Bunk. According to your secularist paleontologists, prehistoric humans left 
signs of ritual behavior older than Egyptian culture.

Wrong. The ancient Egyptians practiced polytheism, and took great pains to 
erase the memory of the solitary Pharoah who bucked the trend and tried to 
set up a monotheistic religion. Judaism and Christianity (and Islam) are 
monotheistic.

Your distinction between "Catholic" and "Christian" puzzles me. As a 
Protestant I can see the Christianity underlying Catholic beliefs.

Um, what is "so called" supposed to mean? That it isn't really a Bible at 
all? It is, has been since its collation, and will be until the Second 
Coming of The Messiah, "The Bible".

As have Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Shintoists, Buddists, Confucianists; and need 
I remind you of the atheists from Karl Marx, through Joseph Djugashvil, Che 
Guevara, and Ho Chi Minh to Pol Pot, who have killed millions? The atheistic 
Joseph Djugashvili single handedly killed more people than any single 
religionist before him in the entire history of humanity; did it in the name 
of Karl Marx.

They who? I believe a collective "we" (humanity) is appropriate, here.

> ...to control the masses...

Can a "mass" of humanity really be controlled? Might as well try to command 
the tide.

> ...and tender to their spritial need's.

And that part is an admission of spiritual needs which need tending.

> Jesues and the Bible are all bullshit.

So you say. No more so than Karl Marx, or Sigmund Freud, or Charels Darwin.

> The current bible thumper is "Bush" .

I would have thought Pat Robertson to be a more appropriate example of 
"Bible Thumping". Mr. Bush does not seem to be one to go out of his way to 
"thump his Bible".

What of it? Shouldn't there be a plan of some kind for this nation? (I am, 
of course, a U.S. citizen.)

Why should I trust them? They don't strike me as being terribly objective. 
If I were to take as close a look as I can get, those 100,000 dead Iraqis 
would include casualties of Saddam's own actions; quite a few of them, 
probably most of them.

You only state your opinion about that. It is worth as much as any other 
opinion in this thread; but no more than that.
