Also by now, you are probably sick of hearing people discuss the idea of intelligent design as an alternative to the theory of evolution. However, this topic has come up exponentially more in recent weeks, and I find myself getting infuriated by it. Just so you know, this is

lol. You seem really excited about that. Are you just going to squirrel it away like Liz?

Sorry, I was worried that someone else would take it. Now for something more logical.
I am always up for criticism, as long as it is presented in a logical and non-argumentative fashion. pssh. that's criticism for wusses. i prefer baseless insults and retorts of "well...you're dumb!"

Yay for evolution. In many ways, it's hard to be a Christian (or Jew or Muslim or Wiccan or Whatever) today. Over on the right, there's Bob Jones University and the Planned Parenthood protesters and etc giving religious people a bad name. Then, on the left, you get people asking you "You believe in the bible? Well, what about this law in this line that supports slavery/gaybashes?" (silly militant atheists. God didn't write those laws, religious elders of the times wrote those laws!)

and i ranted too. sorry, jeff.

I know what you mean, but even those lines that condone slavery and such have to be taken in the context of the time. If they were, you would see that the slaves were treated far better by those in the Bible than by many other slave owners.

And often those people that point out the slavery and homophobia are the same ones that ignore the Golden Rule of "Do unto others what you would have others do unto you."

I love hypocrites.
