what?This is in regards to a specific Pentecostal church as featured in the movie "Jesus Camp", not all Christians.

Im not looking down on you nor do I visit digg. What I am seeing is misinformation and people discussing a topic they arent that familiar with.For example, many on this site will surely state that their religion is right and all other religions are wrong. When one asks how much they actually...

One text book on religion doesnt cut-it. Its a good start, but nothing you will learn in a generalized textbook will be enough to carry-on an informed conversation.The "Z" religion is Zoroastrianism.The rest of your response in regards to various religions is full of bias and reflects a lack of...

Indoctrination = brainwashing.Kind of like how Muslim terrorists are indoctrinated by Jihadi rhetoric.It implies leaving little if no room for rationality and opposing views or alternate explanations and relies on threats, fear, and promise in-order to keep the adherent in-line.

^ There is quite a bit of misinformation and mis-application in there about evolution. Have you read a science book on evolution from a non-Christian source? Have you ever personally chatted with a scientist?

How are Christian nations physical descendants of the house of Israel? What does that mean?

What are your thoughts on this film and the Pentecostals who speak in tongues?Do you agree with indoctrinating children at a young age in religion (which is different from simply "teaching them") or do you think that indoctrination is bad and that they should eventually make up their own minds...

-You are right, stating that Christ did not exist is revisionist history. That is why I do not take it too seriously. It is no more plausible than Judaism being older than Hinduism or Buddhism coming from the OT.-So it helps both parties in a discussion if you keep revisionist history out of...

What you're all referring to when you speak of "adaptation" is actually "micro-evolution" and it constituted 100% of Darwin's observations.The fundamental problem with "macro-evolution" (the notion that one species became another through micro-evolution) is that it:-Assumes that there are no...

1. Evolution cannot be proven in a test tube (Only adaptation (micro evolution) because scientists have seen it happen with their own eyes). Evolution is just a logical explanation of our existence for those who do not want to believe in a God. ID also cannot be tested in a lab. Yep, but ID has...

Well, reality is complex. Complex systems have complex answers.

Who wrote that quote in your signature?

You call much of what I share as revisionist history, yet you offer no foundation for this claim. Do you not realize that the majority of the history before Christ time is speculative at best lol. Contrary to your belief, the worlds history does not revolve around the birth and existence of...

Im not a Christian. All I stated is that I have a personal relationship with Jesus. I do not believe in the Bible.Anyways, most of what I stated is scientific fact. The only "theory" part was in reference to the singularity. So its not so much a belief-system but more-so established...

It is a Biblical Fact. And if you deny the word of God then you deny God. Naa.One can embrace God and deny a book, because a book isnt God. God is. Which means you have no legitimate reply. You got it. No legitimate reply exists to an illegitimate proposition. If everyone adhered to their own...

We are all "sludge". Every atom that is "you" was once someone else, a chair, a rock, a dog, and before that a planet, an asteroid, a star, cosmic dust, and before that condensed into a singularity. When you die, all that is "you" will transition into something else (your ear atoms could end...

Fact not opinion You cant seem to tell the difference Still along the same lines as you reap what you sow and the Christians are born again when they trully become Christians. Thats only according to the born-again flavor of Christianity, which you seem to think is the only true Christianity...

Yes Robin, it was the Buddhists and Daoists who enslaved the Africans, slaughtered the native Americans, discriminated against the blacks, initiated the inquisitions, crusades, burned witches at the stake, and conquered most of the known world through force (those pesky Arabs, Turks, Persians...

God isnt testable in a science lab, evidenced via philosophical arguments, or even able to be proved via mathematics.All of the systems of logic or math that have been laid out to evidence God preach in a pantheistic or monistic God, which is not the same as a monotheistic God, and is...

Well, historically speaking the people most close-minded about other religions are the ones who were most capable of horrific acts of violence.A brief synopsis of European/American-Christian and middle-eastern-Islamic history proves this assertion correct.
