    White People Banned from Black Lives Matter Meetings in Philadelphia

    As long as it's a private, non-government funded group, discrimination should be fine. If the reverse wouldn't be allowed(white group not accepting blacks) then that's a problem. Why? Because a standard inconsistently applied is no standard at all.

    The Wrongness of Social and Political Correctness

    I think first we should define what "Political Correctness" is so that people in this thread have a common understanding to work with. I roughly define "Political Correctness" as the general anti-freedom of speech/anti-male/anti-white/anti-tradition/anti-border beliefs currently dominating...

    Why do some Christians act so hostile toward questions?

    1. Different personality types among individual members. 2. Different knowledge level and debate strength among individual members. All groups will have a certain amount of variety in the reactions of their individual members. Be it Christians, Jews, Muslims, Communists, Ku Klux Klan, Black...

    Is this an example of victim blaming?

    Generally I think it's a philosophical conflict between punitive and preventive mindsets. Punitive people primarily focus on punishing the perpetrator. Preventive people primarily focus on preventing the perpetrator from having an opportunity. From a punitive person's perspective, a...

    Females arent attractive

    Similar? Yes. Same? No. If the two sexes exist for reproduction that would be a reason why they would find each other attractive. That idea supports the argument that women are attractive to men as oppose to unattractive. You've lumped two different questions or concerns together. 1. Are...

    Why do humans 'deserve' to be born sinners?

    Wait, my idea of purity and righteousness? I don't decide who gets into Heaven, we're talking about God's idea of righteousness because He decides that. The God who's will atheist don't care about. You said this... ... you brought up righteousness as a way to explain how faith is relevant...

    Why do humans 'deserve' to be born sinners?

    They have their own idea of what is righteous and it has nothing to do with the bible, at all. An atheist has no fear of God because there is no God to fear. So, again... if they can get into Heaven how does faith matter? No, that's agnostic. One who is doubtful or noncommittal about...

    Why do humans 'deserve' to be born sinners?

    Okay, but... how? An atheist is someone who says there is no God and cares not one bit about what He wants because the bible is a work of fiction. If he can get into Heaven what does faith have to do with it? If that is so... then why is faith important?

    Why do humans 'deserve' to be born sinners?

    Faith is important but... not really necessary? The belies... that they hold. Okay, but if they aren't right... you kinda have to fill in the blank with what is right. Because with the way you're talking it sounds like faith isn't necessary.

    Why do humans 'deserve' to be born sinners?

    If that's so, then ultimately... being saved has nothing to do with faith at all.

    Why are "pro-life" people also against gun control?

    Probably because they're two separate issues.

    Why people believe in hell

    BluhdoftheLamb, a bit of advice if you don't mind. Let go... it's okay. She simply doesn't believe.

    Why people believe in hell

    Possession, of people I'm familiar with. Was I delusional? No, I was not. Yes, there were plenty of people in the room to witness.

    Why people believe in hell

    It's in the Bible and I've personally seen demons manifest... that's good enough for me.
