Why don't you post the long list of science fails?
The Goldfish cracker thing... wow.
http://www.theglobaldispatch.com/mar...charges-17115/A Maryland jury found a former pastor guilty of molesting three teenage boys decades ago and now faces nearly a lifetime in prison.
Nathaniel “Nate” Morales, 56, was found guilty on five counts of child molestation dating back to the late 1980s and early 1990s, ending a long and emotional case. The pastoral team at Covenant Life Church was also under scrutiny for not contacting authorities and properly warning the congregation.Reportedly the abuse was made known several years later, but they did not report the allegations to the police in the mid 1990s. Morales disappeared shortly after his victims told their parents what was going on, but he later went on to work as a pastor in Las Vegas and married a woman with five sons from a previous relationship.
During the trial, former Covenant Life pastor Grant Layman admitted he should have reported what he knew.
“Did you have an obligation to report the alleged abuse,” public defender Alan Drew, who represented Morales, asked during cross-examination. “I believe so,” Layman replied. “And you didn’t,” Drew followed-up. “No,” Layman said.
In a statement issued after the verdict, state officials said abuse in the church is particularly heinous. “Sexually abusing boys who trust you because of your prominence in your faith community is unforgivable,” said Ramon Korionoff, spokesman for the state attorney’s office. “These grown men have shown a lot of courage to come forward in reporting these incidents of sexual abuse during their childhoods. It lets other victims of abuse in our community know that they can come forward and justice will be served.”
Morales now faces up to 85 years in prison. A sentence hearing is set for Aug. 14.
Those are funny but that dude is annoying
Because science and religion are equals, two sides if the same coin etc, amirite?
Science is a study. How can it fail?
I know a lot of Christians and those who bah humbug. It seems to me those with a God are far far happier than those without one. So I don't see how we can have many failures with Christianity, it beats the out of being a dumb atheist.
Well ignorance is bliss.
I totally agree Asshole.
I just might love you. We could go somewhere and throw beads at people, have sex in catholic churches.
Yeah, I realized that after I finished watching the whole thing. Lesson learned. The guy is a jerk.
Kids are happier believing in santa claus. That doesn't mean believing in untrue things is good for you.
lol RandomGoy
You really thought I was talking about kids, come on man.
A lot of atheists are annoying.
Check out this wacko
feel free to start a thread and post it
Christianity or any spirituality is not about happiness; it's about self realization of who you are in the worl/universe. Whether someone else does or does not believe in the existence of God has no bearing on a "believer's" fulfillment in their own personal belief. Comparing such belief to Santa Claus is ridiculous therefore because people of belief have found evidence of their belief in very personal manifestations of that belief in their lives. You can tell me there is no God and that in itself is a belief, so who am I to convince you otherwise. Likewise, who are you to convince me that God does not exist. You point to science to prove a creation without God and I point to science prove a creation by God. The two are not mutually exclusive concepts. IMO they can and should coexist-- just like believers and non believers.
Like gravity. That 's bogus
who is telling you there is no god?
How about you just prove yours exists. If you can't then please take your seat with the kids at the Santa Claus table and keep your creation talk out of our science books. Thanks.
lol jeebo s
I don't need to prove anything because it is my belief and I have to live with the consequences of my belief, such as being ridiculed by you. You, in your non belief, are en led to same. I'm not asking you to prove God doesn't exist. That's what you believe and that's your belief to live with, not mine. All that said, generally sitting at the kids table is a lot more fun than sitting at the grown up table where a-holes debate topics like the existence of God instead of enjoying each other's company.
Oh, and I never said creation belongs in science books. You presumed that's what I believe. I don't.
ok, but you said creation and science should coexist.
where else would they coexist?
Lol nobody really believes that it's more fun being a Christian than not.
They coexist in our culture, in our diversity of beliefs or mom belief. They should coexist as they always have - in open discussion and philosophical exploration. IMO we do ourselves a disservice when we dismiss counter thought out of hand without at least some consideration.
