Sunnybeach7 - Re: Gome, Wow...
What do you say to someone that is a proponent of a belief that has dissapointed 80 or so consecutive generations? There is simply nothing that can be said. If they are able through desire and willful blindness to think that somehow their generation is the one that will finally see ridiculous fairy tales become a reality, they are simply in need of professional help. I am not a mental health care professional so I tell them to piss off and go sell crazy somewhere else. A flying Jewish zombie is coming to earth to rescue only them and their little band of knuckleheads with his supernatural powers. . . . now isn't that special. When they begin tap dancing with glee over the notion of the world's destruction, they are deserving of a good whup over the head with as heavy an object as is handy.

Gome, Wow...
So we are living in the end of times? I'm wondering is that perhaps the same end of times we've been living in for thousands of years?
"As if you are anything more developed than anyone else over the thousands of years" ... This statement makes me wonder why we're not all still living in a cave.

RedStatesMan - don't tell me you are also an end times knucklehead?
But then again, why would I be surprised?
I must say that your comments get funnier as they go along. I guess from your frothing diatribes, you are attempting to say that I am covertly working on behalf of an evil mythical character in a battle against another more powerful mythical character.
Nope, nothing primitive about that.

RedStatesMan - why do you waste your time like this?
How many times do you need to be told how obtuse you are?
It's obvious that you are incapable of understanding just about everything outside of your little narrow world view. The constructs that form the framework of your religion are primitive, that's just the sad and inescapable truth. There is no such thing as virgin conception, resurrection, the manipulation of matter with supernatural powers, or any of the other ridiculous things you insist that people must believe to be worthy of your respect. Your specific religion is about 300 years old and has almost nothing to do with the philosophies of its central icon. At least if hate filled chuckleheads like yourself are its spawn and insist on being its representatives.
Your insistence that people who do not share your childlike beliefs "believe in nothing" is nothing more than your inability to comprehend that there are people in this world that hold the same values that you do without having to subscribe to a truckload of nonsense to arrive at why these same ideals are important.
And for the last time . . . I don't live in your country.

Re: Gome,
Amazing at how people actually think they know everything. What is with people like you? You should run for president since you know everything! How is it that you do not know that we are living in the end of times, you know, the Book of Revelations? Please, demons, answer that question! Answer quickly because I know you know everything past, present and future!
Idiots!

Re: RedStatesMan - Re: You Do A Service To All!
By the way, I know fully well who you represent and I know it is your task to battle because you know in the end God will win. Your beliefs will not only be proven to be what they truly are but also will be defeated in the end!

Re: RedStatesMan - Re: You Do A Service To All!
I just love how everything in the past is classified as "primitive". As if you are anything more developed than anyone else over the thousands of years. I, too am in opposition to some of the mindless atheist who believe in nothing and their mindless stupidty. Then again like anything else in our nation, it's your choice!
Good luck with your beliefs!

Sunnybeach7 - what's so unbelievable about a wooden aircraft carrier built
by one man and all of the species on earth living within walking distance of it?
I remember a native boy in grade 6 asking the nuns what the lions and tigers ate on the Ark. He of course suffered a few whacks with a wooden ruler, great question, lousy answer I thought.
I don't really have a problem with people that believe in the existence of a creator being or God in general. I do take issue however, with the current orchestrated agenda creationists are undertaking to push this nonsense into the education systems and into society in general.

RedStatesMan - Re: You Do A Service To All!
I would imagine that there are a lot of things you couldn't imagine. I am only in opposition of some of the mindless stupidity associated with the proliferation of primitive religious beliefs within the society that I live. The fact that you find inspiration in this and feel that it somehow validates your unworkable worldview and the existence of your imaginary friends, I view as entirely your problem.

Gome,
I've seen articles similar to the link you shared. It really cracks me up.
It makes my mind race. This world is more corrupt than ever, and "God" let it last this long?
After the first what? however long it took Noah to come about, he decided to make this one very special guy a lottery winner and assign him to build a boat that could not POSSIBLY hold two-seven of every possible creature ever alive (including those alive today...as you know...God created everything in the beginning). And he was not only able to fit them all on his unsinkable boat, but house cages as well for them (did they find these on the ark? 
) so they wouldn't kill each other along the way.
This all makes me think that God slept in class... even a moron would know to just turn over the etch-e-sketch, wipe it all out and start over.

You Do A Service To All!
The mere fact that your
everyday posts about religion, the Bible and God, even though it is in opposition, validates the existence of all three. I can not imagine sitting at my computer
everyday and writing about the belief of atheism in any kind of connotation. I would not have much material to write about since the topic would be nothing. You do a service to all in that your posts make people think about God, the Bible and religion. Since you use the Bible many times in your
everyday posts that in itself vaildates the book itself. Thank you for your daily reminders that God and the Bible are obviously alive and on your mind as they should be.

Luz_Briar -the reason why we see such passionate, albeit erroneous efforts
to insist that dinosaurs lived with man is all about validation.
Existing dinosaur fossils pose a big problem in reconciling the validity of the Genesis timeline. According to the most popular of Genesis interpretations, the earth is about 6,000 years old. To place what science has determined are animals that became extinct 65 million years ago into this 6,000 year timeframe is the only way for some to adhere to the timeline. This is what I am referring to as backward thinking in this post. Observation and facts aren't used to determine conclusions, instead conclusions are manipulated into so called facts. It is all about not being able to admit that a book that appears to be simply the observations of our primitive ancestors is nothing more than that.
