Hahahahahaha this thread is a blast. The first four or so pages I wanted to fight that kid and then tie him up, make him watch bruno, and then the discovery channel. This is summer NS at its best. While this kid is most certainly a troll (hopefully), it does make me rather sad and frustrated that there are countless amounts of real people that are truly this stupid. I do not even have a clever expression or metaphor or sufficient facepalm picture to fully state my mind on how wrong/unintelligent you are on too many levels. I also kept wanting to quote some of the stupid shit you (or is it your elders with a very false sense of any knowledge, even biblical) have said, but in each reply you post there is so much I could say, but I don't feel like writing a novel. Yes, I am atheist (who woulda guessed??), I however also live my life with the same sorts of morals as religious poeple do. Yes, I understand that the morals behind virtually any religion are all similiar and generally good (besides the many, many, many outdated morals which made sense 2000 years ago, but now do not. That however is a different subject), but poeple like you josh, is the reason I dislike western religion. Because of singleminded ignorant fanatics and fundementalists such as yourself, religion has caused so much hate and death and not peace in the world. 2000 years ago, when no one could explain how anything in this world worked, saying a god created it was off course a much more elegant way of stating things, much more elegant than "i have no idea". But things have changed in endless ways since then, and now much can be scientifically (YES, i know your not a scientist, I could tell trust me) without doubt. The two "theories" which are basically taken as fact by all besides people like you are the theory of relativity and the theory of evolution. So you want to argue against the theory of relativity too now? Haha I'd love to hear that one, seeing as you know so much about the sciences, or care so much to learn about it in that manner. If you use your religious beliefs for what they were really meant to accomplish for you, evolution being a fact should absolutely in no way affect you in any way. I will end my rant with that, and leave you with a couple quotes (copy pasted, i know), josh.
Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakeable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
