Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Carey, you are equating evolution with atheism. Many christians accept the evidence for evolution, and have incorporated this in their theology. Perhaps you were unaware of this. Fortunately, I saw this thread and pointed this out to you. You now have the opportunity to apologize (humbly of course) to the christians you have insulted.
By the way, why do you celebrate christmas? All it really is, is an adaptation of the roman and pagan celebrations, with the obligatory added coca-cola reference.
For the rest, call me a sour grape but I did not think your story was particularly funny.

Did you? You are the one claiming that there was an atheist who started a lawsuit. Are you saying that you have absolutely zero evidence that this ever happened? And we are the fools?
When did I claim anything??

Oh, so you weren't claiming this actually happened? Because it certainly seems as though you were.
And if you weren't claiming this actually happened, the only conceivable point of this post was to insult people. Isn't that kinda non-Christian? Aren't you supposed to be taking the high road? That's about as low as it gets. For shame.

What makes you think I celebrate Christmas.
I as a Christian do not think any Christian should
celebrate Christmas ,easter ,halloween, birthdays,
Valentines day, or St. Patricks day.
I also dont think any Christian can believe that Humans eveolved from monkeys

I don't know of anyone* that believes humans evolved from monkeys either.
*with more than a kindergarten understanding of evolution.

Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."
