Any religion that uses a Roman execution devise as it's symbol is at best suspect.

Nic, it is a characteristic of most creationists (note, not Christians per say).
If they are honest they have no argument. They will hurl insult
and point the finger, even use violence when you challenge their
belief system.
That is why I have Cuda and Buzz on ignore.
Others have posted arguments with substance. Agree or disagree
that is the makings of a good discussion.
Cuda and Buzz just say NO.

Re: "Thumpers" and "Bumpers"
Evolution vs. Creation
The origin of the species.
They are one and the same, and symbiotic with each other on a theoretical level.
Evolution: Did all the right chemicals come together at just the right time? Sure. Why not? There is just as much of a chance that it did happen as there is a chance that it didn't happen. And at mankind's current level of intelligence all the reputable science, logic and common sense suggests that it did happen. And on a personal level, I believe that it did.
Creation: Did a superior, more advanced life form create man? Sure. Why not? But I highly, highly, highly doubt it. At mankind's current level of intelligence all the reputable science, logic and common sense suggests that it did not happen. And on a personal level, I believe that it did not.
But here's the thing....
For the sake of argument let's say that I am wrong and a superior, more advanced life form created man. And lets say that man was able to prove the existence of that life form. Or better yet, lets say it popped in for a visit to say hello.
Would I be in awe of it's abilities? Absolutely.
Would I respect it's abilities? Absolutely.
Would I respect it's knowledge and give ear to every word it spoke? Absolutely.
Would I turn to it for guidance in things that I don't understand? Absolutely.
Would I consider it to be a God? Absolutely not.
Would I join a religion created around it? Absolutely not.
It would just be a more advanced life form than myself. Not a God. Just more advanced.
I believe in evolution. But if it turns out that I'm wrong, I'll roll with that.
I don't believe in creation. But if it turns out that I'm wrong, I'll roll with that.
It's like playing poker. You gotta play the cards you're dealt.
But what I absolutely, fully and completely DO NOT believe in is religion. In any of it's known forms.
Just my 2 cents.

You're not playing the cards that are dealt to you. You have picked the cards you want dealt to you.
I also don't believe you wouldn't bow to God if he made an appearance. Just like everybody else.
It won't happen though. It doesn't take faith when God is right in front of you. A baboon would believe then, and we know what baboon i'm talking about.
Keyboard bravery is comical.
Yeah, I know I was leaving this thread, but it's too funny to leave.
