As the myth goes man was created in God's image... Man was not an identical copy of perfection... God was just a rough template for man. Man had free will... to do with as he saw fit... He ate the apple and became self-aware contrary to the will of God...

Nothing worse than an idiot like Brass who actually thinks he's smart because he parrots the cool trends... "Oh look... Atheism... must promote it to the masses because it's not an ideology...!"
Fuck off queer...
Quote from RCG Trader:
Nothing better than talking to a man with some life experience
We as a species will let religion go. A United Earth, who will one day join a United Federation of Planets is our destiny. Gene Roddenberry has not missed a prediction yet.
He predicted computers in the 60's, Ipads in the 90's. Between him and Asimov, it is a good measure of where we are going. The sad part is that we will not get there before WWIII.
Nonsense.
We are stalled. We've become a static civilization lead by those more interested in looking inward then exploring outward.
We don't even have a fucking space program. A black guy from Chicago is not exactly what I would call an intrepid explorer but is someone more interested in materialism. No Space Shuttle but Spinner Wheels for everyone!
LOL! Tough crowd! I think we should be looking in both directions. Our failure to build our space program is a mistake. I don't see why spiritual growth and scientific exploration can't co-exist. Both are worthy ventures regardless of the outcome of one or the other. If science were to prove beyond any doubt that there is no God, to look within ourselves is still a worthwhile effort. If God were to appear for all to see, leaving no doubt, science is still viable, and I very much doubt that a God would oppose it. Whatever takes us to a higher truth is a good thing. It is only when it's corrupted by those with other, namely political agendas, that it becomes tainted. Both science and religion have done a good job of twisting and turning in an effort to sway public opinion.
1. This is the most ridiculous shit I have ever read. Have you been to a mass. Do you realize how biblical the mass is. 3 readings from the bible. a recreation of the last supper and then a faithful communion in which Catholics follows Jesus words exactly how he stated in John Chapter 6 starting around the 50s.
Every Sunday (in fact every mass every day) Catholic's read three passages from the bible. 1 old testament... and 2 new testament including one reading from matthew mark luke and john.
In Sunday school catholic children read and discuss these same 3 readings.
The readings are part of a cycle which reads through the bible every 3 years.
2. Catholics want everyone to feel appreciated, but you do not get into heaven unless you are a believer, once you have learned about Jesus.
I'm an atheist you moron!
I pointed out previously that I'm an ex-believer turned atheist. Nevertheless, atheism is an ideology... according to most of the definitions of ideology. I also know my Christianity pretty well and I don't hold anything against Christians if they want to practice their religion.
Most atheists just babble incoherently about Christianity without the slightest clue...! I do know my Bible relatively well and have studied it.
