Translation: I don’t have the slightest idea…

That’s a dishonest dodge on your part.

You know what I mean, so stop trying to play semantic word games.

Translation: I don’t have the slightest idea…

Getting you to admit anything is like pulling teeth.

Yeah, you’re right… I’ve never eaten crow here…

Why do you hate America?

Cute.

…and what is the objective standard for what constitutes “good” character?

You know what I mean, so stop trying to play semantic word games.

It didn’t seem to be.

Sure looked like it.

Not exclusively, no.

Actually not @ all, since there’s no such critter.

And I knew you’d come back with something like that. First, key word there: indirectly.

Getting you to admit anything is like pulling teeth.

Second, ever heard the term, “self-deceived?”

Ay-yuh, in fact, communicating w/someone who is right now – you.

Third, with the likes of Couric, Gibson, Williams, Huffington, the NYT, etc. working in his stead, Satan could take an indefinite sabbatical…

Why do you hate America? By saying things like that, you’re green-lighting terrorism, you know?

Yeah, it’s called the Bill & Melinda (a practicing Roman Catholic) Gates Foundation. Interesting how that foundation didn’t come into being until after she entered the picture.

Yeah…right.

Warren Buffett

The multi-billionaire, financier, atheist and business man. The following is taken from–Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist, by Roger Lowenstein (Doubleday, 1995), page 13…
“He did not subscribe to his family’s religion. Even at a young age he was too mathematical, too logical, to make the leap of faith.”
“He adopted his father’s ethical underpinnings, but not his belief in an unseen divinity.”

Bill Gates

Microsoft Cofounder and CEO, was interviewed November 1995 on PBS by David Frost. Below is the transcript with minor edits…

Frost: Do you believe in the Sermon on the Mount?

Gates: I don’t. I’m not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I’m a huge believer in. There’s a lot of merit in the moral aspects of religion. I think it can have a very, very positive impact.

Frost: I sometimes say to people, do you believe there is a god, or do you know there is a god? And, you’d say you don’t know?

Gates: In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don’t know if there’s a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid.

Gates was profiled by Walter Isaacson in a January 13, 1996 TIME MAGAZINE cover story. Here are some excerpts compiled by the Drudge Report:

Isaacson: Isn’t there something special, perhaps even divine, about the human soul?

Gates: I don’t have any evidence on that.

More blatant mendacities. Oh, will it ever end?!?!?!?

People tend to do good deeds based on their character, not their supernatural belief systems.

…and what is the objective standard for what constitutes “good” character?

Is that a deliberate misinterpretation?

It didn’t seem to be.

So the voice of deceit = satan?

Not exclusively, no.

See, I knew it. You think the devil is indirectly responsible.

And I knew you’d come back with something like that. First, key word there: indirectly. Second, ever heard the term, “self-deceived?” Third, with the likes of Couric, Gibson, Williams, Huffington, the NYT, etc. working in his stead, Satan could take an indefinite sabbatical…
