Al Gore is just a politically motivated Charles Darwin. The only thing these two individuals really have in relation to each other, is the location of their eternity after death.

Yeah, god thinks that's pretty cool, I mean, he built hell for a reason, so jump in the fire motherfuckers! God wants to smell your ass sizzling!
I'm not sure which was more screamingly funny,
Ah, T&T is back. In good form as ever I see.
As disappointing as it is to see someone this ravingly fundie using the name of my favorite country in the world (I LOVE Trinidad, and the people I met there were among the most laid-back, accepting, tolerant people I've ever met anywhere on this planet!), I just have to ask...concept of these things if it weren't for science in the first place!
Sheer, deep, dark ignorance that I can only imagine to be the result of some form of brain damage. The same kind of deep, dark ignorance that dreams up superstitious fears of wrathful gods plunging "2/3 of the world" into hell, thus justifying making a hell on earth itself. People like this are the same kinds of miscreants that delight in watching an old lady on crutches slip on the ice.
I dont care how many people support evolution, because salvation is not a popularity contest. Do I have permission to quote you to all of the "We Christians are in the majority, so sit down and shut up" people?As for evolution itself, the USA is a very religious nation that holds itself to a higher moral standard than other places. As demonstrated by our crime rate?
The only thing these two individuals really have in relation to each other, is the location of their eternity after death. Prove it from this directly observable reality that you claim to hold so dear.
"things like 'germs' and 'electricity' are not science."glans this object thinks science is for a kickoff.
"Al Gore is just a politically motivated Charles Darwin."
And Gamera, as some Air Farce weenie once said on alt.movies.monster, is just a generic version of a goldfish. The two statements are equally meaningful.

Brain damage whose source Alice Miller has diagnosed in a way that convinces me.
I don't care how many people support your mythology, because reality is not a popularity contest. And thus lies the problem in your belief system, you're so willing to accept the word of a con man duping you with a discredited myth is support of "god", while turning your back on reality. 2/3rds of the worlds problems are caused by the general population disregarding reality because they believe some myth or other. Is that OKAY with you? It's not OKAY with me, I am deeply concerned about the human population and its ongoing obsession with what imaginary spooks are telling them to do (luckily there are a few rational individuals who see through these con men, they are called atheists).
As for evolution itself, the USA is a very religious nation that holds itself to a higher moral standard than other places. Correction: The US right is a backward group that's so conservative it's lagging farther and farther behind the rest of the world on matters such as abortion, evolution, homosexual civil rights and sexism.

"I don't care how many people support evolution, because salvation is not a popularity contest" And thus lies the problem in your belief system, you're so willing to accept the word of fallible man in support of "science", while turning your back on God.
No, not God; just on a literal interpretation of the Bible, a book written by fallible men. Don't confuse the two. We're not all fundie Southern Baptists or Church of God, and they're not the ones who are right just because they smugly say so themselves.
I don't care how many people support evolution, because salvation is not a popularity contest.
The Bible contradicts not just evolution, but physics, astronomy and geology, too. So just disproving evolution wouldn't make Genesis literally plausible. "Intelligent Design" for example, doesn't make Genesis any more plausible than Darwin.
USA is a very religious nation that holds itself to a higher moral standard than other places
The USA has one of the highest rates of serious crime in the western world. And religious people are more likely to be jailed than non-religious people. There is actually a reverse correlation between a country's crime rates and how religious they are. Anyone can claim to have morals.
"...the USA is a very religious nation that holds itself to a higher moral standard than other places." Since when? Because last time I checked, the United States had higher rates of poverty, murder, and drug addiction then just about any other industrialized nation. According to your fundie pals, the USA officially supports the wholesale slaughter of millions of innocent "babies" by abortion. We start wars of aggression that result in the deaths and maiming of hundreds of thousands of people, and when our aggressive tacticts don't work, what's our solution? More troops, weapons, and violence. We tax the hell out of the poor and middle class while giving the super-rich a free pass. We decide that the solution to millions of Americans having no health insurance is to provide a tax break to buy such coverage, completely ignoring the fact that the majority of those without coverage don't make enough money to own income taxes in the first place, so the "solution" to millions of uninsured poor is to provide a subsidy to help pay for the coverage for the wealthy, while the poor still have no coverage. We have built enough nuclear weapons to kill every human being on earth many times over. We trash the environment and expect our grandkids to deal with it. And I could go on and on and on and on...
And you get a "higher moral standard" from all that? Higher than who? The bastard child of Hitler and Satan raised by Saddam in big vat of pure evil?
Roughly 2/3rds of the global population WILL end up in hell for not accepting the truth of the Lord. Are these numbers OKAY with you? They aren't OKAY with me, I am deeply concerned about the human population and its ongoing quest to satisfy SatanAnd here you truly show the hypocrisy of your position.
You admit that you are not happy about the supposed judgement of your imaginary friend, so why don't you go and take up the issue with him and leave the rest of us the hell alone!
Øyvind:
you're so willing to accept the word of falliable man in support of "science", while turning your back on God .
"holds itself to a higher moral standard than other places."
That higher moral standard? A sociological study conducted last summer shows the secular nations of Europe have much lower rates of crime, STD's, teenage pregnancies, and on and on. In some categories the God-fearing USA is seen as dysfunctional.
"And thus lies the problem in your belief system.."
It hasn't been addressed yet, so I'd like to point out that the Theory of Evolution is not "on the rocks," as T&T states.
Um.......I don't even know where to start, that's so much bullshit it's not even funny. How you managed to grow to an age where you can use the Internet when you are obviously phenomenally stupid baffles me.

