1-a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.

2-an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers

3-the object of such devotion.

4-a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.



By that standard then, Darwinism should be labelled a cult (a tax-funded one) as well since strong believers in evolutionism venerate little Chucky Darwin; and their strong adherence to the belief that life somehow "naturally" and randomly started from non-living matter and that apes somehow became humans is based entirely on faith (and hence is a religion, as well) since their is literally ZERO actual evidence to back any of it up.

Dig your head out of the sand and honestly research the evidence. And i don't mean read a bunch of Christian apologists who claim to know. I mean like actual biologists.

Here you go, Ethneo. Hear it from your fellow Christians. BioLogos is a Christian organization who (in their own words) "affirm evolutionary creation, recognizing God as Creator of all life over billions of years..."

BioLogos - What does the fossil record show?

I honestly don't want to humiliate and mock you. It would show tremendous courage and growth if you learned more about it and evolved your understanding of reality.

Not really. Societies and majorities determine policy and in some cases lawmaking. Why you want to conflate that with truth, I'm not sure. Scientific exploration is the more reliable method for finding truths about reality because it dials down the biases that humans are so susceptible to, which is why scientific understanding and research should largely influence policy and lawmaking.

Take people who believe in creationism, for example. I think the percent has dropped significantly here in the US recently, but at one point I'm sure it was a majority. That didn't make it true. It was always wrong. Science discovered it to be wrong.

So no, majority opinion doesn't necessarily have jack-shit to do with what's true. End of story.



If what you are suggesting is a direct link between belief and majority the you won't find any. That doesn't mean majorities don't dictate how we search for truth and how we deal with the information we have.

Point of view shifts, majorities change and this works for religion too.

Which is really my point. Religion only forces view on thing that are subsidiary to physical reality, so there is no attack in what you are calling truth.

The capacity for religion to take a step back is proportional to the number of adepts and their unrest. That was my point. The size of a cult is very relevant for dealing with how society trasforms

I have nothing but respect for researchers.


But to claim policy that stems from scientific research has little political bias is just false, because of the selection process. Researchers are simply the work horses, and have little to no say in who takes their work, or whether or not their work is distorted to suit an agenda.



It's like the way "shareholder value" began from a book. Except the author of said book claimed he NEVER meant to say shareholder value is the ONLY duty of a corporation.


This is something certain interested parties wanted, and they used his work to push their agenda. And it worked.


The author had ZERO power to control the narrative stemming from his own work.



It's the same for researchers. Their do the research in good faith, but it's out of their hands once "spin doctors" get ahold of it.

Nah, DDM had nothing to do with this.

I have had an extremely negative view of Mormonism long before I knew about DDM being a Mormon.

And DDM has never owned me, ever, nor has anyone else on this shitty forum... ever. I am supreme. ALWAYS.

He often owned you, Pooty, Bashy, and other crazy leftists on the forum though. It has always been entertaining watching the left-leaning DDM destroy all you other lefties an almost daily basis.

And before you whine about me bumping an old thread, let me remind you that you never b*tch when pooty/whirly does it.

Mormonism denies the doctrines that make Christianity what it is and instead replaces it with their own f***ed up beliefs that are found literally nowhere in the Bible.




Just a few of the many screwed-up things mentioned in the article that supposedly "highly-educated" (lol) people of mormonism believe:

1) God used to be a man on another planet (Mormon doctrine p.321)


2) God resides near a star called "Kolob" lol (Mormon Doctrine p.428)


3) According to "The teachings of prophet Joseph Smith", after you become a good little cultist mormon, you have the potential to become a god lmao (sounds very similar to what darwinian evolution teaches about man eventually "evolving" to god status, eh?).


4) God is married to a spirit wife and has spirit babies (Mormon doctrine p. 516).


5) There is a mother goddess. (this is very similar to the roman catholics practically deifying Jesus's mother, Mary, who in actuality was not divine herself in any way, only Jesus was).


6) That the Holy trinity is actually three seperate gods instead of being One God as the real Bible (the King James) clearly teaches.


Probaly most importantly, they teach a works based salvation and strict adherence to God's law as the roman catholics do instead of putting their complete faith in what Jesus did on the cross. In short, they are about as "Christian" as roman catholics are. In their book "Doctrines of Salvation" it says their is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith (the founder of Mormonism) as a prophet of God. They teach a false gospel just as roman catholics do. wink


*Catholics
*seperate
*Trinity
*Probbably
*there

Getting that out of the way, does the bible say anything about how its a sin to be into transexuals? I assume that would be wrong considering fornication is wrong as is bestial as well. Based on your previous posting and others, you watch porn and ts porn right?

What does the bible say about that?

Your posts themselves are trolling, why should anyone respond to a troll such as yourself, my fragile child.

Yes, that is what idiotic evolutionists like yourself do. Bury your head in the sand and continue to ignore all the overwhelming evidence that debunks your retarded evolutionism religion.
