  Viv, as you know fundamentalist is a term that technically should only apply to a specific group of very literalist christians, but language being what it is now tends to be used as a pejorative term against any group of people considered 'extreme' in their views. Somehow I doubt you would be demanding Katewild explain herself if she referred to 'fundamentalist' Muslims, but if you must know, Katewild simply thinks Dawkins can be overly harsh on people who don't share his religious views, with examples provided in her post 503 (I also agree with her). Happy to help, I hope we can now go back to discussing the far more fascinating subject of human evolution.

  see the article here:.

  http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/18/the_wellcome_trust_is_funding_research_to_make_human_blood_from_stem_cells.html.

  blood could become much less scarce if a british research group succeeds in bringing a version made from stem cells to human trials, and eventually to market.

  And if the Society approves this, they will then no doubt take credit for inspiring it's invention.

  Everyone has agendas.

  Agreed, however I don't think there's a conspiracy anywhere quite as elaborate as the one justhuman is suggesting.

  You know you're basically saying the same thing as Jesus right? Have you really missed that?

  Why did Jesus tell the convict on the cross next to his, that he would be joining him in Heaven TODAY??

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe a silly question, but i'm curious about this part of the story of christ's crucifixion, when the 1 thief challenges jesus to save himself and "us too" from their deaths, but the 2nd thief rebukes him and pleads with jesus... .

  luke 23:42-43: and he said unto jesus, lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

  and jesus said unto him, verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.. .

  I didn't know Mormons believed in purgatory, that's interesting.

  my point is that people don't go to Heaven without first understanding the Gospel.

  'You are forgiven' is not that difficult to understand Cold Steel. What do you think the gospel is apart from this?

  An important difference between atheists and true believers

  by Hortensia in

  2. current

  true believers, whether christian, muslim or whatever, want to convert you, they want you to believe what they do, and they're willing to go to extremes to make it happen.

  atheists don't really care what you believe, and don't go out of their way to convert someone.. http://ow.ly/vn1jz an example of what believers in power do to suppress any difference in thought.

  http://ow.ly/vraeo an example of why believers want to suppress different ideas (because they can't win in a fair fight, that's why).

  I don't think most Athiest want to convert others, they just have no tolerance for religious dogma.

  Maybe this is a regional thing but actually I find most atheists are very tolerant, people just get on with their lives and rarely worry much about what the people around them think.

  Is the comeback that the 21st century's best known evangelist is probably the atheist Richard Dawkins?
