| 481921 | 2006-09-01 07:44:00 | Another thing i find is the fear some have had about invasion by Aliens from another planet. Clearly this has all ready happened, and we are the descendents of the invasion. How else can one explain the tremendous speed we have supposedly evolved at over the last few thousand years? If our behavior of the last few hundred years is any indicator, then chances are we were the dregs of society being bumped on some obscure little planet that there would be no return from, in much the same way much of England's prison population was dumped on NZ and OZ. This would also provide some worship-able gods in the sky etc etc... |

| 481922 | 2006-09-01 07:52:00 | Some very interesting posts - especially zquerty. Good to see that some of you ignored the bait & answered the underlying questions (and those that didn't made the thread entertaining as well as interesting). I'm not a religious person, and I found the trend of religion (or rather the lack of it) in IT quite intriguing. None has really answered my last question yet though - are christians scared away from the IT industry because it is dominated by athiests? Come to think of it - females in IT is a similar situation - are they scared off because IT is a male dominated profession? |

| 481923 | 2006-09-01 08:06:00 | Well, me is a geek boy . I've had a bit of a "conversation" with what i shall loosely describe as a ghost, however i certainly don't believe god exists, just that people become godly, or more commonly Satanic . . . . So given that i do believe in what i shall very loosely call spirital stuff, but not god, does that make me Athiest, or outcast to all? :thumbs: :waughh: :D |

What I've seen of religious freaks makes me certain that atheist IPers would not scare them off. If they had the brains to do the job theyr'd be in boots and all to convert the "poor misguided heathans" Secondly, when have you seen women scared off because the job is dominated by males? |

| 481926 | 2006-09-01 08:19:00 | To be honest, I'm quite surprised by some of the comments in this thread. But I suppose it all goes to prove the first post. To prove what? that IT atheists are evil? It doesn't help when you start off by calling someone evil, and expecting them to be nice to you. There is one true God so we are told. If that is the case then rather a large number of Sects are wrong. Which church is the right one? My point is that the numbers are irrelevant as we just don't know. An interesting variation on that is: let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their faith, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can reliably project that all souls go to Hell. |

| 481927 | 2006-09-01 08:48:00 | A local author, Joe Bennett, in his little book "Down Boy" has a piece about bird-flu. In it he states, "Belief in and prayer to a supreme being who is benign and yet simultaneously responsible for bird-flu is so severe a case of mental inconsistency that it must be treated within moments of infection if the patient is to have any hope of recovery." I like it. | Scouse (83) | ||
