The HCRA

[Henry Hawk]

Two central tenets of the creationists state the the literal story of the creation in Genesis is without fault and that evolution is a false science.

Are you a creationist?

We are not talking about me right now, we are talking about Obama and Huckabee.

[Bo D]

We are not talking about me right now, we are talking about Obama and Huckabee.

Ah ha! So ... when the conversation takes a turn which shows you have no idea what you are talking about, you refuse to answer a logical question which has relevance to the turn of the discussion.

You quoted Hucklebee.

Locutus opined that he is dumb as dirt because he is a creationist.

You tried to equate Christianity with creationism by invoking an Obama quote.

Locutus and I tried to ascertain whether you claim to be a creationist, ergo - dumber than dirt like Hucklebee. 

At least, we know the difference between Christianity and creationism.

[Henry Hawk]

Obama claims both.  Christian AND Creationism.

So does Huck

Locutus thinks Huck is dumb as dirt based upon that perception.

Therefore,
He MUST believe that Obama TOO is dumb as dirt. Correct?


besides, I am waiting for L, answer.......he must be digging hard, because he has been at it for a while now...

No. Not correct. Obama does NOT claim Creationism.

This is YOUR quote .....

"What I've said to them is that I believe that God created the universe and that the six days in the Bible may not be six days as we understand it ... it may not be 24-hour days, [ Creationists believe in a LITERAL six day creation] and that's what I believe. I know there's always a debate between those who read the Bible literally and those who don't, and I think it's a legitimate debate within the Christian community of which I'm a part. My belief is that the story that the Bible tells about God creating this magnificent Earth on which we live—that is essentially true, that is fundamentally true. Now, whether it happened exactly as we might understand it reading the text of the Bible: That, I don't presume to know." [Creationists believe that the story of Genesis is the only possible story of creation ... that evolution is heresy.]

You forgot to underline the whole sentence so I'll do it for you. 

[Henry Hawk]

So, let me get this straight.........Huck is dumb as dirt because he believes in the Bible.   But Obama is NOT because he don't have the guts to say he believes in the Bible...but he DOES believe in God and the God created the earth and universe.

I'm not trying to get legalistic here Bo on Creationism.......just to the point that Locutus was making about being dumb as dirt.

Not going to argue about the technicalities of creationism.

Gosh, two examples of redirecting the subject to someones character rather than the issue at hand in one day.  What does Huck's character have to do with the HCRA or what I posted anyway? NOTHING, topic redirect because ya'll don't want to face the truth is all. 

[Bo D]

But "the technicalities of creationism" is the very basis of Hucklebee's stupidity. Believing in the Bible does not necessarily make one stupid. But I would venture to guess that a great number of Christians DO accept the theory of evolution.

Go back to your beer and Slim Jims if you can't keep up. We don't question his character. We just said he is dumber than dirt. I'm sure you can relate to that.

Don't care to keep up with ya'lls redirection but now if you want to get back to what I posted about the HCRA, which Huck's IQ has nothing to do with, ya got a deal.

You got a beef with the discussion about Hucklebee then take it up with Hank. He's the one who brought him into this discussion.

From Mike Huckabee...

A businessman in Texas just sold three pizza parlors.  So how does that affect you?  Brace yourself...  The story next...Back in 2010, Bob Westbrook owned three Cici's Pizza parlors.   While the people who wrote and passed Obamacare couldn't be bothered to read it, Bob didn't have that luxury.  He was president of the Texas Restaurant Association, so it was his job to find out what was in Obamacare. 

What he found was that he'd be forced to buy his 96 fulltime workers heath coverage, which would bankrupt him -- or pay a fine $78,000 bigger than all three restaurants' profits combined. 

So he did the only logical thing: he gave up and sold his businesses.  My guess is that those 96 fulltime jobs will soon become 200 part time jobs.


Hey, that's more than double the job creation, right?  So how does this affect you?  Multiply Bob's story by every medium-sized business in America.  And now you know why Obama is so anxious to put off Obamacare until after the election.
  Because it slices up American jobs like a pizza. 

Here is what I posted about Huck, which IS about HCRA.  Locutus said he was dumb as dirt..and blah, blah, blah...here we are.

I asked why he thought that and he said ....actually, I don't even care anymore.............I'm ready for a long weekend.

See ya!

Ya know. It's kinda like those global warming 'experts' you guys like to quote who turn out to be veterinarians. We just like to consider the source and in this case the source about the HCRA, Huckabee, is dumber than dirt.

You have a good, long weekend.

[Locutus]

Obama claims both.  Christian AND Creationism.

So does Huck

Negative again.  I've just had a busier than normal afternoon.

Although in my absence, Bo D did a heck of a job pretty much explaining the difference.  Creationism generally means a literal interpretation of the Genesis story.   From all accounts, that appears to be what Huckabee believes given that he is a Southern Baptist pastor and all. 

From Wikipedia:

Teaching of evolution

"Huckabee has voiced his support of intelligent design and he has stated that he does not accept the validity of Darwin's theory of evolution. He was quoted in July 2004 on Arkansans Ask, his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: "I think that students also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution but to the basis of those who believe in creationism." Huckabee has also stated, "I do not necessarily buy into the traditional Darwinian theory, personally."[61][62][63][64]

[Locutus]

As I said, dumb as dirt. 

Go back and read it again HH.  I said that Christian <> Creationist back when you started us down this road.  I said Huckabee is dumb as dirt because of his positions as cited above.  Not because he's a Christian.
