Verlch is going to hell. God is not pleased with his hypocracy. That's the one sin that pisses Jesus off most. Verlch is going to burn when he dies. Burn forever.

Jesus was the hypocrisy master...right behind the God as described in the various bibles.

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/by_name.html

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

Then he wouldn't have had to send himself here as his son to get the crap kicked out of himself, which through some incomprehensible logical gymnastics is supposed to open the gates of the happy house to the rest of the inhabitants of our little orb. It sure would have been a lot less trouble to all involved if we could all just go directly to the heavenly candy shop.

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Listen man, God is going to do as he wills. Lucifer is to be created and givin a choice to serve God or reject Him. Man was giving the same choice, for good or evil. We choose evil. God does not have his timeframe around His creation. His creation is around Him, created as He pleases and by His rules. Its obvious none of us understand the ways of our Maker. It will be understood in the end! Make your choice now, for better or worse, good and evil. In the end, do you have enough faith to follow after man(666), Devil (555), or God(888)?

What came first the chicken or the egg?

How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?

There are no atheists in foxholes

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4

II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!

Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?

Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.

"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

Ok, this is cool.

However, do not expect everyone to see things as you do.

This is the wonderful thing about sapience; all people look at their world from a different angle. Thus, their viewpoints can be various. Some (yourself) have a great deal of faith, and some (myself) have none.

And so, we converse.

Verlch: Listen man, God is going to do as he wills.

Chip: Well sure, why not?

Verlch: Lucifer is to be created and givin a choice to serve God or reject Him.

Chip: Well, actually that comes from the ancient Greeks. Its about free will. Lucifer (Devil, Satan, etc.) represents free will. If you want to believe in God, OK then. Symbolically, God loves Satin and set the whole thing up as a lesson in free will.

Verlch: Man was giving the same choice, for good or evil. We choose evil.

Chip: Actually "good" and "evil" are symbolic of "safe" (i.e. in the womb, childhood, or "paradise"), and "evil" is "free will" as in "yes, you can invent the airplane and fly!" (But you might get killed.) You can do great works of good or despicable evil, or you can try to do "the right thing" and do "good works" but end up hurting people anyway. You can be an artist and write beautiful music, that some people hate. That's the price we pay for "eating from the Tree of Knowledge." Its all symbolic of life and responsibility and goes back to pre-Christian peoples. The Bible adopted many legends and folklore like that.

Verlch: God does not have his timeframe around His creation. His creation is around Him, created as He pleases and by His rules.

Chip: In other words, if the universe has rules, we can study them because we are in reality the Earth looking at itself. Why are we "the Earth looking at itself?" One reason is that the calcium in our bones owes its atomic origin to super-novas, so we are literally brothers and sisters of the stars. (Much more inspiring than believing in a big bearded white man on a throne, throwing people who don't know his son into a lake of fire.)

Verlch: Its obvious none of us understand the ways of our Maker.

Chip: That's why we have laws and religion as well as science and art.

Verlch: It will be understood in the end!

Chip: Belief in "the end" (as George Bush does) will cause one to do less than their best efforts to prevent another holocaust if in conflicts with their fake fundamentalist beliefs. Cancel doomsday and learn to live and love now.

Verlch: Make your choice now, for better or worse, good and evil. In the end, do you have enough faith to follow after man(666), Devil (555), or God(888)?

Chip: Numerology. Mumbo Jumbo. Welcome to the dark ages again.

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

"TAX AND SPEND" IS GOOD! (TAX: Wealthy corporations who won't go poor even after taxes. SPEND: On public works programs, education, the environment, improvements.)

Hey, I love Satin, too. I'm thinking about picking up some sheets in it. (Couldn't resist, sorry.)
