Re: The Hindu milk miracle
Gman has brought up a similar point already.

Re: True Religion
Please explain why you find it so amazing . Because it's a textbook leap in logic. There is no correlation between natural and moral laws, and the fact that God does not break the former is absolutely irrelevant as to how tolerant He will be to humans breaking the latter. The article is full of sim...

Re: The Hindu milk miracle
Of course.. No surprise there. Many also accused Jesus of having satanic powers in his day. Luke 11:14-15 Actually I would be surprised if they didn't whenever they saw a miracle. Okay - so how is your reasoning any better than theirs? No, it's not. It was on the news in dozens of countries across ...

Re: The Hindu milk miracle
Only demonic ones most likely... 2 Thessalonians 2:9 That's an interesting avenue that I've contemplated, but it seems to me the non-Christian can use the same reasoning for Christian miracles. For example, the Muslim can say that the resurrection of Jesus was something Satan from the Qur'an did to...

Re: racist argument for evolution
I wasn't talking about Darwin there. Some of his comments can definitely be interpreted as racist. Still, that's just a consequence of living in the 19th century.

Re: Infinite punishment for finite sins
If it didn't make sense, and the Bible left no other alternatives but to believe it, then that would be a pretty good reason (for me, at least) to leave Christianity. Fortunetaly, annihilationism has good grounds to stand on. Chalking it all up to God's supremacy and our inability to understand &quo...

Re: racist argument for evolution
The claim that white people are more intellectually capable on average (something which we have both scientific and statistical evidence for), is not necessarily "racist". It would be racism to say that they had superior overall human worth.

Re: Reasonable confident faith vs. blind emotional faith...
Awesome response Narnia4, In a nutshell, what I'm really trying to ask in these two long posts is this, is it possible for believers like us, who live today, to have a faith like the apostles had after the resurrection? You have to admit, if any Christians throughout the world's history had a stron...

Re: Infinite punishment for finite sins
Some people just don't realize how long an infinite period of time is. Imagine, after trillions and trillions of years of torment, you're still not even a second closer to the end. That's terrifying. In any case, given that I haven't found any satisfying answers to this, I am now inclined to adopt A...

Re: True Religion
I know I am going to get accused of sounding like an atheist again, but. . .
That article is so blitheringly stupid. "God rarely breaks His natural laws. Therefore, I propose that God would also not tolerate having His moral laws broken so easily".
This, this is just amazing.

Re: Natural Evil Article
First, I've never said anything about objective truth. You asked me for how I define good and evil. Of course, if someone denies the existence of objective truth, then they can't even begin to discuss anything, not just the problem of evil. Answer this: Do you believe that there is evil in the world...

Re: Natural Evil Article
Since I am a Christian, it's a matter of God's opinion.
Still, even if I wasn't, that's an incredibly feeble trap. All I would say in response (if I didn't believe in the existence of God) is that your belief system is internally incosistent.

Re: Natural Evil Article
The argument is flawed to the core, because, even if it is conceded that some "natural evils" are the necessary consequences of the present set of natural laws, God being omnipotent, should still be able to prevent them through perpetual miracles. So yes, there are possible worlds where th...
