someone's deep belief in a fairy tale doesn't end the discussion. rational people need to stop walking away from the topic. many christians have no problem understanding that a parable can carry morale truth without being factual. you can believe in god and still know the books of the new testament were written decades to centuries after the historical jesus died and chosen for inclusion by people with a political agenda for a strong centralized church. the books of the old testament are no different. anyone who believes god stopped the midday sun in the sky (written at a time when people thought earth was the center of the universe) don't understand celestial mechanics. treat creationists with the same respect you would someone who insists they've been kidnapped by aliens and want to teach your kids about that at school.

Its an honorable thing to have faith IMO... but no way that stuff belongs in classrooms! If you want to learn about it in school - go to a private Catholic or Christian school.

YOU KNOW NOTHING! I'm sorry. You know nothing. Because I want to know who made the black hole...that's my question to science...and how God had no beginning and will have no end....and that He is everywhere. The last one I can maybe buy---a little. They both have bu-choo 'splaining to do.

After reading a few articles on state laws limiting voting rights, and debate on the definition of "mental incompetence", I do agree with rescinding the right to vote for reasons of diminished capacity. But, we don't give out competency exams when people register to vote.
Would a belief that the world is round, or belief in creationism be sufficient to prove diminished capacity? What is the IQ cut-off? How about past drug/alcohol use?

 In all seriousness, I'm not a big fan of MY *****'S SOOOOO HOT. She did a fine job with her speech at the RNC, but since then everything out of her mouth is like trying to listen to SkidsMother... but the opposite view ya know. My vote hasnt changed, I still like Johnny boy- but I've conceeded the race to Obama and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and support him while he's leading this place (A job I sure as hell wouldnt want at this time in history).

i loved this post god. so glad to know i'm not alone. matter of fact, i think a lot of people doubt far more than they let on--it's the better dead than different, follow the pack mentality. not sure how often i've heard ' play it safe, and believe'-so they're generally faking it as well.

On the other hand...let's not bag people who have strong faith, either, such as the can do no wrong Dumars has the season.
Maybe what you really believe is what comes to pass. How would we know? Could you see yourself standing there pointing out airplanes to a homo erectus and then explaining to him how this radar set makes it all so easy?
