    Morality Is Relative

    I was just being facetious. I don't actually believe that... See my above post.

    Morality Is Relative

    The answer to all your questions is: "It just depends on the situation..."

    Morality Is Relative

    I don't know if anyone has said this, but just because the bible contradicts itself, does not mean that MORALITY or ETHICS itself is relative. I tend to take a somewhat utilitarian approach to ethics and morality, regardless of whether or not there is a God who cares about such matters...

    Pat Robertson Links Sharon Stroke, God's Wrath.

    I read one of Pat's books back when i was a christian where he said that he personally believed oral sex was morally wrong. If that doesn't prove that man is completely insane, I don't know what does.

    Are children punished for their parents' sins?

    Angel4Truth, no offense but you seem to be pushing very hard for the bible not to be saying something bad about God. Even other Christians have stated that I have a valid point about this verse. Also, if by "all the verses in context" you mean the entire bible, then i don't buy that. One...

    Is magic moral?

    You completely missed the point. I wasn't talking about things like trickery or science. Go reread my earlier post (page 2) I'm asking a "what if" type question. What if what we called "magic" was something along the lines of "psychic phenomenon" and actually due to something in the...

    Checking Out the Body

    Thats because your concept of god is "the cosmic perfectionist" Even one sin in a lifetime merits an eternity of hell, correct?

    Are children punished for their parents' sins?

    The bible/christianity makes it at least appear that God does change his mind about certain things. For example, there are passages in the bible that make it seem like its ok to have multiple wives, but now you can't. In Genesis, adam and eve's children would have had to have sex with each...

    Are children punished for their parents' sins?

    First, if that is the case that God is talking about the childrens' sins of hating Him, why talk about limiting that punishment to the 3rd or 4th generation? Why mention the fathers' sins or the upcoming generations at all, if its only the sinner committing the sin that is important? And why...

    Is magic moral?

    Is it wrong to rely on your skills to keep you employed when you go to work (relying on self) or wrong to rely on things like technology to keep us healthy and comfortable? Lets put it this way: I know most of you christians assume that if there is magic, it comes from demons, satan, etc...

    Is this Good Advice?

    I think I agree with that to some extent, even though I'm not a christian. If you already believe in Christ and Christianity, you should be able to take some things for granted, even though you may not fully understand them. Some things are going to be inherently mysterious, such as the...

    Checking Out the Body

    I was about to ask the same thing. How do Christians define lust versus mere sexual attraction. If there was no sexual desire or attraction, then there would be little incentive to marry. At what point does sexual desire become lust?

    Are children punished for their parents' sins?

    Thats great, and I was aware of verse you quoted, but Deuteronomy 24:16 directly contradicts the verse I quoted, which doesn't make the Bible any more reliable and certainly not inerrant since it contradicts itself. As far as 1 John 2, its also nice, but I fail to see how that is relevent to...

    Are children punished for their parents' sins?

    Angel, I think we are both mixing two different issues, and I apologize if my last post made that confusing. The first issue was whether this quote should be taken literally. Some have suggested that this text is sort of “symbolic” and simply describing how children often suffer for...

    Hermaphrodites

    What I'm saying is, who is to decide which gender that person is supposed to lean towards, if they have both organs? There have been cases where hermaphrodites were raised female, consider themselves female, have had their male organs removed shortly after birth, but are genetically male. IF...
