1. Sheople
Sheep+ People Asexual-cranium-in-rectum-propagation.
Unable to think freely, kin to a Zombie, brain dead. Possibly make a good politician
"Whatever the media expouses, the sheople accept."
sheep + people = sheeple (lambs blindly-follow brain dead )
2. sheople
People who are unable to think for themselves and simply follow the crowd.
"Rush Limbaugh fans are sheople."
Darwinian evoultion acts as a barrier to theism.
If God exists, I wonder if he is "happy" that there are so many people fighting over him...debating about him...trying to prove his existence...chastising others for not having blind obedience to him...defending him...marketing him..."selling" him...going door to door for him...judging non believers on behalf of him?
I wonder.
If God exists...this omniscient and omnipresent being who created the universe, which I'm open to the idea of, the above "behaviors" he will not require. The behaviors of mankind to "support and defend" theism have nothing to do with a god. It has more to do with mankind's obsession with self and competition. Believers often think they are doing the work of God when behaving in such ways, but why would an all knowing being that created the universe and its inhabitants require humans to trample over one another trying to teach non believers about his ...love?
If God exists, he is about Love. And he will manifest himself to ppl in a personal way. And if one follows God, and believes him to be about love, then the behaviors they exhibit to get others to follow him...should be an illustration of that. If God exists, he isn't a possession to hoard.
I've come to the conclusion that atheism gets a bad rap by theists because atheism has nothing to prove.
I sit in wonder. :/
You can go forth and do awesome things strictly by believing in the goodness of others. Theology isn't required.
Never know, will we.
I'm only trying to explain the meaning of the terminologies, and "Asexual-cranium-in-rectum-propagation. probably means "head up your arse or as the Americans say ass"What the "Asexual-cranium-in-rectum-propagation. " means beats me. Even though it could mean in Kiwi speak: "the useless buggers are Fucked in the head"
As said I was only trying to explain the terminology, don't get upset with me I wasn't using the term myself merely explaining it.If Christians are sheople, geeser and his type are geople!
I was thinking more of Geese - birds - bird brained - bird brained + people.I'm only trying to explain the meaning of the terminologies, and "Asexual-cranium-in-rectum-propagation. probably means "head up your arse or as the Americans say ass"
As said I was only trying to explain the terminology, don't get upset with me I wasn't using the term myself merely explaining it.
And what does geople mean. Being sarcastic does it mean Genius+people=Geople.
So they can be totally individual, and not tow the party line, if they are republican/democrat/liberal/conservative/theist/etc they can be a non-team player. Ok! But are you sure on that."Sheople", are not really anything - theist/atheist/republican/democrat/liberal/conservative - those things would require the "Critical Thinking" they fail to exercise!
@Jan Ardena
@ wynn
Have you noticed that Too many Americans weren't, aren't or ever will be true believers in anything?
"Sheople" let other "sheople" do their thinking and believing for them.
Evidently by not thinking or actually believing in anything, a "sheople" can never be wrong.
Ergo..."sheople" are always right...never make mistakes...and never have to commit or admit to...anything!

The argument for why theists cannot believe in evolution has yet to be made effectively. So far we only have people pretending that it's so obvious there's no need to explain.
Which is precisely why one cannot be a theist and believe in darwinian evolution.
jan.
The Pope and the Catholic Church have supported evolution openly for the past six decades. Are you saying the Pope cannot be a theist?
Does the Pope believe that God created by vocal command, exactly how it is explained in the BIble?
Jan.
Exactly I think your getting it.If a person is a true "individual" - they could not possibly fit my definition of a "sheople"!
Exactly. Therefore they would not be part of any group, would they. The very definition of individual, is. "a single human being as distinct from a group: a distinctive or original person. " So a person who is part of a group and one that follows the doctrines and tenets of said group is in no way being an individual, nor using "Critical Thinking" as they are following a group mentality.geeser, to be a true individual - would it not require, at the very least - that a person possess their very own, " Individual Critical Thinking"?
Maybe so, however sheople is not a term I use, I just gave a definition. but then DMOE stated the people who follow a group mentality are not sheople. whereas the converse is true. That's not to say they don't think for themselves in every other aspect of there lives. But using your critical thinking skills requires you use them in all aspects of you lives.Most people are not sheople. Most people think for themselves. The whole concept is just a way of insulting "everyone else", so that a few people can feel better.
Have you never taken the time to actually find out what the official position is with the Pope and the Church regarding evolution? Like I said, it's only been around for six decades. Seriously.
Popes tend to be well educated esp. of late. During the last century or so they would have understood that an utterance doesn't propagate without air, that it requires a vocal tract to transmit it, that it requires a living human to hear and understand the words, particularly a person fluent in Hebrew dialect. That being said, there has been a discussion going on for thousands of years as to whether some parts of Bible should be taken literally. They have been describing the use of metaphor and parable for a very long time.Jan Ardena said:Does the Pope believe that God created by vocal command, exactly how it is explained in the BIble?
In fact in the Beautiful Christian Song thread I even say The Lord asks me to rewrite Genesis, and it is definitely going to have Darwinism as part of it, unless Jan Ardena can tell us clearly why it shouldn't.The argument for why theists cannot believe in evolution has yet to be made effectively. So far we only have people pretending that it's so obvious there's no need to explain.
