Incidentally, if you think Na'vi was insulting you look up the definition of hubris...It fits you perfectly.

I took no issue with the term hubris, I just don't take kindly to being called a girl; I am finished with his or her insults, it is unecessary, so I have to do Na'vi like I once had to do you. You responded and stopped the insults and name calling, some have the characther to do that, others do not; it is unfortunate that I am forced to do that to certain people.

LoL. Evolution does not seek to take anything anywhere. It has no goal, no agenda and is not necessarily progress. You see things from your godded perspective and you try to make evolution fit your agenda....OUT OF NECESSITY, certainly not from knowing anything about the processes.

I have no agenda, I have views, and my views hold no selective exposure. My view of the evolution process is within itself evolutionary, and I don't expect others to understand it.

And I like seeing things from Gods perspective, your right about that.

I am nothing; I mean I am human, but I do not belong to any religious group, church or organization- and have no desire to be a part of those; I walk alone in my belief.

What do you think of these verses then?


“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." REV 3:15-16

In my view, this verse is refering to people who are not totally committed in their belief, they don't know what to believe; halfway, stuck inbetween views; they are not ready to be committed; simular to a drink not being cold or hot, just something you would rather spit out and not take it in. The verse is not condemning people who don't know what to believe, its just God understanding they are not ready, and he preserves them for a later time when he will make them ready.

Actually, even though he denies it, Mickiel is indeed a Christian, since he fits this definition "Professing belief in Jesus as Christ"

You don't know what your talking about Sans;

Christians believe in the trinity, I do not.
They believe in thiting, I do not.
They believe in evangelizing, I do not.
They believe in the fall, I do not.
They believe the creation was done in a week, I do not.
They believe in eternal hell torture, I do not.
They believe in limited atonement, I do not.
They believe in Atheist being doomed, I do not.
They believe the image of God is something physical, I do not.
They believe God is now speaking to humans, I do not.
They believe they are Gods people, I do not.
They believe Adam was the first human, I do not.
They believe their pastors speak for God, I do not.
They believe lucifer is satan, I do not.
They believe the bible is inerrant, I do not.

Hey man, this list could go on for two days running; you don't know what your talking about; I am not a christian.

Anyone who believes that Christ is God is defined to be a Christian...Do you know how many versions of Christianity there are? There are 38,000, with no two versions believing exactly the same things...I'm sure you fit somewhere in at least one of them.
