Religion doesn't need evidence

[LostLocke]

Let's sit back and wait for one of our resident biologists to weigh in on that.

That's the point at which I said there's no point interacting with him.

Also, anybody else getting a stench of used sock from him?

I was kinda thinking the same. But then, it can be hard to tell a sock form a legitimate new poster since it all usually end up being the same things said anyway.

And in regards to religiousites and 'evidence', even the meaning of the word evidence is up for grabs.

In the Mormon orbit (which I'm extremely fond of noting since they conveniently documented so very very much of their perfidy and connivance and contrivance) 'evidence' of the gold plates was deemed so important that a member of the church merely having a dream about the plates was counted as evidence for the existence of the plates and the translated content on them. That dreams were counted as evidence might raise the issue of why not just display the plates?

Well, that presupposes the plates actually exist, you silly twit.

Additionally, if the member having the evidentiary dream regarding the plates was later excommunicated from the church, their testimony is still deemed valid, despite another issue being raised by that, why would the Mormon deity instill a confirmatory dream in member with a subsequently impure heart ?

"Evidence', it's a tricky thing, ain't it ?

If religion doesn't need evidence then I don't need religion.

No sane person needs it.

Let's see .. hmmm ..  things I don't need:

•  Fashionable cloths;
•  Tasty food;
•  A sex partner I find appealing;
•  An appreciation of history or literature;
•  A nuanced understanding of psychology;
•  Familiarity with philosophy;
•  A knack for technology;
•  Enjoyment of music;
•  Religion.

Yep, it fits right in there alright.

Lucky for them as they don't have any.

Also, evolution is taught in schools, that requires more faith to believe in since we've never observed New DNA information being introduced through genetic mutation or any other method. Should be taught in a private school

lol, perhaps you've not heard of the cichlids of Lake Victoria speciating, but those and many other instances reveal a void in your education.

Some unsolicited advice: be careful using words like always or never.

"sane" is a reach for most people. Innocuous is not the same thing.

May the Good Lord Bless you all!! Please believe that JESUS CHRIST is the son of GOD, HE DIED ON THE CROSS SO WE CAN ALL BE SAVED THINK ABOUT THIS IF HE HAD NEVER DIED FOR US THEN ALL OF THE HUMAN RACE WOULD BE DOOMED IN HELL! BUT HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS DEMONSTRATES HIS LOVE FOR US! HE KNEW WE WOULD ALL BE SINNERS THAT IS WHY HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US DONT YOU SEE!!!!
