I think we should single out caucasian Republican males as well as muslim males because two terror attacks on US soil were carried out by these guys.

In my Old Testament textbook "Reading the Old Testament An Introduction" by Lawrence Boadt, from page 123 in the book which describes this as from the Priestly Source. "What has always interested readers is the long lifespan in the Priestly Source. This was not intended as proof that humans...

Now we're getting into philosophy. There has been a big school of philosophers who actually indeed believe what you just said. It sounds absurd on the surface but when you think about it, it actually makes sense. Of course, the philosophical construction is not as simple as the way you put...

It's also possible that the world was created by Satan. There are infinite number of possibilities. Why do you need them? Why don't you have a little faith in God?

You have no faith in God. God exists because of one's faith in it, not because some insignificant "evidence" that a lowly human can understand. Why do you think God would want to play hide and seek with humans on the evidence of his existence?

There isn't such thing. God's existance is taken on faith. That's what the word "faith" means. Looking for evidence that God exists is the same as looking for evidence that God doesn't exist. When you start looking for such evidence, you're already questioning your faith, and so you're not far...

You can't examine the evidence to prove whether God exists or not. If look for the evidence that God doesn't exist, you will find them. However, that cannot prove or disprove your faith. The fossile records are the "evidence" God created to tempt the nonbelievers. If you believe those evidence...

Corinthians 10:32Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— Corinthians 10:33even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. Why are you ignoring parts of the Bible that...

It's not a religion of acceptance, but it's supposed to be a religion of tolerance. Corinthians 10:27If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. Corinthians 10:32Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether...

You're now exposing your ignorance of the Bible! Amazing! Ezra 9:1 After these things had been done, the leaders came to me and said, "The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the neighboring peoples with their detestable...

You're just narrowminded. No one asks you to accept the validity of other faiths. You simply need to have empathy to other faiths - understand that others may hold their faiths in the same manner as you hold yours, and that you regard others in the same manner as you wish others regard yours...

Of course evolution is not the only possible explanation for the close similarities between human and primate DNA's. Another good explanation is that God is lazy and reused most of the codes when making all the animals. He is a very good OO programer. :D

That's a misunderstanding of science. Science does not make any claim about things "outside the relm of scientific explanation." The foundation of science is that there is a natural explanation for everything. For example, the conservation of energy is one of the founding laws of...

I think you misunderstood him. There is no way anyone can say that miracles cannot happen. However, we as mortals cannot tell the difference between a real miracle and a natural occurance for which we simply haven't found the correct explanation. Science is only possible if people do not give...

Do you also think that this country has been going downhill since we freed slaves?

There aren't many political leaders who are openly homosexual. In fact, it is still political suicide in most states (blue states included) for a politician to openly admit being a homosexual. Most people still think homosexual is abnormal or immoral, even though they don't openly admit it...

If you've seen my earlier posts, it would be clear what I mean by "fundamentalist." They're the ones who think that anybody outside of their church are not Christians. They blindly believe what their leaders (Falwell is a good example) tell them, with complete disregard for facts. They really...

I think it's the same as the contempt between the baptists and catholics. The closer you're ideologically the harder it is to forgive. You also need to modify your statement - it's mostly non-Christian liberals that cannot stand the Christian fundamentalists. Christians (my definition and I...

Such contempt for other people's faith is exactly what's wrong with the fundamentalists, whether they're muslims or christians.

You're confused. I asked not your respect for my person, but respect for my faith, in reciprocal of my respect for your faith. This is the basis of a civilized discussion. Why is it so hard for you to respect other people's faith?
