Reading RBHill and Darfius "debating" whether all the animals (swimming or otherwise) were placed on the Ark has to be the most surreal thing I have ever read. I'm actually starting to think that you guys seriously believe the whole universe was created 6.000 years ago; a belief that in the light of modern science is less serious than the flat Earth is the center of the Universe. Please, please tell me that you're just screwing with us skeptics and you're not ready for a padded cell.

And if it is, then those who sin and do not atone for it through accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior will not make it to heaven.
If dinosaurs walked the earth when humans did, that is proof that God exists?
That, my friend, is the most crap argument I've heard since...since...since George W wanted to invade Iraq.

Nyxie what does verse 5 have in it adoption good see it?
You should Read The Purpose Driven Life by: Rick Warren. It is an excellent book for Christian growth. I like Chapter 15.
The very first sentence in the book qoutes "It's not about you."

It iks not hate it is Love. Telling someone the Good News of J.C.
What about other good news? Suppose I just got laid. Would you like for me to share that with ya?
I really don't care how much good news you or anyone else spreads. I'm happy that you have your faith and that it fills a need in your life. I truly am. I'm not kidding about that at all.
What bothers me about religion, and not just Christianity, but all of them, is when it creeps into legislation. When our lawmakers feel pressured to shove their version of religion/morals/ethical standards/etc, down everyone's throats. Then it effects ME! You I can ignore, but laws I cannot. Then their religion is in my life and my business. I don't want it there. I'm an American citizen and I don't need or want anyone else's version of salvation in my home and personal life. I'll find my own salvation if you don't mind. I'll find it when I'm ready to find it. or not. It's my life, so everyone else can stay out of it.
Can you, or anyone else here, at least see my point and understand that?

Originally posted by RBHILLSurely it isn't love, it is the desire for everyone to be like you. You think you have all the answers, you have found a system of beliefs that works for you and you think you need to tell everyone. You are like someone that has found a really good detergant and all you can do is talk about how good your detergant is. If someone believes as strongly as you do that they have found the right path then your constant haranguing is certainly not love. It is your hate for their beliefs that diverge from yours that drives you. Can you understand this? Can you see why preaching at people isn't love of said people, but love of yourself. Kind of like religous masterbation.

And for that other thing yes if I was a dirty old man I probably would.
And how many times have you failed at your own Free will to come to this Thread.
Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with God, through the Savior Jesus Christ.
