Especially the lies told on websites like this one;
http://www.arkdiscovery.com/Noah's%20ark2.htm
Rob Wyatt is a known fraud and con-man. Yet when he makes a website about a myth, you guy swallow it hook, line and sinker!
Heck, he posts a photo from Google Earth clearly showing a "boat like shape" yet when you take the same co-ordinates, surprise, surprise, it's gone! Is it a miracle? No, just photoshop.
Honestly, you people are the reason that the old joke exists "why are the hills of Lebanon bare? Because everyone in christendom wants a piece of the true cross" -medieval joke.
The fact is, your gullibility and the fact that you've been brainwashed into thinking a lie is truth makes you succeptible to every con-man out there.
Go ahead and take a look at the site. Ask yourself why the photo of google earth has been tampered with? Ask yourself why the Turkish government would set up a "tourist center"? with nothing to show off?
Gullible people with money, that's why.

Evolution.

I see no independant research for it and it simply seems to be an inadequate attack on a well substantiated theory with huge amounts of data to support it.

So can a Creationist give me an argument for creationism that it not an attempt at dissproving the theory of Evolution?

I want to post this on two fronts. yet I think religious people need this more that Homosexuals.

I am a convert. From Christianity to Atheism. I grew up beliveing that Homosexuality was a sin. So strong was that belief that after convertion I still saw it as unnatural.
I read a young man's story and it grabbed me. People condem him, and he wants so much not to be Gay but he is. It is obviously not a choice as he continues not to "practice" In hopes that he will pass from this, that God might save him, A God that he believes in. Yet he finds that he is still attracted to boys. He does not want to be punished by God for his sin. And he has asked Jesus to come and save him. But he is still gay.
He want's to know why God made him this way. He has not choosen this. My heart went out to this story. I have been so wrong. We need to educate, and abolish cults that make a boy suffer like this. This is not just about homosexuality but all issues made taboo. Education or Religion?

I was on the train home from the city yesterday and wasn't wearing any shoes. I was sitting on the seat with my leg crossed.
The person next to me noticed the dirty sole of my bare foot and asked whether my shoes had been stolen.
I replied no and that I am barefoot by choice but they didn't believe me and offered to buy me thongs because they felt sorry for me having such dirty feet.
I put my dirty foot on the floor, feeling embarassed.
How do you tell people that bare feet are your personal choice of dress?

This phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants" should be applied to God if you're going to compare with human designers.

Throughout the internet atheists hatefully attack Christians yet never attack Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Jains, etc. Why is this?
