OLAADEGBU:How can a man have a relationship with another man-- and a dead man for that matter? I don't think Fulaman is into necrophilia. |

Apatheist: Let me educate you a bit on relationships. We have family relationships, working relationships, erotic relationships which are all different from the agape relationship with your Maker. You will need to get an afterlife to understand this. |

macof: You are not right. Go and read it again. When something means little, or nothing to God, a true xtian gives it little or none of his time. |

Fulaman198: What God needs from us is to learn about Him, and do His will. Divine Education is what matters to God nd application. With that as a xtians PRIMARY pursuit, all other things are secondary. Just like servants of God in the past who had secular education, but refused to allow it guide their lives, so should a xtian be. Any concocted lies raised up against God's word is satanic. One may get the knowledge for some reasons, but never allow it to affect his worship of God just like God's servants of old. Evolution is one big lie. That "doctrine" is a decoy. You dont disprove the bible with a lie. What a true christian needs basically is to know how to read, speak, and write. This is the basic knowledge he needs to continue to do much more in his primary purpose on earth, learning about God and doing His will. |

JMAN05: Here is my problem with people who are overly religious, I don't think they reason properly. Sometimes they think that God will perform a miracle out of the sky, but that's not how life works. God wants to see you move so that you can move with God. You take 1 grand step, and God will back you up. There are people out there who don't take their children to hospitals when they fall sick because they believe that 'God will help them.' There is a reason why hospitals exist in the first place. God placed people on this earth to be innovative and creative and not to depend on God for everything. The Almighty created humans to be self-sufficient and to be adaptable to their surroundings. 4 Likes 1 Share |

JMAN05: Christianity encourages Divine Education. Even if you want to keep studying till you die, thats very fine. If the issue is about secular education that has no bearing on the scriptures, it means little to God. Granted, When secular education is meant to teach you how to read, write and speak. That's fine. But there should be moderation.i laugh at the lack of depth and thought needed to make such a reply. Are you trolling? 2 Likes |
Re: Does Religion Hold People Back From Becoming Very Educated by 1ord: 3:38am On Aug 19, 2014 |
JMAN05:So you reject knowledge based on basis of a 2000 year old book based on a 2000 year old God that chooses the Israelite as his people and as Jesus the Savior of the ""Isrealites"" whilst your a western ex colonal mammal that was subjugated to accept a faith at the barrel of a gun. Pls dont reproduce.So you base your opinion on what is truthful on what some 2000 year old story a cave man cooked up on meth .This is the first time some ones stupidity is so potent that it makes me feel stupid |

EnlightenedSoul: Who said that you're anti-religion? Erm...could you define "anti-religion", please? |
Re: Does Religion Hold People Back From Becoming Very Educated by Nobody: 8:18pm On Aug 19, 2014 |
TheBigUrban2: The person I was conversing with. To be anti-religion is to be opposed to religion, or religious belief. There's also the term "anti-theist" which describes someone who's actively opposed to the belief in God(s). I’m not opposed to religion. But I am opposed to religion or Christianity/Islam/co. being the impetus for policy and legislation, especially in a multi-faith society. Politicized religion = Massive FAIL. My opinion. 1 Like |

1ord: You are confusing yourself. We don't call the universe God but the handiwork of God. You need to understand that Observational science is different from origin science. The theory of evolution cannot account for the origin of the universe. |
