Wanna talk about the ten commandments of progressives? Here you go:
1. Hatred of Christ and Christians
2. Hatred of Jews, and Israel
3. Hatred of the U.S. Constitution and the principles upon which America was founded.
4. Hatred of responsible government and states' rights
5. Hatred of uniformed men and women in the armed forces...and domestically, police and fireman.
6. Belief in Atheism
7. Belief in Evolution
8. Belief in Humanism
9. Belief in Global Warming
10. Belief in Communism and or Socialism
If you have one or several or even all of these characteristics, that qualifies you for a membership in The America Haters Liberal Lefty She Man Club!
As for the original point of this thread, it's incredible to me that we see suicide bombers, beheadings. captives set on fire, gays thrown off buildings, women and even young girls raped and thrown into slavery, women stoned to death for adultery...pretty much medieval shit. God only knows what we haven't seen ISIS do...I'm sure there is plenty of even more deranged shit going on behind the scenes that normal thinkers can't even imagine.
Yet, the Stuttering Clusterfuck of a history professor wants to distract from all that by pulling a Noam Chomsky...saying our long ago relatives did bad things too a few hundred years ago and that somehow overshadows what his beloved Islamic assholes are doing today. Reverend Wright would be proud, because it sounds exactly like something he might have said. Perhaps verbatim.
ointer:
hno: Explains TONS. It really does. How's that Humans only been around for 2,000 years working out for you??? Even the other insane wingnuts in your cult will laugh at you for that one. That's Palin level idiocy.
Do you realize that there have been 0 transitional fossils found from the so-called common ancestor between man and the modern ape, and the modern ape?
Richard Dawkins even admits such in his lame defense of evolution "The Greatest Show on Earth."
The religion of Neo-Darwinism will fall in our lifetime, the evidence just is not there.
Believing in macro evolution is actually the opposite of common sense.
Um, clearly with a statement like that, you are just not a critical thinker, nor have you any kind of education.
It's common sense.
When Jesus said "I am the door," do you think that is a metaphor, or do you think he actually was saying that he was a physical door?
Luke 2:1-3
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. [SUP]2 [/SUP](This was the first census that took place while[SUP][a][/SUP] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) [SUP]3 [/SUP]And everyone went to their own town to register.
Do you think that is a metaphor?
(sigh)
As an atheist, I'm sure you can answer this question:
It's clear with the discovery of the cosmic background radiation from the Big Bang, and the fact that we can view cosmological red shift from telescopes that the universe is still expanding
from a Big Bang explosion - which brought our universe into existence.
Being that everything that begins to exist MUST have a cause (common sense), what caused the Big Bang?
And don't just say "I don't know" because it is fundamental to your position as an atheist, which means by definition, that there is nothing out there besides physical materialism.
And the dumbing-down continues of America continues. *sigh*
I have posted this before, but here's a sample of what kids were expected to know back in 1912:
Yes, the national intelligence has fallen that far. And "President Obama" is living proof of a nation in decline.
Indeed. Somewhere I have the test my grandmother (born ~1890's) took to graduate from high school, and most undergrads in this country would flunk that exam today.
Do you realize that people don't die and rise again 3 days later? People don't magically turn water into wine and turn bread into fish. While I am at it people can't just split the seas.
Adam and Eve? Was there really a talking snake too?
People have been lied to since the day of time and believe it. They told there was a Santa Claus that delivered toys to all the boys and girls, they didn't stop there, they even added that he was fat and jolly, they didn't stop there he delivered them with a sleigh and reindeer, they didn't stop there they even added that one of them had a red nose.
Actually, some people have been declared medically dead and then come back to life. Three days? I don't know if anyone has reached that length of time. Still, it's happened.
Do you realize that it's essentially a statistical impossibility that life on this planet began from some inexplicable explosion...and all different forms of live began as a result of a bunch of matter just randomly coming together? Even today's great scientists can't create new life on their own when they attempt to in a controlled environment.
Do you realize how ridiculous it sounds to suggest humans walked out of the ground or sea one day and began populating and civilizing the planet?
It's funny that liberals prefer to believe in something that seems less possible. IMO, it's inconceivable that anything besides a greater power was capable of making life as we know it happen. Everything else seems patently ridiculous...unless your big bang theory was directly guided by some higher power.

Except that there are many eyewitnesses to the resurrection... But you conveniently ignored my question about the Big Bang?
I highly recommend you look into some of the avowed atheists who earnestly looked into the claims of Christianity, and changed their mind (and wrote about it):

All three of those were written by atheists who set out to disprove Christianity.
If you are intellectually honest, you need to at least read some of these to understand the issues involved, instead of spouting "there was no water into wine... "
