    nice juxtaposition I think :)

    The Bible: "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."



    Geneva Convention: Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armedforces who have laiddown their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex,birth, or wealth, or any other similar criteria.


    PS, no Goodfellas style "Funny how?" cracks!

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Dinosaurs of Eden. A children's book by creationist (charlatan and general nut sandwich) Ken Ham.

    Dinosaurs loved bananas. Which is a coincidence, since Ken Ham is totally bananas.

    I tend to forget that we have creationists sharing our island. Most if not all of them are in the north.

    Televangelist tries to explain how offences are not pain free with the help of a heavy duty rat trap. What could possibly go wrong?

    Couldn't agree more! Be straight up with them and tell them that once upon a time there was a big bang and....well it gets a bit hazy after that but some real clever fellas with degrees and stuff say thats what happened and we don't want to look stupid so we go along, besides it makes us sound cool. Anything else that you want me to explain to you?;)

    Still sounds better than

    Virgin birth
    Talking donkeys
    Talking bushes
    900 year old man
    2 of every animal in a row boat
    Dead for 3 days then not dead
    Moses and the whole wandering the desert thing
    And don't forget loving god who gives kids cancer because.....

    Some really clever people, who have been peer reviewed and scrutinized by other really clever people, who also have been heavily scrutinised by other clever people, who, if they cannot explain things, do not make **** up or claim it was someones will. They look for reasonable or plausible explanations and then test them to see what stands upto scrutiny and what doesn't.

    Obviously whoever explained God to you was either using the 'idiots guide to religion' or wasn't the brightest to begin with.

    'peer reviewed' and scrutinized by 'really clever people' ?

    Well, I dumbed down my language, do you think that someone just came up with the big bang theory and then no one ever challenged it?

    Heres an idea, seeing as you're 'dumbing down' why don't you dumb down the big bang theory?It might take a while though seeing as nobody, despite the billions invested, has been able to move it on from being a theory, a theory that can't be explained.
