If by redneck you mean wilfully ignorant, stupid, and proud of it...

Then you are definitely a redneck.

And as such are utterly and completely unconvincing to anyone who is not also a redneck.

We you would because you are both ignorant and stupid.

There are many creation myths around the world and through the ages.

Many much older than the one of your mythology.

And most are not even remotely based off of the Christian creation myths.

It has been quite convincingly demonstrated that bricks exist. However, that does not entice me to start worshiping bricks.

Oh yes. Circular Reasoning. "The bible proves itself" Good one.

You should be on Letterman as a comedy act. You might even find recruits there.
Letterman? He should be on Phil!

RJ, have you never heard of the sin of pride? I beseech thee, take a bit more humility. It would do thee good.

I generally regards threats from peoples imaginary friends to come from the person
'just passing it on'.

If a figment of your imagination [which says something about the poor state of your
imagination] thinks I deserve eternal torture for not believing it exists, then YOU
believe I deserve that torture. Because there is nothing external to you for you to be
passing this message on from.

No, I'm saying the method is ineffective. Contention and strife plays into the Devils hand. He doesn't care if we oppose him, just so long as we are doing it his way.

There is no god. There is no satan either. They're both inventions of ignorant minds in the long ago past. Now we have the capacity to think for ourselves.

Austr ...[text shortened]... respect as part of their ancestors' culture, but they certainly don't live their lives by them.
As a part of paying respect, concientious people's lives are nevertheless affected .
Just about anywhere you go in the outback all locals know the basic mythologies of that region.
Country people in Australia and city people are worlds apart.

😀 But in all fairness god did tell the original lot to go forth and multiply, so religiously speaking no problem!

I know who the proud ones are here and I am not one of them because I am a redneck. 😏

Too much false logic.
