    Suffering on earth

    The Bible says in Romans 3 that all, everyone, fall short of the glory of God. All have sinned. Not one person on earth is completely righteous. So asking the question 'why do innocent people suffer' is a question already not grounded in biblical fact. You ask why God allows good people to...

    Sexual Sins

    Fantasy is not sinful. Fantasy about specific people is sinful. Thinking about having sex is not sinful. Thinking about having sex with specific people is sinful. Huge difference. One doesn't lead anywhere with anyone. The other can easily lead to you acting out and taking steps to have sex with...

    Premarital sex contradictions

    Yes. There was no real joining, just an arbitrary decision, likely because they're stranded. That's about as casual as you get. Evidence, please. Evidence, please. Yeah, you know, cuz' they didn't have any marriage ceremonies of their own...

    Modern Day Child Sacrifice and Perversion in America

    So do you have anything more discussive and personal to say, or are you just here to declare that abortion is wrong?

    Why is nudity wrong?

    Not really. You can't prove he has no morality. Plus, that's a really nasty assumption to make and it's why a lot of atheists want nothing to do with Christians. You just attacked him for no reason whatsoever.

    Why is nudity wrong?

    What you men struggle with is the conception of lust as given by mainline evangelical churches, not lust as it is in the Bible. Why blame the woman because you've started obsessing about getting her in bed? Lust isn't just desire for a woman, it's the intent to do something about it.

    Why is nudity wrong?

    Thank you for proving the point: It is symbolic, just like circumcision and communion. As such, being naked isn't a big deal. Sinning all the time is a big deal.

    Shootout In Federal Building

    And what would you like us to do about your technical problems? YOU started this topic and started complaining about GUNS in the WORKPLACE. I provided STATISTICS on GUNS in AMERICA and the relatively LOW FREQUENCY that GUNS are involved in VIOLENCE in AMERICA, let alone in the WORKPLACE, and...

    Shootout In Federal Building

    And you're basically ignoring his! Why accuse him of the very thing you're doing? You've danced around every single reply to the statistics you got from the site I gave you. Pot, meet kettle. You're both black.

    Shootout In Federal Building

    SO true. I work retail, and our company has 'lot security' where someone sits in their car in the middle of an empty parking lot with a walkie and their cell, and I don't get paid enough to run people with guns over.

    Shootout In Federal Building

    I also gave you additional statistics for 2007, which you have yet to address, and addressed that 2005 study. Again, a gun is a weapon only if there is intent to hurt someone with it. Please don't misrepresent the data I presented you. I don't see how any of that addressed the issue he raised...

    If we were cloned and our clone sin does that mean we have sinned too?

    General knowledge. The Greeks got their idea from the Egyptians, but the Greeks are far more well known because of their philosophers. You do know what dualism is? But if you must have a link... Where did my soul come from? « The Theology Review Immortal Soul What if aliens invaded tomorrow?

    If we were cloned and our clone sin does that mean we have sinned too?

    I didn't say it was stupid, I said it was pointless. Don't put words in my mouth. Except that the question's easy. Obviously our clone would be a different person than us, therefore, their sin is not our sin. A bigger question might be why people seem to think cloning isn't natural when it...

    Shootout In Federal Building

    Which means that the gun was not a weapon until immediately prior to the shooting when the guy started losing it. Yeah, and we don't know you've seen it without an actual picture (which could come from Google and be photoshopped). This is the internet. We're not just going to believe something...

    If we were cloned and our clone sin does that mean we have sinned too?

    I don't see the point in this question. Research on human cloning is currently illegal. Even among animals, clones are prone to health problems and a shorter life span. I find it doubtful that human cloning is going to happen anytime soon, let alone in our life time.

    Will the FBI shut down internet 3/8 ???

    A hacker is merely someone who is familiar with circumventing security protocols, sometimes for illicit use, sometimes for security purposes (you cannot create a good security system if you don't know how people can get into security systems), sometimes to raise awareness. Anonymous is more like...

    Shootout In Federal Building

    As you claimed earlier. You cited no sources and gave no evidence. And? Again, who's to say they won't grab a pen, a knife, a letter opener, a chair, a keyboard and start beating the snot out of people? Given the number of guns to the number of murders (14,748 for 2010, which is actually...

    Shootout In Federal Building

    Why bet on knowledge we don't have? For all we know, they had the guns because they WERE security. And how do you know this? In the city I live in, I went to the police station to report a possible sighting of a missing person and the officer that came out had her weapon on her person...

    Will the FBI shut down internet 3/8 ???

    My comment was typed! The only way you could possibly call it a curt comment is if you took it that way. They are not a virus. They are a hacktivist group with clear ideals: Internet freedom. They've done a lot of good besides shutting down government sites. It's a response to the ACTA. Do you...

    Shootout In Federal Building

    If someone is unstable and they have access to a gun, they're going to use it. Logic says you prevent the unstable person from working in a place that requires them to wear a gun and screen out the unstable people. Removing guns from federal buildings makes them vulnerable to robberies and...
