Yes. You have to prove you aren't as fucked up as some of the fundies....or at least earn some street cred.

I just find it really weird you took a comment like that seriously. I mean, the number of the beast doesn't even mean anything to me, since it's only in the Christian's New Testament. I just thought it was kind of funny.

]Angela, I always use the Adam and Eve myth and the Flood myth as my dividing line for dealing with religious types. Those who accept the allegorical nature of such tales are worthy of being spoken to as rational human beings.

Those who don't are simply fucking morons.

I've actually heard some pretty interesting arguments that allow both the Adam and Eve story as well as evolution, but for the most part I agree. Sticking with an allegorical story despite overwhelming scientific evidence strikes me as really weird, especially since over thousands of years ago there were already people calling parts of the Bible metaphors.
