		<description>&lt;b&gt;Bret Lythgoe&lt;/b&gt;:  &lt;i&gt;&quot;Are you the type of Christian, who believes, that the only criterion, for being saved, is belief, in Jesus Christ, and it doesn’t matter what your moral behavior is?

If so, it might explain your rather uncharitable view, toward those of differing views.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

You should think about how your own words apply to you.</description>

		<description>TUAD: I&#039;m not the one comparing a particular religious belief to the action of &quot;vampires&#039;&#039; and &quot;cannibals&#039;&#039;.


I think the issue is this. you believe that you possess the absolute Truth, with God completely on your side. Therefore, I think you feel justified in denouncing anyone, or anything, that does not comform to your conception of the &quot;Truth&#039;&#039;. 


This has also turned rather amusing. Are you the type of Christian, who believes, that the only criterion, for being saved, is belief, in Jesus Christ, and it doesn&#039;t matter what your moral behavior is?

		<description>TUAD: You made a statement, clearly comparing the Catholic belief in transubstantiation, to being either a cannibal or a vampire. What was your point? 

I think you&#039;ll say, as you&#039;ve said before, that you were pointing to an example, of where you don&#039;t interpret the Bible literally. Fine. Why not just say that you don&#039;t believe that that particular passage, should, in your view, be interpreted metaphorically? Why ADD the clearly offensive &quot;vampire&#039;&#039; and &quot;cannibal&#039;&#039; comparision? You have every right to disagree with the Catholic doctrine, obviously, but why would you deliberately try to offend?</description>

		<description>Came back here to find Bret Lythgoe ranting.

The fact that you&#039;re ranting speaks volumes.

Instead, answer the questions I posed to you earlier.</description>

		<description>Truth unites and divides: The evidence for evolution, is clear, and abundant. All of modern biology, rests on the neodarwinian evolutionary basis, because of the empirical evidence. Maybe I&#039;m wrong, but I get the impression that you don&#039;t really understand it.

So do you really believe that 99% of biologists are either deluded, or part of a conspiracy?</description>

		<description>Zack Skrip: his statement was meant to be offensive, surely the comparision to &quot;vampires&#039;&#039; and &quot;cannibals&#039;&#039; was not not an endorsement? 


It was meant to imply that the Catholic belief, that Christ is literally in the the wafers and wine, as equivalant to being a vampire, and/or cannibal. Why not word it differently. you don&#039;t give him enough credit: his intent, was to be offensive, and he succeeded.</description>
