Re: Check This Out!
I only agree with the "absolute morality" part, in the sense that it couldn't exist without God. Physics can be different outside our universe or dimensions and logic exists without God, I think... God can't violate logic. And no, time counts as physics, not logic :esurprised: . I'm a bit ...

Re: Atheist Student
This doesn't seem like an issue of answering the questions. It's more of a personality issue and should be dealt with as such. Maybe ask him why he insults and asks questions if he's not really even expecting answers. In any case I think it's pointless to try to answer him with his current state of ...

Re: Osama
Not sure if all of you will get this one, it's pretty funny though:
Osama Bin Laden should've known "camping" only works for so long (hint: video game reference).

Re: Atheist Student
He's got a lot of misconceptions and outright wrong information. 1. His first point is on the problem of suffering. To be honest, this is one of the things that used to bother me a lot but also one of the first things I realized was totally necessary as I started reading more about the Christian fa...

Re: What makes a person atheist?
...Not true. People marry cross lines all the time, sometimes for worse or sometimes for betterment when spouse turns to the Lord. We disagree here. This is what my Christian friend once wrote me: "Again, Christ ate with "sinners", but he never became one in order to win them. He did...

Re: Is Salvation available to Fallen Angels? Why or why not?
My take on this is this, because angels have SEEN God, they cannot be saved. They have SEEN God in all his power, and directly experienced his nature, including his love, they have FELT it. For them to sin after THAT, they have to REALLY WANT to sin. Thus, they are simply too far gone to ever be sa...

Re: why we think god in humanoid form
I don't think of God as a person. I picture Him as a vague white form in heaven, that's it. God Himself said not to make an image of Him (I'm looking at you, Michaelangelo ;) ) As for us being created in His image, that has more to do with morals and personality, etc. If that was about our physical ...

Re: Evidence for Free Will?
Here's a thought: You have free will as long as you believe you have free will.
Hope that makes the discussion more interesting.

Re: Natural Evil
I think the conclusion Vlad has come to is God could not create a universe with natural evil, even if it generally fulfills His purposes, so the solution is: don't create any universe at all! In this sense, God could only create a perfect universe (no natural evil). I think the only solution is God ...

Re: Meaning and purpose to Atheists...
Contrary to what some of you are saying, whynot did provide meaning and purpose for Atheists. The thing is though, I don't think he realizes what this implies. whynot is saying that for morals you need complementary things, that is - his axioms are not meant to explain them. What could these things ...
