    What's wrong with blasphemy?

    Apparently I'm unable to post in the other thread of the same name, as only one non-Christian poster is allowed to post in it (that single poster being the OP) so I will start this thread on the topic in order to ponder blasphemy. Does any believer consider that accepting blasphemy as possible...

    Socialist Worker protests socialist policy?

    Ok I'm probably wrong here, but I saw recently on the news that the Socialist Workers Party organised a protest in response to the plan to bail out the institutions involved in the current financial crisis, but... Isn't the bail out quite a socialist policy? Does it differ to the idea of...

    Student booted from school after refusing to recite Pledge of Allegiance

    I'm a little baffled by this. Must you recite the pledge of allegiance in order to qualify for an education? Should that be so? There's no such thing over here in the UK. The teachers would be rather embarrased to enforce it and the kids would just muck about through the entire thing. I...

    How Does Orthodoxy Differ?

    Can anybody help explain to me the Orthodox beliefs? I am an atheist and a friend of mine assures me that the Orthodox faith is much better thought out than the other main Christian denominations. My friend claims I will find far less problematic within this faith. I must admit I'm not...

    The Noah's Flood Story

    If this thread is in the wrong place please move it! I am putting this question here at a friends request, it is also in General Apologetics. I'm not sure if you guys consider the Noaic (sp?) flood a literal event or not, if you do this question may be moot. Do you consider it literal...

    Proof that God exists?

    Here's an interesting website purporting to prove without a doubt God's existence. It's a series of questions designed to lead you to that conclusion. http://www.proofthatgodexists.org/ Of course if you don't give the right answers it leads you nowhere. It's an interesting philosophical...

    Pupils 'to take allegiance oath'

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7287984.stm What do we think? Is this a good idea? Personally I can't see the kids taking to it. There certainly weren't many royalists in my school. Maybe it'll become just another thing the kids do and promptly forget about.

    Government loses faith in growth of religious schools.

    Why are creationists always wrong?

    In several years following this debate I have noticed a bit of a trend. I have lost count of the many times I have seen threads posted on message boards proclaiming some sort of final and irrefutable refutation of evolution. There are some on this board at this very moment. Yet upon reading...

    European Music.

    What can we say about European music? Is there something that defines us? What is the music like in your country? Is it traditional? Is your local music being usurped by the MTV corporate machine?
