Re: Response to Atheist Rally
There's a lot of inbred criticism in here, hopefully I can break it up. The atheistic worldview today is one more about a denial of the supernatural, rather than the evidence for a random chance universe. Exactly that... These days it's easier than ever to see through the atheistic propaganda. It's ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
This is not how it works. If you claim the bible has authority ordained by God, the burden of proof lies on you to prove that. Do you really believe that anyone can make a spectacular claim and that people should just believe them unless they can disprove that claim? If I told you that humans evolv...

Re: Who are we to judge homosexuality/others?
Well, that may be possible in some churches, but, I'm afraid I can't say that would be the most Christian wedding. I'd point out Romans 1:26-27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Honestly, both those books were written by Paul. If you'll recall in another book, Paul lays out the details of how one should tr...

Re: Bible Contradictions??
"The consistent deterioration of the Bible as the source of moral truth has led to a nation where people have become independent judges of right and wrong, basing their choices on feelings and circumstances. It is not likely that America will return to a more traditional moral code until the n...

Re: Bible Contradictions??
I am not really sure if we can make the call that children thrive and are well adjusted in a homosexual parental system. Too soon to tell for sure, but, well...to be honest, I've seen what happens when a kid(s) have only one type of "paternal unit" ( be it only male or female) and you can...

Re: Bible Contradictions??
Hmmm, that's a tough one. Homosexuality is a "deviant" sexual behaviour in the technical sense, it is "abnormal" - ie: Outside the norm for our species. Note I am NOT making a comment on it being "right or wrong" per say, just sticking to the "facts" as it we...

Re: Bible Contradictions??
No, I agree that we can be moral without the bible. Even before the bible there were moral people. We are created in God's image so the possibility of being moral is part of us. That is a far crying from saying that we do NOT NEED God to be moral though. I'm not arguing that god isn't needed in the...

Well, there's Iceland, Sweden, Norway, & Belgium. All extremely secular countries that have extremely low crime, high health, and stable economies (And yes, Iceland is very stable now as well as the safest country in the world). Australia, Japan, and France are also partial examples. It is poss...

Re: Does Mitt Romney Have a chance at becoming president?
Actually, I think a lot of our problems could be solved by going with an approval voting system, where you can vote to approve of any number of candidates you want and vote to disapprove of any number of candidates you want. That would really let the people decide not only want they want, but what ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil
This doesn't sound like a good understanding of morality.. A moral law giver creates subjective morals (the morals are subject to that being) - but the subjective morals are highly authoritative to the point that you can say they are objective. This doesn't make them objective though, since (by wha...

Re: Does Mitt Romney Have a chance at becoming president?
Personally I don't think ANY candiate should serve with LESS than 51% of the votes of registered voters. Mathematically speaking for a second: 300 million people in the US 100 Million voters the highest vote winner gets 40% of all the votes = 40 million, which means that 60 million people do NOT wa...

Re: Bible Contradictions??
But aren't we saying that the Bible is a fussy copy (of a copy of a copy)? We are? Oh sorry - upon reexamination it would seem you are certainly not. I thought you were, but it was another poster. My mistake. :] As for the bible, it would seem we are at an odds with regaurds to its truth and interp...
