Ouch. Reminds me of the time some asshole tried to tell me that carbon dating was a lie. There was a buddhist chick listening in on our argument and she and I were both astounded by the sheer audacity of those who are young, stupid, and christian.

Yes ... even if they hear from their youth pastor about someone who found a burnt down bush in the middle of the Eastern deserts they will seriously go so far as to say, "MOSES'S BU/rNIING BUSH!!1!1! What more proof do these heathens need? GAH!!!"

When I grow up I'm going to be God.

On topic, I don't really care. Desensitisation, as L'BXXX put it. I never cared nor had any respect for religion in the first place. Respect the individual, not the organisation.

I know this one dude who is a Christian Fumdmentalist so I rarely question him because he can get crazy about religion. They take the Bible very serious. I once asked him what he thought about the finding of Dino bones and why they were not mention in the bible.

He looked me dead in the eye and said that those bones were put there by God to test the faithful and to believe that Dinos actually lived is a sure way to be sent to Hell.

But yeah, relgion isnt neccesarily (sp?) a bad thing. Its underlying statement is pretty good, usually its about how you should be good and treat people nicely and stuff. It puts down some laws to follow

but, if there was no consequence to the law, it would mean nothing. Thus christianity is cunningly made to be unquestionable, and questioning it results in damnation to somewhere not very nice.

Bible bashers are the ones who ruin religion. They are the ones who dont understand that its about the goodness, not about tossing jesus's salad, or testaments of faith, or i am holier than thou attitude. Too many people are too obsessed with following everything the bible says, and not enough with being a good person in life.

Personally, i say fuck all that shit. I was a satanist for two years, and now I'm kinda a chaote... whatever the fuck that is. I know what is right and wrong, and I do what I will accordingly.

Same here...I also have heard that Satan planted them as evidence against god.

That's the great thing about having a diety with magic powers...no matter what corner you back them into...they can always make up a reason to counter their insanity.

Surley the word is "chode"?

What a collosal crock of horse shit!!! I hope you folks realize that not all Christians are that ignorant. I felt like beating my head on the keyboard at some of the remarks. Of course there were dinosaurs!!! I knew some personally!!! A couple of kinky cavemen, too!!!
I don't profess to know even a fraction of what other's do about Christianity. I wonder what they'd say about the forgotten books of the Bible. About those ones between the Old and New Testament I found in a 1880's Bible in my attic that starts with a "A" but I can't remember the name of right now! lol
And so many think God is such a hard-ass with no sense of humor. Heck, I'd be an atheist if I didn't think he cracked a smile now and then.

Please! Don't judge us all by the beliefs of a few. To make what I think is an excellent comparison --There's many forms of Christianity just like there's many forms of metal. Some are good and some aren't. Some people are more ignorant than others. Some refuse to broaden their thinking in both. Hey, I'm game for about anything, but some things common sense takes over and some things experience and total gut feelings do.

That all sounds good on paper...but when (and I use experience only) the massive majority believe the modern bible is 100% correct and accurate...all hope is lost.

The "few" you mention seem to be the ones open for interpretation, meaning there are few that can think outside the limits of a book......MOST follow it to the letter when professing their beliefs or proselytizing.

And I havnt met a christian yet that doesnt believe the earth is somewhere around 4000 years old and deny the existance of dinosaurs or early primitive man.

I wish the ones like you mention were around...but they keep silent while their masses make fools of the religion.

'Nuff said, eh Bia?

Religion is not a morality.

Earth is ~4.5 billion years old, and the universe is ~ 15 billion years old.

Amazing, really.

yet another story to add when ppl ask "man, why you hate religion?"

Put there by God?

How the hell is he comfortable with the notion that GOD , is fucking with his head? That God is playing tricks on him? What kind of trust is that?

I can see God running around planting dinosaur bones --- "Hehehe, I'm a prankster God. I'm killing me!"

not only did god put those bones there but an entire ecosystem that lasted an eon,plants,sealife,5 canopy rainforests,mammals,insects etc

edit: chistianity is becoming obsolete

Wrong tense, low-tech.

Massive majority? I disagree. The people you speak of are a minority if anything. The reason it seems like there are so many people like that is because they are the people that push their beliefs upon others... The rational Christians that are open to interpretation don't push their beliefs, they don't scream about how the Bible is the only absolute truth... because they don't believe it. I hope you understand what i'm saying. The closed minded people seem to outnumber the rational people because the close minded ones make themselves be heard, while the rational people don't.... I'm sorry, it's late, and it's hard for me to express my thoughts. For the record, i am 100% atheist, and i believe that religion is all bullshit. However, i don't insist that i am correct. If i did, i would be no better than the Christian elitists that we speak of.
