Right… most of figures in the Bible are real people… I just don’t believe everything detailed in the Bible is true, word for word.

Roc,

I suppose that if your an atheist than i could understand you thinking that God is a lie, but read a textbook; Jesus is a real historically documented figure. just saying.

honestly and sincerely, Kelsie

Living in a predominately Christian society, i’ve learned NOT to display adverse opinions. I had a bumper sticker “Militant Agnostic: I dont know and you don’t either.” Not only was the sticker constantly torn at and disfigured, but there were key marks around the sticker as well. Yay for Christians, eh? I’m tempted to get the T-rex eating the jesus fish, but my wife is concerned that this will only invite more vandalism from the christian populace….

Roc, that was a little offensive to some people. (not me)

people have a right to their beleif.

And that goes the same way with the darwin fish. I beleive in evilution, the adaptation of species and organisms over time to fit their ecosystem. And I find it sad that we are slowly going back to the middle ages where a christian can walk outside wearing crosses and rosaries, but a jew or pagan can’t display their symbol without being ridiculed.

Also fun to note is that most christians today don’t even know what the fish actually stands for. no Jesus was not a fisherman. back a long while, christianity was a “radical” cult group and if you were to make a line in fornt of a person, and if that person made the same line (resulting in a fish shape) they knew it was safe to talk.

Jesus/God is the greatest lie ever told. He is among the most recent of the Solar Messiahs and was completely fabricated. Glad I am not wasting my time going to Church and reading scripture on someone who never existed. He is as fake as Santa Claus. “Oooops!” Did I just let some big cat out of the bag there too? I hope I didn’t upset too many people on the Santa issue too now. “Boo Hoo!”

What I find sad is the fact that Christians are more comfortable expressing thier veiws than most athiests. That’s sad. I see it as strength of conviction. I don’t believe and I am more than willing to let anyone know why. Go Darwin fish, rather Go Evolve fish (like that one, it has a tool.)

I saw a funny version of the fish in a gift store in Nevada City Northern CA. It was the usual Fish with”n chips” inside. I would have bought it except that I am surrounded by fundamentallist nut jobs here that are likely to vandalize my car. Before I moved here I thought California was an enlightened place but it’s worse here than Utah.

Dan, if I may respond, I must say that in my case, I don’t take the bible literally–I take it as fiction. However, when Christians take the bible literally, and approach me with that viewpoint, I respond in kind. If a Christian claims, for example, that genesis is LITERAL HISTORY, then I will point out what I see as aspects of the story that, when taken literally, don’t make much sense.

If someone tells me that the bible is just a collection of stories written years ago, some of it wonderful, some of it not, and we should learn from the parts that speak of peace and love–fine. I won’t argue with that, but that, that viewpoint isn’t trying to get creationism taught in science class.

Atheists and fundamentalists do have one thing in common — they both take the Bible literally — doesn’t leave much room for thought…or theology…or grace…or the author’s intentions. It’s one extreme or the other. Often, they’re both way to judgmental and unselfish love never is. As far as Darwin goes, I think he was brilliant. If anyone needed an explanation of Original Sin, evolution through “survival of the fittest” certainly does it for me. If that’s the background from which ______ calls us, well then — WoW! I like just the plain fish. I like the Greek word for fish – Ichthus (ΙΧΘΥΣ) – and I like the reason why __________ chose it and why they had to use it.
Pace e bene,
Dan
