What if jim_darwinism became the first a-theocracy.  What would be your role.?

I will be the temple's scarlet woman. Big sacrifice I know but I do it in the name of my faith and for the love of my fellow jim_darwinites.\n\n@ weemaryanne.... Yes of course, but you do understand that as my understudy it will be me who gets first pick of those needing initiation. Don't worry I'll save you a few good ones.

Hmm, I think christians would.  They'd have zealotry on their side.  They could whip everyone into a holy frenzy of righteousness.  (Plus, there are a LOT of them).  They'd be like The Hoarde.\n\nAtheists and agnostics wouldn't be well organized.  We'd try to reason a way around things.  Try to work out a compromise.  Form a committee to study the scientific reasons why the christians were so hacked off at us.

Who told you God was the first to make laws for humans?  Who is this God you are referring to?  Sodom and gomorrah is passe, now it is called anarchism.

A god-fearing fundamentalist named Charles Darwin first theorized on evolution. Here's what he wrote (see ref.):\n....During these two years (March 1837 - January 1839) I was led to think much about religion. Whilst on board the Beagle I was quite orthodox, and I remember being heartily laughed at by several officers (though themselves orthodox) for quoting the Bible as an unanswerable authority on some point of morality. I suppose it was the novelty of the argument that amused them. But I had gradually come by this time (i.e. 1836 to 1839) to see the Old Testament, from its manifestly false history of the world, with the Tower of Babel, the rain-bow as a sign, &c., &c., and from its attributing to God the feelings of a revengeful tyrant, was no more to be trusted than....the beliefs of any barbarian....\n  ....Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted for a single second that my conclusion was correct. I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so, the plain language of the text seems to show that the men who do not believe, and this would include my Father, Brother, and almost all my best friends, will be everlastingly punished.\n  And this is a damnable doctrine....\n\nSomehow I suspect he was less "ineduacted" than the questioner...

Spock please don't be angry at me.i don't understand your question fully.can you please go into a little more detail how Christians reading Genesis proves Jim Darwinism right.i did some homework and typed Jim Darwin in my web browser and can't find one article on him.the only place he is listed is on yahoo groups.i expected to find Jim's teachings or his book but after countless searches i can't find anything on him.my conclusion is Jim Darwinism is a fun group where people can get to together and make up a funny religion.i guess this is his fantasy.though i don't understand why he would get hate mail.as a believer,I'm taught not to judge other people unless i be judged myself.i can't imagine Jim Darwinism ever becoming a legitimate religion because no-man can declare he is a God.for if you have a man who calls himself a God,this is not religion but a cult.we have seen to many cults where the "God" sucked money out of people and led them to suicide.Waco comes to mind.not to mention Christian rev. who exploit the tithe to their advantage.i loved reading his made up saint and creation theories.it was so funny!we still need evolution taught side by side with intelligent design because atheist's don't believe in God.\n                   God Bless

I'd ask him who was right about this religion thing. He'd probably say we were all wrong, but I'd still want to know, just in case. lol

Let's just start over with a brand new religion called, "The Human Race".  The qualifications are...\n\n{drum roll please}\n\nYou have to be human!\n\nNow everybody go and be happy!

Probably none.  Many were agnostics (as well as atheists).  That is why they (tried) to establish a gov't free from religion, so the two could operate seperately and without one poisoning the other.  A two-way safety net.

First you would have to find an evolutionist, whatever that is. And second you need to prove the existance of some alleged temporal hell.

He would most certainly distance himself fom the politics of that country and have other 'Arahants' take on that role. His only interest would be for the teaching for enlightenment and salvation of the people. It would be such an advanced society, spiritually, that the type of politics would have advanced beyond what we can really understand. There may even be little use for a government at all. Or a leader.

If I "had to be religious" then it would be a dictatorship.  I would start a guerilla war, not join yours or anyone else's cult.\n\n\n.

I would say in America today he would be classified as a modern day "Pharaoh"!.....and to answer your second question: Charismatic or any Religion Connected With GOD...No!....jim darwin did confess to being a atheist so that leaves him out of any spiritual connection with GOD & His servants!.....Must be Born Again-Spiritually, (John 3:1-8)....(Acts 4:12)......ps.You mentioned "throwing panties".....did you actually mean that literally?....If you did, True Believers wouldn't do filthy things to offend the God they love & serve!....

(tsk, tsk..Linda...) Ahem, compared to people today, pretty much the majority of the founders of this great country, and its greatest universities (all the Ivy League schools started out as Schools of Divinity...more or less), were hard-core christians...so you could could end up founding a great country, and perhaps a great university...Your path of destruction will only provide you with your current level of amusement for a short time longer...and...if you summon demons, fallen angels, then you should be aware that there is a higher being that created them...and I guarantee you there is one... you just need to think things through a little bit more is all....maybe you'll get lucky and life will show you some lessons....life is much too comfortable today...people begin to lack reasons to call on God...but I think that's due for a change...

I'm an atheist but I think a Christian theocracy would be less scary.

im all about that first amendment,\n\nbut get their god(s) out of the science classroom please,\nthank you\n\nand this idea of theocracy is insane, no gay marriage cause of "gods law", this is bunk,\n\nabortion - an atheist can find abortion immorral and ask his govt to make it illegal and is not imposing his religion, \n\nbut to say we want gods laws to be the laws of america, and thus we want gay marriage wrong,\nthis im anti-

I agree with you on this one. I too fear that civilization might regress to a point of a Theocracy and tyranny. I see the Dark Ages as the worst time in humanity. Not because of the massive amount of death and suffering, though that did happen, but because of the lack of scientific progress and development of society. \n\nThat being said I saw your site and I fear that while I agree with there ideas I disagree with their approach. From what I saw it seemed to be that it was a Atheistic/agnostic organization that was fighting against religious theists. I am afraid that mentality will cause more conflict and ill will instead of addressing the problems. Rather such organizations should reach out to like minded theists that also want a secular society that way not only do you have a broader base but you can say that you represent both sides and are working for the common good of all.

Wow, that'd be the day. I might like to see Ron Reagan as president. However, as a bright young atheist, even his considerable political legacy could not overcome his non-belief. \n\nI'm not too keen on this idea, though. Saying only X can do Y sets a dangerous precedent.\n\nIdeally, I'd like to see the people of this country, and the world, put their myths aside and embrace reason. If this happened on a large enough scale, I think we might see a world full of things like peace and tolerance.
