Homosexuality in Christianity
Salad bar Christians I find it somewhat disingenuous that fundamentalist Christians use the Bible to justify their prejudice against gay people. It seems to me that they behave as 'salad bar' Christians, accepting the often extreme Biblical commandments against homosexuality but ignoring the... -
What do you say to an atheist?
Why do you think that atheists like Isaac Asimov, Bill Gates, or Bill Maher are 'dead already''? How do you think they envision the world? Don't you think it is preferable to face the Real World the way it is rather than create an imaginary land filled with imaginary entities? -
What do you say to an atheist?
I would be curious as to what faith does mean to you. I am perplexed at why people would consider faith to be a virtue rather than a vice. The 9/11 Islamists had faith in their religious beliefs. It appears to me that if something is really true, it can be empirically tested rather than... -
The Resurrection accounts
Is it the same message? For many centuries, being Christian in Europe meant being a Catholic. Do Catholics have the same message as the Baptists or the Coptics or the Jehovah's Witnesses, or the Moonies, or the Mormons, or the Gnostics or the Greek Orthodox or the.... -
Does Athiesm have valid claims? Please advise
Luke 1:27 says that Joseph was of the house of David, something both gospels agree upon.. How does this make one of the genealogies apply to Mary? She is never mentioned. There are a whole lot of assumptions here just to say that Mary was from the tribe of Judah. Seems easier to just assume she... -
Is the Bible mythology?
Rorschach The Rorschach test, also known as the Rorschach inkblot test or simply the Inkblot test, is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation. There is no image in the inkblots, but rather in the mind of... -
What do you say to an atheist?
I didn't realize that you were such a fan of peanut butter. :) Many posters, including apparently you, in this forum, would classify me as an atheist. I would put my beliefs closer to Einstein's -
Things Under the Earth
But do you believe Hell is a real physical place inside the earth? -
Things Under the Earth
So then our scientific instruments should be able to detect it. Why do you suppose that has not happened? There should be several billion people there by now. Why do you suppose that corpses remain where they were buried? Why are not the bodies transferred to Hell? What happens if an atheist... -
Things Under the Earth
Do you think that demons or souls actually live in the earth's core? that Hell is a physical place under the planet's crust? -
what Law did Jesus replace?
Mosaic Law revoked?! No ten Commandments?! Do you have a different Matthew Gospel? 'I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.' Last time I checked... -
The Cult of Isis
According to Egyptian mythology, Isis was not a virgin. Instead, she reassembled Osiris so he could impregnate her to produce Horus. The Isis cult, however, could have been a precursor to the images of Mary with baby Jesus since Isis is often portrayed in similar images with Horus. -
What do you say to an atheist?
Perhaps for some Young earth creationists, anybody who doesn't think that every word in the Bible (KJV) is literally true is an atheist. I am not particularly concerned if someone classifies their beliefs as Christian, Buddhist, Naturalist, atheist, or Deist. In general, I find a lot of... -
What do you say to an atheist?
Judy, Since we are doing recommendations, I would recommend the new book, 50 reasons why people believe in God(s). In it the author shows the fallacy inherent in the argument in the link you cite. The intelligent people that Mr Abrahamson refers to don't reject YHWH because of some misguided... -
Is the Bible mythology?
Here is Young's literal translation of the LXX, which dates back older than the second millenium Hebrew text you cite: 16Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not one among them. As can be seen by carefully reading... -
What do you say to an atheist?
Re: Facts versus opinions. It certainly sounds like the 'no true Scotsman' argument. -
What do you say to an atheist?
my concerns Marantha, Thank you for your comments. My concern with some of the early posts is that some of the posters were equating non-believers as sinful(i.e. bad) people with no or low morals. First, such conclusions cannot be supported by the evidence. Second, I think it is highly... -
What do you say to an atheist?
Re: Facts versus opinions. The words of Mark Twain are appropriate here "Man is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion -- several of them." How do you know that your translated version of the Bible IS the Word of God? As far as I know God is not signing... -
Is the Bible mythology?
Perhaps it is a matter of semantics since we are talking about a hypothetical item, sort of like discussing the nature of superman's cape. However, if we look at the texts, we see that Paul thought the spiritual body was like the heavenly bodies such as stars. Of course, he didn't know what...
