Get your flame suit on. Not everyone who believes in evolution will do evil things to other people. However, if you bring up the correlation by some who have used evolution as a justification for their evil you will be flamed for it. I agree with you. If we are nothing more than highly evolved animals with no purpose and this is all there is, why should I care about the rights or feelings of others? Most people who believe in evolution are good people with good morals however they are acting inconsistently with what they believe.
ya marry as many wives as ya can...and create lots of little Mormons......(sorry, I could'nt resist...)
What do Mormon's believe about other religions?
TheMarxists, Communists, Darwinists, whatever shade of red they are, want to force everyone to believe as they believe which is basically that mankind does not get our inalienable rights from our Creator. They want other men, in the form of big government, the State, to rule over us completely.
They have realized that to achieve these ends, they must target certain groups,and belittle them, make them to appear as troglodydes, luddites, knuckle-dragging ignoramuses. They use peer pressure to enforce the bullying.
Like the homosexual agenda, they learned that the only way to stop critical thinking, was to brainwash the school children, which is why they started classes in evolution in grade one. No child of six has the mental ability or social awareness to question the theory.
That they have "declared war" on a site such as FR, where freedom of religion,and freedom of thought still exists, shows that they are the intolerant ones.
There are some prominent evolutionists, (and their followers will scream in denial like howler monkeys when you present the writings) that want sex with animals, sex with children, and Christians in zoos.
Aside from the fact that you are 180 degrees out from reality, you are reinacting the very thing that caused this thread to be posted!
In the same way that law-abiding, conservative people are a "fringe" group in the USA. If we could just grow beyond our current 60% of the population we could really go mainstream.
It is best to ask them or some of the knowledgeable ex Mormons about that.
Yeah, I can see why they would have a problem with confronting Eric Harris and his belief system of Darwinism.
Read the original article we are discussing. Calling me a 'Darwinist' (why not an 'Einsteinist', 'Copernicanist') and denying the right to be defined as Christian also constitutes a personal attack. With one thing I can thus definitely agree: let us keep it civil.
As for "That is your opinion." - well, you have a problem. Science is not just a set of isolated findings. Findings from many different areas of science are interconnected and consistent with each other, and the theory of evolution comes as part of the whole package. Moreover, on the basis of this package we developed technology, and we can see that it works. This supports MY opinion.
Ok, I thought you might know. Your comment made me wonder and I just didn’t have enough time today to sift through Google results. :-)
How did matter create itself?
Hear! Hear! THE MAN!
Hear! Hear! Amen! And God Bless America!
As a Catholic and a Christian (yes call me other than christian...go ahead make my day)...I believe in a divine creator and old earth evolution....and my religion recognizes both...
because the lord does work in mysterious ways....
molon labe...
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!
his FRINGE belief, professed only by some FRINGE Protestant sects, defines one’s conservatism and faith, and denies Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, Mormons etc. the name of Christians.

Don’t lump everyone together there. There are those who believe God could create through Evolution, yet limit the title “Christian” to those who accecpt traditional Christian doctrine, like the Trinity and the Atonement of the Cross.
I have no problem, based upon basic theological tenants of accpeting Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, as Christians.
I do draw the line at Mormons, JW’s and a few other groups, and will deny them the title Christian, based upon their THEOLOGY.
But I suppose you think I am “fringe”.
