Chick-fil-a

And your qualifications which give you the ability to make that call are what exactly? Because you've got essentially the entire academic world who actually do falsifiable testing on the subject going against you, the 18 year old kid on the Internet as you put it. Sorry...but I'm siding with the scientists on this one, not the child who's religious views force him to contest the single strongest theory as to the origin of species and their evolution.

Stick to subjects you know and are capable of understanding, you're in over your head.

Where do you stand with the many(albeit a small number in the grand scheme of things) Christian Scientists?

Also, Richard Dawkins himself said that there could have very well been a more intelligent being behind the world and it's creation. Though, he finds it more likely that it was Aliens(from where...?) rather than a sole, omnipotent being.

Looks like someone's butthurt that an 18YO kid (no college yet, I assume) is able to go toe-to-toe with self-proclaimed intellectual. :p

Toe-to-toe huh? It appears as though your concept of toe-to-toe is as equally poor as your own understanding of the science. I remember your stumbling over it in past threads. Best to stay out of this one as well, I don't think you can use adolescence as an excuse like funFgan can.

I like chicken sammichs and waffle fries

I'm not really seeing any toe-to-toe-going here...

I meant it doesn't add up, as you can see it the other thread. But regardless, I said I'm looking into it. Also, I'm so flattered that you all care so much about the opinions of an 18 your old kid on the internet :D

Lolol, you've "looked into" evolution eh? I'll be sure to have my friend contact you when he's working on his phd thesis for marine biology in a few years, since you're so informed on the subject.

I've looked into quantum mechanics, it just doesn't make sense. Therefore Einstein and Feynman are wrong.

Not sure if you're serious and genuinely stupid or a troll.

I've looked into evolution, and will continue to do so, but it just doesn't make sense. There are no middle ground species etc etc, and there had to be SOMETHING to start evolution. Ie, I can see the sense in creationist evolution, and I also agree that at the very least, creatures had adapted and evolved to their surroundings, but not the extent of total evolution. But to each his own. I don't think we need to get into things that have nothing to do with the thread topic haha.

you're definitely frustrating. When christianity doesnt stand to reason lets just change it till it makes sense. ;) At best there were christians and deists in the ranks of our founding fathers.

What are you referring to?

http://www.jameswatkins.com/foundingfathers.htm

Can't I as easily just put the words into our founding fathers and just say when they mentioned god that it was just referring to the driving force of the universe? May I remind you that einstein's theory only existed in the 20th century and we have yet (but are very close) to a unifying theory of everything?

So you're saying that there was only one idea of "God" back then? I fail to see how else you could just assume that, regardless of the fact that many used "Christ" and "jesus" when referring to God.


after reading this thread I can tell that nobody has been putting words in your mouth. How old are you to no comprehend that?

So what would you call Kershaw assuming that I was denying that something in the Bible happened, or that when I said "theistic" I was immediately referring to Christianity?

[rwh11385]

Also, just popped to mind: Aren't people not accepting of Chick-Fil-A's intolerance? Ie, you all are intolerant of intolerant people. Just food for thought...

Yes, yes I am intolerant of people shitting on other's rights. Again, you are defending ignorance, bigotry, and working to keep others down and without their fundamental civil rights??

Would you support CFA donating money to end women's suffrage because of what the Bible says?

The Klan is protected in having free speech and the right to assemble, but that doesn't mean that many people would go to a Klan Chicken Shack. Maybe if they were white, protestant, and hated minorities (like the GOP) - actually, a lot like CFA. And if such a business was on the wrong side of history and was at risk of hostile work environment lawsuits, local officials don't have to believe it is a good use of space to open a venue for it.

Tolerating lack of respect for others and hate is something that makes America behind the times. Heck, we didn't even care if someone put stars on people they didn't like until we got bombed by their buddies for strategic naval advantage.

[Dozyproductions]

I'm middle ground on that. As you may or may not know, the Christian community is kind of touchy on that. We obviously have the "7 days" of creation, in creationism. But there are a few hints that "God's days" are human days, along with some scientific evidence that it has been around longer than 2 thousand years.

some people need to go back to school and learn to spell. lol. but i'm enjoying eating my popcorn here.

Bless your sig.

it's called hypocrisy. it is fine to choose not to frequent their establishment because of statements made by the owners of the company.

however, when you try to force YOUR beliefs on the company because you do not agree with theirs, you are just as bad as what you claim to hate.

That is exactly my point!


i don't however remember him saying that he would not serve food to GLBT people or that it was a company policy to not hire them.

Same, THEY still have to abide by the laws, wether or not the politicians think they have to

i see nothing wrong with what he said, THAT IS HIS OPINION and he is intitled to it (freedom of speach and freedom of religion).

was it a smart business decision to tell the world his OPINION??????? Hell no!!!!

i don't however remember him saying that he would not serve food to GLBT people or that it was a company policy to not hire them.

for the record, i am for gay marriage. whatever sanctity there once was to marrage, has long been stripped away by divorce, child support, alamony, infidelity, etc. marriage has been more of a legal contract (giving half of your stuff to your partner if it is terminated) than a life commitment for a while now.
society has let it evolve into what it is today, why not let the gays in on it??????
