No, a square has 4 even sides whereas a rectangle has 2 sets of 2 even sides.

You've got that all wrong. They are both quadrilaterals, so are rhombuses and trapeziums and any other four sided shape. A square can be identified by its: Equal sides ____________________________All angles right are angles ____________________________Diagonals bisect at right angles ____________________________Diagonals are equal in length A rectangle however can be identified by: TWO sets of equal sides ___________________________________All angles are right angles ___________________________________Opposite sides parallel ___________________________________Same properties as paralellogram So basically, a rectangle is almost like a sqaure, but not all sides are equal. End discussion.

If it would be like that, a square would still be a rectangle, since those two sets could still be equal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(geometry)#Properties Why am I discussing geometry in this topic? '>_>; But yes, not all atheists are like new atheists. Many have a more neutral view regarding religion. This one has a "very unique" view, for instance.

Did you not read what I said? A square and a rectangle are two different shapes. They are similar, but not the same.

I did, however that is just your opinion, while Wikipedia states otherwise. Geometry is not about opinions. >_> http://www.mathsisfun.com/quadrilaterals.htmlhttp://www.math.okstate.edu/geoset/Proj ... reRect.htmhttp://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/65096.htmlhttp://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_every_squa ... _rectangleNot to mention it is contrary to what I was thought at school for definitions. Now let's stop cluttering this topic with geometry talk, I'll make a new thread for it.

Atheist. The amount of arrogant idiots, AKA believers, in this forum amazes me. Let's just take a step back for a moment and look at how justified religion is. In the sense of what it actually announces as fact, it's f*** ridiculous, no matter what religion you're talking about. Think about it, what makes more sense? Chain of events that lead to something else that have been proven by the smartest people in the world, or some unexplainable supernatural f***** doing everything? Now in the sense of how it makes people feel, yes, it makes people more comfortable with death, but how do ya reckon the jews and the witches felt about the whole affair?

The Jews? Did you mean the Holocaust? That wasn't religious, that was racial.

Well actually just in general. Despite it making for a good laugh on the internet, people who are Jewish are generally shunned upon in society.

That's due to the majority of people being Christian in western worlds, and originally Jews were shown as murderers. And they suspiciously own a large proportion of the world's wealth, but what can you do?

Heh. I'm sure there were options that didn't involve the murder of millions.

Yeah, Hitler certainly was very religious. >_>
Also, don't lump Christians together on anti-Semitism. Calvinists have generally been tolerant of Jews, for instance.
Science does not argue against religion in the first place (to the contrary, it rebuked the historical notion of materialism, that the universe has no beginning). It neither affirms or disproves God, for instance. I'm also happy you are that quick to make an argument ad hominem.

Hitler wasn't religious... He needed a scapegoat to get the German populace on his side.
