No, it's still practiced to this day. If you say you're out, or if they kick you out for "wrongdoing/sinning" the shunning commences.

See: The Bible See also: Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Amish/Mennonites, etc. inb4"They're not true Christians/their interpretation of the text is wrong"

And of course you're aware that many Christian sects today practice shunning? And that this can be incredibly damaging to a person? I mean yeah Christians don't kill heretics like back in the day, but they will raise a child in a community, make it all the child ever knows, THEN....if the child...

Oh you mean the scientific method. Yeah that's worked out pretty great for us since it's inception. Who likes penicillin?

We used to be carrots man. CARROTS! If that isn't cool I don't know what is. We've come a long way baby. What's cool is within that genetic code you can actually see when we broke off and became a different species, because you see SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME DIFFERENT. Our genome is 98% the...

Guesses can be tested and proved or disproved. Fairy tales can't.

It's not predicated on it at all? Getting from the first cell to a human is pretty well documented, once they started breaking down the genome and that we have genetic similarities with carrots from where we broke off from them millions of years ago all the magic pretty much went out the window.

That's the problem with using second and thirdhand accounts of what some liberal hippy fag said 2,000 years ago to live your life by. You can never be completely sure what they meant.

And it never will, because evolution will never deal with origins, bro. It doesn't care where the first organisms came from. We know they existed, and we know how life got from that point to it's current state. How the first organisms and the universe came into existence is an entirely separate...

Evolution doesn't address origin at all. You should study up on it.

ok dude. whatever.

I believe like Sagan did;

The funny thing is that you don't realize that progressive Muslims have the same bullshit apologetics that Christians have for their Holy Books more distasteful passages. Both sets of apologetics are equally stupid, and don't deal with the base issue that you are dealing with a book that was...

I guess context is too much to ask someone who still believes in magic sky fairies to comprehend?

I think the problem is that anyone thinks second and third hand contradictory accounts of what some dude said 2,000 years ago should have any bearing whatsoever on our society. Following that sort of outdated garbage is what marginalizes women, strips people of rights for being different and...

Maybe if you had read what I was responding to you wouldn't have shot your mouth off pointlessly? I don't know, a gal can hope.

holy fucknozzle batman read the stupid thread before you post your retarded retorts. I guess it would be too much to expect you to understand what you're replying to before you replied?

Religion has a bloody and reprehensible history. Good luck turning your nose up at other religions, like they're the bloodthirsty ones. The only thing that stops religion from being bloodthristy is when it gets marginalized, like Christianity today - where most people could give a fuck, they're...

in terms of history, yeah, a few years ago Christians were running crusades and burning witches and basically imposing idiotic bible/sharia law anywhere they could manage.
