there's one about bearing false witness too..... smart ass

Good post

Particularly the start...

You can't have it both ways. Make up your mind

Meanwhile.., the whole of the "Liberal kingdom" seems to have an aversion to school prayer regardless of its' nondenominational origin.
Science has killed a hundred thousand times more people than has religion.
How about banning science in public schools.
Close-mindedness comes in all forms.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Certainly one can...

It's called leaving judgement to God and worrying about one's own sins...

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

It is impossible to remove prayer from the school system... Though public didplays can be banned...

I don't know how you figure science has killed more people than religion... Wars are not fought over science...

CounterRevolutionary

It looks as if we are debating 3 different topics:
1) Organized religion's rules of human conduct for the survival of civilization,
2) the existence of a God-Creator-Intelligent Designer as both religion and science.
3) the freedom of man to determine his own behavior.

Take a look at these YouTube videos on Darwinism vs Intelligent Design:

Author Douglas Axe presents his book
Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed
Streamed live on Jul 13, 2016
"A remarkable thing about evolutionary theory is the way it demands that we deny our intuition at almost every step. Evolutionists then assure us that the science is all figured out, so we needn't trouble our silly heads about the relevant biology. In his new book, Douglas Axe of Biologic Institute turns this standard assurance on its head. In Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed (HarperOne 2016), Dr. Axe restores the place of intuition alongside intellect in considering the question of life's origins."

"About the Author:
"Douglas Axe is the director of Biologic Institute. His research uses both experiments and computer simulations to examine the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems. After a Caltech PhD he held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre, and the Babraham Institute in Cambridge. His work and ideas have been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature, and in such books as Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer and Life’s Solution by Simon Conway Morris."

Axe asks how hard it is for new genes and new proteins to evolve, especially randomly over time as postulated by Darwin. The Book offers Mathematical technical calculations, largely ignored by the current academic community, as well as intuition supporting an Intelligenct Designer - a creator. Axe argues that the educated elite are stuck in a hole of misinformation. Kids see the world in terms of design first, not defined by language, things are made, and cannot be made with out knowhow, not made by accident.

Published on Mar 22, 2013 short interview with Dough Axe.
Dr. Douglas Axe, director of Biologic Institute, will be a featured speaker at the fourth annual Westminster Conference on Science and Faith on April 5-6, 2013 at Covenant Fellowship Church in the greater Philadelphia area. This year's theme is "How Did It All Begin?" How did the universe begin? How did life start? How did complex living things arise? Explore these big questions and more at the conference.

The full title of Darwin's work "On the origin of species" is: "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

There is no doubt as to why Karl Marx, Jefferson Davis, and Robert E. Lee embraced Darwinism over Intelligent Design by an Intelligent Designer and our Declaration of Independence declaring all men created equal under God.

Just to obtain a functioning protein, the odds are with 150 amino acids 10 raised to the 77th power and to build a human genome, the odds are 1 trillion years raised to the 27th power, or the number 1 followed by 324 zeros. If the universe since Big Bang is only 14 billion years, and Earth is only 4 billion years old, random selection of genes via Darwin's theory of evolution in 1 trillion (27) power, is virtually impossible.

One celled animals are hermaphrodites, but the more complex animal kingdom emerged as male and female (love) amongst mammals, determining genetic selection, cutting the evolution process to less than 541 million years after the Cambrian explosion and the rise of humans to less than 2 million years.

Evolution is designed top down, not bottom up as with Darwin's "survival of the fittest" tree of life. How curious it is that the Democrats' "liberalism" censors the Discovery Institute theories but pushes Darwin's racist theories in evolution under the pretense of being non-racist. Man is given the gift of free agency, not to be en-captured in a gilded cage. We could end these gruesome wars if we wanted to.

Singularity

There is merit in remaining open minded while learning. One wishes to avoid excessive gullibility vs crippling cynicism.

Somewhere else I wrote about the Chinese people in possession of gunpowder and not using it properly. The silence was deafening, Kemmer said "huh"?

Well, it made my day, anyway, listening to all the impotent mystics on here. Mr. Alan Watts once attempted to school himself in Shinto and bring it to U.S.A. students, according to the priests who married my Japanese friend Masakazu Hori San in Kyoto way back when... His (Watts') writings became a required reading as well as Kalil Gibhran in our Ivy League institutions whose product tries to govern us today. Why the endless search for the true god still continues???

newbear Loc: New York City

I was going to say that too, thanks. This one is very important and quite willfully ignored by our fellow Christians.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

How did the Chinese use gunpowder improperly?

newbear Loc: New York City

The way you, Canuckus, use my comments improperly, ha ha.

God also gave us the ability to make our OWN judgement and the ability to discern right from wrong

So that we could condemn others?
