Catholic
I have no religion! All religions are wrong anyway. It doesn't say God made giant liazard things (dinosaurs) It doesn't even mention anything about dinosaurs, it says he made humans first. Yeah, what ever you say. I don't care though, if people want to worship something, go for it. lol.
Only when I feel like putting off work.
Yeah like: "I can't do it, I have to go to church and pray". :(Quote:

To be fair, Dinosaurs pre-date the bible by approximately 65,000,000 years, so it's hardly the fault of the ancient Israelites.Quote:

The whole creation story is a complex metaphor, and is not be taken literally. The idea is that humans have been placed on the eath as the dominant species (hence 'made in God's image'), and have the power to control almost any animal. The whole apple dealy is about human nature- basically, we've got this really nice set-up, but we're such greedy, arrogant smeg-heads, that we screw it up and ruin it for everyone. The Garden of Eden actually represents the world, but humans screw everything up by being jack-asses, and make a mess of the whole damn thing.
Basically, it was the ancient Hebrews trying to explain to each other why the world was (and is) such a godawful mess.
But, Creationism is still stupid, narrow-minede and wrong. I've nothing against religion, but those guys are just arrogant jerks.
Tell that to the thousands of theists who actually believe Adam and Eve were the first humans, created less than 6,000 years ago.Quote:

I can't understand why people believe in God or whatever you wanna call him, it. People do take it literally though. In my opinion, only weak minded people follow religions. But, I am wrong in most cases. I don't really know everything about religion, so It probably isn't my place to say anything unless I have all the info I need.
Christian! Nazarene.
Yeah, OK.Quote:

Why does the fanatical, unquestioning beleif of these people make my point less valid? I've actually tried to interprate the stories of the bible, and make somes sense of them. It's not my fault that certain others find that idea offensive.

But then, people would have to have an open mind to consider such evidence, and as we see with some of the people in this thread, some think they're right to the point that nobody should question them.Quote:

Believers be on gaurd... the liberals are here.Quote:
