Another famous far LW tactic: the bald faced lie.There is that false equivalency the right has become so famous for. You think all ideas are equal. No. Some are just shit, and expecting anyone to accept a shit idea just because there is another idea from a different source is stupid.
While many Americans don't like the far Right, you are continually giving reasons why they don't like the far Left.
You are trying to deny false equivalency? Get real. It's the basis for right wing nuts that think science classes should teach the world is 6000 years old and was made in 6 days as equal to all the geological and evolutionary information we have.
Dear BULLDOG I haven't found a lot of groups still teaching that.
Even the Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the "days" in the Bible represent PERIODS or "eras".
They are some of the most insistent that there needs to be one unified interpretation.
And they do not interpret the "days" to be LITERAL.
The 6,000 timeline represents 6 AGES, and is focused on the Hebrew/Mosaic LINEAGE.
The Bible mentions there are other "daughters of the earth" left out of this lineage.
So of course there are other tribes and history.
Who do you think the sons of Adam and Eve took as wives?
There were matriarchal and egalitarian/agricultural cultures, worshipping earth and nature,
before the Scriptural laws and lineage that the Bible covers.
If you are going to take one literal thing "out of context" and try to discredit whole groups,
would you agree to people taking Slavery out of historic content and discrediting
all of American history and govt because this practice used to be accepted as an institution?
Some people do that!
Are you going to throw out all science because people USED to teach the sun revolved around the earth or that there was a "brontosaurus" (that turned out to be the result of mixing up two other species).
What is wrong with people's perception EVOLVING and growing over generations to
broader understanding? Do you think that's going to happen instantly?
And there isn't a process that involves sharing knowledge and understanding
we have at one point in history before growing past that and adopting and adapting from there?
Would you have thrown out what the Greeks gave us in math
just because they didn't have a symbol for 0 and their system wasn't perfect and complete?
????
BULLDOG the day you can invent any system of philosophy, social science, religious symbols,
civil laws or govt that
"COME OUT PERFECT THE FIRST TIME THEY ARE WRITTEN"
Maybe I'll believe you have the right to complain and discredit other groups that have started such systems.
The American govt system was set up to handle change.
What is wrong with revising and amending as society grows to handle more diverse populations and process?
Creationism is not equal to other theories of how life began,and it shouldn't be taught in our schools. I don't have to develop my own system of philosophy, social science, religious symbols,
civil laws or govt that "COME OUT PERFECT THE FIRST TIME THEY ARE WRITTEN" to be able to say that., and it's funny that you would say I should.
