You sound like a Christian, at least in one regard. You want to see that everyone is exposed to "The Truth."

The difference, truth for me changes based on evidence and perception/understanding of that evidence with changes in technology and ideas as we evolve and grow.

Does religion evolve?
 

How does religion survive in the face of such overwhelming evidence demonstrated by brilliant scientific minds using amazing technologies? Does religion evolve faster than humanity?

Best wishes on your quest, rkzenrage. Toy watches with great interest.

And they have tremendous overhead. Think Big Three.

First deny the evidence, then deny the importance of evidence.

Some do, no doubt. Most, however, don't even need to bother.

Religions constantly change (or, one might say, evolve) to better reflect the cultures they exist in. We can't see this kind of change because it is long-term. Inflexible religions that don't permit interpretation tend to die off.

One can only hope...though hearing a senator saying that Neptune was reclaiming New Orleans would have been sweet!

This video got pulled, but here is a description from another board.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here, rkz. I see (described) a shitty parent with poor communication skills and an immature child who thought it would be a good idea to videotape a provoked argument with his mother and put it on the internet. Who cares what they were arguing about?

A modest thought
 

It seems to me that if one were to tune through the radio stations in my area, to watch cable TV, or drive down the streets around here, they would find dozens if not hundreds of Christian broadcasts (ranging from the compassionate to the demanding and damning), and yard signs (containing the Ten Commandments or JESUS). We are inundated with Christain advertising everywhere. Look in your yellow pages and see how many companies advertise with the fish symbol to proclaim their belief (and solicite other Christians to patronize them). Why, in the face of this continual barage of Christian belief is anyone offended because a couple thousand non-believers want to proclaim what they believe on Youtube?

Non-theists are second class where I live, in fact, after reading the post about the President saying we were not good citizens or patriots I guess we are second class in America. Funny, I don't remember anyone saying I was not patriotic when I served in the Army during Viet Nam. Whoever posted that Atheists were arrogant because they proclaimed themselves (when major networks regularly feature thousands of Christains doing the same on Billy Graham telecasts) should be ashamed. And the "Challenge" is to individuals to step up for what THEY believe, not an "in your face" challenge to Christian believe.

In America all people should be treated equally, regardless of what they believe or do not believe about religion. I am an honest, tax paying, hard working guy who has raised bright, well educated children who are the same and I don't have to take a back seat to anyone because I do not believe as they do about unseen, unproven, and unbelievable ghosts. Yet, I stay in the closet because I would lose my job if the truth about me were known in the school district where I work. People around here equate good with Christian and they make no allowances for anything else.

I'm not sure I agree. I'm no scholar on it but I don't see much in the way of change in Islam in the last 2000 years.

It isn't 2000 years old yet.

Wow, at his age... she has issues.
