Why do you reject the theory of evolution?

I cant believe how much you got right and how much you got right, pretty interesting , your mind works
Yes residing above the circle of the earth is the closest translation however the meaning is still clear.
My claim that evolution is a flat out lie, Darwin himself doubted it later in life .
Many of the things that would 'land you in jail' where the law of the land remember the mosaic law as written as a tutor leading up to the Christ an imperfectly implemented law implemented by imperfect men.
Sorry i dont multi quote well
Do you believe that all non Christians end up hellbound?

I think the correct way to say it, is that all of us are hellbound unless we accept god into our hearts.

Saying that non-Christians are hell bound isn't quite right.

We are all sinners and only by opening our hearts and hands can we obtain salvation.

It might seem like splitting hairs, but there is a distinction between circle and round; a circle would describe something round existing on a two dimensional plane, the word "round" describes the same object existing on a three dimensional plane. Similarly, square/box

That's a pretty common claim made by opponents of the theory of evolution, like when a lot of those same people say the same things about atheists on their deathbeds (deathbed confession). The reality is that Darwin was an outspoken supporter of the theory until he died. Even if he wasn't, the theory of evolution was postulated as early as ancient Greece and independently discovered by Alfred Wallace around the same time as Darwin. The evidence holds up regardless of who believes it or not.

How can the Bible be divinely inspired by God yet contradict most of our modern laws?

That you are this flawed and broken being right out of the gate is not healthy, people afraid of the hell they had landscaped into their psyche is all. You can have open hearts, open minds, and be Christ-like but not because of fear. Fear is my true enemy and beyond it my personal power.

it is only something negative if you look at it as negative.


Fear does not cause change in a persons heart. Fear only causes change in their actions.

Hades , ghehena etc all translated from their original greek etc all point to the grave.

As far as nonchritstians i love them to death, im just some very blessed person to know what i know, i didnt always know or believe it. Jesus Christ came here for everyone, not just the jews, at that time they where Gods chosen people , but there where several prophecies that pointed to the year, linage , birth place and even the manger or whatever he was born in. He didnt hate anyone, he spoke to everyone regardless of their status in any way, he was such a perfect man that even Mohamed , Ghandi etc etc etc all close in the time stream regarded him as a prophet and more.
I would love to talk more to all of you but i cant right now, my backs killing me and i said some mean things i have to apologize for to my daughter,,,,if only they where like Boys that way, sheesh

Fear is hell

Fear does not cause change in a persons heart. Fear only causes change in their actions.
Fear is a cage, it inhibits growth, it is reductive and I see it as negative because it threatening. I do not see a divine nature in concepts of original sin, hell and heaven, and creation when the result is a sinner.

I know fear well and I know pain......I would rather endure the physical than the emotional torment.

Science is the exact opposite of organized religion by its definition, religion requires faith, science requires evidence

"
precisely

Hating the Bible because what religion has done in its name is again about as smart as hating science for what its done, high fruitcose corn syrup is one of the biggest killers of all
Did I say anything about hating the book? No, I just enjoy it less than most any other book.

Old testament taken totally out of context, you i feel sorry for, or whoever did this to you.
Sorry, but lifes to short to spend it talking to someone as hateful and unenlightened as you, nothing good would come from it. If you can show even 1/4th the respect i do in my posts maybe we can talk, otherwise i will have to place you on ignore, again not out of malice, but really, i wouldnt let you talk to me in person that way, im not going to let you talk to me on here that way, fair enough?

We can take apart each scripture one by one, just not here, this is about evolution
As far as nonchritstians i love them to death,
for someone who "loves them to death" you seem to exude a lot of hate against people who disagree with your views. I mean, you just went off on strife and burgertime.....and for what?

Based on the fact that creationism/intelligent design isn't science, it's religion, and religion doesn't belong in any scientific or academic setting unless it's viewed in a historical context



You used the word first, I was being consistent. Would you rather I said "anyone who espouses creationism/intelligent design should have their ideas tested using the scientific method"? They have, every one of them, hundreds of times... and yet they persist. In my opinion, these thoroughly disproved ideas stick around because religion is a heated subject and not many people other than Hitchens, Dawkins and that circle are strong enough in their beliefs to stand up against them. So when people like William Lane Craig or Ken Hamm get their ass handed to them in a debate, I think the word "destroy" is very applicable

So, you mean to say that you'd wish to destroy historical context? That sounds a little Back to the Future :)

I quoted your original use of the term destroy, not sure how you inferred otherwise.

I said religion doesn't belong in an academic setting unless it's being viewed in historical context. Religion is for history class, not science. Do you agree?

I quoted Someacdude, he originally used the word "destroy"

Ahhh so i guess parts of the bible are taken out of context.... nah motha fucka! lol! You take them out of context when you pick them apart and assign your own meaning to them. The old testament is as part of the bible as any other part of the bible....why? Because it's in... the fuckin... BIBLE! lmfao!

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

^^^Riiight, because i am tooootally taking those passages out of context. Wait, hold on... actually i got them right from the bible that is sitting next to me right now. Hold on... that is crazy, the bible condoning slavery?!?!?! This is outrage!!! You know what im gonna do! God damnit im gonna pretend that the old testament isn't part of the bible, and im going to ignore it straight up, actually im never going to read the old testament again because i just reeaaally don't like it and i don't agree with it, even if it is IN THE BIBLE!.

Meh... sounds about right.
