It's true. If people actually took the time to understand the Catholic Catechism then most Catholics wouldn't be idiots who contradict everything science says. The CCC doesn't contradict science at all. Even with the whole evolution vs creation thing, the CCC never says to believe that God literally created the world in a few days. It says that since the times were different and the Bible was written in a literary form which included symbolism, evolution is very much possible, and I for one whole-heartedly believe in evolution. Also, the CCC never contradicts the Big Bang Theory, another thing I believe in. People are just too stupid to actually think for themselves and go out and learn about their religion. They just listen to the sermons they hear at weekly mass, read the Bible without taking into consideration the symbolic meaning, and basing their whole lives off of that.

Either way christians are miserable little retards.

Excuse me? Miserable retards? I happen to be a rather educated individual who not only understand science, but completely believes it and has plans to devote my life to it. Although I am a Christian, I can reason and think and believe not in what I am told, but in what I can conclude and decide for myself. I am a Christian by choice, not because I was told to be, not because it is the religion of my father or my father's father, but because it is my religion, the religion I see and can feel in my heart. I believe in evolution and the Big Bang, yet I'm a Christian. I am a Christian who believes that science happened because that's what God intended. If one understands the basic beliefs of Christianity, he or she can, in fact, believe in it without being a "miserable retard."

This actually helped me. I mean, I completely, through and through believe in science. In my own opinion, it's a bit hard for me to believe that there is a godly being in the sky. My brain believes in and follows science. But that doesn't mean to say that I am against religion or that I hate Christianity, because I don't. I am Episcapalian, but I havn't gone to sunday school or church in a long time. Honestly, I find the proven facts of science to be more believeable than most religious things. So, like Miki, I believe in evolution and the Big Bang, etc. Lately I have began to think of the things said in the Bible differently. For example, I was watching a show on the Science Channel the other day. It was pretty much trying to find scientific proof that perhaps the events in the Bible are metaphorical, such as Noah parting the ocean to make a safe passage way for the Egyptian slaves/ peasents that he took with him. That show had opened up a new way of thinking for me. Although I am leaning more towards the scientific point of view, I can see how the religios things that we are taught can very well tie in with science, so this photo has helped me.
This might be off topic, but based on what I have just said, what religion do you think I would be? Because I have no idea. Episcapalian? Athiest? I don't know. Any ideas? -
Well, it was Moses who led the Israelites to safety by parting the Red Sea. They were being kept as slaves in Egypt at the time. It was Noah who built the ark and gathered two of every animal in it while it rained for forty days and night, causing the world to flood. How much of this can be taken literally and symbolically, I don't know, but I tend to believe that there is some truth to it and it got twisted over time much like the Ancient Greek and Roman myths were. Close, though. They both deal with water so a lot of people mix them up.
Atheism is not a religion. It is, instead, the absence of religion.
You sound more like an agnostic. You believe in science and can see where religion might play a part, but you're not completely sure about whether there is a deity or greater being up there or not, at least, that's what I've gathered about you.
Hope this helped!!!!! -

Thank you!
I am in one grade level above science. (Which is rare in grade). The more I understand science, the more it proves that my religion is correct. -
*in my grade

Yep, I meant to say Moses. See, I don't know much in this area.
Thanks Miki, that did help me. I think that's what I might consider myself; Agnostic. -
You're welcome!
