It is when you allow a blind devotion to that faith to obliterate the ability to see things as they truly are that you become closed minded.
because i do ot accept your perspective? the same could be said about you. you spend more time making me the issue than posting your point of view. if you were so open-minded, you would discuss not attack.
now i am lost as to what is being on topic in this thread? this feels like a jeopardy category called hodge podge---anything goes. i am not here to hijack but discuss.
once again, i am not the issue, if you dislike what i say, post links and sources so i can rebut. i am not interested in talking about your family, i just raised a point about your wife because you opened the door. the disobedience comes from the new testament but that is aqs far as i will take this sub-topic.
Seems that they considered themselves christians...further, not only Knights were requisitioned to go but also men-at-arms. They were looking for as big a force of christians as they could get. Your attempt to distinguish catholic and christian, in 1096, is pointless. They were all one.
not everyone who considers themselves christians truly are one. i would quote scripture to back that up but it would not be germane to the purpose of his forum.
But his murderous followers exist and have done great harm throughout history.
if He didn't exist, how cold He have followers? why would people die for a person who did not exist?
This is a science board
back to your old stand-by. when ever you get stumped tis is what comes out. i have used science quite well to back my points, science is never free from religion or the Bible no matter how hard it tries.
when you are battered from all sides
if you all are so open-minded and tolerant as you all claim, thenthat should not happen and i would actually get discussions instead of rampaging rage.

Irrelevant. It's a self-defining process. The hypocrisy gap between what christians believe and the way they act is larger than for any other religious group.

Are you saying that Osiris existed...or Mithras....or Zeus. They all had followers. People will believe any stupid thing that comes along. In fact, there is almost no limit to the stupidity of what people will believe.

Stumped? By you? That will be the day. You use non-science. You use outdated science. Even worse, you use the bible!

Open-minded does not mean that ignorance and superstition must be blindly tolerated.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
The supposed "inadverant" dropping of evolutionary biology from the list of funded subjects - per the first post in the thread. Apparently the mistake was going to be corrected, but nothing yet.
Or - the US government is currently over run by bible thumping bigots who want only their version of the world taught in schools, and like that nut bar in the 1980s are waiting for the return of Jesus to solve all their problems while the world envirnment crumbles unattended.
SO - has there been any word on a retraction of what they call an inadvertant ommission? Is the subject back on the funded list?

People who use their position of public trust to attempt to crush scientific inquiry to promote their own religion are bigots. There is room for both science and religion in the world. Both are attempts to explain how things work. A public figure or agency attempting to misuse the trust placed in them by the people to advance their faith over reason is a bigot in my book.
Yes, Oas, the Darwinian Monolith is oppressive, and I'm glad you have pointed-out that Darwinism is a faith-based notion (goo to you), which is, in fact, forced upon young impressionable minds, so you're right on this one, Oas, Darwinites do force their faith on others, over reason, so you're correct that they are bigots.

You twist better than Chubby Checker. No truth or facts, but lots of good twisting. Where's that Atlantis thread you were going to start?
