Comments:
Hello. I believe Amazon.com is acting in an execution of great social irresponsibility. They are in my opinion perpetuating a negligence so harmful it borders on being an ally to criminal activity. I consider Amazon.com to be propagating and therefore contributing to the potential sexual exploitation, rape, and molestation of children by offering a book on adult-on-child sexual relationships. It is titled, "Understanding Loved Boys and Boylovers." In fact, on the Amazon.com site, self-described boy lovers and pedophiles offer positive reviews of the book, saying it "attempt[s] to shed the positive aspects of a healthy boy/male relationship." This is advocating pedophilia. Amazon is also selling a North American Man/Boy Love Association tome titled "Loving Boys." Additionally there are other recommended titles. I would like to invite you to BOYCOTT AMAZON.COM and urge others to do the same and to only buy products from socially responsible companies. I will be moving my business to Barnes & Noble who do not stock the books in question. I have searched the B & N site and although they have an overview of the NAMBLA book for reference, they themselves do not sell it. Also please contact the implicated party and voice your own opinion about this book being offered at feedback@amazon.com. Please join me in forwarding this information as far and wide as possible. For additional information: WorldNetDaily: Amazon defends sale of pedophile book.
Webmaster's Response:
This entry was edited for clarity and ease of reading. The original post was identical to the "Boycott Amazon.com" section on James's AOL profile linked above. I don't usually allow others to use my guestbook as a soapbox, but I'll make an exception in this case as I generally agree with James on this issue.

Last time I checked, there was no religious test for being a Republican, so clearly atheists are allowed.

Comments:
The statement, "God exists," is a precisely stated proposition. So, it has to be either true or false. There is no inbetween stance. One cannot affirm logically both the existence and nonexistence of God. You being an atheist states that God does not exist, the theist affirms just as clearly that God does, the agnostic laments that there is not enough evidence to make a decision on the statemen and the skeptic doubts about the certanity of His existence.
Well, I am Hindu and believe in the existence of God in toto however, respect others belief. I request you to look at the daily events and take the holistic views...sometimes, look at the dark sky and try to figure out the accuracy of stars, planets.....Well, I am sure you must be well versed with the traditional arguments of the law of causality and creator of cosmos. Apart from all the universe exist and its real as well.
Do not you think that there has to be ALL MIGHTY GOD to control this.....? I suggest that whenever you find time please read "Bhagwat Gita", you may find this at any ISCKON temple....read for the sake of if not more....Good luck mate.... Saumya, Sept.05 2002, Kuala Lumpur.

Im`m glad I found your site, I believe in the inspiration of Bible believers that get the word in their heart. For out of the heart cometh the abundance of living waters. My nane is Jerry and I`m not a sign I`m a living oracle and vessel of the living God. My purpose is to keep a contact with the firm foundations of the earth that faith may take hold and be ministered under my feet even as the streets of gold are paved in the heavenlies. Living waters came out of from underneath the ekiel`s porch in the old testement and gave life to everything that was dead. Well I might be a little short on the letter but it is the spirit that giveth life and the letter that killeth.

