I am literally scratching my head trying to figure out what that means.

I didn't say all catholics. But most catholics have no clue what evolution is. They say that evolution states that we come from monkeys. That's not knowing what evolution is. Now, I won't change my mind until I can go one busride while doing my biology homework without some catholic lady telling me i'm going to hell.

I'm rather religious and I know evolution is waht happened...

Kitana, that's exactly how I feel.

How do you know they are Catholic? Do they tell you they are?

I'm not saying that it's not possible, but it's not like Catholics have the monopoly on ignorance.

Sorry. I misread it. I thought it was a catholic site.

Easy. The hardcore religious right operate more out of fear than love. They are afraid of evolution, homosexuality and pretty much anything that does not scream Jesus as is noted by the obsurd D&D strip.

Instead of spending the time teaching the tenants of Christianity such as love, sacrifice and tolerance, they prefer to teach misunderstanding of anything not directly related to their particluar brand of faith in a failed attempt to keep their congregation ignorant. Their literal translation of the Bible has perverted their faith to being more about what NOT to do instead of what TO do.

They teach ignorance and fear, not the spirituality of their own faith.

I figured as such. If you go into the FAQ, you will find that he has also published comics saying that Catholics are not Christian and must renounce their ways if they are to be saved.

It is unfortunate that because people see the Catholic Church as intolerable and too conservative that they are often assumed to be the ones behind such things as the comics on this site.

Hm does anybody agree that the catholic church has many believes and perhaps rituals that do not originate from the bible? Perbetory, the Trinity, even christmas?

I also find if strange that most catholics don't agree with eachother. While the bible says that all true believers should believe the same things. But I'l try not to turn this into a too religious thread...

The D&D one

The Evolution one

The one about Bad Bob

The 2nd Evolution one

And there's like...100 more.

I wish catholics knew what evolution is. It's the passing on of genes. The reason things change is because the organisms with the best genes live the longest and pass their genes down to their offspring. The best example is with dog breeding. We didn't jus magically transform from monkeys. In fact, we didn't even come from monkeys. Monkeys and humans just have common ancestors.

I beleive in God but still, these comice sicken me.


Some catholics are crazy.

Please don't be a moron.

These aren't Catholics, not even close.

When you talk about the "religious right" you don't mean Catholics, Catholics believe in evolution, they're also officially way more liberal than they portray themselves. The documents of Vatican II prove this; unfortunately they're not often followed. Vatican II absolved the Jews of any wrong doing in regards to the death of Jesus, it also states that one does not need to be Catholic or be Christian to even be "saved," though in the end they will be saved by Jesus Christ. Catholtheism even recognizes that there is truth in other religions.

Stop ripping on Catholics, they’ve got a LOT of problems and they’re still way, way, way too conservative but they’re far better than the vast majority of protestant denominations.

Ehm StoneCutter you might wanna read the rest of the thread before repeating things that others said... but thanks anyway.

Well we think a lot of other people are way, way, way too liberal so there.

[Dylflon]

Stonecutter, it was a mistake on my behalf. I understand the mistake now. I thoguht they were catholic. I don't know a whole lot about catholics because I've met only a few. Those few however have acted in a very high and mighty way telling me that they're the correct ones and everyone else is going to hell. Maybe that's jsut those specific ones though.

Thanks for calling me a moron, btw.

To get it strait again, i have no problem with peoples religion and beliefs, just like peple should have no problem with my beliefs. Im scared to write this, but i dont believe in God, nor a heaven or hell. I believe Jesus was a real man, as moses and others, But i do not believe in the fortold stories about them.

Think about it, after thousands of years, dont you think that the stories would get embellished a LITTLE to make them sound better? And how were thing passed around back then? Word of mouth, so it could have been greatly embellished. ( And turning water into wine isnt hard....All you hafta do is get 2 buckets, 1 water, 1 wine, and dilute the wine inot the water, then you will have 2 buckets of diluted wine.) Im not trying to offend anyone with these comments.

But a while back i was outside my house and two Mormons came up to me and asked me " Do you believe in our Savior?" i said "No" and the said they felt sorry for me.. Why? Its my beliefs, you dont hear every Athiest saying that they feel sorry for people that are religious...

[Dylflon]

Typhoid, break your posts into little paragraphs. It makes htem easier to read.

[Hero2]

LOL these comics have to be some of the funniest **** ive ever read. emphasis on "****" the D&D one cracked me up. there is some reality there but its blown out of proprtion.

the only one I dident get was The 2nd Evolution one.

It says that glutons were "A made up dream Noone has seen or mesured them". yet jesus (who people have seen and mesured, holding together molicules) holds all molicules into place.
not to make fun of anyones beliefs. Im just pointing out that they say one thing is wrong because its not proven with a belief thats not proven either.