I dont care how many people support evolution, because salvation is not a popularity contest. Science is not a popularity contest; salvation, on the other hand, seems to be mostly about how popular you are with the heavenly geezer...
And thus lies the problem in your belief system, you're so willing to accept the word of falliable man in support of "science", while turning your back on God.
Science isn't a belief system, you lackwit!
Roughly 2/3rds of the global population WILL end up in hell for not accepting the truth of the Lord.
Only two thirds? And here I thought it only 14400 virgin Jewish men were supposed to get saved...
Are these numbers OKAY with you?
Since they are pulled out of your ass, I don't really care... I don't believe in a life after death anyway.
Are these numbers OKAY with you? They aren't OKAY with me, I am deeply concerned about the human population and its ongoing quest to satisfy Satan(as a whole, luckly there are a few smart individuals who have the wisdom to see through these tricks).
I don't believe in satan either, but if I did I would think that pleasing him may be a smart idea, considering the power you fundies seem to attribute to him.

Al Gore is just a politically motivated Charles Darwin.
While Al Gore would probably feel flattered to be compared with Darwin, I suspect he'd find your questionning of his integrity/sincerity far less enjoyable. Anyway, your analogy is flawed, Gore didn't discover global warming, he's simply trying to raise public awareness about it.
The only thing these two individuals really have in relation to each other, is the location of their eternity after death.
Trying for the non-contradiction award, I see. I suppose that you're technically right, if your consider nothingness a location.

Brain damage whose source Alice Miller has diagnosed in a way that convinces me.
The USA is more moral than other places? So, you have fewer murders than other countries, fewer prisons and executions, fewer rapes, pedophiles, wife-beaters, adulterers, tax evaders, lower child-mortality rates?
Erm, science describes and explains observable (and unobservable) reality. You could almost say science = reality.
Why would you want to compare Al Gore and Charles Darwin? Gore is a politician, Darwin was a naturalist. Gore is an American, Darwin was English. Gore lives now, Darwin died in 1882. Gore is Baptist, Darwin was agnostic Unitarian. They are both men, though...
As for evolution itself, the USA is a very religious nation that holds itself to a higher moral standard than other places.
As an American, this offends me greatly. Why must we always hold ourselves out to be "better" than the rest of the world?
Which is why evolution is "on the rocks" here in the states.
That is just so much bullshit.

1. Strip rubber off of electrical wire.
Something TnT needs to try someday.
Electricity has nothing to do with science. Germ Theory has nothing to with science. Because they can be observed and are part of reality.
But things like evolution and global warming which can also be observed and are part of reality are completely different.
Okay, yeah . . . wait, what? How does that make any sense at all?
And are you saying that science deals only with things that can't be observed and have no correlation to reality? That's not what science means. Fundamentalism, however, fits that definition perfectly.
2/3 of the population were created by God, who gave them free will. So, they, including God, can do whatever they like. It's maybe you the one who has issues?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
