The plot was a guy trying out for many college sports to impress a girl, and failing miserably. When his girl is in trouble (kidnapped I think), he executes the same athletic moves perfectly to save her. I cannot find any reference to it anywhere.

Or is it just something you accept and don't think about?

Do they agree with the court's findings? I'm not referring to YECs or other fundamentalists.

That's the bottom line question from this article in Scientific American.

Is rational thought just a ruse by god to test your faith, or is there another, simpler explanation?

Or Yuna Kim skating with Monte Burns?

Or Kate Upton modeling with Marge Simpson?

Or Mark Twain writing a book with with Krusty the Clown?

I'm not talking about the truly uneducated adults. I'm talking about college educated adults who make it seem like they've never attended high school. Do you think they really do not understand this simple concept, or are they intentionally being dishonest?

"We are the Borg. Lower your shields. Your biological and technological distinctivness will be added to our own. Resistance if futile!"

Or is this just a hoax?

1. There are doubts about whether or not he had a father.

2. Many books and movies describe his life.

3. He gave his life to that others may live.

4. His life was prophesied long before his birth.

5. He thinks a lack of faith worthy of punishment.

6. He performs feats of supernatural power that no other can do.

7. He has very devout followers.

8. Disbelievers are harshly punished.

9. His mentor had every intention of sacrificing him for a greater cause.

10. There are 5 letters in his name.

11. He is sometimes, but not always referred to as Lord.

12. After death, he reappeared to people.

Golden Compass is one

I really need to counteract some doses of Catachism.

1. A ban on working on the sabbath

2. A requirement to sacrifice a calf by the river for an unsolved murder

3. A ban on women speaking in church

4. A ban on consuming lobster or shellfish

5. A ban on tattoos

6. A ban on removing facial hair

7. A ban on men without genitals in church

8. A ban on women wearing men's clothing

Or in the absence of any explicit revocation of this "guidance", how can we justify our ignoring it?

And, if we can justifiably throw these out, how do we know where to stop throwing things out?

(ie, if we throw out some things, why can't we throw out everything, and how exactly is that chosen?)

1. God's word is everlasting, eternal and unchanging. (Luke 21:33, James 1:17, and others)

2. Jesus backs up #1. (Matthew 5:18-19, Luke 16:17, and others)

3. The Bible explains how exactly to enslave people (Leviticus 25:44-46 , Exodus 21:2-6, and others)

4. Christians deny slavery is hasn't been elaborated on in their teachings, or that God's writings done apply to us today.

One of these four statements MUST be in error.

If so, either God was wrong, Jesus was wrong, the Bible was wrong, or Christians are wrong...

Which one is it?
