Don't you love the Christians? Their whole belief system is based on 2000 year old myths that they think has some relevance to today. I mean, other than for starting wars.
Christmas and Easter are Pagan rituals that they stole in a political attempt to undermine the Pagans, which pretty much worked.
If you read Greek mythology you can see where most of the bible came from; virgin births, the father, the son, big floods, etc, etc all the mythologies have them.
Lovely myths for the deluded, something to live their lives by, which is great, people, apparently, need something to believe in.
As for intelligent Design? Arrogance, that's all it is. The magnitude of nature and space needing to be controlled by man, or an image man has built of himself. The universe can't be so intricate that man didn't have something to do with it's construction. Just fools, really.
So believe in what you want, Christianity, Buddhism, star gazing, the universality of rocks, if that's what gets you through, but call it what it is, a belief and not the ultimate truth.
The ultimate truth is, we live, we die, just like fish and leopards and blow flies.
So why is it then that Christians have such an influence on issues like abortion and gay marriage, especially when Christianity represents such a small percentage of the community, lets put it at 10%. The truth is that most people don't object to having a bit of snot removed that is only going to grow into an unwanted child. And love is love, surely more people getting married strengthens the old irrelevant institution? If they want to, why not? Basically, it just boils down to the same old thing, Christian bigotry.
