Christianity and Sex by Bertrand Russell The worst feature of the Christian religion, however, is its attitude toward sex -- an attitude so morbid and so unnatural that it can be understood only when taken in relation to the sickness of the civilized world at the time the Roman Empire was...

Don't we have short memories? The basis of a civil discussion is mutual respect for both sides' points of view, even when disagreeing. You insisted a narrow definition of Christianity that covers about 1/3 of total Christians according to my definition. Thus our disagreement whether a...

No. if you simply had said that you disagreed with me, that would have been fine. But this is what you actually said And this is what's wrong with the so-called conservative Christians. They don't simply disagree with other sects of Christians or nonChristians. Their contempt for other...

It was you who quoted Bible out of context and looking foolish. You have some serious problems with logic. Being respectful to other faiths does not require you to accept a false faith. You can tell someone that what they believe is wrong and at the same time be respectful. Insulting others'...

Communism is a religion. One that failed. What's your point?

You're as confused as he is. You can very well respect someone's religion without agreeing to his belief. "Equally valid" and "worthy of respect" are two totally different things. You get yourself into a bind by thinking that they're the same thing. Furthermore, he claims that Catholics (or...

I admire your youthful energy.

Do you need to constantly knock others down to prove yourself?

Right, but one can't be selective. The contexts of the two texts are different.

All generalizations are false.:D

My point was, that it was ok for you to view that diseases were created by God. However, that was not intentional on God's part in the sense that God did not target any person in particular, or just humans. Many diseases were spread among animals before they got to humans. So the fact is, there...

I understand the context just fine. You can't be selective when "understanding the context."

Both of them?

When you're sick, do you take medicine? Why don't you take God's punishment and pray to God to heal yourself?

Go back and read the posts again. Pabst asked when was the last time a non-muslim hijacked a US plane. I gave him the answer. "White Republican" was a parallel discussion.

You were asking about "non-muslim" hijacking US planes. I didn't know Cubans were muslims.

Luke 22:36He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." That's from the mouth of Jesus himself. Do you really know the Bible?

I said, "One out of the two most heinous terror acts committed in this country was by white Republican males. It's a fact." My statement is factually correct. Unabomber was a serial killer, but his act would not count among "two most heinous terror acts."

Well, going by past statistics, targeting muslims would only stop 50% of the terror acts. Targeting both muslims and white Republicans, though, would stop close to 100%. August 14, 2001 Elderly couple attempt to hijack the plane and force the pilot to fly to Cuba. In the ensuing scuffle the...

One out of the two most heinous terror acts committed in this country was by white Republican males. It's a fact. I don't gamble.
