Neanderthal sex boosted immunity in modern humans

But... I thought the Christian God created humans thousands of years after the Neanderthals... are you saying that Neanderthals time traveled into the future to steal our womenfolk?

Sounds like the only reasonable explanation.

Amazing how everything has to be turned into an attack on Christianity....

More like an attack on ignorance, which is really what creationism is.

This would explain Carrot Top.

Yeah. If you really don't believe in God why hate the idea so much. So many of these people are anti-religion and anti God instead simply not believing in the concept of God. In plain words: They hate the very idea and notion of God and they lash it out on the believers. That too me is another form of radicalism, no better than Islamic fundamentalist.

This is too. The word most atheists don't understand is tolerance. I tolerate atheist beliefs. I expect the same from them.

However, the reason religion gets bashed is because of its over-extending of its boundaries. lotta people saying they want a bigger role of religion in politics, and creationism taught in schools, and religion's involvement in yet another form of discrimination, the hating of gays, and the attack on atheism.

Spare me your "but IM the victim" nonsense.

Even with that big Mongo!

From where I am sitting, it looks a lot more like trolling, which is something different indeed.

Is it though?
If someone writes in a topic complaining that people are attacking Christianity then that becomes a topic for debate.
Since the best way to debate is to get to the core of the issues, which in regards to Christianity must have scripture and theology very high on the list.
If it is easily demonstrated that a complaint about Christianity is from someone whose knowledge is so bad on the subject that it is frequently directly contradictory to it its cores then it does establish a lack of validity in that persons position.
Once that is established then nearly every topic where that person brings up Christianity can be handled in the same way.
It could even be said that Haplo with his "christianity" is repeatedly trolling Christians.

Well one thing about Subsim that always made it feel like home was that members could discuss things reasonably. Instead its just "attack" what you don't like - discussion be naught needed. "Attack" just because you can, even if your flaming of whatevr you don't like has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Never waste an opportunity to slam others who don't agree with your views, eh?

Didn't used to be like that, and its kinda sad it has gotten that way now.

It's rather hard to have a reasonable discussion on any science with a cretinist and it is equally hard to discuss the tenets of faith with a "christian" who doesn't know his own religion.

I haven't seen any discussion regarding Christianity in this thread. What I is do see a few people trying to score some cheap points at the expense of some others' core beliefs, and one other person continuing to troll someone he doesn't get along with. Thankfully, most of the members of this forum are above this sort of behavior.

You have a selective memory. It has indeed always been like that. Perhaps you have forgotten Subman1 and Frame57, who took every opportunity to ridicule anything that wasn't Christian or Conservative, which was of course hardly a Christian attitude. This week there are more atheists than believers, and next year the pendulum might swing the other way. Or not.

I thought Platapus's post was extremely witty. Rilder's I thought was a little too harsh. On the other hand should people not say what they think? At what point does a joke become an attack?

My biggest problem with General Topics these days is the number of people who post here but seemingly no longer post anywhere else. GT is for all things not concerning subsims, but it is still part of Subsim.com. If GT was closed down tomorrow what would most of you do?

unfortunately the atmosphere in subsim has gotten to the point where nearly any comment related to Xtianity is met with ridicule.

Comments related to Christianity are met as comments about Christianity.
Comments about Islam are met as comments about Islam.
Comments by "christians" on Christianity are met in the same way as a "druid" would be met if he was talking about the faerie folk living in that ancient whitethorn over there while he was pointing at a sycamore tree.

I thought Platapus's post was extremely witty.

On so many levels too.

Post in GT in another forum

Honestly submarine simulation is now a dying genre.
