  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  i just thought i'd share this story from my past.. back in the 80s i remember the big problem seemed to be about music.

  (today, it's tight pants, i guess) the organization, society, whatever they were calling themselves, were always going on about the music we listened to.

  disco, heavy metal, the whole "backwards masking" thing...couldn't escape hearing or reading about how satan was corrupting us unless we were listening to kingdom melodies or elevator music.. i was assigned to wtf in the late 80s and remember one of the articles stating that "young people know that the rhythm of rock music is the rhythm of sexual intercourse.

  Brilliant!

  It was part of the Satanic Panic that originated in Evangelical christianity in the '80s. I remember lists going around of bands that were deemed unsuitable. My pioneer partner got rid of a lot of stuff and then bought it all again a few years later.

  Natural disasters cause the most grief and misery today

  its not wars caused by satan and man.

  its hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and tornadoes!

  so the logical question is jesus showed he can control the weather when on earth.

  'Natural evil' proves conclusively that the god of christian theism does not exist.

  So many lies in that post it's not worth responding to apart from one detail.

  The only thing I criticise that I haven't studied is obscurantist French postmodern deconstructionism. All somebody has to do is read some of your 'there are no facts' posts to see what that nonsense does to your mind.

  Apart from that I make it a point to know what I criticise.

  I'm sure Hothead can look after himself without your faux outrage.

  By the way I see from your post yesterday that you are going back to the 'truth' yet again!

  Hothead is not an insult it's an accurate description of his posting style.

  I believe there is a supreme almighty God who name was YHWH. He has a son who he created called Jesus, and the Holy spirit is God's active force.

  Why do you believe those things Joe?

  Hothead - All of your ranting and raving, your sophomoric insults and your ad hominem attacks in this thread could be summed up with - 'there is still a lot more to learn about biological evolution'.

  And the appropriate reply would be 'And...?'

  for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.

  i never regretted this and never will.

  unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.

  Perhaps you could clear up any misunderstanding by stating what things you think we do now for sure about biological evolution.
