unrestricted growth? Have you met cancer?

No, you have misunderstood again, wilfully I suppose. I suspect that you will never be able to understand the shortcomings of your own argument as you are unable to question your scripture.

It's you who is insisting that there is a "god" role for someone or something to play. Not me. Claiming that 'the only option I am left with is...' to accept your superstitious premise blah blah blah... is nothing but one of your rhetorical gimmicks. Every single human being must strive to decide what is right or wrong; it is something that constitutes the very essence of human nature and the human condition. "Play God"?? Don't be daft.

Your self-anointment as some kind of communicator of godly wishes passed down, through divine inspiration, to the whole of humanity through the writings of the ancient Hebrews thousands of years ago, is not the demonstration of "objectivity" and "universality" and "absolute truth" that you seem to think it is. But you prefer to think that it is.

Originally posted by FMFThis description you have given is perfectly consistent with the assumption that atheism is true. However just like I cannot prove that God exists you cannot prove that he doesn't. Thats why we both have to make unprovable presuppositions about the universe which ultimately governs our world view. Within the assumption that atheism is true, there cannot be any objective standard for right or wrong. Within the assumption that I make, God's laws are the objective standards for measuring right and wrong.
