I'm telling you, we can't take Deidre anywhere.
I know, right? :p
While I was taken aback by the call out threads, I feel bad he was banned. Like I said, I thought his apology was sincere but...anyway. 'Nuff said.

Damn that Deirdre. She is so damned attractive though. What was the poor guy to do!
The rape thing kinda worried me a little, but then we've had some far worse things said recently. I thought we were using spades full of loving understanding. I think Deci was apologetic (sic) enough. He was an eccentric and interesting character to me. Sad loss

Completely wrong. Any serious study of the text will show you quite the opposite.
A basic tenet of Christianity is that God instilled all of humankind with "souls." The other part to that is that human beings are considered special. This directly opposes the TOE. When you lift the hood up, evolution has a lot of parts to it, each which oppose the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible is evolution remotely supported. I stand firm on that assertion because it's true. lol :p
