There is one big flaw in this argument. Which is that same sex couples adopt kids that would have never had a mommy or a daddy to begin with. So let's compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges. It's not like same sex couples will take a child from another family that already has a...

It's about time, the GDP and worker productivity have gone up for decades while the minimum wage hasn't gone up in tandem with it. It's unfortunate that they have taken so long to start to embrace this long needed wage hike.

A new study by the Pew Research Center shows a sharp drop in the number of American Christians -- from 78% of the population to 71% in seven years-- mainly because millennials are leaving the fold. Just 56% of millennials consider themselves Christians. Meanwhile, religiously unaffiliated...

I am sorry you feel that way. But it's the Gorilla in the room right now, since the heathen have emotions, feelings, and aspirations which have values tied to them. And those values are all tallied up on judgment day, and if I am sentenced to eternal damnation, then this life was nothing in the...

To answer my questions. Just search for 1) 2) and so on. I have have a lot of typing ahead, so I will break it down fast. Even if we changed all the places in my metaphor, to "believe", and "do the types of works we do." Then it still would not take away from the unreasonableness, absurdity...

Part 2 Wow that is a great question. One of the most creative questions I’ve seen on this thread so far I think. Well I have been researching NDEs (Near Death Experiences). In these NDE’s people people can go off into the afterlife then come back after being revived. So we have...

Part 1 To answer my questions. Just search for 1) 2) and so on. No, but I am talking about the techniques of meditation themselves. Which are in almost every religion, other than the Abrahamic religions. Except the minor religions. We would have meditation in the Abrahamic religions more, but...

Part 2 I felt God’s presence the other day when I meditated. I’ve been moving closer to God for the last 4 years by meditating. I’ve made so much progress. The other day I started to merge with what some people call it the christ consciousness. I prefer the more scientific term, the unified...

Part 1 I hope I am not getting myself into too much at once. If you want to answer some of the other things that I rebuttaled you can do that even if it’s not numbered. To answer my questions. Just search for 1) 2) and so on. I might kind of agree with you here. But no doubt...

Thanks, I think you mean criticisms BTW. OK I can change it to say "God" and "what the bible says", instead of "keys" and "them" in a few places. That shouldn’t take away from the apparent absurdity of it. Well let’s look at the evidence. What do you got? I will actually consider...

That makes more sense doomsayer. I mean a finite crime can never justify for an infinite torment. That is a better way of seeing it. Although this would bring up other questions, as to the nature of our souls, and even God himself. I have personally seriously contemplated annihilism before. And...

I don''t understand, can you please explain yourself?

This is what you are talking about. John 3:16 Amplified Bible “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but...

Yeah that was James that said that. James was Jesus’ brother. And he was closest to Jesus and his teachings. Where is this scripture you are trying to talk about? As I understand it, James and Paul both had different ideas as to the nature of faith and who is saved. Since they both say...

Technically, Ideologically, and Metaphorically speaking I think christians believe this metaphor bellow. Why would I be wrong? I can give you the keys of everlasting life, but if you don't believe them, then my friend will have to let you suffer forever in fire. Since he is loves you, and...

I will say this,that traditionally many christains have believed that we are born into sin. Since our very nature is sinful. But many christains these days are questing this. And changing their beliefs on it. I mean that is really tough to tell a child that it's very nature is bad and sinful and...

So I get the idea. Well this all just comes down to personal differences. Neither one of us can say with absolute certainty that we are right. You may be right but I just doubt it. And I am leaving it at that. We can debate this all day. But this is not my field. So with that I am going to end...
