Hi,

I was raised as a Christian. I don't really think about religion or philosophy stuff ever, but I go to church sometimes. I also read the Bible and it told me to have faith in God, and that I have to ask Jesus to forgive me for my sins or else I will go to Hell, so I believe in God and Jesus cuz of the Bible.

I also wonder how God could not exist, cuz if he didn't exist, then how can you explain the way there are so many different kinds of life? Like, how could there be so many thousands of different kinds of animals and plants and stuff just by accident. I mean, maybe one or two kinds of stuff, could be by accident, but there are soooo many though, so I dunno, that must be like it has to be that God did it I would think right?

Also, my friend got really mad at me and said that I was a moron because I said I didn't believe in evolution. I don't really know much about evolution though, all I know is just my friends from church told me it's bad and that basically it says that we are related to other animals and that our ancestors are germs or somethign they said. But that sounds pretty silly to me, bacteria are pretty tiny like you need a microscope even jus to see them at all, so I don't think they could be our dads from earlier. I dunno, I'm not really too much into all the science nerdy stuff, cuz nerds are so lame whenever I meet them they always talk about weird stuff that's stupid or crazy it seems like. I just want to play some football and pray to my lord and savior and have a good stable family am I right, who cares about silly like crazy stuff they always talk about like oh I bet there's aliens in some other galaxy they said to me. Lol I don't get how they could think there are aliens, in the Bible it doesn't talk about anyone besides us, so I think God would have said something if there were other people he made.

Anyway, so if you guys could maybe explain to me what my crazy atheist friend is trying to tell me about cuz he said he doesn't want to bother telling me cuz he's busy with work right now, so he said I should just ask you guys.

I guess I am a lil curious tho I guess we'll see what answers you guys have for some of this. Thanks.

It is way too obvious that you are joking.

About all of it.

"Evolution is wrong because nerds are lame." It's not believable that anybody who is smart enough to type in complete sentences (as you are) would believe that.

I can't tell if this is a bad hollywood fake account, or someone doing a bad hollywood impression. Either way, this thread is fcking terrible.

Hollywood? What in the world are you talking about?

And I did not say that evolution is bad because of nerds I don't think. I don't know too much about, but I just know I heard about how we are related to other animals, even tiny bacteria and all this silly stuff. Maybe you can explain it better, but I can't imagine how it is possible that its true though.

yeah, because someone who would bother to ask a question in this forum (FCP, off-topic, but specifically and especially the religion forum) wouldn't know who hollywood is. Seems likely.

I find it somewhat ironacal that more self confessed godless atheists, post in the religion forum than the believers do.



However they are right, this has to be a joke.

Er, lol? I think the term you're looking for is "atheists," unless you call Christians "self confessed God-believing Christians."

Godless? What, are you killing Indians in 1820?

I also think he meant ironical, though he shouldn't.

I just noticed your avatar was super grover. I'm not sure what I thought it was before that, as I hadn't really studied it, but what ever i thought it was, it wasn't super grover.
