Every Sunday, after the snake-handling

in all seriousness, potassium cyanide will kill you in a small dose in approximately 45 minutes whether you are christian or not. modern medicine can prevent you from dying, not the power of christ.

Oh ye of little faith. God can do anything.

then by all means follow jim jones. you would prove the survival of the fittest observation.

Jim Jones was a cultist whose believers thought he was Jesus. That's not Christianity.

As for drinking poison to prove a point:
Luke 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Deuteronomy 6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

So I'm protected if I accidentally drink poison, I'm not protected if I say "oh yeah, well God, prove it!"
These people seem to do okay, although I am suspicious of Pentecostals.

I have handled snakes though, somebody had to get that rattler out of the yard before it hurt one of the dogs or the boys.

if you wanted those scriptures to prove a point you can drink poison, i see no correlation. and by all means, take heavy dose of arsenic. please prove me wrong that you will not die.

so have other people who are a different religion or no religion. you arent special.

you cant

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

No those quotes were meant to point out that I am not to tempt God by purposely drinking poison to prove a point.

I noticed that you completely ignored the Pentecostals I linked to.

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

oh no i saw it alright. strychnine is a toxin yes, however, the pentecostals do not take the lethal dose to kill them. they take swigs of the stuff with a very low molarity (concentration). hell they even said one died. and ok, if you want to take those verses literally and not drink poison to prove a point fine by me; however, if an accident happens which they always do, and you are tampering with ammonia or carbon monoxide, you will die. end of story

also, many different religions handle snakes. some with fatalities just like the pentecostals. they all are no different

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

So anyways I don't know if we're still on the topic about tails with regards to evolution

Studies have shown that our proportionately large gluteous muscles are an analog to the purpose that tails serve for simians. For simians, their tail is a balancing mechanism that allows them to keep themselves upright when they are walking or are travelling through the tree limbs.

For humans, our gluteous muscles work in conjunction with our dorsal muscles to keep us erect.

You can look at a chimpanzee or a bonobo and see that their rear ends are just not as muscular as man's is.

As an aside - the same studies say that our super strong glutes are the reason why we are capable of such long endurance running

You have presented further proof that humans did NOT evolve from monkeys; the proof being in our backsides, so to speak. Glory!

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

Oh puh-lease!

If you would have said primates, you would have known "101" about your false religion. Apparently, you don't.

We also (again, apparently, according to your so called "science") share quite a few genes with pigs. Does that mean we can constantly walk around (and worse ) in our own poo?

Get a grip.

If you want to go back far enough, we share some genes with cockroaches. just because you share some genes dosent mean your at all related. if you have 98% of the same genes however thats a different story.

on another note, pigs are actually very cleanly. theyre dirty reputation comes from their habit of taking theraputic mud baths to cool off.

I always love hearing this from people who have never lived with pigs. You'd think pigs lived like this

apparently whoever drew that thought so.

hows it any different from a person bathing in mud?
and yes actually for a brief time i did live with some pigs and other than the mud sloshing they were relatively clean. they didnt go anywhere near their fecal matter

but then again in the long run, why does this matter?

Most people who raise pigs keep them out of their homes, why would you live with them? You are a strange person.

All this matters because you are wasting your life on nonsense instead on spending it on being saved by Jesus Christ!
