What makes your faith true?
RE: What makes your faith true?
Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo
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.'

Citation required. An actual scientific one, not AiG.

Quote:Just because we share like genes that doesn't mean revolutions true.

You can't even spell evolution let alone understand it.
We share the exact same genetic code as all life on earth. Do you have a credible, evidence-based alternative?

Quote:Again there is no proof of evolution no matter what you call evidence.

Willful ignorance.

Quote:Now you are dictating what I can use for evidence while you claim the right to use what ever junk you want, actually you've shown no evidence you're just running off at the mouth.

You have not now, nor have you ever, provided any evidence.

Evidence is required to be objective. You really don't understand that, do you.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

You forgot to peddle your proprietary line of dietary supplements, award winning fiction, videos, and self help courses.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Pot, meet kettle.  As if the KJV was ever "god"s word.  You do know that the J doesn't stand for Jesus....right?

The KJV is as much God's word as anyother translation, we have better understanding of ancient Hebrew and Greek so the newer translations give us more exact wording.

It's interesting how all of that "better understanding" allows translators to identify and refine those portions of scripture which can be made to more closely conform to the current beliefs of whatever sectarian vision authorizes it, isn't it?  

I guess that's just another mystery of faith, god working in the world type stuff.

Maybe constantly re-editing "god's word" keeps them busy enough to where they don't have time to sit back and see what an exercise in religious masturbation it is.
