I feel like our gene pool wouldn't be as diverse as it is now if we were to actually believe the story of adam and eve

the only biblical explanation i can think of for a slightly varied gene pool would be Lilith having kids with Adam too but that is really not enough for a varied gene pool within 2 generations.

And I don't want to hear any of this "The bible says it, don't contest it" bullcrap.

And that there's no one else above them?
Or would that be considered conversion?

Fill my heart with gladness,
Take away my sadness.
Join the Evil Atheist Conspiracy.
It's what we do.

Krishna, Buddha, Plato, Jesus, Augustine, Kant and many others insisted that there are two realities. One is temporary, material, phenomenological, apparent or of the forms. The other is permanent, spiritual and lies beyond this one.

Those who claimed the validity of this idea have never proven the existence of two realities. They asserted that we can only choose between believing or not believing, but that to really know the spiritual reality one must die. Does that make logical sense to you? Could these famous people be wrong? Knowing that ideas, no matter who thinks them up, are not automatically true, what method do we have at our disposal to test these concepts and see if they are true or false? Does logical thinking have any validity? Do we really have no other way, but die?

For example the idea of a purgatory?
Or how about a Perpetual Virgin Mary?
Or how about the idea of a Church that is not a local assembly but an organization where a Man takes the place of Jesus Christ as the Head of the Church?

international TV in the U.S,? if it wasn't for PBS, we'd be deprived. Is there some kind of international law or is it all about the cost?

I used to watch him everyday until I found Free Speech TV. When I started watching Free Speech TV, I was appalled at how his teachings backed Bush and his neo-con gov. Months ago, he said be weary of Iran and Russia meeting, and now it is here on CNN. But now I question EVERYTHING that backs Bush until I find enough credible evidence to believe it. Mind you, I will still remain a Catholic, I just don't trust mainstream preachers.

Where I come from if you use one single verse to create a new theology, this is called 'Proof-texting' and a great way to start your own cult.

Contradiction and lack thereof is one of the key tools in discerning the true meaning of scripture. Such a principal of interpretation and reading comprehension is ageless.

I am truly trying to understand a frame of mind that can allow for such a large exception in interpretation.

I have seen on the news and heard over talk radio a lot of christian leaders are endorsing a push for a 3rd party candidate if Giuliani is chosen to run for president as the republican candidate.

Do the republicans stand a chance if he is chosen to run? His more liberal stances on abortion threaten his standing with the christians and more hard liner conservatives. Christian vote is a large part of the Republican basis, especially here in the south where I live.

Type 1) People who understands both sides or different opinions and others point of views, they respect it, but they don't follow it because they don't believe in it.

Type 2) People who trieds not to understand others, they are blinded by their own strong belifes, these people are hostile and offensive and often likes to throws words to others without listening what they have to say.

Type 3) These people are evolved or might have evolved from the type 2. They seems ignorant, or if I was a type 2 I might call these people Aholes. Because these people just plainly hate the fact others people ideas are different than theirs, and if someone came with a similar idea as them, they would argue that their is more righteous. If they are religious they often start religious wars and enjoy believeing that others will go to hell, if they are atheists they likes being Aholes and waste their time by disproving others believes and enjoy making people lose faith.

So what do you think?
