So one of my fairly good friends is a devout Catholic. I told her I was atheist this past summer. I didn't bring up the subject; she did. Ever since then she's been bringing up religion a lot when we talk. I told her I don't believe in that stuff, but she just keeps brining it up and tells me...
I'm currently working towards a BS in General Biology, a BA in Chemistry, and minoring in Anthropology. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but after listening to a few Chemistry seminars, I've decided Chemistry is definitely not where I want to end up. I think I want to be a Biological...
This has been posted by several of my friends on facebook over the last year or so. I have to laugh a little each time though. Can't believe how easily convinced some people are.
"The idea of witchcraft is hardly new, but it has taken on new life recently partly because of a rapid growth in evangelical Christianity."

I'm a decent looking guy, not hollywood model material but probably 7-8/10. I run a LOT and eat well. I'm in very good physical shape. I'm laid back and easy going. I love to make people laugh and seem to be relatively good at it. I work for my money and am dedicated to my studies. I'm friendly...
I shouldn't really care, but I live in a conservative area of the States and almost everyone I know is a bible beating Republican. The few atheists I do know aren't really the type of the people I care to hang out with (they're nice people and all, and I'm friends with them, but they're not...

This may be the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of.
So I was talking with my friend who runs for his college and he told me their best female runner who made NCAA D1 nationals last year quit the team because she didn't have enough time for God. According to him, she lives above a church and goes down and prays (apparently for an extended period...
I don't understand this, especially with homosexuals. How the hell can you worship a god who says you're an abomination and should be killed so you can rot in hell? As for women, it's pretty clear they are nothing but property of men in the bible. Even in the New Testament it says women should...
Here's one of his videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wT7zM8XgXQ
He seems to have a pretty good understanding of physics, but he's certain aliens are here and the government is hiding them from us. I have my own opinions but would like to hear others' before I taint the pool.
I haven't been here long, and I haven't been a frequent visitor until even more recently, so I don't know if this has been posted before, but I found it to be a great debate. You can scroll down and skip the intro...
I'm taking Intro to Biological Anthropology this semester at my university, and our first assignment is a response paper to the Creationism/Evolution debate after reading a chapter of the book and watching a NOVA documentary. I'm thinking about emailing my classmates a link to AronRa's...

Obviously this board isn't a very good sample population for this question, but does anyone think this guy has a point, or is he missing the boat?
My mother is a devout mormon, my dad is a pretty heavy believer, and my sister is as well. My sister is the only one with a college education (healthcare management), but all three believe in the literal word of the Bible, including the creation story. Everything my parents know about the world...
