Christianity, good, bad, fact, or fiction?
I'm not talking in the context of Christ. What does it mean to sacrifice something? (Wednesday May 1 | post #536)

Define sacrifice. What does it mean when one sacrifices something? (Wednesday May 1 | post #532)

I'm curious as to exactly what you are disagreeing with. (Tuesday Apr 30 | post #487)

Do me a favor. Think about what you consider a bad situation, then think about what a child in Africa might consider a bad situation, and then see if what you just said applies. (Saturday Apr 27 | post #338)

There are nearly 30 definitions for the word love in the dictionary, and even that is a poor place to find the definition for a largely philosophic word such as that. So no, I didn't know what you meant. (Friday Apr 26 | post #327)

Is this code for "we'll wait until we get a few more pages of thread and then I'll repeat the questions pretending no one answered them." If history is an indicator, I suspect this to be the case. (Friday Apr 26 | post #323)

I guess I'll try again, though I'm sure you'll ignore this as you do all other direct responses to your hogwashFrom the singularity before the big bang. Before that, we will never know, though there are several hypotheses that make sense. Lack of not knowing doesn't suggest God or anything supernaturalLife replicated first (I don't even think you read my other post), and it isn't something that is "learned. " Life first started sexual reproduction when it was still single cell. Reproduction allows for genetic variation, which is advantageous for a speciesAnywhere from 3.5 to 3.9 billion years ago, give or take a few daysAgain, define non-living material. This isn't me pulling a Clinton, this is necessary for your question to make any sense. Think about what your body is made of. Do you consider your blood cells living material? If so why? Do you consider the protein enzymes in your body living material? If so why? Is a virus a living material? Your question is often repeated by Creationists because they think that living and non living are two distinct things, with no middle ground. This is not the case at all when one starts to actually see the bigger picturePhilosophy and science has answered your questions (at least what I think you are asking in them), and again you just choose to ignore the answers. It would tickle me pink if you actually responded to this with anything of intellectual value. (Friday Apr 26 | post #322)

Answer the questions. If God is beyond logic, can he do any of those things? You are quick to say what God will or won't do in other areas so this shouldn't be a problem. (Friday Apr 26 | post #316)

What? You made a completely spurious assumption. At least own itPull a Clinton, how witty. I gave the same simplicity in my answers as you did with your questions, I challenged you on some of them to make them at least some what respectable. I know 3 year old kids who have more intellectual depth than you. Also, congrats on finding the "judge it" button. I guess this is an evolution of pettiness on your part. (Friday Apr 26 | post #315)

If your god exists, then he is necessarily bound by logic. Can he create an object so heavy that even he can't lift it? Can he make 2+2 equal anything but 4? Can he circumvent the law of substitution? Can he disprove DeMorgan's laws? You make completely asinine comments like this, without once applying critical thinking to them, then expect to be taken seriously. No, you try again. (Friday Apr 26 | post #311)

This whole post makes absolutely no sense. What bonus did you receive for making obvious spurious assumptions? And I'm still waiting for you to address my posts several pages back. Good job avoiding them thus far. (Friday Apr 26 | post #310)
Christianity, good, bad, fact, or fiction?
So you are making assumptions based on more of your assumptions? I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the level of intellectual dishonesty at this point. If you really want to research some interesting studies, why not start with the few that find strong correlation between lower IQ and religious belief? (Friday Apr 26 | post #302)

So then why are nearly 80% repeat offenders? (Friday Apr 26 | post #299)

It amazes me you can't see the glaring flaws in your reasoning. First, you didn't address his argument. God cannot be omnipotent, omniscience, and omnibenevolent. You can pick two, but having all three creates a contradiction. Second, if God knows what decisions you are going to make, then he knows if you are going to hell or not even before you were born. If he knew you were going to hell, he essentially created you to go to hell (how is that love or just?). It also means he isn't waiting on anyone to come to him, because he already knows who will and who won't. Also, if what you say is true, then the self-sacrifice is completely useless (not to mention not even a sacrifice). Thirdly, if God created Adam and Eve (since I'm guessing you believe that literally), then he knew they would create sin even before he created them. Thus, God created sin. Lastly, you cannot have Free Will if all of your decisions have been pre-determined. I can't wait to hear the mental gymnastics used to circumvent logic. (Thursday Apr 25 | post #287)
