Re: Homosexuality is not a sin
Most homosexuals are not taking advantage of marriage where it is legalized. The reason they want it is to normalize their lifestyle and force society, by penalty of law, to say it is so. So let me see if I get this right: MOST HOMOSEXUALS don't actually want to get married, but they want to FORCE ...

Re: Truth and knowledge : Not relative and not plural
First of all I would like to say that Iam not near your level in philosophy and logic so bare with me and my not so academical choice of words. Descartes is known for this proof. I think, therefore I am. He is right in a sense except he got it backwards. You exist because you think. You don't think ...

Re: Truth and knowledge : Not relative and not plural
I can only prove that I am alive using my senses thus an empirical method. You can't prove you are alive otherwise.Are you alive?

Re: Truth and knowledge : Not relative and not plural
How can we know a triangle is triangular? Good point. This is similar to a dilemma: Is the reality we live in real or do we just perceive it as being real? As domokunrox said in his first post, TRUTH is related to the the reality we live in. But in order to make a connection between truth and reali...

Re: Truth and knowledge : Not relative and not plural
I have to admit that this one is quite hard to digest and brain dazzling. I will start with a question: How can you actually know what is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH without any reference point prior to the existence of TRUTH? What I am trying to say (hopefully it makes sense) is that even if you try to defi...

Re: Gay Rights
@domokunrox I read your post and thanks for taking the time to answer me. I have to say that you said some harsh things about me. You did take some of my words out of context and you also misunderstood some of the things I said. I will try to clear them out. I don't think there's anything wrong with...

Re: Has science gotten arrogant?
And if you want to look back in history, there have been far, far more ideas that did not pan out, so er, no, history is most certainly not on your side. Far, far more ideas? How many? Did you count them or just saying that? Maybe you would like to name a few important ones that did not pan out. Yo...

Re: Gay Rights
To be open-minded, at a minimum one must argue with coherence. In this thread you say you prefer more reliable sources than someone's word about the Bible (which in and of itself proves you really know little about the Bible) and in another thread you use nothing but your imagination to claim multi...

Re: Gay Rights
No, Bryan, I was just telling you that I believe God has not created any new universes, since this one was completed. Because God rested from His creation, doesn't mean He needed to rest because He was tired. He is resting until He creates the new heaven and new earth. After evil is eradicated in t...

Re: Has science gotten arrogant?
Bryan, you're off into your own imaginary world again. By definition, there can be one AND ONLY ONE uncaused cause. If this uncaused cause is the God of the Bible, i.e. a timeless, changeless, intelligent entity, then there can be no other. The reason for that is rather simple, if there were 2 such...

Re: Has science gotten arrogant?
So not only do you postulate an infinite number of universes, you also postulate that these universes must be parallel to ours without a hint of evidence. Okay, sure let's keep going with this absurdity a bit longer, so what? So what if God sent multiple Jesuses to save an infinite number of sinner...

Re: Gay Rights
Bryan, marriage was instituted by God, at the creation of Adam and Eve: Genesis 2:21-25 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The LORD God [t]fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken...

Re: Genetics and Homosexuality: Are People Born Gay?
Just accept the fact that unborn humans, are nothing but humans, and we can move forward. The fact that we disagree on certain aspects of abortion, does't mean that I have to accept something just to move forward... Jesus looked human, because He was human. He wasn't half man/ half God. The incarna...

Re: Universal Health Care
Third, if you are not happy with private health care in the USA, move to Canada! We have no economic crisis, jobs are plentiful, you can speak English, ''global warming'' has made the climate more clement, you can get all your 'merican TeeVee shows here, you can buy People magazine, we've even got ...
