Powerman said:I didn't mean to degrade all people of faith. My parents and most of my family are catholics but they are not "bible beaters." Bible beaters are the people that I see on campus every day in free speech alley that are wearing cardboard signs on them that say all Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, etc. are cult members that are burning in hell. I'm talking about the people that ask you if you have been "saved" and tell you that you will burn in hell for eternity if you don't follow their path which is one of strict literal interpretations of the bible. These people are complete lunatics and we should go about our lives with complete disregard for anything anyone this over zealous has to say about anything. I realize most Christians are nothing like these people but if you are one of these people then you can go fuck yourself for all I care because you are no less insane than David Koresh or anyone in his cult was.
Dude, I want you to think for a minute. WHERE, in all of your threads on the topic, have you seen me post any religious doctrine? I haven't condemned anyone to Hell, and the only thing I have condemned you for is not opening your mind.
I've been saying for two days what you finally posted in the other thread. Leave ALL theories of origin out, or include them all. Personally, I think none of them are science, and should be left out.
Evolution IS science and should be taught as such.
As far as condemning people and/or preaching to them .... I believe what is between an individual and his Creator is just that. I will answer for my sins, not yours. What you choose to believe is not my business unless you make it so.
