The toughest course in divinity school is the skill of ducking facts, dodging questions, and diverting topics completely off the rails so as not to have to answer questions.
I sure as hell would hate to go up against their dodge ball team.......
I've often wondered this myself! And did they have pet dinosaurs?
Of course they did, don't you know that "The Flintstones" is a documentary
Quote:
Prindle says the results recall a line from comedian Lewis Black. "He did a standup routine a few years back in which he said that a significant proportion of the American people think that the 'The Flintstones' is a documentary," Prindle says. "Turns out he was right. Thirty percent of Texans agree that humans and dinosaurs lived on the earth at the same time."
I know we are not supposed to mock the beliefs of others, but this isn't a belief, it is insanity, raging Looney Tunes insanity, even though The Flintstones wasn't a Looney Tunes production.

This guy represents a church or religious organizational demomination????
He says "The fact is that we dont know exactly how things happened..."
"But, what we do know is that from individuals who decided that they did or did not want to follow the will of god came the rest of us...."
So, first of all he never answered the question, he gave a BS excuse for how Adam and Eve became grandparents, it happened from "individuals who decided that they did or did not want to follow the will of god." Second, what idiot head of which church had this fool go on tv proclaimng this crap.
Churches and clergy men never cease to amaze me. This is all covered in Dawkins' book, The god illusion. Any gap that can't be expained just chalk up to god's way.
The more these religulous types open their mouths the more foolish they sound.

Actually the divinity school I went to taught us to confront the inconsistencies, facts that make so sense and passages that make you go huh? In fact they even taught a course on how to preach the passages of hate that exist in the Bible, the passages that never make the lectionary and as such are never touched upon in church.
At our church I mention that taking the bible seriously means that at times we can't take it literally. It has errors in it; it has to, it was written by man.
Ask me any question and I will do my best to answer, but remember sometimes the answer is going to be "I haven't a friggin clue".

Got to say it is refreshing to hear you say that, and there are a huge number of people that will not recognize that fact, believing it is the word of god, and is to be taken literally.
And their response to difficult questions is either "it's in the bible, so it is so" or "god dunit"
