Man didn't evolve from monkeys - apes and humans both evolved from a common apelike ancestor. Learn evolution the way it actually is, not from an apologist website. Moron.

You atheists are very cruel people. I didn't attack you, but you go and call me a moron. It's very hard, but I will restrain from attacking you. Have a nice day

I don't know what you mean by the universe working "like clockwork" but the universe takes the form that it does because there's this force called gravity that affects all objects that have mass and it pulls things toward other things.

If the tilt of the earths axis were slightly different it would affect the seasons but the planet would still be inhabitable. It would just mean the winter and summer would be more or less intense depending on which way it tilted. If it was 90 degrees that would probably be a big problem

I seem to remember you from the Challenge Blasphemy forums. How's it going over there since they kicked out all the infidels?

Yes, it wasn't nice of Matt to call you a moron, but don't lump all atheist together now. I don't assume all Christians are ignorant of science just because you're showing ignorance of it.

I am not a biologist, but it's not inconceivable that a population could still survive after a another species evolved from it. It would have to do with the environment they live in.

This is somehow easier to accept than evolution by natural selection?

I was very angry when they did not allow non-Christians on the site, and I refused to go until they changed it. That was stupid, and I apologize on their behalf. I wrote an angry email saying that churches don't put a sign on the door saying 'no sinners allowed', and I also told them that if sinners could not come, then I would not come either. I want a place where everybody can come, regardless of what they believe. They immediately changed the rule and 'infidels' (and I) are allowed back.

I don't mean to lump them all together, but every atheist I have ever talked to in my life has been very nasty to me. There probably are some nice atheists out there, but I have yet to spot this elusive creature. 

You complain about atheists being nasty towards you, and you post things like this on your own public weblog:

Oh no why are all those atheist being so unfriendly...!?!?!?

I'm glad to hear this. Thanks for doing that.

Maybe it's because theist tend to go ballistic over atheists. We can be a bit defensive. Please, don't confuse bluntness with being nasty, at least on this board.

So all you did was ask "can I share the gospel with you?" and then they called you jesus cunt.

Something tells me that there's a little more to this story.

Homosexuality causes bad weather? Shouldn't San Francisco have the worst weather around? There must be a lot of in the closet gays in the rural midwest.

You said they deserve death. How's that only attacking their "sins?"

We know what it means, but it does have negative connotations. You don't call persons born out of wedlock "bastards," and black persons "negros" do you?

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death..." Leviticus 20:13

Murderers should be put to death too, "Thou shalt not kill".

I agree with you on the heathens though. I guess it does have a negative sound to it. I never meant it that way though. 

The bible says lots of things that are stupid. Why not use your brain instead of a book that tells you to murder people? 

If I had known you advocated executing someone for doing something which harms nobody (as Adolph Hitler did) I would have used a stronger word than "moron."

Ok, but in my hypothetical worldview being a christian is a capital crime. So when I say "kill all christians and salt the earth where they live so nothing will ever grow there" I'm attacking your sin of being a christian. I'm not calling you disgusting I'm saying your actions are death worthy. 

That's an old Jewish law that they had to honor because Jesus had not yet taken their sins, so they had to keep the law to repent and place their faith in the coming messiah. Yes, I agree with the death penalty, as long as it doesn't deal with ceremonial Jewish laws. And before you ask, yes I believe I deserve the death penalty. We all deserve hell (death) for our sins.

That's fine. If Christianity were a capital crime, and you were attacking my sin of being a Christian, and not the peson themself. Then if it's a capital crime, bring them to court, prove their guilt, and they will be justly executed. (I don't advocate driving around with a gun shooting every homo you see- trial would be necessary.)

since you feel you deserve the death penalty, why do you call out on homosexuals specifically for deserving the death penalty, if they merely deserve it as much as you do? why do you focus on this particular sin rather than your own sins?

Yes. I was guilty of a capital crime, I deserve to die.

mythrys, why do you subscribe to these barbaric and self defeating beliefs?

Because I have been forgiven by Jesus for my sins. He takes the punishment for you. If a capital offender were to repent, then he doesn't get the death penalty any more. He still deserves it, but hes forgiven and sincerely sorry. 

I focused on this sin because we were talking about it. I don't particularly hate gays or anything. Do you want me to focus on my own sins? I'm a sinful person.

I have looked at pornography , I have used vulgar language and still do if I am very angry. I have disrespected my mom many times and disobeyed her. I have used the name of God in vain. I have had other gods besides the real god. I have looked at a woman with lust MANY times. I have lied, cheated, and stolen. I have been envious of other people. I don't always put God first in my life. I sometimes want to hurt other people. I cheat on tests.  

That's funny. I was going to put in my reply "don't think I'm an emo self hating person or something", but I took it out. No, it's not barbaric. I certainly would try to escape, and I would not WANT to die. But It would be a fair punishment, regardless of whether I like it or not.

I respect your explanation, however I still think that fundamentalists in general have a tendency to focus on the particular "sin" of homosexuality rather than other sins delineated in the Bible.  For example, I think their picket signs and hate slogans would do a whole world of good protesting, say, sins like greed and domestic violence rather than homosexuality.  I don't understand the curious fixation on homosexuality, when there is plenty of issues which could be improved upon in the world.

So by that logic, God would be more approving of the Taliban than of the United States government. I'm glad we don't follow God's law! It is barbaric!

No, you guys have it wrong!

I don't WANT to die. But if I was a capital criminal and sat down to think about it, I would be like, "Yeah, I guess that's fair. I killed someone, I deserve the death penalty. That's the law".
