little while ago so the word primitive doesn't apply I'd say, so what do
we call those that believe in that, arrogant, supercilious, there should
be something since primitive doesn't really apply?

Isn't there a story about Mars and Aphrodite being caught in flagrante?
That seems like it would fit.
And it's Mars and Venus (roman) or Ares and Aphrodite (greek), by the way.
Just splitting hair to cover my stupidity for the time being.

Originally posted by stockenThe normal Big Bang idea does not involve deities. However if you add Ares and Aphrodite, and imply something else when you say "Big Bang..."

Have you got anything to say about mythology or are you just making another lame Christian-bashing post?

1. There is such a thing as "original Christian doctrine".
2. There was such a thing as the Bible before it got infiltrated and corrupted.
How do you know what those original doctrines and original Bible are? How do you know that they too aren't corruptions of earlier doctrines and Bibles?
