Holly, it appears you've driven our little creationist over the edge. She's trying to bury you in 'scripture' (as if we didn't see THAT coming.)![]()
Youwerecreated has a habit of assaulting people with bible verses when the proselytizing thing is not working. What he doesn't understand is that gods are a lot like the weather...
Every god, with time, is swept away and looked upon as myth.
Where is the worship of Osiris? Of Isis,worshipped for 5,000 years. Where is Zeus, Odin, Jupiter? Where are the Druids, now as silent as Stonehenge, as cold and as silent as the Sphinx.
Dust, all. Antiquities. So it will be with Jehovah, Allah, Jesus, Vishnu.
Its already happening, and as science makes them less relevant, we see the rise in fundamentalism. Why is Islam so reactionary? Because its adherents sense all around them the growing tide of humanism. Islam defames the U.S. and Russia and other nations as godless because well, because as time goes on we do grow more godless. And as time goes by, and gods dont return to this earth, as gods dont prove salvation, we grow yet further away from fantasy and fiction. And that terrifies the believers. Deep down, they know there is only faith and belief to support the belief. As mankind grows in scientific knowledge, those things once ascribed to the gods are taken away, leaving the gods to sit and judge, nothing more, and even of that, only the dead, a state of being no one ever returns from to testify whether or not the claims are true.
