Why does this question scare the pants off of the YEC contingent (sorry, metmom)? You base your opposition to evolution on the grounds that it is antithetical to Christianity, yet most Christians, myself included, disagree. Our inquiries into your definition of Christianity are met with the starry-eyed regurgitation of megachurch Sunday sermons. Upon further inquiry into how you rationalize your “Christianity” with other denominations, eg, Catholicism, you refuse to take a real position. Why is that?
The question is relevant. As you (pl) continue to buttress your arguments against evolution with your arguable Christianity, we will ask the question. You may answer it. If you don’t, well, that’s an answer too, isn’t it.
Does this make me a troll on your home page now? I’ve been working real hard at it, you know...
“Why does this question scare the pants off of the YEC contingent (sorry, metmom)? You base your opposition to evolution on the grounds that it is antithetical to Christianity, yet most Christians, myself included, disagree.” Pardon me whilst I pull my pants up.
To which I say, a man who supposes this much about the thoughts of others with no proof is either 1. an idiot or 2. an evolutionist.
There is no fact at all in your anecdotal statement, but instead the same amount of supposition that resides in the idea Evolution is science fact instead of science fiction.

My real position is not to judge a man’s’ soul. I can only judge by what I see and there is nothing in the Word of God that makes you, I nor anyone else capable of condemning someone. I can’t read your heart, but if by your words you refuse to follow Christ as is stated in the scripture then I certainly believe you become a condemnation to yourself. That is your choice. My soul is not saved or lost through faith in a Pope or Priest any more than their souls are saved or lost by anything other than denying the foundational truths. Anything else is heresy... take from that what you will. Your constant prodding on this matter serves to show your true purpose here... to divide. You are as spiteful of Christians and Christianity as your words would suggest. I must admit I get a certain satisfaction from seeing your reaction. That’s one of the reasons I take the time to vent here as opposed to some other venue. I figure if you guys are busy on these posts, you might leave the rest of the site to those who support the country in the same light the Founders followed. I would be more satisfied, however if you would simply repent.
“As you (pl) continue to buttress your arguments against evolution with your arguable Christianity, we will ask the question.”
Still showing the incredible mass quantities of arrogance that flow through your veins, you do question the Christianity of others. You call the Christianity of another “arguable”. I say, if you serve another master it is through no fault of ours. And as for, “we will ask the question”... you got a mouse in your pocket? You speak not only for all Christians but for all Evolutionists? A man for all people, I suppose. Now aren’t you just mankind’s little spokesman? To borrow a phrase from another Evo, Now that’s purely twaddle.
“Does this make me a troll on your home page now? I’ve been working real hard at it, you know...”
I believe your troll-like existence goes far beyond the pages of FR, my rather smallish friend.
If you must, please cry “personal attack”. It’s all in a day’s work.
“You base your opposition to evolution on the grounds that it is antithetical to Christianity, yet most Christians, myself included, disagree.” [excerpt]Fail #1: you make a false assertion about the basis of my opposition to Evolution
“Our inquiries into your definition of Christianity are met with the starry-eyed regurgitation of megachurch Sunday sermons. Upon further inquiry into how you rationalize your “Christianity” with other denominations, eg, Catholicism, you refuse to take a real position. Why is that?” [excerpt]Fail #3: you make a sweeping generalization based on false attributions and apply it to a widely varied group. Such a broad and conjured brush does not give credibility to your assertions.
“The question is relevant. As you (pl) continue to buttress your arguments against evolution with your arguable Christianity, we will ask the question. You may answer it. If you don’t, well, that’s an answer too, isn’t it.” [excerpt]This is a continuation of fail #1, your presupposition is false.
“Does this make me a troll on your home page now? I’ve been working real hard at it, you know...” [excerpt]No, that takes guts. (just because someone might have a 2,000 horsepower turbo charged fan mounted porcelain throne, doesn't mean they are automatically anything more than an annoyance with an ego)
This does not *scare* anyone, no matter how much you might wish it does.
Nobody is afraid of the question, we just recognize it for the thread hijacking and trolling that it is and refuse to play your game.
Whatever any denomination's stand is on the reliability of the Bible and its interpretation of the Genesis account, it has nothing to do with the position before God of any individual member of that denomination.
Your whole line of questioning about whether an individual member of a particular denomination can or is Christian is thread hijacking, baiting, and out and out trolling.
It is not relevant to the topic of the thread, it serves no practical, constructive purpose.
Upon further inquiry into how you rationalize your “Christianity” with other denominations, eg, Catholicism, you refuse to take a real position. Why is that?
Because I am not playing your game. The same reason I've given you before.
The question is relevant.
No, they are not relevant.
