So many brainfarts it smells.
And here's another. I think you got the wrong thread dude.
the god of a creationism/evolution hybrid is still a god of the gaps.

Hmmm all Im going to say is: creationism doesnt rule out evolution and evolution doesnt rule out creationism. Ever thought about the possibility of both? Ever thought of the possibility of the bible being a fairy tale but god real? Ever thought of Jesus being real but god not?
You guys all think in boxes more than you think. Kinda disapointing for people who think theyre open minded sceptics because all i see is scepticism. Especially on any thread about religion. So many brainfarts it smells.
Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'"'?

We should all be upset with Hollywood. Not because of this article, but the fact that it's a haven for pedophile predators. We should be mad that many "stars" openly support convicted pedophiles, often rallying on their behalf. There is so much abuse going on in the inner circles of Hollywood. Just like there is within the inner circles of powerful politicians.

See, the thing is that many Christians don't follow the teachings of Christ. It's been noted.
Gandhi:
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

The one place some don't mind following though is up on that ole cross. And really, that Martyr Syndrome is getting old.
Satanic ritual abuse (SRA, sometimes known as ritual abuse, ritualistic abuse, organised abuse, sadistic ritual abuse and other variants) was a moral panic that originated in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout the country and eventually to many parts of the world, before subsiding in the late 1990s. Allegations of SRA involved reports of physical and sexual abuse of people in the context of occult or Satanic rituals. In its most extreme form, SRA involved a supposed worldwide conspiracy involving the wealthy and powerful of the world elite in which children were abducted or bred for sacrifices, pornography and prostitution.
Official investigations produced no evidence of widespread conspiracies or of the slaughter of thousands; only a small number of verified crimes have even remote similarities to tales of SRA. In the latter half of the 1990s interest in SRA declined and skepticism became the default position, with only a minority of researchers giving any credence to the existence of SRA.
Lecturing recently, I mentioned the American witch-hunts of the 1980s and 1990s. When the audience looked puzzled, I explained that I was referring to the Satanic Panic of those years, the wave of false charges concerning ritual child abuse and devil cults that made regular headlines in the decade after 1984. The explanation helped little.
Even people who had lived through those years, who had been following the media closely, had precisely no recollection. Lost in memory it may be, but the Satanic Panic needs to be remembered, if only to prevent a renewed outbreak of this horrible farrago. And when better than in the 30th anniversary of the affair's beginning?

Or did you mean Gandhi was more Christ-like than most Christians?
During his period as a law student in London, he joined the Theosophical Society and may have been recruited by MI-6. Ghandi was assassinated because he was an Illuminati agent who had betrayed the Hindu cause. As a Freemason employed by MI6, Gandhi's main role was to partition India in order to set it up for future conflict.
Was Mahatma Gandhi an Illuminati Pawn?

No evidence exists of a secret network of ritual abuse, Satanic or otherwise.
Another example of the use of lies and out-dated data/information connected to Ritual Abuse is associated with the so-called FBI Special Agent Kenneth V. Lanning and his “investigation” about Ritual Abuse. Kenneth V. Lanning has been shown to be liar and spinner, just like his report about Ritual Abuse, in light of very updated, accurate, and proven information and reports that overwhelmingly support the reality of Ritual Abuse.
Evidence that was available to Lanning during the writing of his report was left out by Lanning, who failed to state the evidence within his lying “expert” account. The hard fact is that Lanning’s report is a lie and the updated facts about his disinformation about Ritual Abuse NEVER made it to the general population for the same reasons stated above; these spinners don’t want the masses to know the truth in order to use it as a ruse to abuse Ritual Abuse victims/survivors into silence, shame, and isolation.
Special Agent Kenneth V. Lanning
You shouldn't be surprised to know that FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kenneth V. Lanning, of the Behavioral Science Unit of the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime, denies the existence of satanic ritual abuse in his 1992 Investigator's Guide to Allegations of Ritual Child Abuse. Lanning's intellectual posturing and specious reasoning should be studied as a prime example of serpentine logic. His semantics are brilliant, as he claims that "the words 'satanic', 'occult' and 'ritual' are often used interchangeably" and "it is difficult to define Satanism precisely". Then he frames the discussion of Satanism in non-judgmental terms, that "it is important to realize that for some people any religious belief system other than their own is satanic".
Then he dismisses satanic ritual abuse as a simple psychological problem: "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder". Of course, if he had taken the time to interview true believers, he would know that it's an actual belief system based on the ritual performance of torture and murder in loyalty to Satan and as an exchange for future rewards from the forces of darkness. Lanning's denial, ignoring the evidence of mind-control atrocities and ritual abuse, is astonishing. Is Lanning a crypto-Satanist? He's publicly denied it, but he didn't have to bother. His "freedom of religion" is protected by the US Constitution.
