There is no doubt in my mind that there is not one true Christian on the planet, and I can prove it. There are several signs of a true believer that are very plain in the Bible. Unlike many of the passages of the Bible, these particular verses are very plain and nearly impossible to misinterpret or take out of context. Let's consider these statements supposedly written by the Apostle John, otherwise known as the disciple whom Jesus loved, as he quoted his master and his God: 1) John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 2) John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 3) John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

What about the bit from the question-and-answer section when that idiot from Liberty University started talking about the 3,000-year-old dinosaur bones?

Or maybe they actually believe that Noah (who is supposed to have lived a lot longer than 3,000 years ago) took dinosaurs on the ark as well.
'Room for a few more, Noah?'
There's always room for a bit more bullshit, that's for sure.
I've since come to see it is part of the human condition; so called "unbelievers" are every bit as engaged in demeaning conversation.
Also, Richard Dawkins is profound, and eloquent. However, in attempting to prove his points, he does the same as the religious persons he speaks against: he picks and chooses those passages (especially in narrative passages like the OT) which support his hypothesis and then supports them with the interpretations that fit his point.
We all like being right, no matter what the cost. Richard Dawkins is no different.

Good conversations about being human. However, if you disagree with Dawkins, you won't be threatened with everlasting torment. And religion is an emotional topic. You can't really discuss it without raising someone's blood pressure.
