You wrote to f.Christian...

Got it now, or would you prefer a translation into monosyllables?

That's a pretty mean-spirited and arrogant statement from someone who ran away twice from MY simple question to you... So I'll restate it a third time:

You are a Catholic. And you disbelieve the Bible? If the Genesis account is a lie, then how do you know the Gospels are not also a lie? If Genesis is merely a vague allegory, then what makes you think Jesus Christ ever did or said the miracles and teachings He is credited with? If Genesis can be easily shrugged off, why not the Gospels, also?

Alright, perhaps I can ask you:

Do you agree that species evolve to adapt to their environment every day around us?

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off.
So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
He said, "Like what?"
I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"
He said, "Religious."
I said, "Me too! Are you christian or buddhist?"
He said, "Christian."
I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?"
He said, "Protestant."
I said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?"
He said, "Baptist!"
I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?"
He said, "Baptist church of god!"
I said, "Me too! Are you original baptist church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?"
He said,"Reformed Baptist church of god!"
I said, "Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?"
He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!"
I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.

It was in reply to one in which i was asked if I had some sort of reality distortion disorder.

Why you believe that you can bullyrag me into some sort of repeat of the Reformation is beyond me. The body of Catholic dogma is on line. If you're sincere, go study it.
