Like you would really know. You obviously never had the will to look for it.

I was raised as a Protestant.

Brainwashed? And how many times is that that you have insulted me?. . . I can't recall me ever insulting you, so please don't do it me. Thank you. I'm glad we have an agreement. Be .

You insult the intelligence of man with your drivel.

So what you're saying is the bible does not contain the wisdom and beliefs of God, but other people unrelated to God then?

(Quite frankly i knew this would hit me when i made that argument, i used to fear this argument)

The Old Testament has very little that i feel is relevant. It It was written by people who felt they were transmitting god's will to paper and by historians of the Jewish people (mostly jews at least) I instead focus on the new testament, the story of Jesus's life which was checked by several people, as there are 4 valid, non conflicting versions of it (assuming i can count) I obey the 10 commandments as God Wrote them himself but mostly focus on begging forgiveness, which jesus preached. What i'm saying is yes, the old testament very much is written by people like those described in ur post. And No i rarely trust 'em either.

As to what it matters, it might explain the juvenile nature of your thinking process. I was envisioning you as around 12, though. By 16 most people are able to see the obvious results of applying their own logic to those with different beliefs, and have thus started on their road to discovering the basis of a fair moral system.

And how old are you? by your own calculations i'd say 12.

Well, good luck in the afterlife then. I suppose you were never a good Protestant. Probably rebellious. You remind me of my little brother.

I disagree with many men.

And where did you get the idea that God didn't create manking through evolution, then?

No, I was never a "good protestant".

I was born something that the church frowns upon. We got off on the wrong foot, the church and I.

I'm hardly rebellious. Anything but. Most people on here probably know that by now.

Well that just proves you are the spawn of Satan!

Cloud9, I'm a Christian and probably agree with you on many points, but I don't see how evolution goes against Christianity.

I commend you, that is an excellent point.

The CounterArgument:

If Evolution Was how a sentinent race was created by god then death was in the world before sin. As the Wages of sin are death it is illogical that death entered the world before sin.

Not so. And what does that have to do with religion anyway?

You posted a thread a while back saying you were going Linux-only.

And it had to do with your silly "you were raised religious and aren't now, so you're rebellious" argument.

Could this be reffering to spiritual death? As in seperation from God?

That's the worst theological argument I've ever seen, and I've read Thomas Aquinas.
