NEVER.

Just out of curiousity, which posts have you been reading? They obviously weren't mine. Have I
ONCE claimed to have the answer to
ANYTHING? You've just admitted your own ignorance by saying that if I proved something to you then you "might" believe me. Well...if I proved it conclusively how could you deny me? And, no, I haven't proved anything. I have (insert broken record here)
argued an alternative. Jesus tap dancing christ, how many times do I have to say that? Now, this is one paragraph out of a whole post and I'm sure you'll say I took it out of context, but I challenge you to put it IN context. As Sol has so eloquiently put it, once you bring faith into it this becomes an undebateable topic. Christians use that as a failsafe because you can't very well tell someone their opinion is wrong. If I told you that I have faith that the virgin Mary was a hermaphorodite and that's how she had Jesus without ever knowing the touch of a man you can't very well tell me I'm wrong. And hey...that's a much more plausible theory than immaculate conception. It's more likely she got knocked up by Joseph and didn't want to get stoned to death for engaging in premarital sex. As for the bible disproving science...man would I love to see just one instance of that occuring. Listen...I don't know how many times or ways I can say this. I honestly do respect your opinion so long as it's based upon an intelligent decision. Freedom of choice is the only true freedom anyone has. You can forget all of that shit about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (or if you're a John Locke fan, the pursuit of property). Freedom of chocie is the only thing that is truely yours. I haven't once told you "you're wrong" or said that I have the end all to be all answer because guess what...I DON'T. In the grand scheme of things humans know absolutely nothing. There isn't a single thing in your life that isn't 100% subjective to your own reality and nothing is absolutely true. You could say the sky is blue and I can say it's purple and neither one of us is right. All I'm asking you to do is to drop this (ironically) holyer than thou act and just accept the possibility that these things may have occured. I know christians (and most other religions for that matter) support themselves on the premise of being infalible. Well...I hate to be the one to tell ya...but NOTHING is truely infalible. Shit, for all you know god is the one waiting to shove red hot pokers up your ass and satan is the loving caring one. You won't know until you're dead so please don't claim to know now. And once you're dead what are you gonna do, come back and tell me I was wrong? Of course not...you'll be dead. See...that's how religion works. It never gets really good until you're dead and you can't prove or disprove anything. It's like a cheap carnival trick and you all are the carnies. So, for the sake of my sanity and the good of the human race, I'd appreciate it if you at the very least took that to heart.
Hey Sol...where the hell is Rolla, MO? If it's close to KC we should kick it sometime.
