Re: Going to gouge out my eyes soon!
When an otherwise rational, intelligent person responds to reasoned arguments irrationally, it's a pretty good indicator that the primary barrier to belief isn't intellectual. Regardless of how much this person rationalizes her/her unbelief, deep down the reason they don't believe is because they do...

Re: Homosexuality
Oh, I don't doubt that some gays allow their sin to define them. Do we really suppose that the "gay gene" may be closely linked to the "effete lisp gene?" Good one. Ravi addresses this issue well. Is sexual orientation sacred? Race is sacred. You are born that way and there is n...

Re: Homosexuality
^ After reading my post does the concept of hard core gays seem more plausible though? What I meant by this is that I have never seen a gay who goes to gay pride parades, commits sodomy of floats in public, guys all sorts of disgusting sex toys, and then turns Christian. I have however seen gays th...

Re: Question about god and science?
If there are an infinite number of universes, then must there not be a universe in which the multiverse does not exist? Perhaps a universe that destroys the multiverse? Heck, if there are infinite universes, then doesn't that necessarily mean there is a universe wherein God exists? And if God exists...

Re: Theory Of Adaptation
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, as I don't know a ton about evolutionary theory. What leads scientists to believe that australopithecus and the others are ancestors of modern humans? I mean, what in the evidence suggests that these extinct species were not from a completely different evolutio...

Re: Real reason
How about you read about southern poverty rates before the civil war, thats a real eye opener as well. Sadly, this is another tragic, though less talked about consequence of slavery-- the wealthy landowners got wealthier on the backs of free slave labor, while poor whites were mired in the poverty ...

Re: Homosexuality
@ the protector You do not see adultry pride parades when men commit adultry on floats where the whole city can see them do you? In some gays, their sin does make up their entire personality, take a trip to san francisco and you will see what I mean. As for the hard core gays stuff, yea , hard core...

Re: Homosexuality
I'm a little late in coming to this thread, but I've read through the whole thing and I can't help but notice that some here are bringing several assumptions to the discussion, perhaps without realizing it. There has been a great deal talk about "homosexuals" generally, and some talk about...

Atheists Seek Chaplain Role in Military
I know this sounds like something from the Onion, but it was an actual headline from "the paper of record," the New York Times. Atheists in the military want to establish atheist chaplains to minister to members of their faith. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. Well, at least they are ...

Re: SALVATION ISSUE
An interesting conversation, to be sure! One note on the Rich young ruler: People often mistake this passage as meaning that the wealthy can't go to heaven, or that we must give up everything we have in order to gain salvation; people often pull the "camel through the eye of a needle" vers...

Re: Witnessing to a Jewish person
Thank you for all your excellent replies. It seems I was headed in the right direction on this, having a decent understanding of the concepts involved from a Christian perspective, but I wasn't quite sure how to get through his legalistic perspective of it as a Jew. When he refered to Jesus claiming...

Witnessing to a Jewish person
Hello all. I have not posted on here much but I have lurked for quite some time. I love the site and I have become a great admirer of many of the members here with the wisdom and understanding of the Scriptures they exhibit. I'm hoping some of may be able to give me some insight on something that st...

Re: Craig vs Harris Debate
They've been playing several debates lately on NRB network, yet haven't seen one with WLC. I have read transcripts of some of his though. "Well, objective morality exists because it's OBVIOUS to any SANE person what is objectively moral!" That is a pretty weak response, and a flawed one a...

Re: Craig vs Harris Debate
That link directs to a log-in page, so I was not able to see the arguments of which you speak. Could you perhaps post a popular example of a good point Harris made that was actually on-topic? One that was not adequately refuted by Craig? Half-way through the Debate Harris essentially abandoned the t...

Re: Craig vs Harris Debate
It was clear Craig had him dead to rights after his first response. Harris' response completely ignored all of Craigs arguments, and instead he went on a rant fitting of an 8th grader about how bad God is and how bad the Christian religion is. Only half-way through the entire presentation, Harris si...
