The worst about religious people is the total absence of curiosity and their unwillingness to look at different views. What says more about the person it self then about religion or science.

I can see why someone is religious, but I doubt a religious person can see or understand my view or take on life.
Not all people that believe in a Creator believe in a 6 - 10K year old earth. Or that macro-evolution never took place. If it's not mentioned specifically in Scripture, aren't these things open for interpretation? So you would be so quick to paint all of Christianity with such a broad brush? Things happen...Science advances..Technology improves...But if the Bible is not truly accurate, prove that it isn't. Challenge a pastor, and hold their feet to the fire. If they're serious about their position, when they don't know something they'll look into it. BE BRUTAL! At the very least, it might just help you to understand and respect the faith a little bit more.

Tell you what. Prove that Zeus (or any other god you choose) does not exist and I'll believe that your god does exist.

I guess I should qualify this statement. I do not know how you define the term proof but I rely on scientific method. So if you are going to say something along the lines of Zuse does not exist because your god says it is the only god ... then don't bother because I do not accept that standard of proof.

Ha ha! Good one!

No. I'm not doing anything. Not my problem. You need to do the work yourself. I'm not going to argue about this. I don't have the time. I suggest you step up to the plate and challenge somebody in a leadership role that seems knowledgeable of whatever you care about researching. If you're actually curious, which I doubt you are. Why don't you go ahead and attack them head on? At the very least, you might learn something.

Can't do it either? I have yet to find someone who could. And no I am not in the least bit curious. Prove to me that Zeus does not exist and then I will be curious.

I didn't say I could or could not. Did I? You're just trying to bait me. Have fun with that.

Bait you? Tad paranoid are we? I'm just asking a simple question. Answer it or don't I could care less. You are the one who argued that you had something to base your faith on and that all us atheists had was science or what you call "because it's there". So put your money where your mouth is. If you cannot prove that Zeus does not exist why on earth should I believe you when you say your god does exist? Because you say so? How is that any different from what you accuse us atheists of (other than the fact that there is scientific proof that science relies on)?
