Re: HELLoween... stupid!!!

Unbelievers go to church too, so should you stop going to church as well? Unbelievers go to the same jobs that Christians do, so should Christians stop working? Heck, unbelievers even get married and have families! Should Christians stop such things because non-Christians do so as well? The idea tha...

Re: HELLoween... stupid!!!

so you honestly believe that everything on Earth not directly related to Jesus is automatically satanic? I feel really bad for you, but that's your prerogative. From my perspective, all that you are doing is instilling a fear in your children that the world and practically everyone in it is just try...

Re: HELLoween... stupid!!!

So I suppose you also don't believe in having Christmas trees or the Easter bunny, right? Those are certainly more closely related to pagan traditions than Christian ones. I mean, seriously...today Halloween is a fun holiday for children's entertainment. You can choose to hate it if you want, I gues...

Re: Pastor’s Speech Against Equal Rights (surprise ending)

It's not that homosexual couples are arguing for more government control of marriages. It's simply a fact of life that the government provides a huge amount of financial, social, and legal benefits to couples who are married under their laws. In today's world, there are two sides to marriage. There ...

Re: Science against evolution

One is that natural processes brought about the exitence of simple, single-celled organisms and its descendants evolved to produce all the forms of life that exist today. The other is that it was created by God. I completely reject this statement. First of all, the areas of the origins of life and ...

Re: Why do men have more dominance than women?

I agree with Byblos on this one, Butterfly. Lots of the members of this forum joke about topics like this. Rick wasn't seriously expressing his opinion there at all. This is a big topic, but try to keep a level head with it all.

Re: Biology of life and 3D spatial positioning

Neige, here is why that experiment has been debunked many times that even evolutionists dont use it anymore. Indeed, you are correct...Those who accept evolution don't use this experiment (or any proposed experiments like it) to support evolution. Of course, the point is moot because it being wrong...

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 trust...

Re: Sudden Anxiety Attack That Is So Scary

As someone who literally has gone through some mental and emotional issues recently, I can say that seeking some form of help is probably good. Hopefully you can get it before it gets too out of control, because let me tell you that is not fun at all (I say this from experience). Talk to a psychiatr...

Re: Jews call for Messiah

Just out of curiosity...Is this seriously a big deal? Haven't the Jews been praying for the Messiah to come for a long, long time now? Or is this actually a totally new event? Is it based on the OT, or is it something organized through an outside, modern group? And if the Messiah does not come and e...

Re: Disgusting

500 CE, FL? Christianity would have been, what, 500 years old at that time? Christianity was 1500 years old in the mid-1500s, not the year 500.

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

Wow...back hammering the whole abiogenesis thing again? Evolution says nothing about the origins of life. At all. Can you really just get that through your head? It's so absurd that you keep saying "evolution is fake because abiogenesis didn't happen!" when evolutionary biology only deals ...

Re: One Atheist argument (finally?) disregarded?

That's very true, Paul. But it is certainly hard for a relatively well-off person in America or europe could understand growing up in Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan. When you essentially grow up in poverty, surrounded by poverty, surrounded by violence (and worse yet, violence from other countries), it...

Re: One Atheist argument (finally?) disregarded?

Do you have any reason to suggest that they are truly devout Muslims who just want nothing more than what their religion asks of them? Other than that they say it is?
