I know one guy who swears by 100% polyester shirts. Says he hates
ironing. He's also in nineties now and a lifelong bachelor. I know
correlation is not causation, but .....

Like the guy who smokes 3 packs of cigarettes/day and lives to be 100
years old proving that
cigarettes promote health and longevity.
There are exceptions to most everything.

That was good for a chuckle.

Or rescues hypothermia cases in polyester cold-weather gear.
Joke all you like, but I've seen children 20 minutes from
dying thanks to parents who dressed them in cotton.

Only stupid people dress their children in cotton during winter---
smart parents
bundle their children in warm clothing -- made out of wools, or down.
Educate the
parents---don't blame the fabric.

Wool isn't sufficiently wind- and water-proof.
You can't beat synthetics for outer layers.
(Inner is another story -- wool is pretty good there,
although some of the newer hollow-fiber synthetics
are unbeatable.)

We do: "Cotton kills."  For some of them it's too complicated.

All cotton isn't just "not a good idea" for cold weather outings.

Cotton also absorbs water, which is why all of my workout clothing is
made from 100 % polyester, or mostly-polyester blends, that wick
perspiration away from the body.

Dr. K, if we got rid of so many of the plastics in our lives made from
petroleum, and polyester clothing--nylons, make-up etc
wouldn't that lower the price of gasoline at the pump?

How much makeup can you produce with 20 gallons of gasoline?
How many polyester-blend shirts?
The question practically answers itself.

Not to mention the fact that most clothing is a mix of cotton and
polyester and according to the Bible, you'll burn in hell for that.

What would an atheist know about the bible?
ALL knowledge comes from GOD.

Realization that not everyone shares the same God, or higher power is
not
a judgment call for any of us here to make.   Replying to the subject
matter, and not
insulting posters will allow for new understandings of all people.
All things are possible
when people allow new thinking to come into their lives.

I wonder why Jan thinks that an atheist would necessarily be ignorant
of the Bible. (Which I always spell with a capital "B" to show
respect, unlike Jan.)

I don't have many books in my new country retreat at present, but
looking up from where I am typing I see a dictionary, a thesaurus,
four novels, a book by a doctor about how a severe traumatic injury
affected him ("A Leg to Stand On", Oliver Sacks, bought from the
throw-out table at the local library with a couple of the novels), two
books containing works by the poet and author Henry Lawson (I am
building a web site related to him), and

wait for it

a Bible.

It is the Bible I asked my daughter to get for me from her church
group. I was actually after a King James version, but the best she
could do was a Good News Bible. (My KJV is still at my regular Sydney
home.) It will do for most purposes, but if I need anything more I can
always go to my Internet Explorer favourites and click on the links
for The Unbound Bible (http://www.unboundbible.org/) or Bartelby's
online KJV (http://www.bartleby.com/108/). (Not a Bible, but another
link in my favourites is Biblical Art on the WWW at
http://www.biblical-art.com/)

An interesting note, and something which literalist Bible scholars
like Jan might like to comment on. The Unbound Bible site has a daily
reading section called Bible in a Year. Today's reading is Deuteronomy
34:1-12 which tells of God showing Moses the Promised Land and, in
verse 5, says that Moses then died. If Moses wrote Deuteronomy, how
could the book record his death?

Here's a prediction. Jan will respond to all of this by snipping it,
saying that "Jan is not the subject" and calling it a diversion. She
may or may not accuse me of lying as well.

Here is another angle of prediction.  Leaving out names and discussing
the topic is the key.  Remember we all have to get out of the habit we
were
used to--the old way of communication was building bad vibes.
Transformation
from the old way of thinking and harming will soon be a thing of the
past and one
thing is very certain the "L" word that once graced our presence will
down the road
be changed to "I do not agree with your opinion."  Very nicely put,
and not insulting
behavior...:>)

I find that whole comment very puzzling.

An atheist could know a lot about the bible.  There's nothing to
prevent an atheist from reading the bible, or even memorizing the
entire book.

By contrast, supposed "Christians" are often quite ignorant about the
bible.  Catholics in particular; all the ones I know say their priests
never encouraged them to read the bible, in fact.  Interesting.
