    My, my my. aren't we all full of piss and vinegar, today. I assumed the OP was referencing Christians because following the statement about believing in God, she posted BUT unlike most Christians, believes in the possibility of ALIENS and EVOLUTION. If she wasn't addressing Christians, what was the point of that phrase??? Also, her question about what CHURCH to attend was indicative of who she was talking about. Or are there other religions that believe in God, where worship is done in churches? On a more general point, I answered the OP based on what I thought was being asked. Sorry you got your panties all bunched from my reply.

    that doesn't make it wrong. Maybe it'll be right some day, but your claim that this situation is "imminent" doesn't really hold water. That would explain why the price of crude has dropped 12% in the last two weeks and down about 30% from its July highs.

    Like the mass hysteria over impending demise of the planet.

    From April '03 to July '06 the price of crude climbed from $25/barrel to $79/barrel. That's an increase of over 200%. During that same period, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the least volatile of commonly followed stock indexes) climbed about 40 percent. Why?

    Ooh, you're a big fibber. That would also include doctors of theology. And who the hell cares if someone with a Ph.D. in Classical Literature or Theater and Dance is a theist? Oh look! Someone doing their best to miss the point. Durr! Or you could just read my posts.

    You need to learn the difference between concensus and overwhelming. Pedantic and irrelevant. It must be Thursday.

    Smug, self-righteous and wrong. What a tard. Irony score 10. How do you KNOW he's wrong? It's a bullshit claim that the consensus opinion is the Earth is currently not in a natural warming cycle.

    I meant physicians.

    Aside from knowing God exists and the claim that God IS everything (versus created everything), I'd guess a significant portion of Christians in this country would fit your description. To answer your question - most churches. Wrong, She made no mention of Jesus, you reversed her question and ignored a few tenets of faith. She is using the term God in a generic sense, but even if she weren't; Muslims, Christians and Jews all profess to believe in the same single deity but are obviously not all Christians, so even with belief in God by either definition you're still wrong. Your reply makes no sense. I stiil contend that a person who believes in God, and in the possibility of evolution and aliens, would be welcomed at most mainstream Protestant churches.

    Of course, if the same poll is taken in Russia, the percentage will be remarkably smaller. Also, the Chinese scientists. A poll that has it population loaded at the start, isn't really statistically significant. The Hmong hill tribesman still believe in Animism. They believe that rocks and trees have spirits, just like the Druids did. However, they are viewed as primitive and their beliefs are viewed as mythology. No one polls the primitives. No one is racing out to say, "Hey, I believe in Jaquar spirits like the Amazon Indians." Way to miss the point. your previous post was all about mocking the intellect and reasoning abilities of Christians. All I did was show that two groups (doctors and scientists), who are thought to have superior intelligence and reasoning abilities, are mostly religious and believe in a higher power. Doesn't quite jibe with the "Christians are just a bunch of superstitious, ignorant sheep" stereotype many on this board are so fond of.

    Anyone heard of columnist Tom Teepen? Here's what he had to say, last week: Smug, self-righteous and wrong. What a tard.
  12. NCclimber
    Especially all those ignorant doctors and scientists.

    Thanks for the unbiased source. I found a link to the Virginia Business Magazine that confirmed the $190 million figure. It was interesting to read his organizations gave $180 million to charities - in 2004 alone. I wonder if those people who seem so intent on vilifying various Christian organizations ever make the effort to find out the good things these organizations accomplish. Tsunami relief? Katrina relief? Guess where much of the charity support comes from? And the thing is, these Christian organizations are trying to help day in and day out, not just when there is a major disaster.

    You just gotta laugh.

    On the upside, energy prices are dropping.

    Is anyone other than "the always credible" Greg Palast making this claim? BTW Palst claim's his net worth is between $200 million and $1 billion.

    I thought he was asking about Christians. I'm pretty sure that Christians would be welcome at either of those churches. Just as non-Christians are welcome at most Christian churches.

    To avoid pedantic criticisms, write grammatically correct, well though out posts. Poorly constructed, stupid posts just beg for the wrong kind of attention.

    Incorrect - when they sign the contract they are signing up for *8* years. If they re-enlist for another 4, then they have completed their commitment after that term. Otherwise, they are still liable for callup until the total of 8 years are completed, and as part of the IRR after that - just like any other veteran. My point is that he served two tours and was honorably discharged. Now the Army is saying none of that matters. Get you ass back RIGHT NOW!

    Sidestepping the legal technicalities of this story, it seems like this soldier is being required to serve well beyond what most people would consider reasonable. The military is abusing it's legal right to require enlistee's to serve additional tours. Even for soldiers who enlisted after 9/11, there is an unwritten expectation of what "might" be required of them. I say might because a friend of mine was required to repay an obligation. He served 2 1/2 years of a 4 year obligation and was able to get honorably discharged early. Outside of basic training, he never served outside of Florida. What is being required of this sergeant is IMO unreasonable and an abuse of authority.

    When there's an opportunity to brand a Republican congressman as a pedophile!

    WOW! Who says there's no irrational hostility towards Christianity in this country?
