It is well document fact that the Discovery Institute and it supporters are knowingly and intentionaly using lies to promote their agenda, raise funds and garner public support while shaping public opinion. How can this be a just thing for Christians to do.

It is all well documented in their own Guide the Wedge Strategy. Infact they have a written machievellian strategy.

Why the Episcopalians do not sing carols before sundown on December 24th, and will sing carols right up until Epiphany, at least two weeks after the rest of America has abandoned them?

So im not a scientist, and not usually the type of conspiracy creating crazy person either. But if humans really evolved from apes, it is to my knowledge, and frankly just common sense that apes would not exist anymore. There is no HARD evidence, this theory is not a proven FACT. So why the hell was i taught this in school?

Remember Muslims going on rampage when the Danes did the Muhammad Cartoons, remember Muslims going on rampage when Salman rushdie said some of Muhammad's teachings are wrong.
Why do Muslims say the worship only God when it clearly shows they worship Muhammad.

Theists, how would you react if you found that the God you believe in was not true. This is not a statement saying your god is false, but rather a question of how you would get on with life. I would imagine most of you would do fine after some readjustment, but am curious what your standpoint is at this time. I believe I am aware of the the multiple factors involved with your beliefs, and I have been there before. I also understand that many of you will feel such a strong pull towards your faith that you think it to be impossible that your God could be false, I ask you just use your imagination and pretend such a thing were possible.

Thanks

So how could God become upset about anything He knew millions of years ago was going to happen? He also knew how it would be resolved. So how could he ever be upset?

That Christian believe that the Sun went around Earth and if you said otherwise, you would be burned at the stake. Do you think you might be wrong with Big Band, Evolution, Medicine?

Hello. I'm interested in and am doing research on Dutch youth, street and college slang for a project I'm working on.

Does "slagmot" mean "fighting girl" in Dutch, and is this a Dutch slang term? Please let me know. Thank you. :D

When we married (2nd time for both), we were 42. We stopped by work after the reception to celebrate with our co-workers and friends. The summer intern made some crack about middle-aged people getting married, and our mouths dropped open and we looked at each other and immediately protested: "We're not middle-aged."

We knew we weren't young, but we weren't middle aged yet!

I sometimes think we skipped from just past youth to "omigawd, Mama, what are you doing in my mirror?"

I am a full time college student and work 35-40 hours a week as a waitress. I make minimum wage plus tips. It just frustruated me whenever people don't leave me any tip or like 5 %. That is such a waste of my time when I can serve other tables who give me 20% tips. What make it worse is that I work at a Japanese restaurant where the chef(the owner)take half of my tips and he also takes out the credit card transaction fees from my tip every night. I just absolutely hate when people coming in using their credit card and leave no tip. I don't care if they are doing a take out, they should at least leave me something. It is like I am paying them to come in to get food and i have to take my time to serve them while i am paying for their credit card transaction fee by the end of the nights. and people dine at the sushi bar are so clueless that they don't realised the chef takes tips too. they don't tip because they think that i only brought them their drinks so i don't deserve any tips.

The Crusades

The Inquisition

The witch trials

The murder and genocide of the natives of South America and subsequent forced conversions which then followed with the same in the North

Manifest Destiny

The KKK which had many Christian overtones

Christian White supremacy groups

Homophobia and general religious based hate of homosexuals which has lead to many attacks and even murder of homosexuals

Paranoia of change

Abortion clinic bombings and murders done by Christian extremists

The political wars over whether faith should be taught over science

And, well, you hopefully get the point.Because, frankly, I could write a book on the Christian "love" that has surrounded our history with a blanket of "righteousness".

So, I ask you, can you really say that Christianity is a loving religion and/or faith?

Someone answered another question of mine saying that if you quote the bible you have no thoughts of your own... that you're just brainwashed. The person was proud that all the opinions he has are his own.

But in truth, very rarely do people have opinions and ideas that are entirely original and completely their own. You and I pick up opinions and values and assumptions from everything around us - TV, movies, friends, family, newspaper, etc. Everything we encounter changes us and shapes our opinions...

The question is what *source* is changing your brain? A program that someone created to excite you and sell you things? A friend who likes to drink and party and pass out? A politician who is hungry for power?

I chose to allow the bible to change and mold me and how I think. I accept the truth therein as a guide to being a better person. I still have independent thought, but I choose to submit my will to God. Do you understand?

Well here is fun fact! Darwin admitted that, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."

(Charles Darwin, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life," 1859, p. 162.)

Well I bet your asking gee has that been found? Well either it has been found or Molecular Biology is what you guys calls a "Pseudo-Science". Another interesting fact scientist's in Darwin's time thought the cell was just basically a hunk of Jello. They thought they were geniuses back then!
