If the man was a Christian, and incorporated into his world view Evolution because of the facts about Evolution, what does it say about his "mind".

What does it say about anyones mind, who despite a religious belief about a God or Gods, would incorporate into their world view, based on scientific evidences and facts collected, a different understanding of nature.

I hope for real answers not sphew.

Why do people that disagree with others, right away assume that they know how intelligent others are just because they disagree with their views.

If one were at a sporting event in the Czech Republic, and wanted to shout encouragement to a player, what would one shout?

Likewise, in Poland, what would one say in Polish?

In the US, we'd yell something like, "Go, Karel!" or "Go, Dorota!"

What's the Czech equivalent? And the Polish?

Thank you!

I work in retail, and I have a frequent customer who says that he gives free Bible classes in a room he rents at a local library. However, I've heard him make derogatory remarks about gays. (He calls them queers.) Also, he claims to be against interracial dating, but he is a white man who often flirts with my black co-workers. And not only that, but he'll sometimes wear his sunglasses (even at night), because he thinks that women then won't be able to tell that he's ogling them, but it's so obvious. (Isn't lust one of the seven deadly sins?) He's a judgmental, hypocritical old pervert who claims to be a Christian. Didn't Christ say, "He who has not sinned shall cast the first stone"?

yet they represent up to 10-16 percent of the general population.

sample : "of those executed for murder 65% were
Catholics, 26% Protestants, 6% Hebrew, 2% Pagan, and less than 1/3 of 1%
non-religious."

Now I thought that it was us non religious folk who were the ones with no sense of morality yet we make up a tiny proportion of the prison population compared to our general numbers.

To put it simply

69 % of the US population is christian and 84 % of the prison population is christian yet 10-16 % of the US population is non religious yet they ony represent 0.3 % of the prison population.

Why do you think this is so ?

Surely all the "nasty" secular people should have a disproportionate amount in prisons.

I like to focus on the good verses and not the ones where God is stoning, murdering, or allowing entire nations to be raped and pillaged, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)

I am and atheist and you should be too. That said, why aren't you christians who call themselves "fundamentalists" and adherents to the letter and spirit of bible trying to murder me? Aren't you disobeying god by letting me live?

To be a disciple of Christ one must let go of this existence and seek the Kingdom of God. Jesus requires Love and Mercy and its application which is forgiveness. Any religion that requires you to judge others results in condemnation and is NOT what Jesus taught. Why do so many Christian denominations teach the opposite of what Jesus taught?
