the only people that read the bible as some definitive and literal work on the nature of reality are fundementalists and people who want to make fun of them. The rest of the informed normal religious and secular world have a much better conversation going trust me.

- Interesting fossil and show.Mimio
- Clearly planted by God to throw you kids off the trackukit
- Just another one of those transitionary fossils that don't exist. But God sure does!Mimio
- This was a huge discovery, but to call it THE Missing Link is not accurate. Anyway God invented Evolution so it's a win-win for me.braaad
- god wouldn't create something that isn't perfect would he? something that requires evolution?scarabin

Well the fundamentalists are the ones staying true to what the Bible actually says. The moderates are the ones who adapt what it says to fit their lives and conveniently ignore the parts they don't like.
I don't see how you can middle road it with the Bible/ God or how you go about the process of picking and choosing.
- its called perspective, you're narrowing the conversation yet again to how to bible can be interpretatedlazerbass
- there's more to God then literal interpretations form the bible and lots more to jesus as welllazerbass
- There's lot more to any mythical character...nothing special about the Christian God or Jesusukit
- more to both than the bible itselflazerbass
- Lazer, you should request to amend the Bible with more of your spiritual wisdom.Mimio

it's impossible to "stay true" to the bible for a long period of time, you'd be incarcerated too quickly.

I'm not saying we can't learn things from myths and fairy tales...why do you think they make people study the Greek legends in high school and college?
It tells you something about the human psychology and humanity in general. Same as the Bible. Just don't confuse it with reality.

pretty much all major religions share a common belief, known to christians, the "creators" of this concept, as "the golden rule". this belief, universally known as the "ethic of reciprocity", is also instinctively exhibited in primate communities. so i'm a little bit curious as to where the chimpanzee's are storing their bibles.

Yeah Jesus Camp is a great documentary, it is sad what small group in christianity has become.

Argue about religion is stupid, Looking for real answers about spirituality is a lifetime path not a QBN thread.

See in the past, governments needed religion to keep society ordered and do what they wanted.
But in the modern world, we can throw out the religion part, because they have other means to control us ; O

I've had Jesus Camp in my watch instantly queue for a while now, but I keep getting sidetracked. Anyway, my church screened Jesus Camp not too long ago- it probably offended my congregation as much as anyone in this thread, ha.
