    YARD.

    Can anyone guess what the above acronym stands for? It's getting old now, to be fair.

    I hope that people who might visit will be sophisticated enough to see what's going on and point and laugh but the fact it's even being contemplated depresses me greatly.
    science class should teach about science
    theology/religious class should teach about religion
    so that's why i dont understand religious lovers and religious haters...

    do people point and laugh at parents who bring their kids to line up to take a photo with Santa at the local high street stores? or do they just let them be...?

    Not that I'm aware of, but so far as I'm aware, no one has recommended going to invade other countries and killing other people due to a belief in Santa or any of his derivatives.

    Mind you Santa is an anagram of SATAN!!!!!

    you shouldn't fall into the trap of agreeing with people who use religion as a basis of a crime. a crime is a crime.

    that is pretty funny!

    edit - something i found in wiki Santa Claus Bank Robbery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia funny stuff...

    I'm fine with religion being taught in religious class, that's what it's for. However, I am not comfortable with religion being taught in science class and that's what these fruits actually want. Nor would they stop there, they have an active and dangerous agenda.

    Also you can't compare homely little things like believing in Santa with educational matters surely? Secondary school kids can believe in Santa if they like but I sure as hell wouldn't want it taught in physics class, even if it is frankly more believable than humans and dinosaurs co-existing!!!

    Actually, the Devil's best trick seems to have been the invention of religion...

    Huh?!? No, my point was that people keep up the belief in Santa for their kids as it's generally accepted as a benign thing. We all know Santa doesn't exist really, but we keep the myth going as we see it as harmless. Whereas I was pointing out that religion unlike Santa has been used as a jutification for killing and enslaving people by other religous people (and sometimes totally non-religous people taking advantage of peoples beliefs).

    So that's why I have no problem with Santa but is one of the many reasons I have problems with religion.


    BTW, do we really know that Santa doesn't have goats feet in those boots of his?

    i am sure parents who bring their kids up until some religion wasn't thinking to train them to be killers or masters of enslaving people

    therefore, we shouldn't believe people who associate their crimes with their belief of religion. not an excuse to a crime

    we all know santa doesn't exist other than the little kids

    no idea on the goats feet!

    Re: Creationists plan British theme park

    can you prove santa doesn't exist?

    until you can i'll belive in him. He is in lots of books that are often well over 50 years old. So it must be true.

    the reason for my posting was
    a) I am a reactionary
    b) the term 'creationist' seems to have been narrowed down to a single definition, that of '6 days literally' etc. For me (and many others) the term means that there is a God who is the source of His creation, and was involved along the way. Just to clarify.

    Are you going to answer my post at all Fuddam? Why should anybody take your opinion seriously or any of your fellow christians when you can't agree what it is god is telling you ?

    If you really can chat with God, then maybe you can ask him that physics question and stun the science world with a good answer that makes perfect sense. Frankly I find the idea that a 'creator' is responsible for everything absurd, we know that complex things emerge from simple systems and it makes no sense at all that all the simple things in the universe were created by a complex (never mind omnipotent) being. After all, who created the creator? in fact maybe you should ask him that one as well. Until religious people can provide these answers and some evidence then I will never accept it as a credible theory. Until that day, its just as much a wacky idea as the earth being a meatball created by the Flying Spaghetti's monster.

    I think that anything published or distributed by these clowns should be legally required to have a disclaimer like books do ' any similarity between persons living or dead is purely coincidental and any statements in this book are made without any supporting evidence or falsifiable theory and should not be confused with scientifically accepted fact'.

    G4Z, i can assure you that there are scientists that disagree on the extent of various non-religious things too (e.g. quantum mechanics and relativitiy which were developed around the same time) at any given time...

    Re: Creationists plan British theme park

    The problem is that others beliefs are often scary when they start to infringe on you and yours.

    I was sat next to this girl on the tube this morning, who was underlyinging passages in some glossy mag that was citing how satan's influnces are running the world. I honestly hope to god she doesn't belive that fire and brimstone filth, as most of it was only ever used as a device to insight hatred anyway. It scares me because its a slippery slope once any form of rationality has been removed between that, and say rounding up all the welsh people because they are obviously satans workers.

    ...and the determination of when oneself is on a slippery slope is a variable which is determined by oneself only...
