Re: Presidential Election 2012

What’s clear is you are being vague! Please explain the mechanics of this unconscious activity.[1] Do you understand how the conscious mind works?[2] The conscious mind itself is largely a mystery.[3] Therefore, how can something which does not fully understand itself begin to interpret what the un...

Re: Presidential Election 2012

Not the issue. All your vague talk of the “unconscious” is what prompted me to call your ramblings gobbledegook. And I stand by that until you can present some substance to the ramblings. Well, I think my point about democ RAT party doesn't have to be explained since it's pretty obvious. I think I ...

Re: Presidential Election 2012

With all due respect, this is gobbledegook.[1] You have no evidence whatsoever that August wasn’t merely shortening the word.[2] Does a democrat say “I’m a democratic”?[3] In fact, it makes more sense to call it a democrat government, since “democratic government” can be construed as an endorsement...

Re: Presidential Election 2012

It seems you don't have much of a clue about anything. If your opinion is swayed by the removal of three letters then you seem to be pretty weak-willed With all due respect, you obviously have no idea how much unconscious processes influence our everyday decisions and behaviour. In this case, as an...

Re: Presidential Election 2012

Even though Bush was no fiscal conservative, Obama has taken it to a new level. Also remember that we have had Democrat congress since 2007. (Picture) First, I don't understand why you changed Democratic to Democrat, when there is no grammatical reason to do so. This is often done by the right in A...

Re: Why do many christians not like homosexuals?

To answer the OP, I think it's a combination of different psychological defense mechanisms with which the self tries to create as much harmony as possible (mental self-preservation if you will). Now, I will concede that there are probably some Christians and others who dislike homosexuals because of...

Lack of the spiritual

I'm a Christian, and I've been one my whole life (though at about 11 I almost deconverted because I thought there was nothing to indicate a God existed). I've used mostly deductive reasoning to prove to myself I am following the correct religion (of the major religions, I believe Christianity and Ju...

Re: Critique of "Can Christians Use Drugs?"

Firstly, I'd like to make clear it would a misrepresentation to characterise Christians as though they're the only ones against drug use, whether marijuana or some other drug. Christianity is irrelevant to the issue of marijuana, and therefore many of your arguments are largely built upon an inform...

Re: Critique of "Can Christians Use Drugs?"

First I'd like to thank the moderators for (eventually) accepting my critique. Second' I'd like everyone reading this to note that everyone that has replied has only had a probem with one of my counter-arguments. Therefore I'll assume that all the other arguments have been accepted as valid, since t...

Critique of "Can Christians Use Drugs?"

Full title: "Is It Okay for Christians to Use Marijuana (Cannabis) and Other Drugs?" Before we start, I'd like to note that English is my second language, meaning my grammar isn't going to be perfect. Also, I am a Christian, if that happens to interest anyone. Also, the following ackowledg...
