Out of about 100 anti-Evos who participated in the poll, only two engaged in massive fraud. But the most disturbing part of the story is that the remainder of their fellow ant-Evos never condemned them for their fraudulent behavior after it was exposed, AFAIK. That's even more disturbing than the 2% who were outright frauds.
The willingness of people, who purport to be deeply religious, to tolerate dishonesty among their own ranks is both inexplicable and appalling.
I take it you don't believe in Him?
I take it you have read too much into that sentence, and may well have missed the point to boot.
Here's a big giggle for ya, since you didn't have the decency to post the outcome. The IRS returned the 3 cars it seized.
You believe your own personal interpretation, you dont have the exclusive corner on what everything in the Bible means...all you have is your own very personal interpretation, which is all any of us have...I have mine, you have yours, the guy down the street has his, the President has his, and not one of us, can prove this his personal interpretation is the right one...not to the satisfaction of others who believe differently...
You believe one way, many others believe differently...to you, what you believe is the truth, to others what they believe is the truth....and that is the way it is...
Go to bed..it's been a long day arguing with those darned Creationists.
Thanks! And to you.
"You believe one way, many others believe differently...to you, what you believe is the truth, to others what they believe is the truth....and that is the way it is..."
No, that's the way evolutionists would like it to be - ie, to see Christianity fragmented. That is the whole purpose of these crevo threads.
Notice how much it takes to refute one of my arguments...a zillion words...of mostly extracted copied and modified rubbish.
Hey whatever gets you thru the night...
People can CLAIM they believe the Bible, but when they discard parts of it, they can not be said to actually believe it. And if the don't believe it, but keep claiming that they do, they're just plain old Schizophrenics or maybe just drunks.
"So keep telling lies about science, eleni121 -- it'll make it *very* clear to the lurkers which side is *actually* the one that engages in falsehoods, frauds, and misrepresentations."
A fool and Ichneumon are soon parted.
I believe in organized religion.
Did they take a personal check for the ten grand, or did you have to get a certified one?
OH, you are pathetic...first of all I am not Catholic, nor defending the Catholic Church...I was responding to what I felt was dishonesty from you...
Do you think having drink is sinful?...if so, you are really a very sad person..
For your information, I almost never drink any kind of liquor...we happened to be having some eggnog, and just put in a little brandy and so I decided to have a 2nd eggnog, and stay a little while longer on this thread...
And now, you are accusing me of being a drinker? Oh, thats rich...my husband and son would have a great laugh at your expense...this is probably about the 5th drink I have had this year...so you are obviously fond of making things up about people without any information...very interesting for someone who claims he believes in a Bible...You made no inquiries as to if I was drunk, or how many drinks I had....again, is having a drink a sin to you?...because if so, you are a sad, pathetic person...
Figures? you say...what does that imply?..that only someone drinking could defend the Catholic Church...that seems to be what you are saying...do you hate the Catholic Church?..because you sure sound like you do...
I said in an earlier post that I did not know your background but I would assume that the Pope has much more Biblical knowledge than you do...now I am sure, that I was right...
"People can CLAIM they believe the Bible, but when they discard parts of it, they can not be said to actually believe it. And if the don't believe it, but keep claiming that they do, they're just plain old Schizophrenics or maybe just drunks."

Well said. Are you listening Mumsie?
"mostly extracted copied and modified rubbish"
LOL - did you bother to read the information Ichneumon posted? I for one have never seen so much "copied and modified rubbish" as the mindless crap cranked out by creationists. Pot, meet kettle.
Show me a virulent anti-evo, and I'll show you an authoritarian blowhard. It never fails with these folks; sooner or later their bizarre obsession to control the behavior of others rears it's ugly head. Whether it's jamming non-science into biology classes or disapproving of you having an eggnog with liquorous spirits in it (Oh! the horor!), these self-appointed busy-bodies will not stop sticking their noses into your business.
Christianity is already fragmented...dont believe it?...just go on any religious thread on FR and watch all the bickering and name calling and such that goes on on all those religious threads...and evolution has nothing to do with it...
Everyone on those religious threads come from different religions or no organized religions and they argue constantly about what a word or a phrase means, or what religion is wrong or right, and on and on and on...
So evolution has to do nothing to fragment Christianity...its obviously been fragmented for a long time, and appears to continue its fragmentation, because even 'Christians' cannot agree...
You bury your head in the sand if you think evolution has anything to do with fragmenting Christianity...I lurked on the FR religious threads long before I lurked on the evo threads, and the antagonism on those threads was everywhere...
So dont blame evolution...Christianity fragment has been caused by the very Christians who claim they know the clear truth of the Bible, to the exclusion of everyone else...
What's really fun is when one of the religion forum regulars pop over to criticize the tone on the crevo threads, which they do from time to time. Talk about pots and kettles - that place is a snake pit...
Oh, so now you are a doctor deciding who is a Schizophrenic..creationists acting as if they are doctors seems to be a new trend...first prescribing meds, and now making a diagnosis...is this a trend?
Are you calling me a drunk?...because if you are, you are a liar, ,and you are bearing false witness...which would show, ,that perhaps you dont believe parts of the Bible either...
