I've become very accustomed to Facebook.  In fact, it was Facebook that was the sole reason I hooked up with 8 of my old high school buddies for a party about one month ago.  It was an awesome party, and we all just shook our heads at the awesomeness of Facebook bringing old ties back to life.  It's a party which will grow and become annual.

 

But there's a downside.  I have to keep my mouth shut sometimes, and anyone here that knows me KNOWS that I refuse to keep my mouth shut unless it will hurt someone else.

 

In this case, it probably would, so I kept my mouth shut.

 

A girl that works where I work is pregnant.  She's pretty far along, and something started going not according to plan.  She posted about it, and out of the woodwork came crawling the Christians.  They're all praying for her.  Like that's going to help.

 

Now let me ask you this.  Given this problem, is she going to a priest to solve it or a scientist?  Are the methods used to rectify her situation those born of faith or those born of knowledge?

 

I hear idiot Christians spouting faith non stop all the time, yet when they become sick, do they go to their church?  Or do they go to a doctor?  Does the doctor prescribe a heavy dose of prayer?  Or does he prescribe chemicals that are scientifically proven to fix the problem?

 

Hey KFC...if you ever read this - if your "scientific" son were in a tragic accident and you were on the scene, would you haul his body to a church, or would you haul him to a doctor.  Why wouldn't you just go "Yay!  My son gets to go to heaven right away!!!"

 

Busted...hypocrite.

You failed your own test. I don't need to have a higher IQ than you to have intelligence, and the 'logic' that someone who has say an IQ of 146 can't contribute anything to the topic and should shutup is absurd. Meanwhile your entire premise seems built on the assumption that IQ tests are an accurate gauge of intelligence - in various statistical studies I have seen looking at students performance in exams, for example, IQ scores actually have a fairly low affect on the result with numerous other variables having more of an impact.

 

And another moron falls in the trap.  Point made.

Yes, insults make for a very convincing argument...

A rock is strong, dependable, always there, etc. Perhaps the rock did was a metaphor for faith, not a church.

pretty good Lucas.  The rock is Christ, not Peter.  Christ was saying the church would be built on him.....not Peter.  This is the RC favorite verse because they use this scripture to build their whole dynasty.  Christ is the rock, Peter is just a pebble (or as he even puts it later- lively stones)  that makes up the foundation of the church like the rest of us.
