Religion forum? or just another excuse to discriminate? (miracles, evidence, Old Testament)

[skeptic griggsy]

I find it hilarious and dreadful that fundamentalists cannot accept evolution yet believe without evidence that a snake and a donkey spoke. Most are fine people just like most others are.
There are more abortions where there is more religious fevence!

I find it hilarious that Evolutionist can see written accounts of dinosaurs described not only in the Bible but in numerous other cultures written history, and yet still believe in Evolution without such strong evidence..

Personally, I find it hilarious that people can get so defensive over a long-extinct sixty-five-million-year-old lizard.

I mean, come on people....

They're all dead.

Come to think of it, there are lots of books showing how atheists/humanists are causing an erosion in values, society, culture - everything. At this rate, there won't be anything left to poison.

I guess this was the tolerance and desire for understanding posted about upthread.

And where might this occur?

Well that's the whole point, they have not been extinct for 65 million years, they have not even been extinct for 3,000 years. And if and when that truth finally comes out, this would destroy the whole Theory of Evolution. And even though we have many written accounts of dinosaurs alive in our recent past. The believers of Evolution ignore those accounts.

You might first look at two chapters in the Old Testment. Job chapters 40 and 41.

Let people believe how they want and unless they are performing ritualistic sacrafices on you or your kids, then just do what you think is right, and let God take care of the rest... Not to force my spirituality down anyone's throat, but Jesus did teach us to turn the other cheek and forgive... He also accepted people that were not socially acceptable during his time, something that Mainstream America has yet to obtain despite our self-proclaimed "Christian" ways...

Uhh... your assuming we are all christian. I don't believe in that deity mumbo-jumbo stuff. Therefore, it is my given right being on the internet to discuss whatever I feel like.

What rubbish to link those made up animals of those fables to the dinosaurs!You fundamentalists ignore with your shield of faith [ Articulett] evidence for evolution, placing your bets on the Tanakh and the Chrisiian Testament so full of made-up miracles. No one verified them.We know from the conservation of knowledge that such doesn't happen. When we skeptics investigates such, we ever find natural causes , like remissions or just plain frauds.
Your creationistic evolutionist sisters and brothers merely obfuscate when they try to combine religion and science. From the side of religion, one can combine it with science or divine rights or kings or democracy , but from the side of science,nay!
Do you take literally that Yahweh showed parts of His body,even His backside? And God has no body, and so, no brain, and so cannot think or act and so, He is crying!
There were no Sojourn in Egypt and so,no Exodus as archaeology reveals. You suckers! So many who fall for those frauds Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, and Benny Hill with their silly miracles!
Yet you ever bleat against evolution! Drs. Clinton Richard Dawkins and Jerry Coyne each has a book detailed with information showing all the evidence for evolution that a rational person would accept for it.
Keep up amusing me with your ignorance and love thy neighbor insults!
Good will and blessings to all! Yes, to all!

Hey you came into the rumble pit on your own. Did you expect a calm and respectful discussion on religion? Does it EVER happen?
