Re: Who are we to judge homosexuality/others?
We once were segregated by race, and before that, slavery. Leviticus 25:44-46 We have corrected ourselves of racial segregation, we also corrected slavery. Using God's "divine command morality" to justify the hate towards homosexuals, or judging the way they live is morally reprehensible....

Re: Divine Command Morality
IF there is a GOD, then that GOD must by virtue of being GOD, be all-knowing and by virtue of being God, all-good. A command that may SEEM immoral from GOD, can't be viewed as such IF He is GOD. EX: God commands that a child is killed in 1895, the child's name is Hitler. No one knows WHY. Well, tha...

Re: BIBLE: Literally or Not
Guided by an adult. That depends, if the adult is preaching to the child that the world is 6,000 years old. That would be child abuse in my opinion. Not only is that child going to be laughed at by their peers but it will prevent the child from being accepted by a decent college if they are sincere...

Divine Command Morality
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fP9CwDTRoOE#t=6798s I'm not sure what your views are of William Craig, he seems to be well revered by most Christians. In this video he talks about the justification for God or God's will killing children. I would like to hear your input o...

Re: BIBLE: Literally or Not
Any view whether it be religious, atheistic, political, social, ecological will be pushed onto children. It's a fact of life get over it. I can't let this pass, it's cynicle and outrageous. I'm flabbergasted. If this is your attitude, our children do not have a future. Religion CAN be seperate, JFK...

Re: Negligence
I'm not angry with God, but I am deeply saddened by stories like this. It's not the fault of faith or belief, it's the fault of organized religions and their leaders who manipulate people using religion as a context. I don't think anyone can argue that the pastors advocating for people to stop trus...

Re: BIBLE: Literally or Not
We should not be pushing ANY religion on them, let them choose for themselves. Any view whether it be religious, atheistic, political, social, ecological will be pushed onto children. It's a fact of life get over it. We should not be baptizing, mutilating children without their consent. Firstly you...

Re: BIBLE: Literally or Not

I really can't stress it enough, CONTEXT is very import...

Re: BIBLE: Literally or Not
This actually adds to the validity of the Bible and does not detract from it, it is quite well established that it is normal if people see a certain situation and then write about it, some of the details are going to be different. It would be quite strange and unrealistic if all accounts were exact...
