% that accept evolution per state

[CabVet]

In that same vein, I've always found this comparison interesting.

Haven't noticed that one before, thanks!

Divorce rates are also higher in those red states.

Didn't know that one either.

 

[USincognito]

Alright! Texas is above 50% and I'll take that.

 

[Gracchus]

No ... God was just kidding when He said ...

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

But God didn't say that. Whoever wrote 2 Timothy said that. Of course, he may have been quoting, but, if so, he seems to have left out the citation.

And, just as a matter of curiosity, when did you get fed to the lions?

 

[Gracchus]

Just like all 12 of Jesus' disciples, who died a martyr's death.

I have heard that stated, but no one has ever pointed me to any Bible verse or historical record that indicates it to be true.

Can we have at least one freakin' thread where everyone doesn't allow AV to make it all about himself?

 

[CabVet]

Coincidence?

 

[TheBear]

So, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that the states that have less people that accept evolution are those with most fundamental Christians, right? Since those people are all blessed, their states should also be the ones with the best economy and quality of life and lower crime rates, right?

God moves in mysterious ways. And, who are we to question the mind God?!?

Next!!!




(Sorry. Those are the rules.)

Just be grateful that Michael hasn't shown up with his "Electric Universe"!

Please don't jinx us.

Michael is adeptly skilled at taking any topic and turning into a lecture on EU.

You will find a strong correlation between; the higher the education, the greater agreement with the TOE and the less likely someone believes in a God.

The limb you walked out on fell crashing to the ground 1000's of years ago. Jesus was not rich, did
not have workman's comp or any other job benefits. Your complaint is the one that crucified Jesus
due to a lack of power and riches that the "savior" was supposed to bring.

You're good with the bologney.

Okay ... thank you.

Really?

So God kills random innocent people and destroys their property because some politicians who they had no connection to and no influence over had some meetings about peace?

REALLY?!

Yea, nice guy huh?

Quite. Not the God I believe in.

For me, I would have to question the motivation of anyone who would.

To me, that would be a God who is like the kid who uses a magnifying glass, to burn insects using the sun.

Who pays their salaries?

 

[florida2]

Who pays their salaries?

So by obeying the law and paying taxes (which, incidentally, Jesus told us to) everybody is to blame for everything those politicians do and can be put to death by God?

Why didn't God just kill the politicians and just their property if he was so angry about what they were doing?

Just don't tell me there's "no connection to" and expect me to believe it.
