This flag is pretty badarse I reckon.
I am ConCass, and I do love disproving conspiracy nutcases. I also hate fundies, because they make the rest of us look like evolution-denying idiots.

[edit] My opinion on fings

[edit] Christianity

I am a protestant, but I've worked out my beliefs for myself so that they are at least logical in some form (although to atheists, religion is illogical somehow anyway). I am a Protestant because I do not believe in the bizarre teachings of the Catholic Church and would rather make my own mind up about religion. It's also quite difficult to have a personal relationship with God when there's a hundred-man hierarchy in between.

[edit] The Old Testament

This is a book of ancient Hebrew myths that talk about a different God to most Christians, and how fundies can't see this is beyond my understanding. Clearly, it features a malevolent God who mercilessly kills many people, and a bunch of characters with Middle Eastern names all roaming the desert, so how mediæval painters managed to read names like Shammua, Zaccur, Hori and Ephraim and think "these were white guys" is beyond my belief (Jesus was also brown). Before I drift off subject, I'll say that the OT does not apply to modern Christianity and Yahweh is not a Christian God (he's close, and it is possible to not realise the difference until you count the numbers side by side).

[edit] The Trinity

It's bollocks. If the trinity is correct, the flesh-and-blood Jesus son of Mary would be God in a human body. Except Jesus is not God incarnate, because I severely doubt that an omnipotent, immortal God was executed by some Italians under the popular request of Middle Easterners. I do believe Jesus was the Son of God, but was a fully human being, because anything else would violate the whole concept that Jesus had human feelings and temptations.

[edit] Virgin birth

In Greek, which the NT was originally written in, and in those days in general, the word "virgin" meant both a woman who's never had sex, and a woman who's not married. The "virgin birth" could refer to a woman who wasn't married, although that would destroy the immaculate conception idea (being a Protestant, that doesn't affect my beliefs like Jesus not being Messiah doesn't affect Jews).

[edit] Jesus' miracles

Saying that turning water into wine "isn't scientifically possible" won't change my mind, since if it were scientifically possible it wouldn't be much of a fucking miracle now, would it? "I'm the Son of God, and to prove it, I'll light a match".

[edit] Jesus' dancing skills

Matthew 20:28: "the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve".

[edit] Evolution

It's a fact. Just because we're not the inbred offspring of two naked Iranians who ate from a tree 6000 years ago does not disprove that a God existed. Also, we're not descended from apes - we are an ape.

[edit] Hell

I believe in Hell, but don't believe that an all-forgiving God would cast anyone into Hell for eternity with no possible release ever. I firmly believe God would not grant a sadistic serial killer forgiveness, but to paraphrase this Wiki's article on Hell, even a serial killer only caused a finite number of deaths. I also believe Hell is reserved for those like murderers, rapists and thieves - an all-forgiving God would not cast people of other (or no) religions into Hell if those people were good, and Jack Chick is a fucking imbecile for seriously believing that good charitable Christians can go to Hell for not converting other people.

[edit] Homosexuality

If Jesus died on the cross "for our sins", and if homosexuality was a sin under a Jewish God, surely that should render homosexuals as unsinful now. If there is no God, then homosexuals should have no reason at all to hide their ways. Basically, a homosexual shouldn't hide their sexuality because the Bible says so and said homosexual doesn't believe in the Bible. On that note, God Hates Shrimp.
