Superstitious nonsense. Try blood-letting. It's all the rage in Europe...

This 'joke' of yours (in response to the post it was a reply to) is both ignorant of what Christiantiy is, and what its followers have in the past, and now believe. You are ignorant of Christianity because you have naively swallowed what you have been taught in school about Christians by leftist historians and text writers.

And it is arrogant in it's mocking of those who differ with you, intellectually and logically, and not because you are not a man of faith......you are.........you have great faith if you believe in the impossibility of evolution. But you are afraid of those who challenge your particular belief system, so you mock them.

I stand by my post that it is you evolutionary zealots who are the ignorant and arrogant.

You have some serious mental problems if you can conclude that from a joke about blood letting. I was joking about the prior state of medical "knowledge." I mentioned neither Christian, Christianity, or Christian beliefs.

Ha ha ha. This is the standard "everyone has faith" b.s. I have no problem is someone wants to challenge evolution with science. No problem. But since challenging science with religion is pitiful. It makes a mockery of science, and humanity's quest for knowledge. Some appear content to wallow in the ignorance of superstition for fear of having to contemplate life without their emotional security blanket. So if you infer any mockery from my posts, I can only say they are a mirror of that which you put out there.

You are quite brave, standing by an opinion. You should get a medal... (That's more of that mockery.)
