Hey Dad.
Sigh...I know...I know...I'm working on it. Just a couple of days ago I had to spell it out to some folks in a different answer. Went something like this:
It's a fundamental (I use the word advisedly) misunderstanding of the whole "God made man in his own image" line. Some people take this literally and personally, to mean that they, personally, are the template for God's perfect creation. Backed up with the literature written by people who...well, pretty much thought the same thing...these people invert the equation, and essentially make God in their own image. If they think something is "abominable", it becomes an abomination to God, be it homosexualiy or a woman's right to choose...just about anything, come to think of it, or the belief that we all evolved from simpler organisms, or that the world's just a tad more than 6,000 years old ("And I would have got away with it too, if it hadn't been for you pesky dinosaurs!"). All abominations to the god that these people believe in. So they're actually doing a disservice to God by pushing their hatreds onto Him. I have this image of God checking through the Bible, going "What??? I never said that! Oi, Holy Spirit - check out the microphone before we go talking to prophets again will ya? I said Original FUN, not SIN...don't even know what sin is, come to that. Oh good grief...Where did this come from? 'It is an abomination unto God to dress in purple on a Thursday'?? They're making this stuff up as they go along now!..."
Humans, eh?
Oh by the way, you wanna come down and chill by the Lake some day, we get all-inclusive cable and TIVO and we have the ten-season box-set. Bring the marshmallows and the Jiffypop, we'll have a fine old time...

You know, I bet He doesn't even read the replies. That would be just like Him. He creates Heaven and Earth, leaves no owner's manual, and then gives us a bunch of "signs" like wet carpet on a dry ground. How are we supposed to know what that means, huh? What was all that stuff with Job? Where did Cain get his wife from? And who owns the deed to Israel anyway? Of course we are going to make mistakes.
Then he sends his kid down to forgive us, and sure enough, the kid refuses to write anything down either. Sure, we have all kinds of eyewitness accounts, but nothing in the First Person (so to speak), not even a postcard.
Anyway, now that we know He has internet, could we at least ask for a little clarification? I am not sure where to start, but at least we could ask if He uses a Mac or a PC.

Whoops, forgot a few facts.
Darwin gave intellectuals a basis to believe in natural, biological creation, survival of the fittest. This is an unproven science. This science will never be able to show how genetic code is created. It is purely a hypothesis. God did it.
Before we pat atheists on the back, let's remember what they do when they get power. Darwin's hypothesis has led to godless political philosophies, that have been and are the most oppressive that have ever existed. The nazi's had scientific justification for ethnic cleansing (jews), and many nations use this today. The godless marxists eliminate capitalists and believers and anyone else who gets in their way to create a dreary society of big brother. Open your eyes, would you like to live in Cuba or North Korea, or during Stalin's programs and Mao's revolution. 10's of millions of people sufferred and die. What happen is due to atheists, the worst of the bunch.
Yes, fanatical believers do exist, and God disavows them, don't you? The real message of God is to love God with all your heart, and love others as you love yourself, isn't it? Some people do go off message, but the impact is small compared to what atheists have have accomplished.
Since God is a creator, he created each of us for a reason, thus, we are justified to have a purpose. Goverment should protect individual rights and allow each of us to find our destiny.
Me, I deeply fear Godless societies. Government should respect the free expression of religion of people and communities. Belief in a creator is vital to the health of a society.
When you have a child, just look in their eyes and tell them they are a random quirk of nature and in the grand scheme of nature, their life is meaningless. I dare you. But that is what you have to do, if God does not exist.

*Friends end spoilers*
I don't think anyone has said that yes, Ross and Rachel DID get back together. Rachel was leaving for a job in Paris, Ross rushed to the airport, and Rachel left the plane, and then they got back together there at the airport, I think.

I never did get into that sitcom. I preferr reality shows, like "cold case files" or "The first 48" . (not american idol or survivor) They make me wonder where you were when little girls are raped and murdered. So, I guess you were watching friends, huh? I must say, I'm very disappointed. I wouldn't consider that as an acceptable excuse for the lack of protection for the innocent, whom you are supposed to love. Explain yourself, sir.

Aw! The Atheists sound more over-religious than the "religious".
