Psalm 22:7

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],

22:8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

Thank you for the wonderful, prophetic verses! All of these things hapened to Jesus the day that He was crucified. Although I have no idea what you think they mean, I and my friends know and treasure, the full meaning. Thank you again!

"Well, here we have little evidence that the evo crowd is outraged by the abortion practices in the western world."

There is little evidence that you know what you are talking about. Since these threads almost never talk about abortion, who on earth can you make such an unfounded statement? We don't see a lot of outrage on these crevo threads about illegal immigration either. You know why? Because this isn't a thread ABOUT that, just as this isn't a thread about abortion, or infanticide.

Can you believe this thread?

This thread is a fault line.

If you take time to study Mollech, you will find him eerily similar to Satan. If you reject Christ, then Satan is your guy, or god.

IF there is a God and that God is reality, regardless of any of our beliefs, would it be a "good thing" or a "bad thing" for all the world to believe in this God?

That's a childish question.

"Actually, it's the stoning to death of kids that really get my goat. But if you're cool with that...."

Ahhh. Long time no ping RWP!! No need to bait back and forth needlessly. We know you apply pure rationalism to what you read, and I apply, well, wisdom to what I read.

I'm curious; given you know first hand what the london tube bombings were all about (I followed the threads carefully and appreciated your on the scene reports) and must have a greater appreciation of how life has changed courtesy of the jihadists, and given such individuals who conduct such madness need to be confronted w/ great violence, violence greater than stones ... do you think kids milk fed on rationalism and scientific reasoning grow up to be fine warrior men? And if so, do you have a resource showing us Christians, who seem to produce fine warriors by the bushel, how we should replace the warrior ethic of God, with the warrior ethic of, ahem, Darwin?

Honestly, First Imperative Kantian types don't seem to leave much literature behind regarding why a 'warrior' must fight, and especially why an intelligent rational type should risk losing the chance of passing on his genes fighting an allah crazed nut.

" There is little evidence that you know what you are talking about."

Please. I'm talking about the evo players here who spend day after day looking for entertainment here on these threads, but the abortion threads .... why these players have nothing to say as a rule.... the evidence is their presence of their silence on the matter...

But of course, evolution and its teachings have had zero impact on 40 million kids not drawing a breath. I keep forgetting that 'fact'....

I know what they mean as well as anyone. I also know you're afraid of the truth. Giles Corey was crushed to death by stones, for refusing to stand trial as a witch. Good Christian men, probably not all that different from yourself, stoned to death an eighty year old man in Salem, Massachusetts, in September of 1692. September 19, to be exact - 313 years ago come Monday. Chew on that for a bit.

We are here trying to discuss science. Hopefully the lurkers will take away something from the debate. Obviously 99% of the creationists are a lost cause.

I repeat, your assertion was complete nonsense.

"But of course, evolution and its teachings have had zero impact on 40 million kids not drawing a breath. I keep forgetting that 'fact'...."

No doubt. I am sure you have forgotten a great many things.

"Obviously 99% of the creationists are a lost cause."

Isn't in nice to know that 99 percent of the creationists would also never say the same for 99 percent of the evos??

You folks are just one small step away from experiencing what we have experienced. You may not recall, but I once was a die hard evo, a 'eureka' type after I dissected that oh so famous fetal pig in college... I bought it all hook line and sinker.. but then ... I took that small step.

Funny, why is it a one way street? Why is it you hear so few rationalists who, as Christian Creationist Adults, throw it away and take that one small step into scientific rationalism, and then enthusiastically join PH's posse?? I mean, you gotta admit, it feels GREAT on your side of the fence, yes?? So why is the magnetism so weak?

They deal with faith; we deal with facts.

"Funny, why is it a one way street?"

It isn't.

" I mean, you gotta admit, it feels GREAT on your side of the fence, yes??"

It's always nice having the evidence on your side. As my tag-line says... :)

" It isn't."

Can you name one Freeper who is willing to discuss what it used to mean being a typical bible thumper, who then traveled into the light of reason and now 'gets it'? That is why I said it is a one way street... - I have seen it many times in the example of my direction, but don't witness examples ever in the other...

That assumes that when people start to understand evolution and agree with it, they automatically discard their religious faith. It's a childishly simplistic assumption.
Why do you ignore the many evolutionists here who ARE Christian?

"That is why I said it is a one way street... - I have seen it many times in the example of my direction, but don't witness examples ever in the other..."

You just haven't been looking hard enough.

I think ol' blue has learned to spew irrelevant verses rather than learn anything.
