As a Christian I have no problem with evolution or even UFO's.

[Swede]

Christ was probably one of the first "flip-floppers". As you get new info,you have to learn from that info. If you really believe in God,then he created that too.

1. Me either...

it's pretty arrogant to think that ours is definitely the only inhabited planet in the universe. God is God...she can do it any way she likes...including evolution.

2. same here Elton John Rules.

rateyes tjank you for the nice thing you said about me on the lbn thread. I am feeling alittle better now.

7. Don't know what to say...

"you're welcome" sounds a little arrogant on my part. But, your "thank you" helped me out, too.

[DanCa]

You are a Hillary Rodham Clinton Christian (a.k.a. "Left-Leaning Traditionalist") although to be honest I didn't think much of this particular quiz.

There are other spiritual quizzes around if you are interested in them: http://timeforachange.bluelemur.com/liberalchristians.htm#quizzes

6. So where do you stand on Elton?

Cmon I dare you to listen to the first few bars of Goodbye yellow brick road and tell me that theres no divine influence going on there :)

[rateyes]

8. Elton is one of my favorites...

I love that song. "So goodbye yellow brick road, where the dogs of society howl. You can't plant me in your penthouse. I'm going back to my plough. Back to the howling old owl in the woods, hunting the horny back toad. Oh, I've finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow-brick road."

Was that Taupin's lyrics? Funny, on that same album "Honky Cat" expresses almost the opposite sentiment.

[DanCa]

10. Honky Cat

wasn't honky cat an anti conservative song though? Or am I looking at it from today's perspective instead of when it was written? On a side note I picked up a captain fantastic cd at borders, looking forward to playing it after Galactica replay.

[rateyes]

12. I don't know...

maybe you're right. I just remember from "way back when" the lyrics sound to me like everybody is telling him to "get back to the woods" and his reply is "I quit those days and my redneck ways--(which, I guess is the anti-conservative part--haha)" "Like trying to get whiskey from a bottle of wine."

God, I love Elton John's music.

[rateyes]

13. Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy...

hadn't thought of that album in years. Man, it's been good strolling down memory lane tonight!

[DanCa]

14. Aint it?

I wanted to buy the tumble weed collection but my funds are running low. PM me any time if you want to talk about this any time. Danny.

[rateyes]

15. Will do! Thanks. eom

16. I'm not a wild Elton fan, but since I am a wild Marilyn fan I think

he was wonderful to write "Good-bye, Norma Jeane" for her. :)

[Rex]

11. If we can agree that God is the Universe

then I can go along with all that too.

[Swamp Rat]

17. They are no longer "UFOs." I have identified them:

IGORs = Inter-Galactic Oil Rigs. THEY have come for our oil. :yoiks:

:D
