Funny this religion argument,June 2005:Scientists profile whole genetic sequence of the chimpanze.Scientists around the world confirm the ancestry of humans.December 2005:Intelligent design, Dover trial, Pensylvania USA.Genetic profiling of apes confirms the ancestry of humans being direct descendants.Evidence accepted in court as fact due to "overwhelming evidence" provided.Based on DNA evidence religion is not allowed to be taught in Pensylvania state schools.FACT.

I truly feel for Christians; it's not easy to take on the impossible task of making sense out of nonsense and having to defend a tyranny and its archaic belief in the 21st century. It takes blind faith to have to go through life as an idiot just to defend a myth.

Of course they were influenced, but they were influenced by the desire to foster a knowledge of the unknown.Not by some bearded man in the sky.Either way, my point is this. Hundreds of religions claim that they know they're right. A large portion of those say that if you don't believe in that paticular sect, you burn in hell. (Or some version of it)Hundreds.So, Pascal's Wager (The arguement you just used against me) is simply void of logic.

All religions were influenced by one thing.Why do you think the snake/reptiles plays a big part in past cultures and religion.Go on Google video and watch "Credo Mutwa"It's a six hour long video on the "reptilians".

Well, if you wanna pull the Pascal's Wager card, I can simply say the chances of your pretty little myth actually being right are quite astromomical. Especially if you include the religions that have been here long before Christianity, Islam, The Norse, The Greeks, The Native Americans, The Chinese, The Japanese, The Hindu's, The Bhuddist (That's Debatable, but nonetheless spiritual).Blind Faith my friend, is by far an ironic gift to give back to the creator of Human Intelligence.

I bet I'm more intelligent than you.

What you found is ignorance, you found no God you found nothing, I am surrounded every day of my life with idiots like you who make the same claims, you are nothing more than a bunch of weaklings and cowards who hallucinate about things that don't exist just because they were told to do so. I see this all over the World in all religions and I have no tolerance for self inflicted stupidity. I am agnostic, but I find religious people nauseatingly dumb.

Science is a method of gathering information through the senses and logic. I'm not science illiterate. I found God through understanding and dissecting the Word of God.A big part of learning is believing.When I tell you to believe in God hand you a bible, that's the proof. Now you gotta take the second step and try to accept the proof. Your in fact science illiterate. I'm going to assume all atheist read the whole bible before making such ignorant statement.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
