God speaks about all of this in his word…….

“But beware of men: for they shall deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” Matthew 10:17-20

“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven” Matthew 10:32-33

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” II Tim.3:1-5

Stacy -
Evolution isn’t “ultimate truth” it only provides an explanation for the development of life on earth over time. It doesn’t have a set of practices or beliefs, it is based on observation and experimentation, not faith. Evolution provides no transcendent of supernatural quality. It is science, plain and simple. Science starts with theory and tries to prove the theory. If the theory is not proven, it is rejected. People who practice the scientific method start from a position of ignorance and move towards greater understanding. Religion starts from an assumed position of “all knowingness” and stays there. But it is only an assumption, not testable by direct, repeatable experience. You are wearing blinders. Talk this over with educated people, not just fellow Christians. You are not the only one confused, but confused you are.

Thinker-

This is for you off of your favorite source Wikipedia:
“Religion is an organized approach to human spirituality which usually encompasses a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices, often with a supernatural or transcendent quality, that give meaning to the practitioner’s experiences of life through reference to a higher power, God or gods, or ultimate truth”….i.e EVOLUTION for some.

For all the folks who are so determined that the “LAW” should be followed, I have this question: When you drove your car today, did you come to a complete stop at that stop sign – or did you obey the speed limit signs? Why not? Are you above the law? Or are there just certain laws that are best to be obeyed? Which ones are those, may I ask?

If you did not, then you are a hypocrite yourself if you fault these men for doing what they thought was right, regardless of the ruling/law.

How would you feel if your child’s muslim teacher took out a mat and started a muslim prayer in the classroom? They dont have to participant, but can look around the room in this akward situation. Or maybe you think they should participate to avoid looking out of place. How would you feel as a christian to attend a work funtion and have to sit through a jewish prayer? I dont have a problem with any religion praying in church, in their own home, or quietly to themselves. You can even send your child to a private school that practices the religion of your choice. I read something once that said “there are no christian children, just children of christian parents’. Both sides are all yelling, but no one is listening.

Christians are SOOOO hypocritical! The same religious nut-jobs who ask how could anyone possibly be offended or harmed simply by hearing a prayer are the very same nut-jobs who were freaking out about the President speaking directly to school children.

I don’t know which makes me laugh more, the ridiculous things they believe or the ridiculous gyrations these hypocrites go through to hold on to their fairly-tales and shield their children from the truth.
