meadows, then you have continued the rush of erroneous statements. no where in my post did I even mention the word "hippie"...but in your haste to rebut, you assumed that I was pigeon holing all "hippies" the same way that, ahem, perhaps all christians are being pigeon holed.

my soap box has zero to do with this current 'fiasco"..in fact, I freely admit I haven't even clicked on the links mentioned above.

here is a more concrete example for you..Chris Sharma is a practicing and very devout....(fill in the blank if you know)...anyone on here calling him a flake for his stupid, dark age beliefs? why not? oh, because he has a cute smile, can crank 5.14 in flip flops, likes a bit of weed, and promises to never down grade your project.

I am only calling out the hypocrisy of those who look for every excuse to say "see I told you so...Christianity is....idiotic, simplistic, non scientific, nomadic, irrational, etc" when 98.3% (to be exact) of them hold some very primitive faith based beliefs them selves. that's all.

(btw, please provide the link on square wheels..never heard of them, and I am all about proof.)

krampus....in the name of consistency, I only ask for even handed ridicule. if someone thinks Christinaity is incredibly naive, I also expect them to blast the muslims, buddhists, atheists, mormons, and yes, the baptists.

people hate that we are in Iraq....anyone want to take a stab at how "dark ages" it is for these grown men to strap on bombs in the name of religion? please tell me how you can be infuriated with our illegal invasion because of oil, but not be infuriated with an iraqi's justification for suicide bombing?

we ridicule this Christian museum, yet we will visit Devil's Tower and listen to the crap about a big bear scratching the sides of that monolith to create it? anyone on here want to stand up to the June closure of Devil's Tower for spiritual reasons? I don't think I have seen a link on here ridiculing the NPS for passing on the religious views of Native Americans.

I know, I know...christianity isan easy target because it is so prevalent in America. I only find the inconsistency laughable.

Oops, I deleted it.

First, square wheels is a joke for a time before technology ... waaaay before.

Second, I don't know Sharma - just of him and don't care for the hype surrounding him. Sorry, I know you believe I swoon at the thought of him, but I don't.

Finally, to the meat of your attack - you can't call hypocrisy on all who dog on Christianity because not all are, "espous[ing] some mother nature, commune loving, do no harm, ,metaphysical, yoga rapture, spiritual mindset." Some just have a different understanding of science ... more factual (not fully, but more so than this presentation of earth's history).

BTW, an exhibit at this museum asserts that all animals were vegetarians before Adam sinned ... before he ate a piece of forbidden fruit. So be a good boy, Piggie, and instead of roast beef for supper, you should have bean sprouts and carrots.

actually is was all eve's (a women) fault. LOL just to get the "facts" straight.

Piggie - I had to search Google for the exact number of virgins that a "martyr" (term used cynically) receives upon his entry to heaven (that which is promised to suicide bombers), but I'd say the answer to your suicide bomber question is 72-fold. I guess carnal desire is pretty dark ages. I wonder if the female "martyrs" get male virgins, or if they have to deal with the same prize as the men.

meadows, I am the one who swoons for Sharma..that is the problem...lol

and to be clear, I am not advocating this museum..it sounds very ridiculous.

mythology is a very big part of the human existence, and christianity has as much as any other religion. you can't prove or disprove it.

thanks for the heads up on the virgins yasmeen.

and lastly, a big apology to meadows if my post sounds like an attack. we have had these conversations in person, so I hope my boredom today did not come across personal.

So true! So for punishment, God made Steve and introduced him to Adam. They lived happily ever after until Exodus. Unfortunately, in the summit that decided the chapters that would make this book that went on to become a number one seller and Hollywood hit, the director cut this story.

Pig, it's always personal ... reactions are determined by what week it is.

I suspect the incidence of female suicide bombers correlates to the rate of homosexuality.

Adam and Steve was a really funny gay movie! lol seriously google it.
