You're missing the supposed point, Wyerleader. The problem is that Craig was a 'hypocrite', not his particular point of hypocrisy. That is, the problem isn't the nature of the issue behind it, but the hypocrisy itself. And no liberal could ever be a hypocrite. That requires having a standard or …

Yes, it is. A prayer doesn't require a sacrifice. The last sacrifice required by Christianity was called in ~2k years ago.

On the supposed scattering problem: What's the dosage of such substances that would be scattered in that event?

What makes you say that? It's not like he's going after something honorable. All Dave is doing is pointing out errors in the bloated scion of a twisted dream born from broken promises.

I just want to know how he's defining predestined. If he's using the traditional "it [I]will[/I] happen, there's nothing you can do to escape it" sense, then I do not believe that it exists. But if he's using a slightly different variant of "This is how things are planned out", …

The evidence I've seen tends to indicate that global warming is a natural event, not a man-made one. It's possible the warming is changing things, I'll agree, but to blame that on mankind is excessive. And as to extinctions: Most of the species that have gone extinct over time did …

I think mostly the [I]real[/I] charges are "He's a bad, bad, ba-ad man' and 'BUSH BAD! BUSH BAD!', although I could be mistaken. For the word ba-ad, pronounce as though bleating like a sheep.

Assuming he didn't have some form of glass platform under there (water would have probably obscured it from the camera, but I did see someone diving through his path, partially above water, which kind of works against this idea), then I'm at a loss as to how he did this.
