It is apparent that you haven’t done a very careful examination of various faiths- many faiths have a lot in common and differ only on moot theoological issues that have nothign to do with the core message of God’s word

If many faiths differ only on "moot theoological issues", then why your opposition to evolution? Many faiths, even many Christian faiths, the Catholic Church for one, have no problem with evolution. Why clutter up FR with "moot theoological issues" like Evolution?

There are many more interesting, and important, issues to be discussing on FR than one so divisive thats only a "moot theoological issue" anyway.

[[If many faiths differ only on “moot theoological issues”, then why your opposition to evolution?]]

I said moot theological issues- not major ones- many religions agree that God is true to His word and that when God said he created man in His image, He meant it- If some denominations wish to call God a liar by doubting His word- that’s not my problem, but the fact remains that many religions do infact agree on major theological issues

[[Many faiths, even many Christian faiths, the Catholic Church for one, have no problem with evolution.]]

You’re wrong on that- the whole catholic institution does not agree Macroevolution is fact- painting hte whole denomination as doing so based on a few that preach a different gospel than the one God gave doesn’t lend credence to your argument, nor does your twisting my words to mean I speak of an obvious major theological issue as being anythign but major.

Your mistake is using a broad brush to descibe people that hold no such views- there are many many catholics that do not beleive in Macroeovlution- just because some pontiff somewhere has abaondoned God and logical science to beleive a lie and declare that lie alright to beleive in does not mean every branch of catholicism believes that way.

I’m not here to defend one religion on the whole or any religion for that matter, but I am here to point out that your claim that religions don’t agree on anything- or even agree on most htings is not a factual statement. You can use whatever you like to keep yourself from believing, but at least be honest to both yourself and others about the reason you choose not to, and don’t use a general broad condemnation of institutions in a dishonest attempt to make it appear as though it’s ‘religion’s fault’ that you don’t beleive- Own up to you refusal instead of pawning hte blame off on something else.
