<description> Mantus it&amp;#039;s refreshing to see an unbeliever like yourself acknowledging the historical Jesus of Nazareth, His crucifixion and His empty tomb. I do fail to see the logic in your reasoning for accepting Islamic accounts regarding His death on the cross. As you know Islam &amp;amp; Sufism came into existence roughly 600 yrs after Christ&amp;#039;s death burial and resurrection. Can you explain your rational for accepting Islamic accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Christ opposed to contemporary eye witnesses accounts like Matthew or John? </description>

<title>http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ : Richard Dawkins: Creationism at Giant\&#039;s Causeway \&#039;is intellectual baboonism\&#039; - Northern Ireland, </title>

<description>According to Mr Dawkins in his book &amp;quot;the God delusion&amp;quot; these so called intellectual baboons are misleading and deceiving millions of poor deluded children. Surely Mr Dawkins publicly trouncing the creationist and intelligent design &amp;quot;baboons&amp;quot; would help eradicate a delusion &amp;quot;meme&amp;quot; and help free a multitude of innocent little children from being deceived. As for the idea that a debate would  lend credibility to the creation I.D. &amp;quot;baboons&amp;quot;  or the Harry Potter Boy Wizard argument etc The late Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennet, Anthony Flew etc would disagree. </description>

<description>Is it not strange that Dr Dawkins won&amp;#039;t enter into a public debate with any of these  alleged intellectual baboons? I&amp;#039;m sure a man of such vast knowledge and superior intellect could easily see off an intellectual baboon in a public debate. </description>

<description>OX my apologies as I misrepresented your position. You have not been advocating the &amp;quot;murder the little innocent babies&amp;quot; you advocate the murder of  the little SICK &amp;amp; DISABLED innocent babies&amp;quot;. You try to justify this evil idea by using ad hominem attacks, it&amp;#039;s not going to work OX your wasting your time and mine.  </description>

<description>OX your little ad hominem approach to the question of murdering little babies might sound sophisticated and thoughtful, it might even impress your chums and make you sleep better at night but regardless of your age old sophistry your still saying murder the little babies... lets just murder the little babies... </description>

<description>OX, it might be the case that folks aren&amp;#039;t stepping up to help families in need that is a problem but advocating the killing of the unborn child because people won&amp;#039;t help makes absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever. It&amp;#039;s akin to crushing your car because the tires need changed. Regarding my experience with families with disabilities it&amp;#039;s irrelevant to the question to abortion. The who takes care of who and how many divorces happen etc is all irrelevant smoke screen sophistry with the aim to murder little innocent babies. Lastly I was surprised you didn&amp;#039;t comment on the post-birth murder of the disabled is that something you also advocate for? </description>

<description>I wouldn&amp;#039;t answer your question until I understood your position. Now your position clear. You support the murder of an innocent child by the mother including accessories after the fact.  If we applied this logic to your question of who supports the child/ Mother at birth etc We could birth the child. See how the mother/family/support structures holds up. If the mother/social structures can&amp;#039;t handle it put the child to death then. That&amp;rsquo;s consistent with your position. Or we could abandon the idea of murdering little babies altogether. Have the birth, contact &amp;quot;contact a family.org&amp;quot; for support, contact other local/international Christian charities for support, contact churches for support. We could care for the least of these and work through this terrible suffering in the love of Christ together. Now I&amp;#039;m sure you have a boat load of logistical issues and sociological &amp;ldquo;what if&amp;lsquo;s&amp;rdquo; for why we should just go a head and murder the innocent baby but facts our people have been looking after the disabled for 1000&amp;#039;s of yrs and getting it done regardless of your moral hypothetical&amp;rsquo;s and &amp;ldquo;mercy killings&amp;rdquo;.  </description>

<description>So your position is as follows  &amp;quot;I do not personally support the murder of an innocent unborn child but I support the mother who colludes with others (the accessories) to murder an innocent child&amp;quot;. Is that what your saying OX? </description>

<description>OX let me follow your reasoning here. So there is supposed evidence from supposed experts that an  innocent unborn child could be born with abnormalities. This could put a burden on it&amp;#039;s loving  family, the innocent child and you/society as a whole . Your final solution is to supposed problem is to put the  innocent child to death? Thus irradiating any potential burden this innocent child becomes to it&amp;#039;s a loving family and you as a member of society? Is that your proposition in a nutshell? </description>

<description>Remember your Creator    in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come    and the years approach when you will say,    &amp;ldquo;I find no pleasure in them&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash; 2 before the sun and the light    and the moon and the stars grow dark,    and the clouds return after the rain; 3 when the keepers of the house tremble,    and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few,    and those looking through the windows grow dim; 4 when the doors to the street are closed    and the sound of grinding fades; when people rise up at the sound of birds,    but all their songs grow faint; 5 when people are afraid of heights    and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms    and the grasshopper drags itself along    and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home    and mourners go about the streets.  6 Remember Him&amp;mdash;before the silver cord is severed,    and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,    and the wheel broken at the well, 7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from,    and the spirit returns to God who gave it.  </description>

<description>I would like to pass on my love and sympathy to the Ward family who&amp;#039;s innocent child was slaughtered like an animal by animal(s).  Time nor the death of the murderer(s) has not healed their lose, they have born the cross for 45 years. But the light still shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome Him.  His innocent child also carried the cross and was politically murdered but  the facts didn&amp;#039;t end there. On the 3rd day He rose up from the dead. His tomb remains empty. We faithfully wait for His coming, knowing He will bring justice to all, He will make everything new, He will raise  all His children from the dead and unto life eternal life . On that day we&amp;#039;ll all rejoice in the man Peter Ward through Jesus the Christ the Son of God.

<description>A bit of wishful thinking going on here Eamonn. The boys in Tottenham etc where out for Armani and Diesel not  Lenin and Trotsky . Guess its just a matter of time before those two has-beens get a label of their own &amp;quot;Trotsky jeans&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Lenin jackets&amp;quot; that sounds about right. The display of riotous wickedness you strangely failed to condemn? Wasn&amp;#039;t a  &amp;quot;rising up proletariat&amp;quot; but the work of  sold out dying in the wool Hollywood hyper-capitalists. This might be just the beginning of the far lefts biggest nightmare. </description>
