What's my point? My point is that despite believing everything stated above I still do not have the gaul to make insulting remarks like "I think that Christianity is the most ridiculous thing anyone could believe". This has been said of evoution here: interestingly enough, by the same posters who ignorantly refer to evolution as a religion! -- thus proving that they have no respect for other religions in the first place. I am not targeting you, Bex, nor am I targeting Christianity.

I see what you're saying. My only thought here was that if I'm not mistaken, there have been insults on both sides towards either creationism or evolution.......which is the subject of this forum (I'd need to seek out the posts to get the quotes). The thing is, evolution, unlike Christianity does not believe in a "personal God".

That's what I'm getting at. E.g. if you guys had a personal God/s that you believed in, I "might" state I disagree or point out why (as you have done), but there is no way I would insult that. Evolution is not a religion in the sense of a personal God. The only reason it's referred to as a religion I guess is because we believe it is a *system of belief*, in fact for us, I believe personally, that for evolution to be true, it would still require the supernatural (that's my belief). But obvously a "personal God" is definitely not part "evolution science".

Yeah that is true. I remember hearing someone say "I don't mind Christ, it's His fan club I have a problem with". But let us not forget the many around the world doing much for their fellow man, putting Christ's words into action (and there are many). People too quickly forget this and focus on the worst, when in my experience I've actually been around many wonderful Christian people. Perhaps that's what also drew me to Christ? Seeing Him through them. I've been around some pretty rotten ones too. Christ even said that "Not all who cry Lord, Lord and would enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but those that do the will of my Father". We'll be judged also on how we treated our fellow man, especially the least of them. (well in the world's eyes, they might be least).
