You claim dead bones in the ground can do something living animals can't.

But the only stupid person in this conversation is you. If you had been intelligent enough to learn what evolution actually said, then you would realize that it actually stated that we evolved from a common ancestor of ourselves and monkeys. Does your mom give birth to your cousins? The answer to that is the same as why monkeys don't give birth to people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181310363216013732.post-62719195056755057282013-01-04T13:04:47.820-06:002013-01-04T13:04:47.820-06:00Trolololololololololololololololololololololololol...Trolololololololololololololololololololololololololololoololololololololooolloloooooololoollololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololo... trolllololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181310363216013732.post-14352817312316181252012-05-11T14:02:28.231-05:002012-05-11T14:02:28.231-05:00Might want to ask one of them christians who Yehos...Might want to ask one of them christians who Yehoshua Bar Abba was.Sharlook Ohmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381015469909343158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181310363216013732.post-22773387380147756772011-04-28T19:48:20.391-05:002011-04-28T19:48:20.391-05:00RedRabbitter- Free will/Determinism are fields of ...RedRabbitter- Free will/Determinism are fields of thinking that I honestly have not dived into. From my surface knowledge, I support determinism, but I do not focus much energy into trying to explain why things end up the way they do. I think 'why' isn't always an appropriate question, as it can sometimes beg meaning when meaning isn't there. I may just do some reading and educate myself on the topic. Then maybe I'll post some thoughts on it just for you!

And may the god of your parents' religion kiss your boo boos!<br /><br />Your last statement makes me think of something I heard Richard Dawkins say. He was quoting someone who's name escapes me. I'm paraphrasing: "a friend asked me why, as an atheist, it didn't bother me to say a Latin blessing in church. I replied, "Though I will not utter lies, I will however gladly utter giberish."Opus Croakushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826705122952238359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181310363216013732.post-48199196193059783522011-03-22T15:44:19.450-05:002011-03-22T15:44:19.450-05:00thank you, I do feel 'surrounded by MORONS'...thank you, I do feel 'surrounded by MORONS', their supposed care and love for other people seems non-existent, their hatred for others who are unlike them (not just atheists) is hypocritical, and their illogical thinking is potentially harmful. The outlook of many of my peers and often my superiors, is that i'm mean and arrogant for thinking there is no god. So do I not have every right to feel angry? <br /><br />Some theists seem to believe that denying existence of a god is saying 'I am God'. There are no stereotypes of arrogance for fundamentalist Christians who are often much more assertive in their beliefs than atheists. Is it not arrogant to think that you're at the centre of the universe and are forever watched by an omniscient being you cares how you behave?<br /><br />Although, I will admit to smugnessRedRabbitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409779585308977587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181310363216013732.post-33911816520417214422010-12-30T16:06:31.469-06:002010-12-30T16:06:31.469-06:00The experiment isn't really an attempt to see ...The experiment isn't really an attempt to see if people have memorized their holy texts, but rather to shed light on peoples bias for their own faith by pitting nice and not so nice scriptures from both books against eachother. Since Cristians don't typically read the Bible for themselves, they are likely to be unaware of (or choose to ignore) nice little gems like Hosea 13:16. Therefore I predict Cristians will attribute nice scriptures to Yaweh, and naughty ones to Allah, regardless of which book the scripture actually came from.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Opus Croakushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826705122952238359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181310363216013732.post-47109780338299792532010-12-30T15:25:18.491-06:002010-12-30T15:25:18.491-06:00The purpose of this experiment is to prove that so...The purpose of this experiment is to prove that some people cannot memorize the whole Bible or the Quran? o.O Differentiating two books, especially ones with history based on a similar region and written long ago with so many versions, is a little tough.

Isolation for one's views can be frightening. If only freedom of speech were more than just an idea. The pressures that communities and families place on their members to conform is often insidious and camouflaged as love.<br />Also, it is impossible to legislate against.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511937095859100205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181310363216013732.post-54810166215571122332010-06-05T12:21:28.597-05:002010-06-05T12:21:28.597-05:00I haven't heard from any one regarding results...I haven't heard from any one regarding results for this experiment, most likely because not many people read my blog...
