So, to be clear: you came here to preach your gospel, without caring as to whether that preaching is at all convincing?
Xe's currently confused about that point, apparently.

Your ability to miss the thrust of a post directed at you is astonishing. The question asked if your actions in coming on here actually put people off your faith have you not failed - worse than had you not come on here at all?
In other words YOU are reducing the chance of others being saved. I cannot imagine your God will be very pleased with you.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It's simple and it's true. It certainly isn't this thread

So much fun reading through this thread after being so disgusted with it early on. The complete emasculation of the Revalations guy in 4 posts was epic. Intelligence is great.

And the actions of some of the religious, in the name of their imaginary friend is disgusting.
And, of course, quoting your little book of myths at people who realise it IS a little book of myths is ridiculous.

What did you think we were, sheep? Of course we're classed with monkeys. Consult any comparative anatomy text you like and you'll find that our 'design' is most akin to monkeys. If you don't believe that is because of evolution you are welcome to believe that god was just monkeying around when he put us together.
We're descended from the common ancestor as apes. We're primates. Saying "we're descended from monkeys" is the straw man argument of someone who didn't pass high school biology.

No, not for a second. It's not me who saves anyone.
Yet it is you coming in here spreading biblespam and playing the martyr card upon being called out on it.
Tell you what, I'll make you a deal. Your pet god wants to save us so badly? You get it to post here and convince us by itself, ok? Tell it we want the organ grinder, not his monkey. I promise here and now that I'll listen.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
