  Everyone should abide by his/her own conscience.

  Which is what I do, which is why I had/have no problem celebrating.

  That's what I believe anyway.....

  Religion Explained

  this is about the most ambitious book title i can remember.

  religious studies have been able to collect and present millions of facts about the world's religions, and made a lot of fascinating general theories about belief, myth and rituals, but it would be stretching the truth a lot to say that any general theory of religions stand out as totally convincing.. so far, nobody has even been able to produce a totally convincing defintion of the word "religion".. but if anyone can produce a book actually explaining religion in a credible way, it must be pascal boyer.

  i read his book the naturalness of religious ideas: a cognitive theory of religion for my master's exam, and it was really an eye opener in many ways.

  Jesus is watching you

  by Earnest in

  1. social
  2. humour

  a burglar broke into a home and was snooping around when he heard a voice whisper, "jesus is watching you.".

  he paid no attention to the noise, assuming it was his mind playing tricks on him.

  however, after another minute or so he heard the refrain again: "jesus is watching you.".

  Problem: These are NOT substantiated FACTS supported by the FOSSIL RECORD. These are 100% hypothetical WISHES.

  Because this is a HUGE problem with the evolutionist. It seems a SHITLOAD of MICROBE Bugs came on the FOSSIL scene of things in ONE FELL SWOOP. BANG.

  "Houston, we have a shitload of decomposers, please advise."

  The other problem with evolution and bacteria is THEY SPREAD LIKE A RAGING BASTARD.

  Go study these little bad asses of biology. There is NO WAY any THEORIZED life form LESSER than a bacteria could have survived the BARRIER WALL OF THE BACTERIA.

  From Berkely again:

  Bacteria are of such immense importance...capacity for rapid growth and reproduction.

  Jan, I'll back off. I AM an arrogant no good SOB sometimes. That's one of my many faults.

  Enjoy the thread, I'm outa here.

  Adios!!
