    I'm not calling out science I like science and science has already proven through science that it can't prove everything. My argument is in that original quote that he argues that we believe in something that we have no proof exists, when it's existence has yet to be disproven. So instead of believing in something they take the easy way out and play the "we don't know" card and then hate on the people that feel that they do.
    LOL... the 'we dont know card'...
    Can you tell me how many fingers I'm using to type this text?

    'I don't know' would OBVIOUSLY be the rational answer. Let's hear YOUR answer.

    I don't get it.

    Being black (or some % of it) automatically means you are not racist?

    Do you know what the word racist means?
    I was going to point that out, but I'm just so tired of dealing with his stupidity.

    No fingers. God created fingers and since god was here before he created fingers he's not subject to needing them. So in fact your fingers aren't relative at all because its all predetermined in gods plan.

    So are you saying all other religions other than what you believe are a path to and damnation? Thats the type of thinking that turns off rationality. Your literally taking a line or two from the Bible and misinterpreting it. When Jesus says i am the way and only through me why could it not mean his basic teachings and message is the way.

    Jesus teachings are basically the same message in other religions.
    In your close mindedness all Jewish Hindus Muslims ect. are doomed.

    Are you not against the war in Iraq (Jesus preached peace)? Would you not vote in the president(Obama) more likely to put an end to it?

    Where are you angel_luv? I would like to see your answers to my questions.

    After many many pages of this, she stated that one of her posts would be her last in this thread. That she was going around in circles with everyone, and it was no longer productive. I would finish reading the thread.

    I did however, state that belief in the notion that life originated from a chemical soup was pretty unfounded. All of our experiments since the 40's have managed to show just how complex even the smallest of biological compounds really is. The discovery of DNA, and with it the field of molecular genetics, has only expounded on that principle. On this specific premise, which happens to be pretty big, and worldview-defining... faith is unequivocally required.
    Untrue, again. What is required is a theory based on science that can explain how that molecular composition came to be. If you were to get up your lazy ass and take the time to study the subject, research it, and propose such theory, instead of just chalking it up to the supernatural, or 'faith', then we could actually advance our civilization as a result.

    Did you know that there are Ultra Orthodox Jews that claim the Holocaust never happened and that if it indeed happened, they deserved it for abandoning God?
    Who?

    She took a lot of unnecessary personal heat, which is unfortunate, but she wasn't going around in circles, she was, as someone said, constantly moving the goal posts to accommodate an undefended position. Obviously she has every right to her own opinions and doesn't have to defend them to anyone, but characterizing all the exchanges as nothing more than a round-and-round isn't true. She expressed her concerns, asked others for do entation against her feelings and then suddenly developed new misgivings when such do entation was presented. That's not a circle, it's a road to nowhere.

    Point taken, I was just stating what she said, not trying to defend her statement or pass it off as true.

    BTW (belatedly) Great First Post!

    Do you have a way to know?

    I dont think that she is that political, so bringing up a phrase such as the above is kind of, well, out of place.

    Seriously, though, read the rest of the thread, it's great and has so many twists you would be surprised!

    You could have but you didn't use your toes. You were looking for a number 1-10 in the answer.

    You could have also used your mouth holding a pen or pencil but you would not have likely spent the time to do it that way because you were just looking for a number 1-10. So the most logical answer is at least one.

    Before responding, I'm going to again point out your self proclaimed regarding Christianity; you clearly stated that your knowledge of the Bible consists of having 'read a few pages, and thrown it down', don't proclaim ignorance on a subject and then expect your opinions to be taken seriously, that serves only to compound your ignorance.
    Fair point.

    It's true, and you're screwed only if you wish to be, your choice, and even though your intent is to be sacastic, you are correct in that salvation comes simultaneously with the request, even if it's right before you pass on.
    Thank you, thats all I needed.


    Because you say so, huh?
    Nope, because that line is in the Bible and you confirmed its literal meaning. If youre right, JJ, I feel really really bad for the millions of people in this world who have never heard of Jesus Christ.

    Im sorry.

    How do you know wether I did or did not use my toes?

    You could have also used your mouth holding a pen or pencil but you would not have likely spent the time to do it that way because you were just looking for a number 1-10. So the most logical answer is at least one.
    Likely being the keyword. And I was not looking for the answer to be a number between 1-10, or can you factually prove it otherwise?

    See, the reality is that you DONT KNOW what I did to type that message. What's so wrong of saying just that?

    Thats pretty much exactly what I think as well. She's beyond thinking on her own outside of simple things like chicken or pork for dinner and even then I'm not so sure those decisions aren't based on careful consideration wether the chicken or pork has stronger faith and what her pastor expects her to eat for dinner.
    Nah. She'd create a poll in The Club to make that decision.

    I play the odds that you did not use your toes to type the entire message. I stated you would not have spent the time to type it that way and the odds that you don't have any arms is small.

    Nothing wrong in saying I don't know. But the reality is you can say anything because no one can prove otherwise how you typed it but there is a true reality and I still say you used at least 1 finger. Thats my answer.

    @ JJ

    Ok, enough of the back-biting bull between you and I. I am going to level with you.

    I have never tried to convert the religious to my ideals. While I admittedly show little respect for organized religion (and I never will), I can and do respect the people who follow who show the capacity to think for themselves.

    Here is my problem with most religions: their exclusivity.

    That famous, probably most well known quote from the Bible (I am the way...) is the bone of contention, the hurdle I will never get over.

    Because, according to you and others who do know scripture and its (supposed) deeper meaning, it quite literally means if you do not accept Jesus Christ specifically as your Lord and Savior, you do not go to our heaven.

    Not Allah, not Buddha, not Shiva, not Santa Clause, not the Easter Bunny...Jesus Christ and JC only.

    So, with that in mind, what happens to the people who are ignorant to Christianity by way of birthplace?

    I dont know if this troubles you or why you waste your time responding to me (specifically) every time this religion stuff comes up, quoting some post I made years ago as evidence of my ignorance (you only had to ask) when I have NEVER, EVER claimed to know everything about the Bible and Christianity in general.

    To be quite honest, I dont want to know. Not when I live under completely different moral principles that obviously do not disclude millions of other human beings based on their profession of belief to another God.

    I think its too simple and quite narrow-minded to actually believe that there are a vast majority of people in the world going to (by your definition) based on those flimsy, faith-based criteria.

    Like I said and I will always say, I would never align myself to such an ideal, no matter where it comes from. Its the same thinking we have in our current political climate.

    Some parts of America are more American than others, or You hate America if youre against the Iraq war or the myriad of other divisive platforms used to seperate "Us" and "Them".

    Im sorry, that sort of thinking and rationale runs completely counter to the very idea of "United We Stand, Divided We Fall, whether its politics or religion.

    And by my judgement, of the the two philosophies, I would much rather participate and endorse the platform that includes the whole of man with NO caveats.

    Its that simple.

    YES! YES! YES! Spread the word, brother! We need more nonbelievers.


    Einstein said "God doesn't play dice with the universe". What does that dude know anyway?
    I'd like to note that this was not about religion, but about science, and quantum physics. Einstein decried it as "spooky action" at a distance. He later realized that what he thought was impossible was actually happening, and walked back his earlier statements.
