    Your thoughts on this

    To me it seems like a perfect example of what a bit of falty logic coupled with a large number of paraphrased Bible verses can produce. Whilst you can understand a parent being concerned that their child may fall into the world of drugs etc. through these mediums, this is no reason for...

    Advice Needed

    Thanks for the advice! :) It has surprised me how insecure I actually am over the last couple of days which was a bit of a shock. I've managed through quite a lot of things in my life and I thought I was fairly bomb-proof... clearly I'm not.

    Advice Needed

    Hi, I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for quite a while considering my age - 6 years. Everything (as far as I was aware) was fine until today and I am now confused with all sorts of insecurities bubbling up! We both used to go to the same church and that is how we met and got...

    Global Warming

    Fair enough, just wanted to be sure. I think unfortunately most things to do with climate science gets over-sold as it is the science that everyone can see for themselves everyday - I also think that as far as the scientists go it is a destructive cycle as it seems that it is the one who shouts...

    Global Warming

    Have you got proof of that please? I am most certainly not accusing you of lying but I would like to see your source to analyse it for myself. I am currently trying to find a graph which contains both cosmic ray levels and temperature, I think this would be better to analyse this claim in...

    Global Warming

    interesting - I'm glad to actually be discussing this with someone who knows something of science! In the past I have received answers to these claims in a somewhat basic, irrelevant and insulting manner! I even had someone challenging me about the law of limiting factors in respect of...

    Global Warming

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology Wiki would disagree --- the composition of the atmosphere seems to be fairly constant in the current '3rd atmosphere'. Just to clarify - I am not saying that greenhouse gases have no effect, I am just saying that their effect is somewhat limited...

    Global Warming

    Hardly, the actual real opposition to the cause of GW comes from real scientists who actually receive very little funding. This is because most of these scientists don't exactly argue against CO2 having an effect on global temperatures they just argue that it has a limited effect. This is not...

    Global Warming

    Over the past 400,000 years yes I agree, I had actually misread that particular graph (was in a rush) for the temperature line being CO2 - doh! Anyway, consider the following graph for the last 550 (odd) million years: http://www.clearlight.com/~mhieb/WVFossils/PageMill_Images/image277.gif...

    Global Warming

    This so called 'fact' that all the scientists who oppose GW theory are funded by oil companies is actually completely untrue. The actual scientists who most prominently oppose the theory i.e by constructing different theories have most certainly never been offered any money from any of these...

    Gays Say they don't need Jesus

    That simply does not make sense. Why would a homosexual relationship be a form of idolatry? Please don't answer this with a quote but actually think about it yourself. Atheism causes harm to a person's relationship with God as obviously they reject His existence. It also causes harm to others as...

    Buddhists --- Sarira/ringsel?

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any detailed information on Sariras/ringsel? I heard about them and they seem very interesting in deed! Thanks, Dave

    Gays Say they don't need Jesus

    But sin does bother us! I am very much bothered by axe murderers and paedophiles. I am not talking about the Bible here, I am talking about the basic question - is there any ethical basis for homosexuality being immoral? Does it cause any harm?

    Minimum requirements for being a Christian

    The Nicene Creed states down the basics that the average Christian would be expected to believe - there are people who take exception to certain parts and hence would be classified as an unorthodox Christian. Personally I believe that only love and faith (to those who have had the opportunity to...

    Gays Say they don't need Jesus

    *holds up hand* I find the idea of gay sex disgusting personally as I am not gay. However, I also find the idea of my parent's having sex slightly nauseating or two people that I'm in no way attracted to 'at it'. Just because some people find it 'disgusting' does not make it wrong - disgust is a...
