A small town in Southwest Virginia filled with banks and restaraunts and high-class rednecks. People who live here think its cool to hang out at the bowling alley on weekends and walking around at the mall is usually a good time had by all. I am a red and you are, too.
I graduated from Christiansburg High School.

Get the Christiansburg mug.a lot of people have been hurt by Christians who are not following the message of Jesus. take, for example, Westboro Baptist church in Kansas that is saying "God hates gays."
FALSE! God Loves every single one of us! in the Holy Bible it says that God loves us so much he sent his only son(John 3:16), Jesus Christ, to die which he did while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). This point is what most Christians mis-convey, people don't need to be perfect to be saved because only one man could do that, but God loves us for who we are!
For those of you who still think God hates gays-- the Bible says that you will therefore be judged more harshly. (Matthew 7:1)
so, please dont let a couple of mislead Christians keep you from having a personal relationship with God

The famous Jewish philosopher Maimonides once said that if science conflicts with Scripture, then it must be Scripture we have misunderstood.
It's sad these words of wisdom died out so long ago
Since creationists are likely to disagree with the idea that modern science like evolution is sufficiently supported, I'll go ahead and quote the renowned biologist Douglas Futuyma,
"The statement that organisms have descended with modifications from common ancestors—the historical reality of evolution—is not a theory. It is a fact, as fully as the fact of the earth's revolution about the sun."
Theodosius Dobzhansky had this to say in his famous paper "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution",
"I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way."
He also wrote,
"Does the evolutionary doctrine clash with religious faith? It does not. It is a blunder to mistake the Holy Scriptures for elementary textbooks of astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology. Only if symbols are construed to mean what they are not intended to mean can there arise imaginary, insoluble conflicts. ...the blunder leads to blasphemy: the Creator is accused of systematic deceitfulness."

Liberal/progressive Christians do not believe in a deceiving God. They know that, considering the overwhelming amount of evidence for evolution, to deny it would be equivalent to denying the existence of ancient Rome or Greece.
