Quote: It's the devil my boy, don't question just believe.

And people wonder why I think xtians are fucktards.

" ..you're falling into the devils trap of always questioning the word of God about "seeming" contradictions..

..You need to stop..

..Have faith in God and ask Him to reveal."

This is mental abuse, whether from a forum or straight from the mouth. However you dress it up, it stinks and it's going on in millions of homes right now. You're just another victim Randy which is why you think you know the answer.

Believe this people, do not fall into the devils trap, if the bible seems like its contradicting itself just have faith that it's not.

Once you see a video of a cat protecting a kid from a dog, it becomes quite fucking obvious that morality is not unique to the human species.

Just a hop, skip and jump away from Jim Jones.

I hope that is not sarcasm, that literally is a display of evolution. I am not kidding. Our species ability to cooperate stems from prior evolution, primates and mammals cooperating. We stupidly see the video as merely being cute, but in a very real evolutionary context, THAT video is a literal demonstration of evolution. 

We also see other species cooperation, ever see a long fish hovering around a shark? The fish cleans the shark and the shark evolved to accept the cleaning. Some birds  and prey in Africa communicate and watch each other and warn of predators like lions.

Inner species cooperation is part of evolution. In a very real sense.

Not sarcasm, well it was sort of sarcastic since I don't need to see a cat protecting a kid from a dog in order to realize how social species behave.

I wasn't dumbing it down for you, but for theists who think a sky hero is needed to explain nature. You don't need the video, but unfortunately far too many uneducated theists do.

No, he practices apologetics, the finest art of sophistry.

Yep. Stop thinking and the cognitive dissonance magically goes away

In fact, a swift frontal lobotomy should take care of your problem once and for all
