No, you shouldn't.Dazza5897922 said:By this logic, if I supported the nazi party I should not get suspended for wearing the arm thing with the symbol to school.
Except that there is actual evidence of abiogenesis and nothing to support your fairytails about magic men in the sky.popdafoo said:...it makes about as much sense as an explosion creating all life as we know it.
Is that a jab at the Big Bang Theory? because there's proof for the Big Bang Theorypopdafoo said:I have no place arguing with you people. If you think intelligent design is a bunch of bull, it makes about as much sense as an explosion creating all life as we know it.
Don't you have to die to be a martyr? By definition. And sorry but that's not prosecution, it's common sense. Secularism is really the best way here.Logic 0 said:he's a marter for his belives, Because people have always been procuted for there religon.

It wasn't made as a joke. It was made as a hyperbole. It was made to expose the ridiculousness of Intelligent Design being taught as scientific fact in schools, not to mock the entirety of religion. Get your facts straight first, then you can make your argument. What makes your religion "right?"

Proof? Like... someone being there to witness it? Call me a hypocrite, but I won't accept any less evidence.Eoin Livingston said:Is that a jab at the Big Bang Theory? because there's proof for the Big Bang Theory
First of all we don't need eye witnesses and second where's your's?popdafoo said:Proof? Like... someone being there to witness it? Call me a hypocrite, but I won't accept any less evidence.Eoin Livingston said:Is that a jab at the Big Bang Theory? because there's proof for the Big Bang Theory
He can believe it but I doubt he does. That's all I'm saying!WhiteTiger225 said:And why can't he believe it? It's okay for someone to wear a cross that represents a invisible bearded man who lives in a cloud, punishes those who go against his orders that he had a man write down for him and so forth? Same concept goes to muslim religion. They should be suspended for wearing headwear during class.
But thing is... Many things that we know today started off with roots buried in fiction (Robots, Micro computers, flying cars, space travel, DNA resequencing, etc) so why can't someone come to believe a faith that started as a mockery of other religions? Maybe he realized that this religion was actually right?Riding on Thermals said:Now now, I obviously understand that this kid in the article did it for the lulz.

By "proof" he means that we can recreate the Big Bang in small scale and observe predictable and repeatable behavior. I don't know which flavor religion you subscribe to, but you believe the "witness" given by those texts as interpreted by hundreds of translations over thousands of years as fact?popdafoo said:Proof?
