I take the easiest path of a conflicted individual...God created the first organism. Do you know where animal a came from? The ocean, volcanoes, a complex combination? Or is that unknown?

so god is sayin we are all mistakes that makes me feel good (not)

Charles Darwin recounted in his biography of his grandfather Erasmus Darwin how false stories were circulated claiming that Erasmus had called for Jesus on his deathbed. Charles concluded by writing "Such was the state of Christian feeling in this country [in 1802].... We may at least hope that nothing of the kind now prevails." Despite this hope, very similar stories were circulated following Darwin's own death, most prominently the "Lady Hope Story", published in 1915 which claimed he had converted on his sickbed. Such stories have been propagated by some Christian groups, to the extent of becoming urban legends, though the claims were refuted by Darwin's children and have been dismissed as false by historians.

I have to do this paper anyway, may as well get in a good few arguments. It does do me good to think that someone's watching over me...though under other circumstances that'd be awkward. I suppose that's one of the pros of Christianity, the feeling of acceptance and understanding. Still, I usually take on a more skeptical look at life and consequently fall into a brooding state...I don't truly believe Darwin did denounce Evolution on his deathbed, and historians have discredited the thought. I'll investigate...

EDIT:

Lady Elizabeth Reid Hope (née Cotton1; December 9, 1842–8 March 1922) was a British evangelist who is generally believed to be the Lady Hope who claimed in 1915 that she had visited the British naturalist Charles Darwin shortly before his death in 1882. Hope claimed that Darwin had recanted his theory of evolution on his deathbed, and accepted Jesus Christ as a savior.

Charles Darwin's family denied the story, and insisted that Lady Hope "was not present during his last illness, or any illness." The Lady Hope Story is generally recognized, even by many Creationists, to be false — or at least unverifiable — and if true, probably exaggerated. The story remains a popular urban legend, even though it stands in sharp contrast to Darwin's published and known views about Christianity.

Yeah.I Think Jesus Meant Sybolically To Represent His Sacrifice To The World.

lol..yea...Animal A came from where all other lifeforms originated, in the primordial soup. Lightning strikes caused ammino acids to form and connect to make complex lifeforms. Bacteria were the 1st forms of life follwed by more complex multi-cellular organisms. This is evolution in its grandest sense. This is the conflict between religion and science, if there even is one. I believe God made "something", but that "something" evolved over the eons.

Man...lemme get my pizza out the oven so I can stay on this


lol

For most of those it is saying, those who eat my flesh and drink my blood in a symbolic way will have eternal life. Basically, those who believe in me and what I am will have eternal life.

In communion the bread and wine symbolize the body and blood, I mean, we can't just tear apart someone for communion, there wouldnt be anyone left.

That'd be a whooooooollllllleee lotta laughin people. Some of the "history" (and I say that purely tounge in cheek) in the bible is a retelling of other "histories" from other books and events in other religions that didn't even happen in the time span they state it did. Like the birth of Jesus. Or the name "jesus" which wasn't even his name.

Virtually EVERYTHING Paul states in the Bible is completely fabricated. He never even MET Jesus!! So...how could he have been an apostle? The telling and the painting of the supposed "Last Supper" is also false, since Paul is pictured and described in the presence of Jesus, whom he never met in his life. There's so many lies and contradictions of events in the bible it'll make your head spin like the Excorsist.

Don't feel for a moment that the human ego isn't so selfish as to immortalize it self in a book that people were going to pass along for generations. Which reminds me, time to make another thread.



That's not a freaudian refference to anything. People are perfectly concious that they are making that statement, which is a common phrase in our scociety. Other civilizations don't go around saying that lol.

And I'm still looking to see which comunities PRACTICE cannibalism and do it out of compliment as you suggested.



Where did "God" destroy the world that we still live in?
Where specifically does it say that god says it regreted making man kind?




Ok, so basiclaly, you're saying that the KING was a cannibal, which we alredy knew. But what you're ignoring is that you're saying that the King was THAT hard up for a meal that he boiled his own son?

I highly doubt it.



What's symbolic in "eat my flesh and drink my blood, for my flesh is just as any other meat and my blood is as any other drink"?

Jesus wasn't the type to try to confuse anyone, he spoke clearly. It's their own misinterpretation of his statements that confuse people, like taking meaning from something he never stated. If he wanted you to eat some bread and drink some wine, he'd have said "eat bread and drink wine, and pretend it's my body and blood". Wafers are not bread. crackers are not bread. Grape Juice is not wine. Grape Kool-aide is not wine. So how is anyone paying dues to this statement if they aren't even consuming the actual food they say he said to consume!!

Especially when that "food" is his own body in the literal sense, as illustrated whne he states "heat my flesh, for my flesh is just as any other meat, and my blood is just as any other drink". That dosen't say "eat this bread" nor "drink this wine".

People did crazy shit back then, just like when they say animals eat their young sometimes....

and i don't know if its true or not but i once heard of some girl who's husband payed no attention to her he payed all of his attention towards the baby and she killed the baby and fed it to him with out him knowing i doubt that shit.....but still people do some crazy shit...

but your thing was why does the bible condone cannibalism....and it doesn't.....never did it say it was ok to eat people...and that king died for what he did anyways...and the people got food so they didn't have to be eating eachother...and like LF said it might have been a way to punish themselves i don't know the whole story of that group of people...

Where did "God" destroy the world that we still live in?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

and about what you said right there ^^^

you ever heard of 'The Flood', Noah's Ark.....he flooded the world killing all the people because they were so wicked except for Noah and his family and 2 of each animal....and they lived and were told to restart basically

*s.v. walks into the room, cracks open a luke-warm guiness and sits on the couch. he looks about and suddenly notices all the dismembered body parts and silverware piled around the room. s.v. calmly gets back up, wipes his fingerprints off of the fridge handle and door handle.......then quickly leaves the crimson covered hell-hole with his brew in tow.*


s.v. disgusted.........c.s.
