New descriptions of Australopithecus sediba fossils have added to debates about the species' place in the human lineage. Five papers1,2,3,4,5 published today in Science describe the skull, pelvis, hands and feet of the ancient hominin unearthed three years ago in South Africa6.

The papers reveal a curious mix of traits, some found in apes and earlier Australopithecus fossils, and others thought to be unique to Homo erectus — the tall, thin-boned hominin that emerged around 2 million years ago in eastern Africa and colonized Europe and Asia — and its descendants, including modern humans.

This mix of features has left palaeoanthropologists unsure of how A. sediba relates to other ancient human relatives. Lee Berger, a palaeoanthropologist at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, whose team discovered A. sediba, proposes that A. sediba may have evolved into H. erectus, but many other researchers are sceptical of that claim.

American Atheist Leader Calls for the ‘Eradication’ of ‘Fundamentalist Christians’

The fact is that fundamentalist Christians and radical Muslims are not interested in coexisting or getting along. They have no desire for peace. They do not want to sit down with us in diplomatic efforts to iron out our differences and come to an agreement on developing an integrated society.

They want us to die.

Their interpretation of the Bible and Koran are such that there is no other course of action but to kill the infidel, and if anyone believes otherwise they are only fooling themselves. It is not just in the best interests of atheists to be intolerant of fundamental Christianity and radical Islam, but it is also in the best interest of mainstream believers within these faiths, as well. Moderates and even Progressives who stand in support of extremists just because there is a claim to the same deity are not doing themselves any favors. Fundamental Christians make all Christians look bad and radical Muslims make all Muslims look bad.

Posting more lies I see. Do you just not care about being truthful or do you just not bother to verify what people actually said? Why don't you go to the blog and just post the actual quote? Is that so hard? Are you that desperate to find information that proves others beliefs are as bankrupt as yours that the truth falls by the way side?

That's about where you come off at.

Fine. Show me one of my posts where I accused someone of saying something they did not say.

Since you are unwilling to correct your post above, here is the actual statement and link to the blog.

The dictionary defines intolerance as lack of toleration, an unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect. Sometimes, though, it becomes quite necessary. Intolerance toward beliefs and doctrines that serve only to promote hatred, bigotry and discrimination should be lauded, as should extremist points of view toward the eradication of these beliefs and doctrines.

The link was in the body of the article...duh.

That be you in a nutshell....Jesus loves you. 😛

I am intolerant of lies and half truths. You claimed that the blog advocated the

eradication of fundamentalist Christians.

The blog made no such claim. Your post was disingenuous and at worst an out right lie. The fact that you posted it with out any verification goes to your credibility not mine. This is already the second time you have been busted for this type of posting in only a few weeks.

Maybe you should call and do your whining to the people over at the Blaze.

No one 'busted' me...its you who fail to see what was said. Its quite evident with Beers that some 27 Congress members caught his drift quite well and the ensuing credit downgrade that followed. They came out of that meeting convinced that spending cuts were needed in the range the TP was pushing for.No it didn't have to be that exact legislation but something very much along those lines. Splitting hairs is what you do.

This a fairly simple concept. If they said it, quote it directly and attribute it properly.

If you stick to direct quotes and links to sources of the quotes, there will never be any question. That is a lesson that Bachmann has not quite mastered yet.

When you run for President, you will not be given a wide berth as you have been here. 😀

Go Texans!

It you who does not get it. You posted it as a quote. You later admitted that the quote was false. This is the same thing. You posted a link to a quote that is false. You can stomp your feet all you want both of the quotes in question were never said.

When did you speak with Mr Beer? As far as I am aware he has never indicated anything that you imply. I have read that S&P condemned the actions of both parties. Do you have a quote that says otherwise?

I don't recall saying it was false......taken out of context at best. Still you can't explain why 27 members of Congress came to the same conclusion that the "quote" was insinuating and that to this day is the credit rating would not have been changed if Congress had made reductions similar to what the TP was looking for. You're still splitting hairs.

At least I have the balls to continue to post in that thread, when you get spanked, you and a few others have this sweet little habit of just looking the other way and letting it slide away slowly and surely. Hows that work for you.. 😛

American Atheists is a 'non profit' organization. Enjoying the tax benefits of any other religion.
So American Atheists are a religion(CULT) as defined by the US tax code.
Donations are tax deductible.

Strange it seems to me that one of the problems with religions and atheism was the tax code.

Oh well, just another fringe cult.
