first your first post. i believe those are all from the old testament. the old testament law was created by man. the new testament law by god. it doesnt mean you should follow it.
second post. forest gump is a movie for entertainment. the bible is a book of stories laws and accounts of history. meaning im not debating that some of it is fiction and some nonfiction. im saying it HAS truth to it. most of which is EASILY discernable. its not to just be tossed aside as entertainment.
he partly belives it. just like i believe in micro evolution. not macro.
darwin made observations of micro evolution and made a bold conclusion that PERHAPS all living things slowly evolved in this process. it was a theory that is easily disproved by science.

Lol! It just a joke. (Even if he does fit the descrimination perfectly.) Did you not notice the ? Or did you think those were his laughing demon minions? I just making a joke, because that's one hell (bad punne, 'scuse me) of a coincidince if you ask me. The bible probably was talking about someone else. I read a really interesting thing the other day saying Bill Clinton was the anti christ...
BTW, I know I brought it up, but let's not make this topic about religion, I said it jokingly.
So the new testamant says crazy stuff, but that doesn't mean you should follow it? So what should you follow? Basically you get to just pick and choose what's relevant in today's society or whatever fits your personal ethics.
I don't really get where you're coming from on this. Some of it's true, some of it's not, it's not meant to be entertainment? So what is it? I could go out and write 20 pages right now. 10 of them could have facts that are 100% accurate, things about history, math, etc. Then write another 10 pages that have laws and rules that I made up. It's the same thing.

again you need to read the bible justin. i never said pick and choose. i said the old testament as well, not new testament. the new testament law replaced the old testament law. thats why jesus came and died. i never said pick and choose. the new laws arent even crazy. theyre reasonable, and guess what! most laws in most countries are SCARILY similar.
I just realized why gridquest was crashing when doing a certain action. Stare closely at this and tell me if you can figure out how the heck MMF2 created THAT when converting from TGF.
Back on topic, we have a recount upcoming in my state. The two sleazebags senators got within 500 votes of each other, and nobody really cares because it won't give the democrats their 60 either way, but now its going to be an entire month of recounts.

I've made it a point to stay away from this topic, but I couldn't help poke my head in when I saw Codemonkey had posted. This is what I was going to say-- micro evolution is entirely different from macro. I'm actually very surprised that *most* of you in here have behaved yourself so well, or at least on this page you have.
I really can't think of anything else to say... There are a number of things I could touch on, but there's no need. I haven't been following the conversation. And now, I shall go.
Ok, so what are you trying to prove? That god is real because a book with some rules that aren't absolutely insane has some accurate history lessons in it? I guess that's what I'm getting at.
