Nearly all Christians I know think the same as the Atheists when it comes to Creationism.

There is no use in challenging someone who believes in a god just because he does so. The religious people around here go to their church and pray to their god and let other religious or atheist persons in peace.
If someone is religious and finds peace in it, it's absolute fine with me - as long as he does not try to enforce his views on me or others.

If someone tries to convince children that dinosaurs and men coexisted or that homosexuals are "diseased" and have to be "cured" - his views will certainly be questioned.
Creationists in germany tried to get schools to "teach the controversy" but as this is regarded as utterly ridiculous, it will not happen. Not because of the Atheists, but because of so many Christians who are against it.

A local pastor once told me that it is a question of education if somebody is a christian or just a religious nutcase. "If he believes in God, then he's a christian. If he believes in God and that men and dinosaurs coexisted - nutcase."

I'll add that most atheists only have a problem with the Christians who try to turn the government into a theocracy, or treat them as lesser beings because they are not Christians. I have a problem with certain behaviors that are displayed by some, but one's beliefs are a personal matter, and no one's business but your own.

That's all most of us ask. You respect us, and live your life, we'll respect you, and live our lives.


I will say that there are some that do seem to have a problem with all theists, but they do not speak for me, just as Fred Phelps doesn't speak for all Christians. Base your decisions on the person and on their actions, not the beliefs. (But show up at my door early on a Saturday, and all bets are off. )

Thats the way I see it. But my lack of knowledge of the english language prevents me quite often from saying what I mean.

Yessy-yessy all that.

However, this thread is about eating dead cat and getting payed for it, so instead of a theologic debate let'S have some remarks on Schroedinger now. We're living in a box, a cardboard box, so can we be sure it is a dead cat we are eating? Obviously not when it is biting back, but beyond that obvious problem, I mean? Maybe it is us being dead while imagining to eat, and the cat escaped while Schroedinger was visiting the toil... i mean the men's room.
