Sorry Min, Bruce can have the podium.
I'll just stick with what is written.
Maybe Drich or GC or HM will want to play debate with him.

| Poll: Was Jesus the Son of God, or What? This poll is closed. |
|||
| Yes. There was a man born of a flesh and blood woman named Mary who was impregnated by God himself. That makes him the son of God, by gawd. | 5 | 12.82% | |
| No. Jesus was or was probably a real, historical person from the time period depicted in the bible but he was not the spawn of God. | 4 | 10.26% | |
| No. The Jesus of the bible was not or was probably not a historical person. More the stuff of legend and myth or possibly just fiction. | 11 | 28.21% | |
| Oh hell no. It's all bullshit. No gods. No offspring of gods. No woo woo shit at all. | 13 | 33.33% | |
| Don't know. Without an adequate definition of "god" it is impossible to know who may be the son of one, or if a 'god' is even capable of having a child. | 2 | 5.13% | |
| Don't care. Not really sure what I'm doing on the Christian sub forum, but as long as I'm here I'd just like to register my extreme disinterest. | 2 | 5.13% | |
| None of the above but I'll be letting you know in a comment. | 0 | 0% | |
| None of the above and I can't be bothered to comment. | 2 | 5.13% | |

"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."

Thank you prof. I'd just like to say how proud I am to be lumped with Min as the archetypal non-Christian stance. Not sure how the Muslims fit in here but I don't take that part as a compliment. 
None of it is "real." He's admonishing him for trying to edit the story so he feels better about it.
I'm still with the prof on this one. The fundies are crazy but at least they stick by their story.  RE: Is Jesus the son of God?

I think Min likes theists who save him the trouble of making them look foolish. I just want to live in the best world possible .. without taking over as king and declaring how things have to go.

I do have to hand it to you Min, you and Whateverist do come up with amusing goodies,
yeah, Stimbo is in there too somewhere. But you guys are at the top. My condolence to Chuck, Chad, Beccs and anyone I might have missed. ![[Image: caption7903.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.lameorgame.com%2Fimg%2F201111%2Fcaption7903.jpg)
