4 more things you two have in common....
Like the Nazis, you are both delusional religious extremists intolerant of free thinking.
you both constantly lie about what we freethinkers think and believe.
you both deny any proven scientific fact that disproves any of your religious beliefs rather than like most Christians sensibly adapt you beliefs (rel ...[text shortened]... e) to the facts.
you both blame atheists for the kind of atrocities theists like yourself do.
I am not putting down your religious beliefs, just asking you to recognize a belief as a belief and not a fact.

But from a government's point of view, of course they should all be treated as equally valid. There is no place in government for declaring one belief superior to another.

When you tell someone they will die soon, is that a belief or a conjecture?

Eladar: "Tell me what radio dating is based upon?"
Radio dating is based on the premiss that when a boy radio and a girl radio go to the movies together and hold hands, sometimes a little baby radio happens.
(BTW, this is why governments should not be allowed to teach sex education in the schools, because telling kids about sex leads to abortions.)

Strange that.
You convince nobody here.
To convince a rational mind, you must reference EVIDENCE; mere hearsay doesn't ever do it. You fail and fail very badly.
