Christians, may I be wrong?

Thanks. Then you can too. Carry on.
This thread is intended to satirize another. Any resemblance to an actual thread is entirely intended. That is all.  RE: Christians, may I be wrong?

But as demonstrated on that thread you're talking about, some of the people 'of faith' debating there honestly believe they are 100% right and that nothing can prove them wrong.
If that's not abandoning reason for madness then I have no idea would be. Surely anyone who is even remotely aware of, or cares even one ounce about intellectual integrity would surely seek to avoid such foolishness? Or am I missing something here? They could be right I guess, but then that only shows how different i am from them. 
I rather suspect we're all wrong, somewhere.

Yep we're all human alright. But I was thinking more about tolerance. Mutual respect. Don't try to insert what you take to be God's law into the law of the land, and I won't insist that you justify your belief in God to me using the standards of logic or science. How about we all attend to keeping our own houses in order? Don't try to 'save me' and that will save me the trouble of mocking your intentions.
I don't believe there is absolute "anything".
Nature and evolution is blind to all that stuff. It has always been the natural law of the jungle. Humans as an intelligent animal has devised clever ways to protect the many from the few who wish to harm. So basically, our laws are our morals. It's just that some laws are fairer than others. When a certain female spider bites her husband's head off after making love, is that fair or "right"? Of course it is. Who are we to argue with 4 billion years of evolution.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
But Mrs. Spider doesn't respect Mr. Spider as anything more than passion's plaything !!!

Yep, you guys are absolutely right.
All absolutes are merely illusions. Nobody can ever "No" anything. Try the above the next time you get stopped for some driving violation. Be sure to post how it goes. 
Looks like you caught one, whateverist.
"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."
