| 837340 | 2009-12-08 10:08:00 | I always liked this summary of the issue, holloway.co.nz Interesting. Over 600 obscure and not so obscure Gods, and they left the Christian deities off completely, along with a few others. This site (www.lowchensaustralia.com) has even more to choose from. Christianity has always been a strictly minority viewpoint, which makes it all the more ludicrous and pointless. In the eyes of the majority of the world's population, Christians are simply backing the wrong horse and are in for a big surprise when they front up to the Big House and find the gate locked and a sign saying "No Christians Allowed". But they won't be alone, there will be plenty of others in the queue behind them. :o Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Can't remember who and what exactly was said, but it goes along something like this: "For no other reason than religion are man more ready to kill" |

They will probably be told "Sorry, it was only a lifetime warranty." :banana |

I wonder if I could sue the education board and my old school Ngatimoti for forcing us into Christianity lessons with vicar from Mot. The blardy catholic kids didn't have to do it, while we getting stories about JC the catholic kids were running around outside playing we could see them from the classroom. I wanted to be a Catholic back then. I have a very religious Aunt who has had so much **** happen around her got no help from god yet she remains steadfast in her belief in a useless god. |

Mate,the capacity of people to believe anythingis beyond me. e.g Blowing people up is the way to go, we are entitled to bleed these m****s till the end of time, we as mothers are entitled to a living paid for by taxpayers, etc,I am sure we can all add to this endless list! |

Using science you can trace yourself back to an ape. 'Nuff said. sarel That is a very one-eyed view sarel. I can think of a considerable number of people who, in time, may be able to trace themselves forward to an ape. If they are lucky. This will indeed be a major evolutionary leap for a minor sub-species of hominid, most of whom infest internet chat forums and speak (if we can call it that) a primitive variant of homosapien man's language. Apart from that, after a limited number of generations, genealogical history becomes the stuff of myths and legends and therefore is largely bunkum, especially in relation to tracing back to a single ancestor. Of course to hold the "single ancestor" view, one must of necessity be a creationist, because evolution involves a time scale and developmental process that precludes tracing back beyond a few tens of generations at most, because you very soon run out of written language, rock carvings or any other reliable form of genealogical record. If only Adam had owned a typewriter.:( However, diversity of opinion is a wondrous pageant to behold, so whatever keeps you warm at night.......... Cheers Billy 8-{) PS Richard Dawkins' book "The Blind watchmaker" is a great read. His explanation of evolution is wondrously lucid and easy to understand. Highly recommended. |
