    Questions about the bible?

    I frequently have sex with my wife. I'm fairly sure that this is Biblicly sound. Sex with anyone not my wife would not be. P.S. I know I really shouldn't be feeding you but your trolling is so bad I actually feel kind of sorry for you.

    Men, how do you manage to play video games and spend time with family?

    This is true. How are women supposed to play video games? Unless of course they're learning to read... Which would naturally lead to all kinds of trouble. Before you know it they'll be asking to vote and work etc... To the OP, I generally play with my wife. Sometimes when I am wanting to play...

    Is your faith yours? Or your parents?

    In reference to the OP... Alas poor OP we knew you well... I was raised evangelical Christian during my early years. My parents converted to messianic Judaism in my early teens which was fairly interesting. We wound up in a very cultlike environment (not that Messianic Judaism is a cult; but...

    Playing Games...no, not that...the real kind.

    If your kids are getting into their teenage years Avalon Hill makes some incredibly involved strategy games that are really fun to play, and have much more depth than most board games. For fun smallish board games there are probably too many options to count. I know that when I was young...

    Make a wish...

    Can you recommend some good Christian music?

    Lamb also, they're one of the only Christian bands I know that are sound theologically and don't also suck severely when compared to secular counterparts. Although they're kind of folksy bluesy so you'd have to be into that style of music.

    Book Suggestions for New Believers in High School?

    I read some Thomas Aquinas at that age it influenced my thinking a lot. C.S. Lewis has a lot of good stuff. I mean a lot would depend on exactly what they're looking for. Thomas Aquinas is pretty heavy on the hardcore reader side (difficult to read, complex concepts, translated from archaic...

    23 and no career. No college. Feeling helpless =/

    If you're looking into Law Enforcement the military can do a lot to help. It is a pretty difficult life though in other ways and you need to be able to put up with a LOT of BS. That would be my recommendation, if law enforcement is your eventual goal. If it's not then there are a lot of other...

    today

    Better than dropping your keys down an elevator shaft. Which was a really really unpleasant morning for me a couple months back.

    We Created Creationism

    There are no laws that have not been observed and cannot be repeatedly observed, that's what allows scientists to classify something as a law. Evolution is in my opinion a fact, but it is definitely a moot point. I have again seen many poorly written arguments against evolution, but there are...

    Can't relate to people my own age

    In all fairness to English, or at least Americanized English, or rather slang Americanized English calling a town ghetto in most places in America would imply a certain caliber of people living in it. That would be druggies and the like. Yes it is possible to live in a small town with no on to...

    Inerrancy of the Bible

    As a method of determining accuracy to the original autographs, yes. As a valuable tool, no. There is still significant merit in examining and comparing the documents we do have. However, we should still be aware of the limitations of such a methodology and they are significant. Because we have...

    Inerrancy of the Bible

    It is impossible to compare a document you have to one you don't. Any methodology that claims to be capable of doing this is bunk, that's pretty much the way it is. You can compare to the earliest or best manuscript and that can give you a really good picture, but there is no way to know how...

    Can't relate to people my own age

    Calling people "ghetto" is always a very very bad start. If you think that you are better than most people then they will not want to be around you, it's a simple as that. If you are better than them (in actuality) then you shouldn't need to hang out with them. You could probably try to find a...

    We Created Creationism

    I believe in evolution. However it is far from a scientific law, given that it has not been observed the number of times that would be required for that. There are very few postulates that actually get to be scientific laws, for example the law of gravity. The only way something can be a...

    Inerrancy of the Bible

    Which is odd because when I converted to Catholicism as an adult, I specifically asked my Priest about this matter as it was one of the huge rifts I had with the protestant Church and was told that Catholics did not believe that the Bible was without error. The stance regarding the original...

    Inerrancy of the Bible

    Show me your original source document for the Bible and prove it. Given that we do not have the original autographs it is impossible to prove that.

    How to make an Atheist

    I meant to say that it one's choice what sources of evidence that they take into account. Also it is one's choice (typically) as to what evidence you decide to trust or believe. Additionally just because Spinoza, Descartes, or Thomas Aquinas said something doesn't make it true, an interesting...

    How to make an Atheist

    Yes. You choose which of two sides to believe in the case that there is equal or indeterminate evidence for both sides. If you don't think that the evidence that the moon is not made of green cheese is authentic or sufficiently authentic then you could in fact believe that. Just because a belief...
