    War in Georgia

    What is everyone thinking about the current war in Georgia? Is Georgia justified in attacking the 2 provinces which broke away into autonomous regions in the early 1990's? Is the Russian response appropriate? Is the international community correct in its condemnation of the Russian offensive? Is...

    If my fathers sperm had fertilized your mothers egg...

    I thought of this idea just now and it is boggling my mind lol. Say that my fathers sperm, instead of having fertilized my mothers egg, had fertilized your mothers egg. Would I still be me? Would you still be you? Would the human being that was created have your consciousness as well as mine...

    Is Happiness the ultimate state of being?

    I believe it is. I think many Christians will also agree. The idea of heaven is basically about enjoying life and being perfectly happy. Heaven also seems to be the end of the road, so it must be the ultimate state of being according to the bible. If you don't think happiness is the ultmate...

    Is our God in jail?

    A friend of mine brought up the possibility that God could be behind bars. There may be a vast number of beings in existance that have a great amount of power, let's call them gods. They may assemble together and create laws and moral standards and such. Maybe our God broke one too many rules...

    Something Deeper than God

    Perhaps there is something even greater and deeper than even God. This something may be what God and we ourselves may actually be dependant on. Maybe there are a set of rules that govern the way things are. This set of rules may not be changed by any powers, neither by ourselves or even beings...

    Romantic kissing between 2 men/women - does the bible condemn it?

    I am wondering what Christians believe on the matter of same-sex romantic kissing. Does the bible condemn it? If yes, cite the passage(s). If the bible does not condemn it, but you still think its wrong, why do you think its wrong? If the bible does condemn it, but you think same-sex...

    voting - should there be restrictions?

    Should people of really limited intelligence be allowed to vote? Should people comletely uninformed about the current political situation be allowed to vote? Should naive people be allowed to vote? Should jealous, hating people be allowed to vote, even though they may hate the person they are...

    Infinity

    I was thinking the other day about the possibility that space is infinite. Imagine looking into the sky, choosing a direction to go, and then setting off and going in that direction forever and ever. You would never reach the end. Even if you travelled extremely fast (say at the speed of light...

    what is your philosophy?

    Before CF's crash there was a thread titled "what is your philosophy". Can't recall who wrote it, but in any case I will resurrect it with the proper credit going to whoever it was that initiallty created it. Please don't use any quotes from religious texts but instead just use your own words...

    Noah's Ark: collecting indigenous species then dropping them off

    Did Noah travel all over the world to pick up every single species? And after the flood, did Noah travel all over the world again and drop off these species in the places they were before? Say, did he travel to New Zealand before the flood, picked up every indigenous species found no where else...

    Pride - is it wrong?

    Is pride wrong? Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. I'm not Christian, but I happen to agree with the bible that Pride is a negative trait to have. It makes people...

    One world, one religion

    Would the world be a good place to live if all of us were of the same religion/set of beliefs? Although maybe not paradise, I think it would be a lot better than what we have now. It would definetly have to be a religion that would let people have hope in an afterlife and/or other such nice...

    Trust

    Do you think its a good idea to trust people you just met or should one be cautious? To what degree do you trust people that you have only just met? At what point in knowing the person do you trust them? Are you naturally inclined to trust some people if they have certain characteristics?

    Christian homosexuals in denial

    Why is it so often Christian homosexuals try to defend their sexuality as not being a sin when Jesus, the OT, Paul, etc., has stated that its a sin? leviticus 18:22 - Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. romans 1:26-27 - Because of this, God gave them over to...

    Nukes - are we doomed?

    When asked about using nukes against Iran, President Bush responded by saying "all options are on the table". Is he totally nuts? The use of nukes would spark world war 3 instantly. It would be total chaos. There would probably be nukes going off all over the world. I don't think it's a good...

    Why did God do this to us?

    [GENESIS 11] Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come...

    the ethics of the final judgement

    I have often wondered what it would be like at the final judgement. I got to thinking the ethics of such a judgement. Will it be God personally judging you? Wouldn't He be biased based on his own agenda? How can we be sure that his judgements will be fair? God would apparently be judge and jury...
