OH NOES! Mention even a brief, innocuous passage from the Bible and the atheists go batty. Get a grip folks! Even if you don't believe in the Bible as God's Word, it's a good read for its historical relevance.

Oh, VonSkippy.. just for you.

"...it is unfair to turn round and blame the Bible because of all these legends and jokes and journalistic allusions, which are read into the Bible by people who have not read the Bible."
--G. K. Chesterton

illimey, why are you so surprised? Amorality is not only alive and well these days, it's thriving.

Also, hypocrisy at its finest. What happened to a woman's right to choose? I guess life isn't a valid "choice".

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Some things never change...

She could read the phone book. I don't think her appeal is intellect, faux or real.

Hope that tin foil hat doesn't keep you up at night, Rob.

There is an upside down museum in Pigeon Forge TN:

If you go, just take pictures from the outside. Not worth the price of admission.

Chad, I read that, but I don't believe her. For example, the heel on the left one is worn down, which shows prolonged wear.

Priscilla, they make very nice sandals! Flip-flops are just gross (thanks Stacyj).

The problem is that flip-flops ARE NOT to worn for a prolonged time as shoes, and it bothers me to no end when people where them as shoes. Not only are they ugly, the sound they create is maddening. Flip-flops have their appropriate place and function; walking around in them for hours as shoes is not it.

Ok Jenny, let's stop the research on the mice. Here is another option; let's do it to people instead. Or, let's do nothing and let people continue to suffer from a dreadful mental illness.

Do either of those options sit better with you?

MrBinky, It is the inherent knowledge of a creator that precipitates people to seek him and understand him. Religion is the result of this quest. There are different religions because there are different cultures on this planet and those cultures have shaped the different religions.

If not for this inherent knowledge, there would be no religions. It is a basic need encoded into our DNA by the creator, just like seeking food and shelter. Think of it this way; if there is not a god, how did a need for a god evolve into the human pysche?

TubbyCat, who are you talking to, the atheists? No, they cannot. See, it's like this:

If they open up their mind to even a possibility of a god, then they have to accept the fact that they cannot live their life as they choose, but instead have to live by rules that find them favor with said god. And one thing an atheist cannot stand is living by rules. I have yet to meet an atheist that was not very liberal in their behavior and attitudes. Even sometimes to their own detriment or health...

Most atheists I have talked to personally have latent guilt about something in their past, had a past history of religion, and turn their back on that religion to deal with said guilt. It is also why most so vehemently lash out when confronted by that religion; it reminds them of the guilt feelings they carry, and ultimately, the dire spiritual consequences of their decision.

No one is born an atheist. We are born with an inherent knowledge of our creator. People choose to turn their backs on god thinking they are "enlightened".

I'm a Christian, and I had no problem with this topic. In fact, I found it quite interesting from a historical context. What I have a problem with is your attitude. Why do you find it necessary to insult people you don't agree with? I'd like to know what it is about us (i.e. Christians) that scares you so much that you feel the need to lash out. If you truly believe the Bible is an "idiotic book" and that we are fools, then aren't we harmless and not deserving of so much attention?

Also, Noah didn't ask for censoring the site. All he asked was for a warning. I don't see what the big deal is. What if Neatorama was posting Bible verses and pictures of Biblical events? I bet you'd be the one asking for the warning then. Censorship is fine by you when it is us being censored.
