You appear to be reinforcing my point. That line is, indeed, so "fine" that it's almost non-existent when viewed over the long term, with one speciated form gradually (almost imperceptibly) morphing into the next. Other than that, it's hard to know what you were trying to say with that (non) response.

Evolution is as "proven" as virtually anything we have learned through science, supported by overwhelming evidence. Did you bother to look at the Smithsonian link? The information it summarizes is based on 1000s of pieces of evidence, substantiated through multiple lines and fields. Here is another, in easily readable format:

Not a bad analogy, Arach. The human baby doesn't start out looking anything like it comes out 9 months later! In fact, it starts out looking a lot like other mammalian fetuses, complete with tail.

They are out to convert or kill, im out to convert or at least try to convert. Extremism is there forsure, but Christianity is peaceful, not violent like the other you mentioned.

People try to falsify the peace statement by going back in time to the Crusades, those people used religion as a shield for their evil deeds, true Christianity is never that way. Self defense is advised in Christianity but never violence like we see today or in history. Love and peace.

Is love and peace ever a bad thing?

You do have a way of jumping to appropriate referents that are not immediately obvious, Arach, which is why people have trouble following your comments and analogies.

The day that Columbus set sail to discover a short cut to China rhe Christain Spanis h gave the Spainish Jews a choice of three opti ons, leave the country, convert to Christainity or be put ro death. There is 2000 years of history of countr ries led by Christain that was not living to and peaceful.

A Christain American theocracy would still be ran by humans and isnt your belief is that humans are sinful?

And nowhere in yourcresponse did you claim that you would not harm or make suffer Jews, LBGT folks or atheists. Or liberals. There was a time not so long ago that Jews were treated better in Muslim led coubtries than those led by Christians.

All you offer was your fantasy that getting rid of democracy andreplacing it with a Christain theocracy would be wonderful and peaceful. its a dream with no basis of reality. If you are willing to die for that cause you may be willing for others to do so .

You have no concept of the history of christianity. The Crusades are a case in point, but if you want another try what the christians did to the Indians of South America in the late 1500s.

Those people did wrong, they are not following the new testament, I cannot be judged by others wrong doing hundreds of years ago. Peace with all is the goal.

They did wrong to my native American ancestors too. I had family members forced off their homeland to go live on a reservation. I know about it. Wrong doing is wrong no matter if they called themselves Christain or not. I condemn it all.

When Jesus was walking this earth, He condemned religious people all the time for misusing religion. He called out fakes and so do I. Having the title Christain doesn't change anything, actions do make the difference.
