So the Church decided what's divine and what isn't? What method did they use? The Church is comprised of regular faulty human beings, did they have some special power that helps them figure out what is the word of God?

A geniune choice would have been for your God to show himself to everyone--so we would all know that Your God is real. Then if we had choosen to sin and disobey God--that would be more reasonable. But what we have is a world that does not support a sentient omni-max God, and a plethora of other...

If God knows exactly what will happen, then aren't we bound to follow that? It is the illusion of free will because we feel in control because the future is unknown to us. What is the difference between free will and just will?

Yep, of course I would :)

Awesome post, reps 4 you.

I agree with what Arnold said, I don't see homosexuals being anymore spiritual then straight people. Personally I would consider myself spiritual, but my girlfriend isn't at all.

True, sorry I was getting more at Jesus as God. Since Muslims don't accept Jesus as a savior and God/Son of God....

Being Atheist means simply rejecting a claim. A theist claims God(s) exists, Atheists reject this claim until further credible evidence is found. They don't need to tell you how the Universe was created or how life began. Just because you don't believe in a God, doesn't make life meaningless...

"Logic has very little to do with an ungracious attitude. But for the Grace of God are any of us here today. When I can live a day without sinning, I'll become concerned with what is and isnt "sin" and who does it and doesnt do it. So I guess I'll leave it till tomorrow..." Yup, you both...

I believe that she has a right to know, it wouldn't be fair for her to possibly find out later on after you both got married. She may possibly break it off, but I don't think you should keep that big of a secret from her. If you both honestly love each other, then you should be able to confide...

:yawn: Woke up at 1:39 am. Felt a bit groggy, can't get back to sleep.. :\

Assuming it is allowed to grow...but since these embryos are going to be thrown away and that's a certainity, then it wouldn't have any potential. All other possibilities would be eliminated..

The traditional view of family:Mother, Father and Child(ren) is not the majority. There are plently of children that grow up with one parent, a step-parent, or relatives. The 'picture perfect' family doesn't always happen. Why shouldn't homosexuals couples be allowed to adopt? If you...

Could you explain to me how it has the potential to be a human being? These embryos are going to be thrown away.

:amen:

I don't think we should ever ban abortion, but (like many posters said before) find out the root of the problem and fix that. If we did that then the amount of abortions would gradually subside until it becomes a rare occurence. Not too many people ask WHY this is happening, and actually want to...

Are you kidding with this crap? Why do people insist on using Leviticus to condemn homosexuality? Why continue to pick and choose out verses to suit your bigotry? If you want to follow Leviticus then Christians can't eat rare meat, pig, rabbit, shellfish, curse parents, wear clothing that are...

That's a flat out lie and you know it.

This is the kind of stuff that seriously makes me angry, it's Completely wrong. I don't even know what to say about all this. It's really sickening.
