Teacher Fired For Telling College Classroom That Bible Isn't Literal
'I'm just a little bit shocked myself that a college in good standing would back up students who insist that people who have been through college and have a master's degree, a couple actually, have to teach that there were such things as talking snakes or

insanity.

'From my point of view, what they're doing is essentially teaching their students very well to function in the eighth century.'

LOL-ZING!

Surely that can't be the reason he was fired.
There's GOTTA be somethin' more valid than
such bullshit ... or the US is n BIG fukkin' trouble,
an' I don't even wanna imagine what'd come of such
scholastic nonsense being acceptable across the country.

When they asked the republican PRESIDENTIAL candidates if they believe in evolution the vast majority of them said they didn't.

It never fails to amaze, does it? In the year 2000, I would have ballparked only 20% of the nation refuted Evolution, and considered that a pretty bad sign of our current state.

Half the nation believing the bible is true really showcases the failings in democracy. Yay, everyone gets a voice! Oh wait, over half of us are retardo noise machines.

i attended a catholic university, and i can honestly say that i sat in class while an 80 year old priest lectured about how the bible is more or less allegorical. if you can't figure it out you are not religious so much as retarded in the brain

Yeah, well, Catholics are actually (usually...) more reasonable about those sort of things than Evangelical protestants. You see, the Vatican has totally gotten burned by science before (Gallileo?).

Don't be so sure. For all their 'reasonableness' and assurances that one can believe in the Big Bang and evolution by natural selection, in its heart and soul, the Catholic Church, as a matter of doctrine, officially holds that the universe was Created in six days and that Adam and Eve were real, living people who frolicked in the Garden of Eden; were deceived and committed the sin of Pride against God.

In fact, the whole structure and purpose of the church depends on there being a Creation, if you think about it. If there was no Adam & Eve, then there's no need for the concept of Original Sin. And if there is no Original Sin, there really isn't much need of a Messiah to redeem all us fallen souls.

It is pointless to discuss what the Bible says unless it is taken literally--if you choose to take the Bible metaphorically, or allegorically, or sarcastically, for instance, then the Bible says just what you, or anyone-else says it says.

This is awesome.

This is the first pornsite I've found in years that I'd actually advertise to swarmers. When you first load it up, it looks just like every crappy scam site out there, except that it's real. It's huge, it's updated constantly, there's no spam, no popups, and no bullshit -- and it's completely free. When you sign up through that link above and respond to the confirmation email, I make a bit of loose change.

See what other swarmers have to say about it. People love this place, so I feel fine about sending you there and am confident you will enjoy boners.
