Well, by "Christian rock" I don't just mean rock bands whose members are Christian, I mean rock bands who write songs with lyrics about worshipping Jesus and spreading the Word of God. And I don't quite understand what you mean by "gospel". Do you mean the style of music, or the ...

I don't believe that we're in a "matrix", but consider this: If we are in a matrix, how do we know that artificial intelligence - artificial consciousness - is not possible? How do we know that the computers running the matrix have simply made such a thing impossible for us to achieve? We ...

I go to a Cumberland Presbyterian church, which is generally more conservative than mainstream Presbyterian (although CP did allow the ordination of women before PCUSA did).

To somewhat expand on Canuckster's second point:

Gnosticism teaches that the material world is an illusion created by the devil (or whatever Gnosticism's equivalent of the devil is) to hide the true existence, the spiritual world, from us.

I don't believe that people who die immediately go to Heaven or Hell. I believe that no one will go to Heaven or Hell until Christ returns to Earth and everyone is judged. So what happens to the spirit after death, but before the final resurrection? I think it's possible for the spirit to remain on ...

I listen to rock and heavy metal music quite a lot, though I also like classical and choral music. And rock and metal music are not inherently evil or sexual or whatever. It's more a case of that before rock music, pretty much everyone in a family listened to the same music on the radio and whatnot....

Hi all, my name is James, or you can call me Swamper, which is my nickname (long story). I've been coming to the God & Science website every so often for awhile now, but haven't been on the forums until now. I'm 19 years old, and I like music and video games.
