is it just coincidence that most people who don't believe in evolution also don't believe in global warming? I haven't seen statistics on this, it's just my own anecdotal observation. Has anyone else noticed?

After answering questions about flying and a few other things, I got to thinking....

I have become much more trepidatious about several things as I've become older.

Is it because I am more cognizant of my own mortality? - or is it because I no longer have 'blind trust' since I now realize how very dangerous a lot of pursuits are? - or a combination of both?

the people around you? Where they screamed or something?
I once ran up to a bunch of people viewing the overlook at the Grand Canyon with two of my friends and jumped right off the edge. My friends did too. Everyone was screaming. I laughed all the way down to more friends waiting below. That was the only parachute jump I actually enjoyed!

The bible teaches that the human race has pain and suffering because God has willed it so. Adam and Eve, being the first humans created disobeyed God by eating fruit from the tree of knowledge. For this, God punished them. But why is the entire human race being punished along with Adam and Eve, the guilty ones? I don't think its fair to pass judgement for a crime on anyone else but the offender. For example, let's you wake up one day, and find out you're on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List because your great-great-grandfather killed a man in a bar fight over a century ago. Wouldn't that confuse you? Wouldn't that OUTRAGE you? You didn't do anything yet you get punished. That my friends, is not justice. So how can punishment of the entire human race for what Adam and Eve did justified? What say you?

I was watching the Dog Bounty Hunter on Hannity last night he was weepy and couldn't of been more remorseful for saying the N- Word to his son..Okay he said the N-Word and it was publizied for all to hear, if he was Sorry, truly why isn't saying *I apologize to those I offended and let it go? he now thinks he has to be buried in a Black Cemetary so he can truly be forgiven..WHAT? if he thinks he has to do all that, what does he think he needs to do for Jesus Christ to forgive him? Jesus never said *You must stand on your head rub your stomach with one hand and eat Spaghetti-O's to be forgiven*

What he said is you must forgive your brother 7 x70 to the ones who have been offended..Dog and his Pastor are mis-informed
Don't you think?

when Christians have also carried out acts of terrorism?

Since 1989 - 2004 : There have been 24 murders or attempted murders from Christians. There have been 179 Bombings, Arsons, Attempted Bombing or Arson. There have been 3,349 accounts of Invasion, Assault & Battery, Vandalism, Trespassing, Death Threats, Burglary, & Stalking. When people think of terrorism, they think of Muslims but the truth is, Christians have been carrying out terrorism in the U.S. on a regular bases, yet people don't blame the faith.

I don't believe there is a 'god', nor therefore do I believe that there was ever a 'son of god'.

I do reckon though that there once was a man (an ordinary, mortal man) called Jesus, who taught his friends and followers many good, strong moral lessons, and encouraged them to pass them on.

After hundreds (then thousands) of years of being told and retold, these lessons (as well as information relating to the man himself and his life) have been warped, exaggerated and embellished beyond recognition, to the point where he's become some kind of supernatural superbeing.

If I'm right then christianity itself is a bit like a giant game of chinese whispers (or 'telephone' in the US), spread out over two thousand years.

What do we think, answers community? Anyone agree, or care to comment?

I say ‘modern’ because we have so much more knowledge and understanding of reality in today’s modern world and I single out Christians because they typically come from countries where there is greater access to modern education resources. All this knowledge and education has the power to easily counter any of the Christian beliefs and has been able to do so for the last two centuries at least. Yet still a majority of god believers exist in today’s modern societies. This leads me to conclude that Christianity must be very close to the ideal delusion because it self perpetuates even in the face of powerful antigens, just as a living organism like a virus does. Will we ever be able to immunize children against this devastating virus?

NFL Players do not go to church on Sunday's... They instead use this time to provide for there families the best way they know how.

Does that mean they are going to hell?

If you are a completely moral person... but choose not to attend church, or really worship any God do you believe that is just cause for damnation?
