Lol, seriously. So you believe in evolution but also believe humanity had first parents? That doesn’t make sense.
Just 14% of Americans have received the updated covid vaccine.

Curiosity question for you (or anybody who says they had Covid with only mild symptoms)….if you only had mild symptoms, why did you get tested to see if you had Covid? I guess what I’m asking/saying… over the past couple years, I’ve had what i would consider/characterize as a simple cold…somewhat congested/mild cough…a couple times, but I never got tested for Covid. Rather, I just got over the “cold” symptoms in a few days…like I have my entire life.
The story of Adam and Eve could be a metaphor.
Think of the Bible as a library. It's not all literal.
Jesus taught in parables. He used farming metaphors to address his audience in a way they would understand.
He said humanity would get split up like sheep and goats at the final judgment.
He didn't literally mean humans were animals.
Yes, I asked him. I’m 59 and in very good health, therefore he did not recommend the Covid shot for me.
You're old, sir.
No offense. Lots of older adults are catching the dead. Don't let that be you.
So you were vaccinated four times against a disease and you still got it...and it held on for a year.
Yeah.
The point of the covid vaccines is to prevent severe illness and death, not infection.
COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign Saved 2.4 Million Lives
The campaign could have saved about 670,000 more lives had the vaccines been distributed equitably, according to a working paper from the USC Schaeffer Center and Brown University.

So don’t take the Bible literally, but live your life by its non literal teachings. That makes perfect sense.The story of Adam and Eve could be a metaphor.

I exercise regularly, eat healthy, and get plenty of sleep. I’m good, but you do you. 😉
C'mon man, the idea that a vaccine is intended to inoculate you against getting a disease is sooo yesterday.
So don’t take the Bible literally, but live your life by its non literal teachings. That makes perfect sense.
Right.
The Catholic Church compiled the Bible. We don't take it all literally. The Magesterium interprets it.
When someday, some time the Orange shit is finally be dead we won't to listen to his demonizing and abuses we will still have to put up with mindless MAGA types. Plenty of maggot trails will be left before the rotten corpse is dropped by the vultures.
Your distorted version of reality is something to behold.
It's all real.
Trillions of years of bliss, that's my hope..
That was a SP gif about Mormons, funny how you couldn’t tell the difference. How do you feel about Jehovah’s Witnesses?
I could barely read the book title but thought so.
Jehovah's Witnesses are crazier than Mormons...and that's saying something.
The smiling weirdo at the door should have given it away. I’ll let it slide though, because it is really hard to tell the religious weirdo’s apart.I could barely read the book title but thought so.

Well, you can see secret Mormon ceremonies on YouTube. It's nuts. I live near the Mormon Temple in D.C. and have been in their visitor area.
Both Mormons (Latter Day Saints) and Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in the Trinity so they aren't Christian.
Jehovas Witnesses believe Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel.
There are some weirdo’s out there that believe a virgin gave birth. Not only that, but she birthed some sky wizard’s baby. Now that’s nuts!!!
Your boy Joseph Smith had 40 wives and was arrested 40 times for crimes like bank fraud.
Some of his wives were 14 years old.
Not my boy. I have no religious affiliation. I think you are all nuts. That’s why I’m confused that you believe in science but also believe in god. Like I said before it seems like a conflict on interests. I’m going to bed, sleep well my friend. We can continue this in the morning if you wish, though neither of us will budge in our beliefs.
Atheists don't have a monopoly on science! That's a myth pushed by your side.
.
Science is good at what science does which is observing and studying the natural world. It can't define what other things are like love or justice.
The greatest scientist of all time believed in God as did many others.
Sir Isaac Newton.
Isaac Newton's life was one long search for God
From physics and alchemy to theology and eschatology, Isaac Newton’s research was rooted in a personal pursuit of the Divine.

I minored in biology in college. Three of my professors were pretty religious; regular church-goers anyway. One of my professors spent about half a lecture discussing evolution and the teachings of the Bible and how he reconciled the two. It was really interesting and quite enlightening.