Evolutionists A religion of mistakes & blunders. One which is the

LOL.
Webmaster's Response:
Hmm, "Ioanness Rhodos," an apparent anti-evolutionist/Creationist, or what I refer to as a "Cretinist," obviously has nothing better to do than ejaculate his unmitigated ignorance in suspect web site guestbooks. Talk about not having a clue! Perhaps a more appropriate bogus username would have been "creationisthavntaclue."
This crank found my site, well actually the Guestbook, on a Google search for "creationist guestbook" in which the following result was #80:
The Compleat Heretic's Guestbook Archive: Volume 1 (23 Feb 1998 - ...
... Children, the purpose of a guestbook is to give visitors a chance to comment on ... Webmaster's Response: Oh my, I haven't had anyone try to pull that Creationist ...
http://www.compleatheretic.com/guestbook/gb1.html
And speaking of not having a clue, this Cretinist, as they are all wont to do, "disproves" biological evolution with a completely erroneous, read "fabricated," case of mistaken evolutionary theory. At no time was "neanderthal man" considered to be an "apeman." On the contrary, the Neanderthals have always been recognized as human beings, that is, genus Homo. The debate amongst scientists has always been whether they were a fellow subspecies of our common species (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or a separate species within our genus (Homo neanderthalensis).
And like all Cretinists, this vaunted evolutionary scholar is no doubt wantonly ignorant of the scientific method. Through observation and/or experimentation, scientists gather evidence, "facts" if you will, concerning whatever phenomenon they are researching. These facts are used to form an overarching explanation, a "theory" in scientific parlance, of the phenomenon in question. A scientific theory is a considered expression based on the best available evidence, not simple conjecture like its vernacular/Creationist namesake. As such, all scientific theories are subject to change given the introduction of new, better evidence. This is not a weakness and failing of science but rather its greatest strength and virtue and the reason for its success.
Understand that evolution is not a theory; evolution is a fact; species change over time. The observations of both Charles Darwin during his tenure as naturalist onboard the HMS Beagle in the 1830s and Alfred Russel Wallace similarly employed in Indonesia in the 1850s independently led them to discover "natural selection" as the primary force propelling biological evolution. In the expression "Darwin's Theory of Evolution," "Evolution" is not the theory, but rather, "Darwin's Theory" to explain the fact of evolution is Natural Selection. The Theory of Natural Selection has withstood over 140 years of scientific scrutiny and continues to serve as a launching pad for fervent scientific research and discussion.
If you're looking for an actual "religion of mistakes & blunders," you have only to seek out "'Scientific' Creationism" which is "scientific" in name only. Unlike the considerable scientific evidence amassed to explain evolution, the only "evidence" and "proof" the Cretinists can offer for their position are obfuscation, deception, and a quaint belief in a 5,000-year-old creation myth. (Actually "myths" would be more accurate as there are two separate, distinct accounts in Genesis.)
The Cretinists commit the logical fallacy of false alternatives by presenting Creation and Evolution as the only, mutually exclusive explanations for the existence of life; that is, only one can be true, so if one can be proven false, then the other must be true. (Also, they refer to these explanations as "models" which is a tacit admission that they don't have a proper scientific "Theory of Creation.") Instead of presenting evidence for Creation, they attack the abundant evidence for Evolution in order to raise doubts about Evolution itself. Having satisfied themselves in "refuting" the evidence for Evolution, they basically declare that Evolution is false, therefore Creation must be true. Of course, at no time in this disingenuous exercise has any evidence for Creation been subjected to similar refutation, much less offered.
They also have an overweening bad habit of quoting evolutionists out of context to make it appear that even the evolutionists don't believe in evolution. The point being if even the advocates of the theory don't believe in it, then no one should believe in it. This exercise is not only intellectually dishonest, but just plain silly; by definition, evolutionists believe in evolution!
Philosophy basically has ceded Metaphysics, the study of what exists and its nature, to Science; the time is long past for Religion to do the same. And as long as its darkness reigns, this atheist will illuminate Religion's errors and lies.

Actually, all I wanted to say was that this Marty Lineberry left the exact same message in my guest book as yours. (He's the guy that can't tell the difference between adultery and bestiality.)
Webmaster's Response:
Oh, great, now Marty Lineberry's trollistry is drawing homosexuals to my site, not that they weren't finding it on their own. Thanks for visiting my guestbook all the same. You apparently read my response to Mr. Lineberry which suggests that you, unlike ol' bible-thumping Marty, have some idea of from where I'm coming. Even so, I was disappointed that you didn't follow the links to my "homophobic" writings.

Comments:
I am just another NC atheist who had to get out of town as the 125 churches in my hometown of Eden, North Carolina were making me develop homicidal tendencies. Having to listen to the town's many bible-thumpers whom I had no choice but endure was another of the main causes. I am impressed that you saw the light, most in NC would say "fell into the darkness," so young, and acted on it. Good show! I think I was born a skeptic although I was not even aware of the term until much later in life. I knew from the first that the "Tooth Fairy" bit was bunk and the quarter came from my mom. I was born in '44, and a quarter was big money for a kid in the late '40s and early '50s, so I played along for the cash. That made me wonder about all the other things I could not see, taste, touch, smell or hear that I was also led to believe existed. At a very tender age I had heated arguements with cousins about Santa whom I maintained was all bunk as soon as I stopped and considered the logistics involved. Being dragged into a Baptist church until I was old enough to successfully resist was typical I suppose for many kids in NC. However, if NC is the bible belt, then Eden must surely be the buckle thereof and they try very hard indeed to live up to the new name. I would have voted for "LSD" after Leaksville, Spray, and Draper merged in '67, but I was out of town. I was even baptised at about ten, but never went back to the King's Memorial Baptist Church much after that embarrassing episode in front of the amen section. Hey, at least I was not a Catholic Altar Boy.
Keep up the good work, we need more sites like yours. By the way, from reading through your philosophy, I find that we are pretty much in line. However, the by and large born-again Republican Party embarrassed me so much I am now registered as an Independent, and I never was registered as a Democrat, even in Eden.
Cheers
