Are you ******* kidding me?Follow

Oh you petty petty man. Making fun of God is one thing, YOU LEAVE THE RED SOX OUT OF IT!

I'd bet you they were going to win it all, but..

We all know you woudln't pay up anwya.

Ahem.

I realize that. I was just pointing out that you didn't need to "yell" at me. No biggie, end of subject.

Lot's of things, including Christianity have had certain aspects of an original theory that, at one point or another, may have been proven inaccurate. That does not mean that the theory as a whole is incorrect. I was never TOLD to believe in God. It was a choice that my parents gave me. They told me their beliefs, then let me decide for myself whether or not I wanted to believe. My grandma is an athiest for crying out loud (not like this has any relevance, just thought I'd throw that in). That's whats so nice about being able to each have our own opinion. I'm not going to deny that some people DO have religion force fed to them. I don't agree with that at all. It should be a freedom of choice. Bottom line.



This isn't a flame, i honestly don't know what the above quoted content is supposed to mean. Mabye I'm slow, but I can't descipher it from context, help me out.[/quote]

I was referring to the fact that 80% of people believe in God, Allah, whoever vs. the scientific explanations of creation.

Argue that the War in Iraq was a terrible decision.

start a new thread about it, there is too much emotion in this one about creation vs evolution

Nah you start the thread. People see my name next to an Iraq thread and they say "Oh here we go with the Commie again!"

In response to the original post/poster:

YES. I'M F'UCKING KIDDING YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Eb

P.S. Thread over. :)

And?



Sure you were. It didn't spontainously occur to you to do so did it>?


You presnt this as it were two equal options. Which makes as much sense as your parents telling you "Some people think the world is round, some people think it's flat, you'll need to decide for yourself."

Let me guess, the parents happen to belong to the same religion you do?


And they say inteligence is herditary, apparently not.



Will you let your children choose to believe that the sky os Orange or will tell them it's blue? Because if you go with Blue then you're making a special exception for a supreme being, and if you do that, you're artificially effecting what they will chose to beleive.

In other words you're force feeding them something which simply isn't true.


Oh, ok.

People are in general, gullable idiots. That's why we have advertising and religion. So other people can make money off that trait.

People love the baby Jesus, man.

This thread made him cry bloody tears of rage, apparently.

Little ones.

don't pick on religion or the thread will never die, don't you know this dispute has been going since the beginning of time? what makes you think this thread can ever die now :P

I don't know that I could prove Snow White and the seven dwarves, Santa Claus or the tooth fairy don't exist, ergo they do?

Is that your position?

It's diffren't, Corky, because no one is telling me not to believe something that there is absolutely zero proof of because THEY DON'T HAVE TO.

That's what proof is for. Discriminatig between imaginary ******** and reality.


Incorrect. My "disbelief" is based on ALL OF THE RECORDED EVIDENCE OF HUMAN HISTORY.

That's a *little* more evidence than "because someone told me so" would't you say?



Evidence of what? That a fictional boat really existed? It's a FAIRY TALE. If this article had been about them going to look for Harry Potter's Broom would you be here saying that it was a good idea, worthy of effort?

Why not?

It's PRESICELY the same thing. In every way.



No, dumbass, to "search for truth" you start with the question, not the ANSWER. What is happeneing here is starting with the answer and searching for things that make it true.

That's bad science. That's bad logic. That's even bad theology.



Disprove to me that the Easter Bunny isn't real.

Get off your ***, and prove to me that he doesn't come every year and **** out tiny chocolate eggs for the children.

When you can prove to me that he isn't real I'll belive in God.



No. Once again, I'm willing to accept the fact that some things are not known to humans, you idiotic bastards are willing to accept that a man sailed a boat around during a giant flood and crashed it into a mountain.

While those oppinions might be diametricaly opposed, there are distinct diffrences between them.

Firstly, mine isn't based on a child's fairy tale.

Secondly, I'm working from fact and not the ramblings of some dead Jewish scholar from 3000 BC.

Thirdly, I'm right.

Signifigant diffrences.





As likely as the Easter Bunny being real or you finding Harry Potter's broom.

good luck with that, by the way. Hopefully you can get the money together for an expidition to London.

Don't worry, you should be able to get the cash. The world is full of idiots who will give money to the people who tell them the fairy tales are real. Just take a walk through Vatican City sometime.

I accept that you bow to my superior knowledge and wisdom, but are too full of hubris to admit this openly.

Understandable.

You're only allowed 5 quotes per post now Smash....but nesting them has been fixed.
