The Fundies are profound hypocrites. They want to deny your children a good scientific education, but when they get sick, they don't go to their witch doctors with the pointy hats and incense bowls. Instead, they go to REAL scientists and REAL doctors who understand that evolution is real and proven. Any Creationist who sees an M.D. is a fraud and a liar. This isn't about truth, it's about POWER.

First, the Constitution doesn't authorize the government to be in public education. Second, the 1st Amendment does not exclude God from public classrooms. It only prohibits the government from making a law mandating us to observe their religion over another. And last but not least, we woudn't have a Constitution if it wasn't for the Declaration of Independence. And it says our rights are inherent to us from our Creator. So it's not just religious to teach about our Creator. It's political too !

she was so true when she stated that christians want a theoracy. nothing upsets them more knowing this country was created a secular nation not a christian nation.

Speaking as an academic with a doctorate in Three Bears Studies I have to say that I believe in the historical truth of a global flood which covered the Himalayas, the Andes and the Alps all at the same time. Goldilocks herself told me so.

@namkari Stating "Jesus was God in the form of man" is like stating, "Elves are the bastard offspring of leprechauns and the Easter Bunny." They both identify beings for which not a single shred of evidence – hard, real evidence, not justifications –exists. But at least in my version, that most favoured of human activity, sex, is clearly a part of the beings' system of reverence.

[Kaalec]

@namkari My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me was taken from the 22nd Psalm in which there is a very good description of what, according to the gospels, happened to Jesus – the crucifixion, the casting of lots for his garments. It was the gospel writers' ways of illustrating that Jesus was fulfilling prophecy. The gospel writers made sure their fictional hero was truly the son of God. They made up new lies to prove the old lies. But your interpretation of the gospels is pretty shallow.

Namkari - Jesus heaped with sin? But a retelling of Yom Kippur, the Jewish goat replaced by the Christian Jesus ,an atonement for sin and no less bizarre or irrational. Regards

It is impossible to feel "further away" from YOURSELF, which is what you're arguing Jesus went through. You're so indoctrinated that all you know how to do is mindlessly repeat the dogma that's been drilled into your head over your lifetime and never take a serious critical look at what your saying to see if it even makes any sense or is self-consistent.

[DarthServo]

Mere repetition of your beliefs without actually justifying any of them. You're making excuses, not debating logically. Jesus and God had different wills, thus they can't be the same being.

[DarthServo]

More admission that Jesus was NOT God, if God could understand something and the same time that Jesus didn't understand it. God doesn't need to "reveal things to Jesus" if God really IS Jesus. You're saying God is revealing truth to himself. Total nonsense.
