The primary flaw in intelligent design
I knew someone would hit me with the "that's life" bullshit. What points have you actually made there? I was arguing, albeit rather aggressively, that the Bible is so vast that any act good or bad can be justified with its text. My point is that we have a dilemma - is it fair to teach a child of 3, 4, 5 whatever age that there is 100% a God? Is it right to teach them that there isn't? In my opinion, no. I dont have a problem with religious people unless they try and make other people religious.

Is that morally acceptable though? Do you teach morals via fear or education?
And I sound like a sack of shit? As long as you dont throw me in a sack and fill it with excrement I'm fine with you saying that.
P.S.
And you know Clandestine you do make a good point. My issue is rather with the people that say the entire Bible is the word of God you get the picture? If you use it as a sort of guide to life and make decisions by its good teachings then there is nothing negative in that. When I said Christians, I actually meant "Fundamentalist" Christians. My issue isn't with you.
