While I'm at it, I'll add my thoughts on the discussion of the Sabbath. The posts so far have been focused on the "letter of the law," not the "spirit of the law." The point is to set aside time to devote to God (or spiritual matters, if you can't stomach the "G" word).
The debate over Saturday vs. Sunday is moot.
"A day of the lord is as a thousand years." Not a literal thousand years, of course, but a really, really long time.
"On the seventh day, God rested."
Man has been created (conceived) and evolved into a physical being capable of perceiving, understanding and acting by the "Spirit of God." This is still the seventh day. God is still "resting" from creating stuff. We're responsible for creation and creating now, but so far we've really screwed things up.
Whether it's a Saturday, a Sunday or a "Black Sabbath" Wednesday, Remember to take some sabbatical time, regularly and often. Take time to chill out, relax, be thankful and humble, and contemplate the really important things in life.

Whether or not it is "intellectually immoral" to believe in God depends upon how God is defined for the individual.


Three pages in to the discussion before someone finally points out what should have been stated right at the beginning!

"It amazes me how people are willing to deceive themselves like that. Because my conscience won't have it."

It amazes me how people are willing to debate God with such emotion and conviction without first agreeing on who or what they're talking about.
