Fine with me, I have no idea how many are fundamentalists, but most of the freepers that I know, do not claim that their religious beliefs somehow trump or compete with science, or are at all scientific, or can be PROVEN scientifically.

I find the Fundie claim that they can as hilarious, and downright silly.

The flood happened, not according to science, god made the earth in 7 days, not according to my science, Eve was a clone of Adam, and the earth is less then 10,000 years old, sorry, not according to ANY science that I know of.

You can believe what you want, it's fine with me, but to try and force your religious beliefs on science is insane, and I find some fundamentalist trying to do that as either A: insane or B: completely uneducated as far as what science is.

And GW may be what you would consider a fundamentalist Christian, but I do not see him trying to force any type of literalist interpretation on science, by cutting funding to scientific studies that might not show that genesis is literal.

I like religious people, they are some of the most trustworthy people in the world, because they have a principle to guide them, but when the principle becomes something to beat people over the head with and get fanatical about outside a religious venue, that is where the problem starts.

I don't enjoy being accosted in Pioneer square by a fundie with a Save the heathen attitude, I don't enjoy watching fundamentalists claim something is scientific, when in fact there is NOTHING scientific about it. I don't enjoy watching a fundamentalist that is supposed to be tolerant, attacking a person for their religious beliefs, just because they do not believe as the fundamentalist does.

As per you attacking cobaltblue in an earlier thread about being a christian etc.

I find the whole thing abhorent. But that's just me.

You guys are the ones that started this socalled flamewar, and then get all offended when we do the same to you, that which you do to us. I just have an easier time with it, because my religion does not teach turn the other cheek. If attacked I have EVERY right to A: go on the offensive, or B: defend myself. I have chosen to defend myself, with an offensive here and there.

Don't like my tactics, quit using them.

As per you attacking cobaltblue in an earlier thread about being a christian etc.

What are you talking about.? I never attacked cobaltblue about her Christianity.

Lastly, before I try this novel VI thing...

Welome to the wonderful world of the Internet where NO ONE can "force" Religion or Science (or really anything) on anyone. We Discuss. That is what discussion boards are for. If you don't want to discuss a "fundy's" biblical stance on science, then feel free not to.
