Sounds like the same old stuff I've always heard about Christianity all right....

Why is it that when a scientist makes a claim, twenty-thousand other people are immediately up his donkey telling him to back up his claims, but when a scary guy like that makes a video and makes claims about religion, nobody gets up HIS donkey about where his "facts" came from etc.?

That kinda reminds me of when I was younger. On of my favorite words was, "why". Why does this happen and why doesn't that? - that sort of thing. I'll give an example.

me: why is grass green?
authority figure: because chlorophyll in plants often makes them green.
me: why?
authority figure: because God made it that way.

UUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMM?

When a scientist makes a claim those 20 thousand people are other scientists whom are mostly jealous that they did not come up with the idea themselves.

"When a scary guy like that" makes a positive claim about god it is not questioned because it is immediately accepted as "truth" about god and that should never be questioned.

Unfortunately more people accept the writings in the bible as unquestionable "truth" and are more familiar with it than they are with science books and scientist. This starts at an early age for most of us perhaps as early as Kindergarten. It is also easier to blindly accept than it is to truly understand.

The only real truth is that which is understood and can be proven time and time again

Man thats gay. I hate that, they have no right to disrupt a funeral, man if I was one of the family members and my brother or whatever died, I would probably kill one of those people. They have no right.

Oh and I'm against rallies against gay people and calling someone a "homosexual, or a pile a sticks," thats very disrespectful, even though I don't think homosexuality is right, I'm not gonna harass them.

I'd be amazed if she's still alive. People like that need to be put down for their own good.

i think the real problem is that many ppl judge all christians based on the things only a few christians do..... (ferquezy) i am an unorthodox caatholic and i personally LOVE gta 4 dont ask how i got it :twisted: the point is just because some christians wnaa shove thier beliefs down others throats or hate everything doesnt mean the rest of us do.....
