Why worry about global warming?

[Nathan Poe]

Why do you always insist on only having the most superficial understanding of the issues at hand?

I'm not sure he can handle anything more -- and I know he wouldn't want to burden of trying.

 

[mzungu]

Fine -- scrub the Temple then, but mzungu wants us out hunting witches before we even have the sacerdotal system in place.

We've got a LOT of work to do, to get these ... um ... paleoliteralists placated.

That is not true! Must I an avowed atheist be forced to support Christianity?

Perhaps if you read my posts you may comprehend what I am trying to convey to you and your creationist brethren.

If the Bible is treated as purely a spiritual guide then no problems of conflict between reality and faith exist. However I find it extremely hypocritical of the Bible literalists who insist on a literal interpretation of the Bible while at the same time ignoring, changing, misinterpreting, the Bible when it conflicts with reality.

Jesus was very clear on what he said " till heaven and earth pass away" means the end of the universe and not the death of John the Baptist or whatever else you people conjure up in order to justify the unjustifiable.

I find it shocking that the very people who are ardent supporters of a literal interpretation of the Bible are the very ones who ignore much of it and come up with self explanations in order to suit their views.


"It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17)


Jesus criticises the Jews for not killing their disobedient children according to Old Testament law. Mark.7:9-13 "Whoever curses father or mother shall die" (Mark 7:10 )
Jesus is criticised by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating. He defends himself by attacking them for not killing disobedient children according to the commandment: “He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.” (Matthew 15:4-7)

Mzungu, please answer these two questions:

1. If you think Bible literalists are being hypocritical, then why aren't you complaining that we are not sacrificing sheep and oxen to the LORD for peace offerings and trespass offerings?

2. Of all the examples to use, why are you using the killing of our children for being disobedient, rather than the much larger sacerdotal system (mentioned in question 1), which would make us ALL hypocrites, rather than just those of us who have disobedient children?

I've used this mindset of yours before, to show how the Muslims could have been prompted into 9/11.

It really amazes me when Bible literalists disobey or ignore the Bible or make up an excuse in order to suit their personal beliefs.

I shall not tire of saying that the Bible is not a text book it is a spiritual guide. Saying that the world was twice repopulated through incest is blasphemous to say the least.

Give up trying to make the Bible into a text book and use it the way it was supposed to be used; As a spiritual guide!

Leave science to the scientists and religion to the faith. The two are not interchangeable!

Suit yourself, mzungu.

Don't be surprised if I take your previous point with a grain of sand; even to the point of feeling privileged if you consider me a hypocrite.

 

[mzungu]

Sometimes people are misled into believing something that in effect makes them look hypocritical. I do not consider you a hypocrite but one who is afraid of loosing his faith or afraid of God's wrath if you deviate from creationism. The overwhelming majority of Christians do not subscribe to your creationist views.

But it is your right to to believe in whatever you want and I support your right. I may disagree with it but nevertheless it is my duty to uphold your right to freedom of worship.

Sadly I think you have totally missed my original point.

It amazes you? I find it pretty much the whole reason to be a "literalist."

Give up trying to make the Bible into a text book and use it the way it was supposed to be used; As a spiritual guide!

The problem is that spiritual guides aren't useful for helping one group of people feel superior or more worthy of respect than any other, so there's no incentive for "literalists" to use them.

Leave science to the scientists and religion to the faith. The two are not interchangeable!

Nor are they adversarial, except for people with sociological axes to grind.

Dawkins is one such person -- and unfortunately it distracts from his more important accomplishments.

our own "literalists" -- AV, dad, etc., are other examples; fortunately they have no other accomplishments to distract from.

I wouldn't worry about AV being afraid of anything like that -- "God" has never factored into his views except as a convenient means to an end.

Is it just me, or is that girl's head too big?

 

[[serious]]

kids heads are big. Looks in perspective to me.

 

[dad]

Well, the kids are not evos. It is natural that they have big brains.

 

[mzungu]

Evos? I assume you are refering to evolutionists.
Well i've arrived to my own theory based on your comment, and it is in relation to a creationists favorite subject... Dinosaurs!

You see, there existed a dinosaur known as a stegosaurus. Quite a large animal by todays standards, with triangular like plates down it spine and four spike like bones on it's tail. And dispite it's large size it had a small head in comparison to the rest of it's body, although still larger than that of a human's. And it is thought that inside this skull of a stegosaurus housed a brain no bigger than that of a dog, due to the skull's thick bone armour for protection against it's predators. And it's this small brain size that caused it to have much more instinctual behavior patterns, almost like "knee-jerk reactions", if you will. When it senses something it deems a threat, whether it is or not, it's natural "knee-jerk reaction" is to attack, swinging it's long spiked tail as a weapon.

I theorize that this picture shows a good example of a possible similarity between a creationist's skull and that of a stegosaurus. You see the an almost identical size between the skulls of the whole family, showing lack of growth over th years, more than likely a skull made up with thick bone for natural protection against a creationist's natural predators, intelligent thought and free-will.

And a good example of instinctual based behaviour is the knee-jerk counter attack of a creationist when faced by these natural predators, using it's favoured weapons, bible verses.

LOL!

Thank you, thank you, i'll be here all night

You are most welcome mate! Up all night? Having a party are we?

Well with all the sex, drugs, alcohol, child abuse, abortions, and blasphemy us EVILutionists are constantly doing when is there time to sleep?

I don't know some atheists have committed the mos heinous of crimes while sleepwalking:

By LINDA GEDDES
Nov. 28, 2009

A man strangles his wife while dreaming about fighting off intruders in his sleep.

Last week, British man Brian Thomas appeared in court on a murder charge after strangling his wife as they slept in their camper van.
The prosecution withdrew the charges after three psychiatrists testified that locking him up would serve no useful purpose. The judge said that Thomas bore no responsibility for his actions.



I bet you he was a Satanist evolutionist atheist.

 

[mzungu]

hope you don't mind, i ammended your quote

No problem but ye shall burn in fire and brimstone for forgetting to mention "Kitten eater" in your amendment

oh and all of the previous dinosaur talk got me in the mood to watch one of my old favorite series... jurassic park!

Mine too! I also loved Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks, the BBC docudrama SPACE RACE! You should see all the DVDs I have on Dinosaurs (BBC of course)!

If only I could go back in time and see dinosaurs!

You should see the BBC series Walking with dinosaurs etc. It starts at the very beginning before plants existed and the air had little oxygen all the way to T-rex!

LOL! If only the creation museum nutcases knew what a pack of velociraptors could do to a human when they were placing orders for the animatron fake godzilla look alike dinos!

Cheers mate!

 

[AV1611VET]

Just look out your window, evolutionist.

Kinda like calling a movie 'Jurassic Park', when it actually depicts animals in the Triassic; and labeling Tyrannosaurus Rex as "Tyrononnosaurus Rex"?

One is a Hollywood make believe film the other is a museum where children go believing that what they see is true. BIG DIFFERENCE there AV.

Did you ever see Spielberg's house?
People do not seem to mind that he did not exactly get it right.
If your going to be a revisionist, then you may as well get rich at it.
