...about people you don't even know.

I pity those children. The will have no way to handle the real world when they grow up.

I have been taught the Word (the Bible) and it's contents as Truth, and those are my convictions to this day. I am only 15, and I fully understand the evolutionary and Creationist standpoints, I have completed AP Bio at my high school, and plan on taking Biology at UCSD next year (my junior year in high school). All this to say that you guys only affirm my faith in God, and I am not crippled or unprepared in any way. In fact, by knowing the Word of God, I have been exhorted to learn as much as I can about as much as I can.

So please keep your hurtful comments to yourself if you have any interest in preserving your personal integrity and image.

Why do Christians always have to capitalize the 't' in truth? Is that supposed to dazzle us or something?

Oh, did you say The Truth? My apologies, I can't argue against such upper-case power...

Congratulations! UCSD is a great school. What are you planning to study in college, biology?

freebeliever...had you read the entire thread you would see Talon was referring to children who were being homeschooled, not taught evolutionary theory, and not allowed to interact with people of other faiths. I also made disparaging remarks about this type of upbringing...care to take me to task as well?

To use a Christian phrase...you took it out of context

Hmm, talk of this thing called "Truth" and the post in general just reaks of preaching, therefore, it shall be delivered to the Preaching Room. Oh, and if you wanted to talk to Talon you could've just said what you want in that thread rather than start a new one, ya know.
