I take great pride in being honest with myself. With that being said, here's my thoughts: 1) I really don't give a shit about the poor little Iraqi people or their soldiers. If they get tortured and killed, it's irellevant to me because it's not me or my family. 2) I live in a country...

How were they wrong? (if you believe they were). I'd love to see some atheists show me how they were 'wrong'...

The problem with music today is that it doesn't speak to what's timeless about humanity: the human condition, love, loss, joy, etc. At best, it appeals to a superficial substitute of these things. I remember the days when I'd save up my $10/week allowance just to go out and buy a new...

The only thing I can think of is the old Bob Dylan "Gaslight" bootlegs from 1961 - 1962. He did a few sets at the Gaslight cafe in NYC before he ever became famous. In fact, I think these bootlegs are some of the first known recordings of Bob Dylan at all. It's a bit obscure, but well known...

BTW, Has anyone noticed that Gekko himself has failed to post once in this thread? Gekko - are you there? Or are you too busy preaching "fishtank theory" to the ignorant masses? :p -[M]

Count me in for the debate. However, I don't think it's possible in a chat format, do you? We should just start another thread in addition to the already several hundred dealing with theological topics. :)

Allow me to rephrase the question through a hypothetical scenario. It might clear things up. Gekko and another man have become stranded on a remote pacific island with little hope of rescue. Gekko is still in good health possessing all of his mental and physical faculties. The other man...

Interesting point as we'll see... I'll let Gekko answer first.

Here's one for our resident fishtank theorist, Gordon Gekko: Please logically demonstrate, without appealing to emotion (or any of your other favorite fallacies) that murdering another man is morally wrong. -[M]

As a christian, I fully admit that the existence of God can't be proven. It's impossible. But that's not because God doesn't exist, but because the vantage point that logic and science afford us isn't broad enough to encompass all the available data. And that is where the atheist...

I am left speechless at the high quality of argument set forth here. Especially when you go on to solidify it with "fishtank theory". (snicker).... Dawkins should have consulted you, sage Gekko, before he took up writing books. If he had, he could have demolished 2000 years of rigid, dogmatic...

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You think that's a conclusion with no possible refutation? My God, Gekko - surely you are not that dumb. Then again.... -[M]

Try telling that to physician geneticist Francis Collins, Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. He's only one of the most brilliant men of our time with a Ph.D in physical chemistry from Yale, as well as a Medical Degree from Univ of North Carolina. Here's a 60 minute MP3...

I am a christian. I believe in Jesus Christ. (settle down, Gekko) I am a theistic evolutionist. I'm extremely curious in hearing from other christians on two matters: 1) If you're of the opinion that accepting evolution = not believing in God, why do you hold this opinion? 2) What...
