thats why i heart you SO mauz!
guys guys guys...
there is no need to bicker,there are 4500 religions on the PLANET.
why is everyone just picking on the semetic traid?
why not the religion where god is a neo-morphic turtle who holds the universe on its back?thats a good one to pick on.
attenborough clearly has a problem with christian dogma,and lets be honest,the book of genesis is pretty retarded by todays standards.maybe 3500 yrs ago it made a modecum of sense,today it just seems dumb.
then again most christians are totally unaware that the book of genesis is a metaphorical representation of the tree of life/tree of knowledge (da'ath).
would christian scholars keep that from their adherent believers?
noooooo that would be intellectually dishonest /snark.

doctrine and dogma should be examined and debated,and ultimately rejected if based on poor theology.it is the fundamentalist who cannot exercise this vital action,for to do so would,in essence,be rejecting god in their eyes.i believe attenborough was addressing these types of believers.
i also believe that some atheists are so confident in their own rational and feel so 100% positively RIGHT they too can come across with the fanaticism of a religious fundamentalist.
so let me give you the literal translation of "agnostic"..
it means "not-knowing".
speaking only for myself,i dont know.i may FEEL,i may THINK but ultimately..
i dont know.
the encounters i have with atheists,and being in the profession i am,i meet a LOT of atheists,the single most common thread is their abhorrance to religion and its inherent hypocrisies,contradictions,revisionist history and mind-numbing FEAR-mongering(semetic triad mostly).i cant necessarily disagree with them,because they are correct.the biggest problem i have had recently has been with the religious right.atheists just pepper me with questions,the religious right sends me subpeonas..talk about a WTF moment.
at the end of the day we are all agnostic,but boy o boy is it fun to poke at fundamentalists! so ends todays sermon..
dont forget to tip your bartenders and waitresses!
