Not all people Christians accuse of being 'New Agers' are for the current trends and changes either though. There are plenty of pagans for instance that reject the 'new age' crap and would sooner support Christian ideals rather than the liberal loony new-age brigade.
Trouble is, the Christians are xenophobic about anything which goes against their book, and they've made a rod for their own back by being so arrogant about being the 'one true path to salvation'.

If Bonobos are more evolved then why are there still chimps? There must be millions of years between the large chimp brain and the small bonobo brain. If there are big brained chimps, there must be big brained humans still alive as compared to todays brain size, since according to evolution, humans came from the monkeys, and both of the monkey brain size examples are still here today. So where are the big brained dumb human examples?
This is f'n comical.
Humans didn't come from apes (I don't think you meant to say "monkey"), however, we do share a common ancestor.
To your question; who is to say that larger brained humans don't still exist? I never said they didn't. I merely pointed out the trend that the human brain is shrinking as we evolve. It's the same as not everyone having wisdom teeth these days. Thirty-six percent of the population still grow wisdom teeth, while the rest of the population does not. Does this mean that those who don't grow wisdom teeth are more evolved? Yes, actually it does. Does it mean they're better? No.
It still doesn't negate the fact that evolution is happening within homo sapiens.

The definition of 'evolve' is very simply the same as the definition for 'adapt'.
Those who are incapable of adapting, historically die, without any help or need for anyone to go stomping about with an evil plan to eliminate them.
Those who don't adapt pretty much basically kill their own selves off. It's suicide by natural selection.
If the water gets too high, and you don't adapt to swim, well, it's not the water's fault. The water has no evil sinister plan. If you don't swim, you die. You fail to adapt. It's essentially suicide.
Those who don't 'evolve' kill their own selves off without any help from anyone else.

there is no room for growth beyond the primordial us if to do so we must plunge ourselves deep into the animal within us while never accepting him.
forward progress is only relatively so compared to where you stand. In truth progress along a linear concept of ascension "from" our current state to a "higher" plain or level of existence as preached by new agers is essentially flawed.
How are we to go beyond ourselves if we don't even understand ourselves now? How are we to be born anew if we must succumb to all that has held us back in the past and never surrender to anything in the process?
So, what am I to infer from your comments regarding the typical New Age Religion beliefs which I referenced about killing off all of us who won't evolve? Your ideas are worth discussing, but that is not what this thread is about. I feel like 99% of the comments have nothing to do with this OP.
How do these who support world socialism and an idea of unity in evolving spirituality under their tutelage who openly worship Lucifer in their writings and are embraced by the NWO system (United Nations) which has embraced Theosophy and has an office / department with the Lucifer Trust which was created by Blavatsky's group get away with this idea of killing off all unbending Christians, Muslims, and Jews? They damn the Christian history of abuse rightly so, and yet think they can get away with the idea of killing off those who don't follow their path?

I always wondered why christians join the army/military ..... killing anyone is unforgivable in their lord's eyes - a one way ticket to hell .

Your hate for what you do not understand is easy to see and you are threatened by the change that is coming and are very dualistic in your views that everything that is not Christian is anti Christian and therefor want to paint the new age as against you. The core of new age teaches non duality that both Buddha, Krishna and Jesus taught so it is not new. Where every soul is seen as a part of yourself.
The best way to deal with the people who call themselves "Christians" is to totally ignore them if they are looked in one view state since there is no reasoning with them since the mind is to set in it's ways to see it from other perspective. Be a soul brother and soul sister to the ones you can and ignore the ones who are not ready.

Again, yes it is. You get an "E" for effort, but you're just not grasping the concept. You have in your mind this image of a dinosaur giving birth to a chicken, but evolution just doesn't work like that.

Anyhow we have established that you firmly believe in the magic fairy dust of evolution, so do you also believe the title of this thread, that those that don't evolve need to be introduced to genocide?

Excuse me, but can you please provide my quote where I threatened anyone with hell? I do not believe you can. Please stop putting other people's words or ideas into my mouth. I don't believe in the Rapture, babbling tongues, judging others to hell, or treating people unkindly. I believe in Yeshua words that by the love we show one to another people will know we are his followers.
Oh, well, it's nice to know what you don't believe in.
You want to know what a LOT of us DON'T believe in? YOUR MYTHOLOGY.
Quit trying to shove it in everyone's face. Keep in in your pants and mess around with it all you want when you get home.
Pretty much everyone on the planet has already heard "The Good News" already a dozen times over. We're sick of hearing it.
We're not changing our minds.
You don't hear the Hindus or the Buddhists running around trying to turn people into Hindus or Buddhists.
Take a hint.

I replied to your statements. This is a forum the last time I looked where we can discuss many topics. Why do the Christian haters have to come onto threads made by obvious Christians about issues affecting us and then accuse us of shoving stuff down your throats? You came onto this thread to share you views. I started the thread and responded to what I felt were obvious fallacies in your viewpoint. If you don't want to hear it, then I suggest you stop tuning into it.
I do find it interesting that Christians would fear genocide after spending countless centuries butchering non-believers.
Christianity will not survive much longer,
