Your post: "3500 churches will close their doors"

KJV wrote:

Really, you think that's the same?

Yes. Consistent, anyway.

KJV wrote:

One post 3500 to 4000 churches close down every year. The other says about 4000 new churches open ever year while about 3500 close leaving a GROWTH of 500 churches.

Yes, they do.

His post was saying last nights football score was 24 to 9 Raiders! While the finale score was 24 to 30 Packers.
Posting the half time score as if it was the finale score is as miss leading as an all out lie.

No. His post was the equivalent of saying that the Raiders scored 24 points. The rebuttal was "No they didn't. The Packers scored thirty. Here's the score: 30-24."

Then you're admitting Christianity belongs trash heap of history.
Or is it all ancient myths but yours?

I don't believe in myths, remember? Actually, I had the myths of science in mind, lol.

TEN MYTHS OF SCIENCE

" ... the ten myths of science, as recognized by W. McComas of the School of Education, University of Southern California. McComas analyzes each "myth" in depth, explaining why it is not a "truth."

Myth 1. Hypotheses turn into theories which eventually become enshrined as laws.
Myth 2. Hypotheses are really only educated guesses.
Myth 3. There exists a scientific method that is general and universal.
Myth 4. Certainty results when facts are accumulated and analyzed.
Myth 5. The scientific method leads to absolute truth.
Myth 6. Science is less creative than it is procedural.
Myth 7. All questions posed by the universe can be answered via the scientific method.
Myth 8. High objectivity is the hallmark of science.
Myth 9. Scientific knowledge is based mainly on experiment.
Myth 10. Scientists always review and check the work of their colleagues.
(McComas, William; "Ten Myths of Science: Reexamining What We Think We Know...," School Science & Mathematics, vol. 96, January 1, 1996. Cr. M. Truzzi)

In a letter to Sir Charles Lydell, one of Charles Darwin's mentors, Darwin *actually* wrote:
"You seemed to have worked admirably on the species question; there could not have been a better plan than reading up on the opposite side. I rejoice profoundly that you intend admitting the doctrine of modification in your new edition;* nothing, I am convinced, could be more important for its success. I honour you most sincerely. To have maintained in the position of a master, one side of a question for thirty years, and then deliberately give it up, is a fact to which I much doubt whether the records of science offer a parallel. For myself, also, I rejoice profoundly; for, thinking of so many cases of men pursuing an illusion for years, often and often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may not have devoted my life to a phantasy.*Now I look at it as morally impossible that investigators of truth, like you and Hooker, can be wholly wrong, and therefore I rest in peace.* Thank you for criticisms, which, if there be a second edition, I will attend to. I have been thinking that if I am much execrated as an atheist, etc., whether the admission of the doctrine of natural selection could injure your works; but I hope and think not, for as far as I can remember, the virulence of bigotry is expended on the first offender, and those who adopt his views are only pitied as deluded, by the wise and cheerful bigots."
Darwin, Charles, Darwin, Francis, ed., Selected Letters on Evolution and Origin of Species (Courier Dover Publications' 1958 edition), pp. 224-5.(My emphasis.)
Why are Christians so dishonest?

Lol – No dishonesty from me. The Darwin quotation you are objecting to was found here:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/6086650/EVOLUTION-C...

It was also found on other web pages. In fact, it's all over the internet, exactly as I copied and pasted it:“Often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may have not devoted myself to a fantasy.”

Should you wish to dispute the quotation or the authenticity of it, you need to contact the web pages, not me. You have your work cut out for you, since there are many, many web pages which publish the quote just as I posted it, but I'm sure they will all be delighted to hear from you. I have no interest in your post, but maybe one of the web page publishers will offer you a position on their editorial staff; lmao.

Do we need yet another recap?

Thanks for admitting your ignorance in grammar, but you didn't need to tell us.

It's rather obvious from your clumsy construction and use of double dashes in this grammatically incorrect sentence you composed:

“And, yes, your fascination with -- and reliance on -- dishonesty has already been noted.”

You're an uneducated fool and a childish whiner.

What a hoot: Hugh Ross' website.
Ripped from Wiki:
"Ross believes that the vast majority of UFOs, flying saucers, and aliens can be scientifically explained, but for a tiny fraction of unexplained encounters they appear to be interactions with demons."
But at least you're crediting you apologetics now instead of stealing them.

If you wish to dispute the contents of any web page, you need to contact the publisher of the page, or the author of the content to which you object - not the forum poster who provided you with the link.

I often ask local godbots who want to quote me scripture before they get going, so why should anyone care what the bible says?
90% it cuts them to the quick so fast they walk away stammering and muttering to themselves. If they curse me to hell I smile and say, Then I might as well get my money's worth. And stare at them with a wicked smile.
Actually had a Christhole start crying when I did that!

No tears from me, lmao

It never bothers me in the least how you smile or don't smile, or if you care or don't care what the Bible says. I leave those petty worries to your grandma.

Shattering the Myths of Darwinism

Compelling evidence that the most important assumptions on which Darwinism rests are wrong.
The controversial best-seller that sent Oxford University and Nature magazine into a frenzy has at last come to the United States. Shattering the Myths of Darwinism exposes the gaping holes in an ideology that has reigned unchallenged over the scientific world for a century. Darwinism is considered to be hard fact, the only acceptable explanation for the formation of life on Earth, but with keen insight and objectivity Richard Milton reveals that the theory totters atop a shambles of outdated and circumstantial evidence which in any less controversial field would have been questioned long ago. Sticking to the facts at hand and tackling a vast array of topics, Shattering the Myths of Darwinism offers compelling evidence that the theory of evolution has become an act of faith rather than a functioning science, and that not until the scientific method is applied to it and the right questions are asked will we ever get the true answers to the mystery of life on Earth.

Ok let me get this straight. You sit on these threads and post hundreds of vile post against Christians and their faith but I'm not allowed to attack on my fist address straight to you? Read below
God gives us a command to rid the earth of the like of you and your pet dog!
""Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt"
Now you know why we must attack you and the horse you rode in in!"

He also commands you never to eat shellfish o rwear clothes made from mixed fabrics.

I trust you obey those orders.

"1 Kings 7:26
And it was a handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held two thousand baths.
This suggests that the bowl was not paper-thin; it was a handbreadth thick. My dictionary simply defines a "handbreadth" as "the breadth of the hand - from 2 1/2 to 4 inches." I measured my own handbreadth - thumb to pinky with the hand laid flat, measured perpendicular to the arm - this is also hard to measure, made even harder by how tightly I place my fingers next to each other, but mine is about 4 inches.
But what if the circumference had been measured from the inside of the bowl, and the diameter from outside? Then the diameter of the inside is 10 cubits minus two handbreadths. Using my measurements, the circumference is 30 cubits times 18.5 inches per cubit equals 555 inches, the diameter of the inside is 177 inches: 185 inches (10 cubits times 18.5 inches) minus 8 inches for the two handbreadths. In this case Circumference / Diameter = 555 / 177 = 3.135593 (which is itself rounded), but this is much closer to what we think of us as the true value of pi."

I never click on links posted by xtians

No doubt it's some apologetic waffle provided by some supplicant and simpering xtian who spends hie entire life bent in subservience to some unproveable supernatural being.

All I need to know is that the Bible says Pi = 3

I have no need of an interpretation provided by someone who thinks that genocide is a good thing.
