You have called Christians ignorant, yet you admit you are an Atheist. [/QUOTE]
Hi ekimklaw,
Ignorant may have been a bad choice of words from my part.
quote:
Have you tried to study the Bible? Probably not.
Well , I've been to a catholic school. I've had religion as a subject in school for 8 years in a row 3 hours a week. So I know a little about the bible. (don't ask me to quote verses please
)
I'll be the first one to admit that the people who wrote this book presented a revolutionary way of living and view on life. Jezus is to me a great person and philosopher. So unheard in his time were his ideas that people lifted him up to a demi-god.
Like Buddha, mohamed , etc. etc.
Ok now it's your turn, go to the library and start reading up on famous philosophers modern and ancient. And while you are there , lend a Desmond Morris book or any other evolutionist.

If you did, you would sense a supernatural quality to the book. But you've prejudged this world-changing and life altering book without investigation on your own.
I read plenty of books that changed my life and that totaly changed my view on the world.
Supernatural feelings about a book I still have to experience. But it sounds like a very subjective emotion you have experienced. Did you know that there's a part in your brain when stimulized with electrodes , induces religious visions and experiences? That part in your brain may be especially sensitive for you.
I 'm still searching for truth. Every new piece of evidence that may totally contradict what I feel I know , I will accept as an enrichment or even a replacement of my view of life. I don't see a creationist change his view. He's stuck in his dogmatic little prison.
quote:
You are as religious as I am, Max, you have faith in science. Nature is your god.
Well religious is not the word because that would mean that I would stick to any scientific theory nomatter what contradicting evidence may come up.
Let's say I'm as enthusiastic about science or Nature as you are about God.
Thx for replying Ekimklaw
