Look. You can't just concentrate on Christians for believing in a religion. For example... You can't blame people for believing that the U.S will, i dunno, win the football world cup sometime. No matter how ridiculous it sounds, it's just a belief.
I'm more of an atheistic catholic.... I think it's a great institution, and it's a good way to live your lifeI don't agree with Catholic views on contraception and homosexuality, and I suppose not believing in God is another problem, but catholicism is a good moral compass to live your life by.
Anyway. I'm an intelligent person, I've read up on and understand things like evolution, and geology, and plate tectonics, and biology and astrophysics. And I'm also INTERESTED (just interested) in theology, so I've read on that too.
Anyway. Be careful in using the generalisation "Christians" when referring to the crazies that refuse to believe in little things like evolution, and the age of the earth etc.
It's insulting to the rest of us.

Porkypine I'm not a science nerd, I'm actually a barrister, but I wouldn't expect you to know what that is!

I understand what you're talking about. But I would like for more Christians like you keeping the fundies in check.

To make it commonly used, i'm not insinuating that all and sundry "Christians" on Y!A actual are. there are various crackpots who stay right here between the cloak of anonymity. additionally to make it commonly used, tarring any distinctive group with an identical brush is going to tutor lack of information and misrepresent specific communities. If Christians think of all non-believers are "atheist, technological understanding worshiping, queer friendly, actuality ignoring, bible burning whackjobs" that shows lack of information and misrepresents a lot of human beings. If all of us thinks all Christians are "Bible thumping, hellfire and brimstone preaching, uneducated, gullible, inbred, southern drawl speaking morons" that still shows lack of information and misrepresents a lot of human beings. It is going the two techniques. That aside, Jesus Christ commanded us to pass forth and unfold the forged information of the Gospel. Jesus Christ suggested that the international hates Him and persecuted Him, and the servant isn't above the grasp. Jesus and Paul warned of the final days, as God the daddy printed, and that many could fall faraway from the reality or intentionally stick to a lie because of the fact they enjoyed darkness greater suitable than the gentle...it is incredibly glaring, after even an casual study of the scriptures, that the international isn't friendly to Christians. "that is in trouble-free terms the evangelicals who act like this, giving each and every Christian a foul call." Christians ought to have a foul call. Jesus himself, while he preached in basic terms approximately 2-thousand years in the past, had human beings throw rocks at him and at last they beat him, scourged him, crucified him, and killed him. The servant isn't above the grasp. i'm not asserting that all and sundry who're mocked on Y!A are Christians. some human beings push their very own ridiculous unbiblical evaluations interior the call of Christ: however the international mocking genuine Christians isn't any reason for us to alter. Is mocking all Christians for the "faults" of the evangelicals unfair, justified, or maybe ignorant? in all probability somewhat of each and every reckoning on the case to hand. that is high-quality although, Jesus Christ suggested it replaced into gonna take place - and God is by no skill incorrect.

Since you're Irish, you can't vote in the USA, where most of the Y!A participants live and where we are inundated on a daily basis with a barrage of Christian fundamentalism. What floats along as Christian in Ireland does not even come close to the typical Christian in the USA. You 'd think there would be similarities, but you'd be mistaken.

Well, looks like we got ourselves a science nerd. Sounds like your trying to make yourself look good with all this scientific stuff, but really, your just placing yourself on a pedestal, listen, nobody cares how many science books or evolution stuff you read, let go of the god complex your trying to establish.
I guess your a lawyer then? Found that out a few minutes ago, thanks to the Internet.

That's an interesting viewpoint, I guess if it works for you it works for you.
