Free Republic's religious ghetto

There is an area on Free Republic that is not on the front page. But the threads do turn up upon occasion. They are the religious threads - 'Is Mormonism a Cult,' 'Is the Pope infallible,' and other stuff like that.

Creationism-type craziness isn't my personal cup of tea, but today has been a bit slow on Free Republic, as the Freepers continue to go around in circles about Sarah Palin , Herman Cain and occupy Wall Street. So I decided to take a peek:

MrB knows nothing random can exist:

He made ADAPTATION operational, and this is why species/kinds can adapt to various environments on this earth.
This ability was ORIGINAL in the created kinds,and was NOT added later, gradually.To put it another way, the adaptibility that evos would credit to mutation is/was actually already in the information in each creature at creation.

So every dinosaur contained within it, a secret chicken.

mtg has this indictment:


according to evolution, humans are just a link in the evolutionary chain. What will be the next species to evolve from homo sapeins? A completely new species with a much higher intelligence, maybe having wings, or the ability to survive in the ocean?


This could put the homo sapiens on the same level as monkeys are to human beings today. This utterly destroys the idea that evolution is in any way, consistent with the Bible. In fact, it is completely contrary to Holy Scripture. Do away with the Bible and you do away with God.


Not wings!

BrandtMichaels has the talking points all set:

I highly doubt Darwin would continue to stand by his theory today in light of all that we have learned in the past 150 years. No primordial soup! No transitional fossils! Vestigial organs turns out to be a lie! Organs that have outlived their purpose [i.e. appendix] a lie!

spirited irish:

Evolutionism is pride disguised as science, for it is man’s finite mind over the infinite mind of God the Father.
As the first victim of pride is truth, for pride hates truth, ought we be surprised that evolutionism is fraudulent? That it is spiritual rather than empirical?

And this logic works for all science! Earth-centered universe here we come!

MrB knows what evolution leads to:


Evolution and Communism go hand in glove.
Communism is “societal evolution”, justified by natural evolutionary theory, it is also based on:


the idea that some humans are further advanced than others and deserve to rule


Hmmm. Stalin may disagree with that...

rjsimmon doesn't agree in free will.

Imagine, Evolution is God’s way.
Do you understand how oxymoronic that statement happens to be? How can a designer allow something to happen by random chance? It is a self-defeating argument.
God is the grand designer, he created all life. The miracle of the cell and DNA has his fingerprints all over it.

  1. YOUR ghetto seems to "concentrate" on the religious right camps, let your balls hang lower & prouder and post some "objective stuff" about islam. because it's easy to beat up on the "turn your cheek" crowd, the beheading crowd, not so much

  2. Oh dear. Poor Freepers, always at war with someone or something.

    Would they be for prayer in school if those prayers were directed toward Allah or Satan or a Sarah Lee Cheesecake? No, of course not. If they were in the minority, they'd be demanding the separation of Church and State.

    This is such a simple, easy to understand point that I've often been surprised that Freepers don't come to this conclusion themselves.

  3. @Stanley,
    Back again under a new screenname, I see. Liberals will always be against anyone who tries to make their religious views into law. As soon as Muslims try to force Sharia law in America, you can bet that liberals will be up in arms about it. That's the only difference.

  4. @eph: it must really turn the muslims on the way you do your "mouth says no but your eyes say yes" routine. ohio has already capitulated to sharia law in banning prok from its prison food menus, there are multiple other examples, it's the slow errosion that you libs seem incapable of seeing until it's too late.

  5. @Stanley,
    Would it have bothered you as much if the inmate had been a Jewish person who sued over no kosher selections on the menu? Would you have complained about Jews trying to institute Talmudic law? Banning pork, while an overreaction, is not "capitulating to sharia law." And Ohio is hardly a liberal bastion. Remember, they went for Bush both times.

  6. when you are in prison your choices are limited no matter what "religion" you are, and the lawsuit further demnads that all meat be prepared according to islmaic law. like i said the slow errosion of u.s. law no matter what the source is a problem and you libs continually turn a blind eye to it.

  7. @Stanley,
    Nothing you wrote proves anything about your assertion of an erosion of US law by Islamic law. Just because some courts take other cultures into consideration when making rulings (whether the rulings are right or wrong) doesn't mean that it's equal to "creeping Shariah." Believe me, liberals will fight against any attempt to make Shariah or any other religious belief the law of the land.
