That hasn't been my experience. I think most of them are aware that not all believers in Christianity and Judaism reject evolution, but at the same time I would expect that if they had any accurate knowledge of the Bible they would recognize it isn't in accord with Darwinian evolution so the assumption would be a logical one.

@AkioTsukino I’m guessing my point on analogies was lost on you. So please tell me more of what I believe.

@AkioTsukino I'm not trying to tell you what you believe, I wouldn't presume to do that. I'm just pointing out what I have observed by posting in forums like this for 30 years.
@AkioTsukino that’s fair. and honestly in forums like this you probably end up speaking mostly to the way more literal and fire and brimstone type. I’ve actually studied most of the texts in their original language and many of the more problematic scriptures rarely mean what fundamentalists think it does, either because of mistranslation (either on accident because the languages don’t line up or grammar differences… or sometimes on purpose for political reasons by the king commissioning it,) misunderstanding, or even outright misinterpretation for biased reasons.
@Zenbra I watched this a while back. It literally changed the way I engage people here. It’s a little long 15 minutes but well worth the watch. I wish everyone would. She’s so amazing.

We don’t. However, if you take a look at the “spiritual” section you will see a couple of believers spreading a shitload of misinformation on the the subject. All in the name of god , of course.
That is the kind of believer that needs some schooling, literally and figuratively.

@DocSavage yeah, but I can point to idiot atheists. I don’t make you all own that shit. lol

Because the two positions are essentially antithetical. Question their motives ad convictions. I'd most likely trust that person less in matters of consequence than either of the other two.
