So, were ancient cats really rat-like animals?

*cries horribly*

I had JUST posted likes explaining these little cretures... Not.. a week ago... >.< IIt was demanded of me.. and no one paid it any mind... WHY??

*bangs her head on a sharp corner* WHY do you people do this to me??

Did you say something?

Just kidding, somes times I just can not help myself.

Actually my cat (MOW, yes his name is MOW) and I send you love.

Its like in the first grade, learn by repeating .

Except, unlike school... people don't learn after they ask for proof...

say it often enough an it becomes the truth! (any advertising agency can tell you that )

O sorry...

tcha Saucy... you have nothing relivant to add to this thread.. then why bother?

Its like an Atheist posting in a Christian forum...

Maybe cats did evolve from rat-like creatures...but its not my place to believe in that, and so I won't.

"not my place"? interesting wording. what exactly do you mean by that?

I'm not atheist and I didn't know this whole forum was for christians... Here all this time I thought this was for all religions and beliefs. Funny how that works.

Not your place only if you don't allow it hon. If you don't want to allow it, then fine. Atleast you don't insist to those who do that's it's not. I thank you for that.

And yes, Krotos... last I knew.. this was a forums for all faiths.

It is for all faiths, and skepticism of it. One big happy explosion....or 'Big Bang' lol j/k

And yeah, you are right Hyperactive, I learnt a vey long time ago, promotion is everything. Like Britney Spears (or anyone popsicle...do like some of her songs though, it's got to me ) being able to actually sing without mountains of studio help, spoon feed it enough, and people believe it. No matter what it is.

As for cats coming from rats...uh....interesting turn of evolutionary events....cat comes from rat, cat later eats rat...hmmm I'm not seeing the resmblance between a lion and a lab rat...but anyway.

Wow, I didn't expect to create such a controversy.

In my place, the position I hold and the beliefs I concur with, do not expect me to believe that cats evolved from rat-like creatures. I am a Christian, I believe in creationism(but don't expect all Christians to believe in creationsim, some believ ein evolution). In my standings in the whole belief system, I hold my place to believe in what I want to.

I'm sorry if you misunderstood me. I was giving an example. I did not, in any way mean to proclaim this forum a Christian forum. This forum is very well welcome to all Atheists, Christians, other religous folk and anyone alike.

I should be thanking you for your kind words . But that doesn't mean I will refuse to learn of other beliefs, I just merely choose to believe in something else.

Kratos, you have to learn how the Christian mind works, if you say anything that they remotely preceive as against their beliefs, "POOF" you are an Evil Christ Hating Atheist, no matter what your personal beliefs are! I have even seen them accuse other Christians of being Atheists when they didn't agree with the mainstream dogma!

Not all minds are alike, mako.

i too have witnessed this phenomenon.

religion breeds the binary brain: you are either one of us, or the enemy; Muslem or infidel; christian or athiest;.... if it wasn't so sad, it would be funny

Like I said, not everyone is alike. Some Christians have Muslim wives. Some Pagens have Athiest husbands. Many people don't see other peoples beliefs as what you call, an 'enemy'.

true. i am not saying everyone is like that. however, the vocal ones sure are! As usual, it is the vocal and motivated minority that paint the picture of the majority.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. So, I brought you bananas!

loge, is darwinism your new religion? /sarcasm

nobody with their senses intact would worship darwin, or darwinism. The same can be said of any man or idea put forth by a man. Too bad that simple reasoning is abandoned as soon as the man is perported to be a messenger of a higher being.

I am a god eater and I am hungery, so make me up a new one!

Sorry for the misunderstanding...always happens . But I do agree that the minority, however possible it could be the majority that sets the reputation to their beliefs are the ones who speak to much...thats a good point .

This is your new God that eventually will swallow you!

nah... i defeated that beast years ago!
