[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]Tolerance for differing lifeforms is more ethically advanced than intolerance[/i] But I'm not advocating intolerance. If someone said all gays should be killed, I'd be the first to tell 'em they're wrong. You're confusing intolerance with disapproval. Why does everyone do that? [i]Is this belief that homosexuality is bad a personal belief, or did you acquire it from your clergy?[/i] Church of Christ denomination (much as we might like to deny that we're a denomination) has no clergy. [i]I put it to you that is should be just as hard for an intellectually-honest Christian person to enjoy Star Trek.[/i] No more so than for an intellectually honest scientist to enjoy Star Trek, in all its scientific inconsistancy. Just because I disagree with pieces of it on occasion, I don't have to throw out the whole thing. I enjoy Monty Python, even though it's borderline blasphemous on occasion. It's funny. [i]a true Christian believes that Dinosaurs never existed, that the fossils were created 'as is'. [/i] Some do, some believe other things, some believe in evolution. [i]And I put it to you that an Eternal God, an Afterlife, and Creation are the least likely of all Biblical 'facts'.[/i] Ah, but you can't compute their likelyhood, can you? They're not anything that can be handled by statistics. Besides, woudln't the presence of an omnipotent being that spoke things into existence be simpler than an unending chain of unlikely coincidences of carbon chemistry? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, here. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
