God created man in his own image, but they are already extinct. :P

Raptor Jesus? That's not funny.

Why do people like to mess around with picture of Jesus? And what is this business about raptors? Some nonsense about lizard-people ... schizo-affective disorder, doctor.

Moronic nonsensical orthodoxy. I didnt expect the Spanish Inquisition.


No one does. But I have to agree with Slow Mutant on the 'stewardship' question. The story of Noah suggest that there is in fact a need for preservation of non-human species, even those not exploited commercially - it was two of each animal, but more of the useful species. A metaphor, to be sure, but one that may be based on a valid idea.

I don't know know many children that honor their parents by trashing the house they were left, yet para-Christian capitalists seem to think that is a good idea.

Yeah, they had a bunch of that crap on the meme thread and I responded in kind... bad choice on this forum...


As for whether we should take care of the Earth which God has loaned us... Yes.

Hey, twoshots mentioned raptors, I merely suggested a reasoning for his mentioning of raptors.

I suppose there should be more phonetically special terms so that people don't associate things?

It's not as though there are any legitimate pictures of Jesus. I mean, I've seen pictures of a blue-eyed blonde Jesus. Now how many Jews living in Palestine in the first century AD looked like that? :lol:

You've been reading too much into that Scripture nonsense, I suggest taking a Naziism or KKK based view of Christianity.

I learned recently that mormons believe that the Garden of Eden was located in Missouri 8O
It is incredible that they believe that, I wonder if that would make Adam and Eve caucasian, according to them?

I think they believe Indians and Blacks were stained by ancestral sins... so yes.

Hm... the modern-day US, according to Mormon tradition, was populated by Israelites who boated there from the Mediterranean. Those supposedly were the Native Americans. So no, not Caucasian.

Nah, just Blacks. And they dropped that belief a couple decades ago under sufficient public pressure, just as they came to condemn polygamy after enough pressure was put on them.

Really? I thought it was Indians too. I get some of my stuff from the South Park episode on Mormonism.

There's a lot about Mormonism I disagree with, including the BOM itself.
