The bible is actually extrememly funny because it rips on religious people. Religion existed before Jesus and allot of the new testement is dedicated to trying to get people to get out of them. I would never have believed it unless I read it myself. The sermon on the mount is basically a bag tag to every religious hypocrite on the planet and they actually use it to confirm themselves.

There are extremist in ALL groups--Christianity, Islam, Humanism, Atheism--that does not mean they are right or that the entire group is wrong. I happen to think the concepts of evolution and the big bang theory are hilarious, but, I respect peoples rights to believe in what they want and I hope they give me the same consideration in my beliefs.
By "Hilarious"I mean I can't believe people who could believe in Big Bang an evolution could look at us creationists and call our belief simple minded and uneducated. It takes faith for all things--even belief in Big Bang and evolution. So, please do not lump fanatics with Christians. I have friends who believe in evolution and they respect me and I respect them. So, instead of bashing a faith, keep it to yourself.
