Dick Morris Claims the US Didn't Invade Iraq
(Slavery was what justified the war against the CSA)
Georgia is flouting South Ossetians' right to national self-determination, and they turn to Russia for help, which gladly pounces on any chance to expand their empire. Though it's sad that the statistics seem to point to a split based on ethnic groupthink rather than having broad appeal to non-hereditary (rational) thought.

Obama downplays the CFR and North American Union
=Disagreeing with someone's false premises is not an ad hominem attack.
Though if North America were to copy the European Union (and abolish USA's unfair agriculture subsidies) that would be fabulous.

Do you mean that without the threat of hell and the reward of heaven, you would have no qualms about murdering people?
Do you mean that without receiving the "word of god" you would not have realized that murder was wrong?

god had bad PR for so long that people now have no idea what they are trying to deny.
Even if you could demonstrate the existence of a designer, you would have no good reason to suppose the designer were a god rather than an alien in charge of some kind of computer simulation of this universe. The leap from "I don't know how this happened" to "there's some kind of omnipotent spirit out there" is a large and illogical one.
btw,
"Is he willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?" - David Hume, summarizing Epicurus' refutation of the notion of an omnipotent benevolent God.
You can't blame it all on free will. There are natural parasites, diseases, etc., that cause a lot of suffering. If there is an omnipotent god, then he is to blame for them.
Early Christian theologians tried to blame it on original sin. Punishing one person for the deeds of another person is wrong, therefore the concept of original sin is ridiculous.
