    The Christian baddies that will hold that against you won’t fuck you unless you marry them and you do not want to get involved in that. Good news though, if you go for it anyway, is that you only have to date them for 4-6 months before they’ll accept a proposal.

      The catholic church’s official position is divinely guided evolution. If you ever see a catholic denying evolution you can tell them that their position goes against official church doctrine.

      Mind you my catholic school “taught the controversy” with the biology teacher doing her damned best to pretend both sides were worthy of consideration, but that’s because the family that donated our building was denying official church doctrine.

      Some time ago I happened to get ik a conversation with a Jehovah’s Witness, finding out they didn’t believe in evolution was so surreal.
      I didn’t have a way to go against the arguments they put up at the time, about how it’s only a “theory”, which is a shame.

        They can’t understand that you have to at least meet science half way when there is so much undeniable evidence that is easily accessible. And as an all-or-nothing religion that is really hurting them. I grew up in it and the governing body are some of the most stubborn and out-of-touch people out there.

      Mike Johnson, the previous and likely current Speaker of the House, believes the Earth is 6000 years old. Yes, it’s exclusively the crazies that believe it, but there’s more of them than you’d hope.
