You ask, "Why does God create all the suffering and not give all the knowledge?" If you've never experienced a cold and rainy night, then How could you appreciate a warm and sunny day? If you don't know what it's like to have pain, How could you ever experience any pleasure? The Chinese...

Would you or the "Humanist" who wrote this mind pointing to where exactly it says in the New Testament that God will punish with eternal torture all who disbelieve that Jesus is the son of God? Don't believe the rumors and lies spread by the Antichrist. Don't rely on someone else's...

She may never take the time to read the bible- It's long and difficult to understand. At least she's shared the source of what's been polluting her mind... It's ironic- the "Humanist" who wrote the above would spend so much time shooting holes in the Bible; pointing out some of its more...

I agree that those truths were calculated by man, and not God. But still, I get the feeling the founders felt the need to include God into the declaration. They could have done it for sly reasons, knowing that they wouldn't get the support of a God fearing nation without inserting a grand...

I feel that way too sometimes, but as you say there is change- even it's very little. We are closer to world peace than ever before, I believe that wholeheartedly. Where there were once giant walls, insurmountable, there are now doors wide open and welcoming. The hardest part for me is...

The clown pool you speak of must be pretty small because we're swimming in circles. How about answering a direct question... Is there really such a thing as an inalienable right? If so, Can you name one or even two? I've seen plenty of times where someone or many have had their "inalienable"...

Seems like Iran has come along way towards being Americanized just like the rest of the world. A few years back those "dire" consequences would have been hard to imagine. It still seems easier to imagine those women had acid poured on their faces and their breasts burned off. You sure...

Trimlover, I get the substance of what you are saying, I think. If God is omnipotent, and supposedly good, why does he allow all the suffering and torture? Why he/she/it/whatever not allow all life to prosper happily for all ages to come? It's a fair question for sure. My guess is maybe God...

Inalienable rights? It's an oximoron Stu. A pipe dream that we're all still smoking. Are you saying the right to life- food, water, sex etc. is really inalienable? If someone chops your head off, wouldn't you have to agree that those rights have been taken away, and therefor they were never...

Actually, inalienable rights can be God given, and can also be taken away by God. I think what the old boys were referring to was rights that couldn't be taken by other men. I'd like to try to answer this one for you too. It seems to me the founders did believe in God, that is to say they...

LMAO!

Just because Man may be purposely or even innocently ignorant of a greater authority and teacher, doesn't necessarily mean that Man is without God. It may just mean that Man is ignorant. Perhaps the reason Atheists can be moral absolutists, stems from what their creator has endowed them with...

I hate to break it to you, Jem, but If your splitting hairs, Stu is correct. How is this? Because if an omnipotent God, even the hypothetical one in Stu's brain, did create or set forth immutable laws, he, it, or what ever it is could just as easily change or do away with those immutable laws...

lmao! I hate to agree with stu- so I won't, but it seems to me that the writers of the DOI got it all wrong too. Don't get me wrong, the Declaration is a fine piece of work, meant to inspire and set forth new laws and ideology- and that it did- but let's face it, it's every bit as much a pipe...

W.H. Auden may have said it best "A well-trained, well-treated sheep dog is more of a dog than a wild one, just as a stray, abused, or spoilt dog has had its dogginess debased."

I didn't say that he was within his rights to hit the guy because of a disagreement. I said he could remove the guy with force if he felt the guy was presenting a threat to him or his family. The cops could have pressed charges even without consent from the battered teacher IF they thought a...

We don't know what was said regarding texts. We don't know why the teacher showed up on the front step and was asked to leave but wouldn't. What we do know is the teacher was asked by the dad to leave and wouldn't. That in itself is grounds for being wacked with a ball bat. The...

Let's say you were a passenger on an airplane, and the pilot suddenly falls ill, possibly from a heart attack, as he is gasping for air and his face is going from red to blue. There are open lines of communication with Flight Control, and there are other persons on the plane. However, no one...

Perhaps you might consider heading on over to spend some man-time with the regime. By the look of those nipples, though, you may want to pack a sweater if you're to be trolliping in the mountain streams with ol' Vladdy.
