		<description>Let&#039;s go ahead and break this down: 1) We were created...Scientific and Religious fact.  We have free will...Scientific and Religious fact.  --- The only way anything can be worshiped is through Free Will choice and all negative human interaction (i.e. murder, theft, etc...) is a result of free will choice of one human over another.  
So, we have a Creator and a Choice.  Choose wisely!  Or just turn on the XBox and play Modern Warfare II till the thought goes away (it works, I&#039;ve done it)...</description>

		<description>I think that Christians tend to be so vocal and dogmatic about their faith because that&#039;s the way they were brought up. It doesn&#039;t NEED to be that way, and in point of fact the same can be said of Islam.

I am, for the record, a nondenominational Christian. I try to live my life by the following philosophy: Treat others as you would have them treat you.

I also firmly believe that evolution is not only possible, but has been happening since the first bacterium appeared some 3 1/2 billion years ago.

Christians, I feel, could be a LOT happier if they noted one simple truth: God didn&#039;t write the Bible; humans did. The same dumb, panicky, dangerous animals (to steal a quote from &quot;Men In Black&quot;) which effed up God&#039;s creation so badly that He damn near destroyed the whole thing.</description>

		<description>Maybe we should have a contest.  Is God real?  Let&#039;s all pray a prayer and see what happens?  If God is real, I don&#039;t think  Christians need to defend him.  He is omnipotent enough to do that himself.  If by some crazy querk, He actually exists then that means we aren&#039;t the centre of our universe, and there may be a life form cleverer than us...which would mean maybe we would have to have faith rather than insist that we have to &#039;understand&#039; everything before we could possibly believe....?  Life is complicated and things happen we don&#039;t understand, whether we believe in God or not.</description>

		<description>Sigh, the old science verses religion debate.  Can&#039;t people accept the pact that they&#039;re compatible?  (Yes, I know some of you can, in fact, I&#039;d go so far as say that most people can, it&#039;s just those who can&#039;t are the loudest.</description>
