Steve – We currently cannot ‘see’ or observe 70% of the matter in the universe — and we have only been around for a few millenia out of the billions upon billions of years the universe has been in existence. If you think that it takes faith to believe in a creator, and you are willing to believe in a shifting mass of information compiled from a vastly inferior base of knowledge (compared to what is in existence), then you are operating on much more faith my friend.

Awesome! York was indeed a real badass! I love such stories!
If you allow me guys to share another such story too: Léo Major, a French Canadian soldier that among other feats, liberated the entire town of Zwolle from Nazi occupation all by his lonesome, and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal twice in two different wars (World War II and Korea).

His story can be most entertainingly read here: http://www.badassoftheweek.com/leomajor.html
Or more accurately read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Major

There is a variation of this story amongst every Army in the world, except the French.

Honestly if you shoot that many dudes on the open battlefield under heavy machine gun fire without getting a scratch and take 132 prisoners by yourself, you get a free pass to believe in god in my book. You’d have to be messed up not to, quite frankly.

“Particularly offensive: your comment that Christians are uneducated fools.”

They believe in an unprovable, fictional deity that cannot be seen, felt, tasted, touched or heard and for whom there is absolutely no evidence, and they will wilfully disregard whatever science they don’t agree with in favour of sticking with said unprovable beliefs. If that doesn’t make them uneducated fools then I don’t know what does.

Pro war bullshit propaganda has to be in there some where. Yes I know of York and the bad hollywood movie but we all know how this stuff gets twisted just like they tried to do with the friendly fire story with Tillman. Generals always try to put some BS twist on their stories so the war gets a happy patriotic bullshit flag waving ending.

@Frank Drakman:
You are a chicken-shiite hit and run artist. Name calling and generalization ridden tripe like your comment make all of us here sure you would’ve been the coward behind the oak tree and not a fighting soldier.
Particularly offensive: your comment that Christians are uneducated fools. I will debate you on the topic ANYTIME, ANYWHERE and put you in your place.
