“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”


I am not crazy about man made religion, either. Many of them seek control over people, rather than share the Good News, and that is the Gospel

you can replace the word religion with the word faith in my quot and it still applies...maybe even moreso.

Just for you Wylie. The John 3:16 playoff game, starring QB Tim Tebow:

On Jan. 8, 2009, in the BCS Championship Game, then-Florida quarterback Tim Tebow wore eye black with the inscription John 3:16, a reference to the Bible passage that says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

On Jan. 8, 2012, three years to the date that he caused millions of football fans to Google the meaning of John 3:16, Tebow played his first NFL playoff game, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And ?

Tebow threw for 316 yards.

Tebow averaged 31.6 yards per completion, the highest single-game postseason completion average in NFL history.

Ben Roethlisberger's second-quarter interception, which led to a Matt Prater field goal and a 17-6 Broncos lead, came on third-and-16.

The Steelers finished the game with a time of possession of 31:06.

And at the time Tebow threw the game-winning 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas -- the NFL's longest postseason pass in overtime history -- CBS's final quarter-hour overnight ratings were, yes, a 31.6

There there can be no denying that the events from Denver's wild-card win over Pittsburgh are downright eerie.

When this string of 3:16 facts was relayed to one NFL executive this week, he paused and said: "Is that right? I'm converting."

94 million googled John 3:16 that day

what does any of that have to do with my statement? My statement is that the thing that bothers me most about religion/faith is when people with those religions of that faith try to push it on other people. I can see bringing it up once, but when someone tells you they are not interested, then it is time to shut up.

We are commanded to plant seeds and to be an example by the way we live our lives and how we love others. The end. Bashing and ridiculing isn't part of that command.

I posted the 3:16 game simply because I THOUGHT some might find it interesting. Did you look at it??

I read it. I also appreciate it.
Tebow is a fascinating story from his unlikely birth to his unlikely success.

I think he was talking to me, Bruce...not you. Yes, I looked at. Interesting but it has nothing to do with what I posted.

religion is a canard

nine out of ten people have some kind of faith

hence ergo thus

we are still monkeys

Where do we come from? Why are we here? These are questions a lot of people agonize over, though we're usually too busy doing more expedient stuff like watching Netflix. But, because y'all insisted, we got our lazy behinds off the couch and started researching the whole creationism vs. evolution thing. We watched YouTube videos, visited the Ark Encounter, and binged every episode of Bill Nye Saves the World. Several interns died to bring us this information, so please cherish it.

Origins

Creationism: Man looked around at creation and was like, "Yep, this was definitely designed. Only an idiot would think otherwise."

Evolution: It all began when a guy sailed to an island and saw a bunch of birds with different sizes of beaks which of course can only mean God is dead.

Beliefs

Creationism: We were fashioned by the universe's greatest artist and engineer who loves us and has a plan for us. Also, Jesus probably rode a dinosaur at some point, which is pretty frickin' rad.

Evolution: All life evolved from a rock billions of years ago totally by accident so you should just kill yourself because everything is meaningless. Talk about an uplifting worldview!

Notable proponents

Creationism: Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr, Sir Isaac Newton, Michelangelo, Jackie Robinson, Joan of Arc, William Wallace, Abraham Lincoln, Neil Armstrong, Cyrus the Great, Anne Frank, Superman, Captain America. These guys are real anti-science crackpots! What a bunch of loons!

Evolution: Charles Darwin, Satan, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, The Zodiac Killer, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Marquis de Sade, Emperor Nero, The Joker, Voldemort, Bill Nye the Science Guy. A fine group of mostly peaceful individuals.

Prominent works

Creationists: The Bible and pretty much every work of art and literary classic that was ever written in history.

Evolutionists: 50 Shades of Grey, Feminist Baby, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. (Yeah, that's the real title of Charles Darwin's foundational work. How has he not been canceled yet!?)

Accomplishments

Creationists: Western civilization, billions lifted out of poverty, technology, science, innovation, hospitals, relief efforts, libraries, society.

Evolutionists: Hundreds of millions killed by atheistic evolutionists under communism. Great job, guys!

Position on science

Creationism: Against.

Evolutionists: HAIL SCIENCE, FULL OF GRACE

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In an emergency, overnight referendum, the American people voted on Thursday to replace the United States Senate with a room full of monkeys throwing feces. The measure passed with 57% of the vote. 22% of voters thought the Senate should be replaced by barking seals, while 17% voted that the replacement should be the pit of venomous snakes from Indiana Jones. 3.97% voted that Senate members be replaced by screaming goats. "About 100 people" voted for the current Senators to keep their jobs, with this tiny voting bloc centered in Washington, D.C.

Highland Ape Rescue out of West Virginia will be teaming up with Cornwell Primate farms to supply hundreds of monkeys and apes to the Senate. The animals will be fed a nutritious mixture of foods that produce easily throwable feces. Protective glass will be put up around the Senate for camera crews to safely film, but anyone being interviewed by the new senators will have to sit in the middle of the poo-flinging octagon, coming under a heavy barrage of projectile excrement.

"It will be a huge improvement from how things were before," said ape trainer, Marlena Henwick. "No more 10-12 hour hearings. With these monkeys, all the fecal projectiles will have been flung in under 30 minutes. One and done." Talk about getting things passed....

The recently replaced senators will be placed on display at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. for families to observe and zoologists to study.

I don't care about anyone else's religion either, and if their religion or faith gives them peace of mind and a better life, who am I to judge it. On the other hand, I don't like being told often that I am going to hell because I don't believe what someone else believes.
