Just for once let us all try to be honest.

You do realize that the Adam and Eve story is a morality story at best, don't you?

No.

Your post indicates that your science education halted in middle school at best. Demanding that obviously false parts of the Bible "have to be true" only drives people away from your faith.

 

[Subduction Zone]

No.

Yes, we all know what you believe. You would think after all of these years here that you should be able to support it. Sadly you can't.

Ya ... we've seen what posting the Ten Commandments on public property does, or saying MERRY CHRISTMAS to an unbeliever.

People are "driven away" easily.

Just walk up someone's sidewalk with a Bible under your arm and watch their expression.

What a pity. There is a reason that your side always loses in court. There is no reliable evidence for a belief in creationism. Most people recognize that the Garden of Eden story is aimed at children and not adults.

I have no problem with people saying "Merry Christmas". But you would probably object to a Satanist display in the middle of your town on public land. And of course a Muslim one would not be appreciated either. You can't use government property to spread a religion.

Like Jesus did?

You mean forcing us to pay for your graven idols?

or saying MERRY CHRISTMAS to an unbeliever.

Only because All Holidays Matter.

Give yourself credit, AV -- you have a gift for it.

Wow... arriving uninvited with the intent to "fix" someone else's life with long-winded, unsolicited advice... yeah, how can that not end well?

A man, now you did it---what a mess to clean up!!!

We don't even know if the Jesus story is true. And since we wern't there we can't judge whether he was guilty or not in the first place.

Oh ... so you guys eek & ook about the Ten Commandments for our benefit, do you?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Oh my! You seem to have trouble understanding even the simplest of posts.

What part did you not understand? I may be able to help you.

 

[Subduction Zone]

What? In English please.

It appears that you may be making a false claim about others. No one on my side either "eek"s or "ook"s.

 

[AV1611VET]

We don't even know if the Jesus story is true.

Is that a YES or a NO?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Is that a YES or a NO?

It was a qualified answer. Not all questions can be answered with a YES or a NO.

I understood you clearly---thus my reaction. Or do you need me to explain it in simpler terms?

 

[AV1611VET]

What? In English please.

You guys want the Ten Commandments off the courthouse lawns, right?

For our benefit, or yours?

(We're the ones who put it there.)

Christian: Let's put this display up here.
Atheist: Better not.
Christian: Why?
Atheist: Cause the Muslims might want one up too.
Christian: We'll cross that bridge when ...
Atheist: Excuse me ... gotta go get some protesters.

Ya ... that seems to be pandemic around here.
