I ...Hey thanks for you comment and some link love. I really appreciated the information on Iran; it's refreshing to hear another perspective. I had read accounts(will have to find them) from some Iranian Christians who experienced prejudice in regards to the employment and some intimidation by local police all because of their proclaimed religious beliefs. Could have been related to where these particular people were living, as well. It's good to hear that it is not the case across the country.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your comment. It never ceases to fascinate me how much I learn from people I've never met.<BR/><BR/>Oh and I promise I'll never preach to you over pizza.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153424053459156211.post-40180693683806050272007-11-14T22:41:00.000-08:002007-11-14T22:41:00.000-08:00No, I haven't. Not even after a Christian lady sa...No, I haven't. Not even after a Christian lady sat on the floor of my dorm room, eating <I>my</I>pizza and stating that although Jesus loved me, I would go to hell if I didn't accept him as my Lord and Savior. "It is sad, but you must accept him to save yourself." It is the only time I have ever wanted to take my food away from someone I was feeding.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with you about the slipperier slope. I remember someone telling me that evolution cannot be true because it denies Original Sin, which in turn means that Jesus didn't die for our sins--which is the basis of Christian beliefs. When he put it that way, I could see why they would be so anti-evolution. On the other hand, Muslims are generally anti-evolution as well, despite the fact that we don't believe in Jesus' crusifiction.<BR/><BR/>As you see, I love long winded comments.Girl With Curious Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572130487626244910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153424053459156211.post-58583749010753005992007-11-14T10:18:00.000-08:002007-11-14T10:18:00.000-08:00So...HAVE you given yourself over the Jesus yet? I...So...<BR/><BR/>HAVE you given yourself over the Jesus yet? I mean... you have, right?<BR/><BR/>Seriously, the thing is, of course your arguments make perfect sense. The catch is this - sometimes the reason the more hardcore religious types don't believe in evolution isn't a question of faith as much as it is a question of doctrine. Many people take issue with the "divine watchmaker" theory, because to accept that God created the evolutionary process is to accept that, in effect, the Bible is wrong.<BR/><BR/>And I think that's the disconnect, because once you start to believe in mistakes in what is essentially the fundamental root of your belief, well... the slope gets slipperier. So it's an all or nothing proposition. <BR/><BR/>Huh. "Slipperier" is actually a word. <BR/><BR/>OK. No more long-winded comments. Sorry.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495736427508294951noreply@blogger.com
