Most fantasies are.

Yes. I find abiogenesis and macro-evolution to be quite delusional concepts.

Touche.

From your profile page. "If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six sharpening my axe. - Abraham Lincoln"

Its a good quote, I agree. Didnt know you guys read my profile.

Christianity has no similarities. You either accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God or you do not. If you do you go to heaven. If you do not you do not go to heaven. Pretty simple, really.

The Gods know I would loathe to have my religion thrown in with yours.

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. There is no compromise, God does not compromise His holiness.

Don't preach your crap to me, please.

Very well. Have a good day.

Were you home-schooled, by any chance?

But, those are not simple concepts, as evidenced by the hordes of creationists who don't understand anything about them.

Well, once you get them both nailed down so that you all agree on one of the vastly different theories, maybe we'll sit down and discuss it.

I don't bother engage in discussions with people on subjects they aren't interested in learning about.

I was trying to figure out your location so maybe I could recommend a Hindu temple.

There's a Hindu temple about an hour from me. The one I went to a year or so ago. There are quite a few in Northern Virginia.

How far are you from DC? (I'm getting deja-vu here.)

Haha. I'm about 45 by bus depending on traffic. Deja vu? Do tell.

there are many similarities among religions and denominations. people focus on the differences and start religious wars and terrorism and they shun the similarities. so I want to mention some similarities. christianity and islam both have fasting. catholics and orthodox venerate common saints. christianity and hinduism have a trinity concept. all religions as far as I know have a soul/spirit concept. and the list continues.

Not all with a soul spirit concept. ..;0)

There does seem to be an across the board theme among religions where a problem is identified for which needs "fixing".

Not to mention that Buddha and Jesus said many of the same things. Check out "Buddha and Jesus the Parallel sayings". Perhaps God has revealed Himself at different times to different cultures.

What about one who never heard of Jesus? Does God say "sucks to be you" and throw them into fire? I sincerely doubt that. The mercy of God must be greater than the limitations of man.

Not in mine.

Like I said, when you can present hard evidence that one of your theories is actual fact then we'll discuss it. I have no interest in guessing games. You're right about that.

Not sure what you are saying here. Whatever happens I am sure that the Most Holy Most High will make the wisest decision no matter how hard the case.
