"F*** you, you f***ity f***er."
Wow. such an eloquent, well thought out, and rational response. I'm surprised he didn't convert right then and there. That is a truly compelling argument if ever I saw one..
Fair enough. Although, you do not necessarily have to subscribe to a religion to believe in the basic message of their leader. I did the same with Christianity, ultimately. I acknowledge that the message of Jesus of Nazareth was undoubtedly a positive one, but there are many tenets of...
I agree that we must use our God-given ability to reason, however, the problem with cherry-picking, is that it usually doesn't work with Abrahamic religions. If the holy book you profess to believe in (the Quran, in this case) has verses that you don't believe to be true, then how can you truly...
I definitely miss the eros room, and the LGBT room. As well as having any idea of what I am doing. I feel like they are trying to make a Facebook knock-off now.:confused:
Incorrect. They are not "one in the same." I believe in evolution, but I am a Deist, not an Atheist. Also, many non-fundamentalist Christians believe in evolution as well, and have made official statements showing their support, such as the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, and the...
Some do, however, most do not. I was raised in the south, where it's more of a cultural thing than anything. I was raised by a family that was largely mainline protestant in some way or another, so it kind of stuck with me. My grandmother is United Methodist, and I occasionally attend church...
I generally do not pray, because I believe that God is a distant deity. I would imagine that it does more watching/listening anyway. Even if it were to speak to someone, (assuming that it even has the ability to do such,) I'm sure its message would eventually be distorted over time. Just as the...
Whenever I used to be a Christian, our church came from a very Calvinistic background as well. (no free will, belief in predestination, etc.) I've never really understood it either. If God supposedly has already determined your fate, then why even bother to evangelize?
Yep. I'm certainly not a plant, fungus, protist, or bacterium.
Other animals think and exhibit emotions as well. Our thinking and emotional patterns are just more complex than theirs.
Monkeys have tails, apes do not. Your lack of understanding of basic biology probably plays a role in this outstanding display of cognitive dissonance you are exhibiting.
We're still hominids, regardless of what other bits of "spiritual" mumbo-jumbo you want to add along to that.
Indeed. Isn't it ironic that we can find the bones that support my argument, but not yours? Probably because neither Adam nor Eve actually existed in the first place.:eek: :eek: :eek:
Now, perhaps you could try actually refuting the evidence in the picture instead.
