Reject Christ and BibleGod

[3 to be 4]

Very well written. Anthropocentricity has always been the primary basis for "faith" in such things as contrived and concoted as God, and is the main reason why believers recoil in horror at open minds such as Darwin's, who was very exact in pointing out how we are merely descendants...as opposed to ascendants. This roiled the church and broke the conceptual chain of being for good. That must be a hard pill to swallow for the religious.

God "explains" the unexplainable. Our "soul" is merely a product of our self-awareness. And belief in the afterlife?? Well that is simply absurd.

What it boils down to is this: the meaning of life. In its strictest sense, it is simply to make more life. Every organism on earth has shared this trait for billions of years. In that sense, there is your afterlife: your genetic perpetuity.

"open minds such as Darwin". Interesting choice of words. Im not interested in getting into a debate on evolution vs creationism. But it has been the science crowd that has been more closed minded on this subject, not believers in creationism. On the school debate, it has only been asked that intelligent design be taught as an alternative, not an absolute, as in, some believe that..... The evolutionists have recoiled at such "open mindedness"

another example of liberal hypocrisy. Our way or the highway. See, for example, the issue of abortion within the Democratic Party. Liberals are great for preaching "open mindedness", unless of course you believe something different than them on a subject, and then you are branded a lunatic.

hey, as ive said many times, im no right winger. im against capital punishment, against the war in Iraq, for gun control, against the all the calls for amendments regarding marriage etc...

But that open mind comment had to be addressed.

as far as the afterlife stance, thats your right to believe what you believe. It doesnt make what someone else does absurd.

Do you believe in a God who slaughters babies?

Why do some hate on religion so much? Live and let live maybe? What's funny is that those who piss on people of faith, are the same individuals who simutaniously preach tolerance.

Well, then clearly to be open minded we have to have all competing opinions presented in science class. Is that what you are saying?

You seem to be drawing an equivalency between evolution by natural selection and intelligent design.

Darwin was open minded as he wasn't convinced that the church had all the answers. When he started formulating his conclusions, he drew them from rigorous observation of the natural world...not from some man's opinions. Thats pretty open when you think about it.
