If this was not the case then they would just simply ignore and go on about their business
So if some other religion or god came along that you didn't believe in and the people that believed in this myth wanted to teach their version of creation to your kids, or have a say in your politics... Would you ignore it and go about your business?

Clever turn about

Do you think I can ignore you? .... better believe it

And this is what you should do .... there are 8 billion people on the planet today and 98.93% of them refute the God of the Bible [even if they claim to be a Christian] .... so you should feel exalted ... you are in the majority

So stop your honking and go about your business

This sign demonstrates the lack of intelligence of those sponsoring their atheistic views. They think church is a building, LOL. They fail to understand that WE are the Church, and a vibrant, living entity at that. Perhaps next year they'll be more accurate with their message of intolerance by displaying a sign that states, "All I want for Christmas is to skip worship services." Silly atheists. :)

Be careful of those broad brush strokes.
I actively, openly and proudly fight against Islam.

So how do you actively, openly and proudly fight against Islam?

Message Boards?
Billboards?
Cartoons? ( a la Danish...who now fend off axe attacks)




PS - I did say "most" atheists and not all. I think I covered my bases with being broad ;)

I am sure you must be a very anti religious person, without distinction to any. My apologies.

So here we go again.Whether you celebrate Christmas or you dont this sign is ridiculous...
When I was that age I might well have had a similar sentiment.

As a kid I got to the point that I no longer wanted to go to church. That sign expresses a very real sentiment for some.

I'm all for the public rejection and partitioning against religion but getting kids involved is my main gripe with this.

One of the main criticisms against religion is the indoctrination of the young.. So for the opposition to go down the same route doesn't sit right with me.
Indoctrination of the young? Please, evolution is taught as truth across the board (even though it's an adult fairytale, actual fairy-tales contain more truth) and atheists kick up a stink about indoctrination? Now that's indoctrination. What they really mean is they don't want any beliefs that aren't theirs to be taught from an early age (or at all). It's clear as plastic wrap.

What's illuminating is that each year, the Christmas threads pop-up in any-what-not direction, yet what's fueling the atheist mind-set across once-upon-a-time Christian nations is not Christmas --or getting rid of Christmas--, but the gasping religion of Evolution in all public schools year-round! ...just sayin'. :p
It is silly to say evolution is a religion. It clearly is not.

Evolution is most evidently a religion.
Also, I'm sorry church services were a chore for you. They're not meant to be some fun concert, but they are meant to challenge you, encourage you and edify you to grow in Christ and get to know Him more and more.

​Well, what are the facts?

1. Evolution denies the need for an intelligent Creator of the Universe, and Creator of Earth.

It is mathematically impossible to correctly line-up one (1) human DNA strand from a "Big Bang" entropy. It is further exponentially impossible to correctly line-up all the DNA strands for all the various organisms upon Earth. Remember, Evolution teaches that from the degradation of matter and energy in the Universe, living organisms formed to an ultimate state of uniformity, intelligent, linguistic human and well, Your parents happened. :)

2. Evolution was complied by humanists and atheist (both teams harbor the absolute denial of theism. That's not science; that's religion).

3. Evolution attempts to explains everything in terms of Natural Laws alone, which most are impossible to prove in a "scientific setting" (the so called "Scientific Method"). This requires "faith" to take evolution at face-value.

4. Evolution has zero explanation for how human language came to exist.

5. Evolution has zero explanation for how human intelligence, learning ability, memory retention, love attachments came to exist.

6. Evolution has zero allowance for moral absolutes. Yes, it is very wrong to murder regardless of when or where you existed on the Evolution chart.

7. Evolution holds Homo sapiens (Mankind) at the top of the food chain. So, what are current humans evolving into? Obamacare tax?

Humans are unable to solve their social problems because it requires God Himself to bring correct order to His good Earth.

If I may retain your patience a little longer, it would be highly appreciated. :)

Evolution is the religion of the Atheists, and here are some peculiar facts.

1. Atheist, like sodomites, are very well organized throughout Europe, Canada and the US. They have "memberships" to discuss & exchange their humanistic (Evolution) ideas to openly impose as "secular" dogma upon the rest in society. This is similar to Christian Conventions (minus the "Christian" part LOL).

2. Atheist have "summer camps" (minus the "summer" part LOL) and hold yearly Conferences Worldwide in which they publicize their evolution dogma, camps to train fellow Atheists to advance evolution into all public schools and Universities, online news groups, at libraries, in Congress, etc.

3. Atheist meet frequently to discuss local, State and National politics, especially to advance Evolution by meticulously studying Christian thought to ridicule and degrade it. This is similar to Protestants and RCC debating about who gets to be Pope.

4. Atheist Organizations collect dues from their members to cover distribution expenses, office space expenses, printing expenses, Evolution author publications, Evolution speaker expenses, pretty much overhead bills similar to what all churches have.

5. The main and only focus of Atheists is, pretty much, to "educate" as many as possible to convert to Evolution from whatever religion exposed at home. They assemble all kinds of colorful computer graphics and computer animation of cool DNAs, fanciful Solar Systems, Dinosaurs and extravagant Universe engineering straight from Nova particles and well, the works. This is pretty much known as "evangelizing" in this neck-of-the-woods. :D

6. Atheist have meetings to encourage each other in their 'freewill' whatchamacallit Science of Evolution doctrines. Where I come from, this is called "Fellowship." :D

7. Atheist are imperative at imposing Evolution as "scientific fact," yet facts require intelligence, which Intelligent Design has included, but Atheist will exclude. This is similar to Pentecostals refusing a Baptist to preach at their Convention, but insisting that "Speaking in Tongues" be taught at all Baptist Universities.

In other words, Atheist are frighten of students being presented with both sides of the "facts." If their Evolution religion holds, then let the students decide that. But when all students are a captive audience to Evolution dogma, and nobody gets to learn the facts about Intelligent Design, then yeah, Evolutionists are paranoid of the truth itself.

Okie dokie. I'll catch some zzzz. Lord be your wisdom. Later. :)

My question is has anyone witnessed evolution or is it a presumptuous find from digging up bones?

i agree with that ^

people often say "evolution" when what they are actually talking about is humanism.

I think you mean 'naturalism' or 'materialism'. 'Humanism' is a different kettle of fish.

i'd put it like this:
evolution is a mechanism that explains how biodiversity arises. within species it's well documented - dog breeding, for example. across species and across phyla etc. the evidence becomes more and more circumstantial, 'hand-waving' and speculative. that's neither here nor there.
evolution isn't an origin story. it has nothing to say about where life came from or if God's hand guides nature or not. it has nothing to say about whether or not things are created. just how they are, now that they exist, and how they change over time.

religious philosophies like secular humanism on the other hand have their own theories of origin - ex nihlio and ex forte - out of nothing and by chance - and use a much broader, speculative 'theory' of evolution than what can be demonstrated by science to support their origin story and atheistic worldview. that's not part of what a biologist would call "evolution" at all.

so technically speaking - which is an important way for a scientist or philosopher to speak - evolution itself isn't a religion. humanism is.
humanists will say 'o it's not it's a philosophy' -- well, by it mankind declares himself tantamount to god. by that measure buddhism isn't a religion either, nor is christianity. it is another philosophy, and a relationship with the living God, respectively.
