“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.
“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?”
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.
“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.”
You don’t read YEC posts, do you? Really, this is a scream.
Despite your veneer of depth and sincerity, your post does not advance the conversation. Instead, you are behaving as an Alinsky leftist in attacking me and questioning my sincerity for daring to ask the question.
Will you have the integrity to answer it?
I find it most interesting that those who object to other's perceived judgment of themselves, as to whether they are Christian or not, have no compunction about turning around and doing the very thing that they condemn in others; that is, judging whether someone else is Christian or not.
Evos get in such a snit about being judged as to their Christianity, and turn right around and judge others.
There's an awful lot of *Do as I say* coming from the evo crowd.
