Might be a weird question but does the fact that God is believed to be a male figure play in the minds of women? Do women secretly feel inferior because of it?
The same way I heard some minorities subconsciously feel inferior to whites since the general picture of Jesus is a white male figure?
in conclusion, it seems that either ;
a. the majority of NT are non-believers
or
b. a lot of the believers stay mum on voicing their religious beliefs to save being dragged into a debate
either way, i'm really surprised how ubiquitous the notion of not believing in God and Jesus is on NT, considering the population of Christians in the world. I definitely thought it would be the other way around.
.
So their bone to pick is more with the Bible, not the Bible going along with science. It doesn't bother me I was just looking for elucidation.yeah, i'm just telling you what some people believe regarding christians that accept the bible and science. argue with them if that bothers you.So? Many people would say that God is doing the same thing now, and has been for centuries.
if god created humans as they appear today, humans did not evolve from other apes.What evidence do you have that they clash?
you can search around on google if you're curious. also, the chart you provided lists a percentage for acceptance of those ideas.Can you post that poll? Also, reference this chart which disagrees with what you said
as for the chart you provided, my original post mentioned being taught about a young earth and that evolution is false. i think that indicates what type of creationism i'm referring to. what you posted seems to provide a percentage for the people that accept those ideas as well.
the source of the problem is the bible, yeah.So their bone to pick is more with the Bible, not the Bible going along with science. It doesn't bother me I was just looking for elucidation.
again, i was just presenting the views of others because you asked.As for the second part, you sound like a young earth creationist or gap creationist . Just kidding. But if you look at the other two types, they would say that they go along with evolution. So that's not true.
my conclusion comes from information i've seen scattered throughout the internet over the years. i'm not going to bother trying to find it all because i never intended to get into this discussion. i tried to provide for you an idea of how many people subscribe to the view because you asked. i didn't intend for a gallup poll to be my only source of information. i suggest you research the topic further if it interests you.I looked but I couldn't find it. I just find it... interesting.. that you would provide your conclusion from the poll without allowing others to discern a conclusion from the information.
You said those ppl were not worth talking to. I disagree. That's what I meant by those first two lines. If that's how you handle them/it (that situation) that's you, doesn't really address what I said previously.I'm confused about your first two sentences, but I'd sincerely like to know what you mean by them.Originally Posted by Master Zik View Post
As dismissive as their beliefs may be, I'm not ready to dismiss the ppl no matter how disgusting and ugly they may act. The sooner all ppl get on the page with certain things the better off we'll all be.
To be clear though, I was never arguing whether or not those ppl were worthy of talking to. You were speaking as if they did not exist or because you have not encountered them they're not apart of the problem or should be considered.
My tone may have made you think that, but I wasn't saying that. I know they exist, and have encountered them. I just know that people are stubborn and bull-headed by nature, so attempting to engage them is tantamount to casting pearls before swine.
That's fine. I had trouble discerning what you believe from what you're telling me others believe because you said it so matter of factly that I attributed it to you. That's why I was asking those questions.again, i was just presenting the views of others because you asked.

oh, yeah. my mind is kind of all over the place and i often have a hard time remembering what i said, how i said it, etc. i guess i'm just lazy and don't bother checking. i apologize for that.That's fine.
