You addressed the difference between your religion and other religions - NOT how your religion is not a religion. I don't care how you think your religion is different than others and I didn't ask you that question.

Can you please address the question that I DID ask you?

much of it all in life is small stuff. Reality will win out, that will be
true no matter who if any of us are right about God, gods, or a
complete lack of God/gods. From that point on depending on
what reality is, the results of the errors we make will cause various
things to fall out as a result. The consequences of getting God,
gods, or no God/gods wrong means we have misrepresented our
place in the universe and God, gods, or lack of God/gods; that
wrong could be very harsh for us to put it mildly, or of no
consequences whatsoever.

one another, sorry for my part in that.

Kelly Jay is a missionary threadjacker, described in another thread.
Everything he touches he turns into a marathon religious discussion, most often an anti-science ranting about his beliefs of that evolution is wrong. Satan laughs.

If you have any intellectual honesty, you know there is ALWAYS an agenda when creationists start talking in the language of science. They are not after a real scientific debate. What they are after is to destroy the science behind evolution, pure and simple.
Originally posted by WulebgrRight. Sociologial studies show how exactly the people are gradually getting sure that our environment/ planet/ universe is not ruled by supernatural existences. Common sens (sense), science, respect of Life and mutual respect is our future; however the religions will sustain for long, but who cares as long as the Church is constitutionally separated ftom the State and does not interfare with the politics? Therefore we see how right was that giant, Thomas Jefferson, who IMHO whould be embarased in full by presidents like Reagan and those kind gentlemen, Bush & Son;

Originally posted by black beetleDon't you see what is happening in Kentucky and other states? The latest attack on evolution is now 'freedom of expression', bypassing that pesky argument about creationism and ID, they won't stop till they can take over the science class and preach creation. It's an American version of what is going on in Iran. I don't think even the Iranians screw around with science like these yahoo's in Kentucky want to.

Space exploration will be taken over by others. Particle physics are taken over by others. Field after field of science will be taken over by others.
Because who will need science when the answers of all scientific questions will be "Because god wanted it that way."
Originally posted by sonhouseI know the situation in that state, I have good friends there and in Ohio who oppose strongly this situation. But in whole the religionists have by far less strength than, say, a hundrend years ago. And we are forced to react because the Christian activists are pushing it too far. The reaction of the rational people emerges peacefully al around the dial. The scientific community today is publishing constantly every new find -but one has to keep his TV closed and his ears and eyes wide open in order to cope with these finds and to evaluate their meaning and their importance.

Problem is that is hard to turn somebody from a TV junky to an active rational free thinker;

I do find it strange that one the most developed (supposedly) nations on earth has such a high % of creationists / ID...... non evolutionists.
If this is just your hypothesis, fair enough, sounds logical.
