read your bible kids!
I've taken Bible study ever since I was 9.
I know what I'm talking about!
and maybe I don't know for sure whether someone is going to heaven or live with Lucifer...judgement day will come...then we'll know!

Perhaps you should try learning something else. Like philosophy. Then you might notice what a bunch of crap you've been posting.

I get the impression you're the only "kid" here.

Have you ever actually read the bible? Not the nice snippets your teacher showed you. The whole thing? I doubt it.

That's impressive? lol.

It's not THAT large a book that reading it three times in a life is impressive.

And I didn't ask about your teacher. I asked about you.
So. You have not read the bible. And yet claim to have the wisdom to make broad claims about the fate of someone elses soul. Someone you have only just met?

Your arrogance is astounding.

Why haven't you? It's a fairly easy book to read (although true understanding might be a bit harder). You shouldn't go around passing judgements on people based on a book you haven't even read.

I'm ok towards either belief. I believe, that as long as you acknowledge the fact that God did indeed create us, it doesn't matter what you believe about evolution. I mean really, does it matter that much? There is way too much controversy over such a 'small' thing. I live in Kansas and that means its a pretty hot subject here. Even though I am a staunch Roman Catholic (traditional), I don't agree that "Creative Design" should be taught in schools, because I don't think Evolution should be taught in churches. We might as well teach what other religions believe also--Hindus, various Pagans, and even Pastafarians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster). People back up their argument and say that the US is a christian nation, look around you people, does this look like a christian nation? Shyeah right. The US is probably one of the most secular countries out there. I wanna move to a country ruled by Christian (preferablly Catholic) Monarchs :p

Emphasis mine.

That is not going to happen. Not everyone believes in you god, or any god, or that their deity had a direct hand in our creation.
As for the other, I am not aware of any country that matches your requirements.

Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I meant, I don't think it matters if christians believe it either way. I mean, I don't think the schools should teach that God or a god induced creation (through evolution or creative design or by any other means). You know what I'm saying?

As for the countries, there are a few: England, Spain, Vatican City <---I think there are a few more.

England is a very secular country, with an anglican royal family.
Spain is fairly secualr, and the vatican isn't exactly a country in the traditional sense.

I kind of realized those things after I read them xD I meant like--well, in countries like that, they'd actually have a basis for calling it a CHRISTIAN country, unlike the US which is definately not christian. In fact, democracies/republics (lets not get hung up on terms :p) were the governments least associated with Christianity. Arghh, people who believe in that "christian right" stuff--ick, don't get me started.

Ireland is a good bet if you want a country where the majority of people are catholic. And spain and france I think.

But their governments are all secular.

Anyhoo. Derailed this thread enough with this tangent.

there are only two choices...you are either with God, or against him...you either are with God, or Satan.

So, you're either with God, or have...a mutual friend of God's?

She forgot the third option, you could actually BE DarkFire and by extension the lesser being who calls himself "God", and then randomly switch sides to be a d**k! whee

Except they weren't.

Funny that.

Look it up why don't you.

p.s. I mean in history books and such.

I believe a bit of both. God created all life and gave that life the ability to evolve. Evolution has been proven through fossils and what not. But at the same time, life had to start somewhere....


and I don't buy into the whole "We are apes" thing...
