"False religion" is the only religion.
If so, then athiesm, agnosticism and evolutionary theory are "false religions" along with the rest. Do you want to go that far?
Texas Church Cancels Gay Funeral
Why would the family of the "allegedly" gay man, give any CHURCH, pictures of him or any other man touching each other (it would have to be explicit for them to renege on their contract)? They have a flimsy excuse for denying him a funeral after everything they'd been through with his family (members of the church). That is horrible to imagine. But, imagine this...If you smoke cigarettes, you can't get a "proper" burial. If you are over-weight, you can't get a "proper" burial. There is no one else other than yourself that can keep you from these things. I also want to throw out there..."Why can't they make their own church?" No one knows at the end of time if you belong to the "right" church or not. And there are limited amounts of people that can get in. I may be in the wrong forum..."forgive" me....
No forgiveness necessary. This is the place to vent.
Let's all have our corpses frozen so if the government figures out how to ressurect fresh corpses, ours will still be fresh cause they were frozen

Atheism is lack of belief in a god.
Agnosticism is an acknowledgment that it is impossible to know if god exists.
Evolutionary theory is science and has got nothing to do with a belief set you blistering f@cking halfwit.

Once again, Wilso has stunned the board with his intellectualism.

"Evolution Is a Religion Which Masquerades as Science"
Evolution fact or fiction
A fact is something that exists beyond question. It is an actuality, an objective reality. It is established by solid evidence.
A theory is something unproved but at times assumed true for the sake of argument. It has yet to be proved as factual. Nonetheless, sometimes something is declared to be a fact that is only a theory.
The theory of organic evolution falls into this second category.
On September 30, 1986, The New York Times published an article by a New York University professor, Irving Kristol. His contention is that if evolution were taught in the public schools as the theory it is rather than as the fact it isn't, there would not be the controversy that now rages between evolution and creationism. Kristol stated: "There is also little doubt that it is this pseudoscientific dogmatism that has provoked the current religious reaction."
well that tears it.
i've decided to become a reverend so i can teach evolution to my congregation, and give proper funerals to people without being petty and hypocritical about how well they adhered to the book of leviticus.

Ancient Types of Man and his 1915
The Antiquity of Man, held modern humans to be equally ancient as extinct homonids, and who was among the key propononents of Piltdown Man.
Quote:We now know that when the Piltdown type was being evolved in England-or at the western end of the Old World-a totally different type had come into being in the Eastern lands of the Old World. The Eastern types had low receding foreheads, modelled as in the gorilla and chimpanzee. The Western or Piltdown type differed; it had a relatively upright and high forehead modelled not on goirlla lines but rather on those of the organg. While the Eastern forms retained in their shape of head the low squat type of the chimpanzee and gorilla, the Western or Piltdown type tended to assume the higher vaulted skull seen in modern races. There is no denying that in many of his features Piltdown man foreshadowed some of the structural modifications we find in modern races of mankind. Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, I know, will agree with me as to how Piltdown man came by such features; he came by them independently, for discoveries of recent years have proved that diverse races of mankind have undergone the same structural change quite independently of each other. And there is also no denying that through all his known parts there runs a simian vein in Piltdown man, in his skull and brain as well as is in his mandible.

Great source hankarin.
You know, back in June when you first started posting here I asked you this question.
Some of us like to think of A2K as a place where folks can come and get quality information. If you are intent on leaving big piles of poo about evolution, it would be better if you did it on the
Don't tell me there's no proof for evolution thread which is the current hot topic for discussion of evolution. A few of our members with scientific backgrounds and other fields of knowledge check in there regularly and are quite handy with pooper scoopers.

Which denomination will you be ordained in?
nondenominational- all the way.

That will work for you in our modern world. Go for it.
i hope you're right about that. i think i'll do some research first, including here.

Please, do the research. And ask many others before embarking on a real career choice. Careers in religion don't have much of a future from what I can see.
oh i wasn't planning on doing it for a living. it would be free as well. i reserve the right to sell books if i ever write one, but i'm happy to keep my career separate from it.
maybe i'll sell other people's books, and gifts too, but it isn't absolutely necessary. i wasn't thinking about a business aspect until you brought it up, but with some people, that might help it catch on. i'll go ahead and promise not to offer premium services.
