    Are OT laws barbaric?

    Then what are you talking about? Magic? Cause if your methods work, would you please round up all the Type I diabetics and heal their pancreases? Then publish your results.

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    Yeah, it has actually NEVER happened. There is a lot of research out there with scientists working out regeneration in vitro, which is really exciting, but it's no act of God - it's an act of man. As the technology stands right now, if you were on a Type I diabetes management team, you'd be...

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    The pancreatic islets do not normally regenerate. That is the only tissue that can make insulin, so when it is gone (like in Type I diabetics), it is gone for good. Maybe someday we'll come up with a way to re-grow the tissue, but the human body cannot do it on its own. You clearly don't know...

    What? Explain what you mean by this You're getting bogged down in semantics. "Therapeutic" abortions are abortions that are suggested by the mother's physician, and are reserved for instances where delivery could kill the mother. "Elective" abortions are the ones were the mother has decided...

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    How judgmental of you! When I said I am not convinced of the evidence, I didn't mean for Christianity. I meant for dispensationalism. I don't think the Bible is clear enough on the issue, and I think it's a concept that is mostly developed outside of the Bible. That's not a bad thing - the...

    She doesn't know the difference between Type I and Type II diabetes :doh:

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    No, I do, but I'm not convinced of the evidence. Not all Christians agree on this, by the way. There is no "set" doctrine. Way back in the day when Christianity diverged from Judaism, there was a lot of debate over this, especially as the canon was being formed. It's not as clear-cut as you...

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    Yes, this is the fundamental function of insulin. We'll see about that. Type I diabetes has a completely different cause than Type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is where insulin resistance plays a role, NOT Type I diabetes! Type I diabetes is the complete and utter lack of insulin secretion...

    How do atheists feel about altruism?

    I just think there are two big problems with this thread. #1) You pre-suppose that atheists don't behave altruistically, which is offensive and/or naive. Would you ever start a thread saying "Can Muslims be moral? I know they don't have Jesus, but can they be moral?" #2) Your reason for...

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    People cannot live without insulin. If you are a Type I diabetic and you don't take insulin, you will go into shock and die. End of story. Because you cannot grasp that simple reality, it is pointless for me to respond to any of your posts. You anti-medicine people really irritate me.

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    You think those things are worse than killing children for disobedience and killing homosexuals for no particular reason? Partial birth abortion is banned in the US. Therapeutic abortions need to remain legal, because that option needs to be available to women. And abortions in the case of...

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    Blah blah blah all you're doing here is pulling out a red herring with your self-proclaimed theological superiority. I can use big words too. You can rationalize it all you want, but your Old Testament is still a very brutal book by modern standards. Let me ask you once more. If the government...

    How do atheists feel about altruism?

    Ethics is not the study of things that are "right"...ethics is the study of "why things are right". Your ethical theory, based on these posts, would be a very hollow one. You only help others out of fear of God. How old are you? Because you're building your philosophy out of Duplo blocks. I...

    Are OT laws barbaric?

    Circumcision is NOT a slam-dunk "enhancement". A lot of the current research says that the pros and cons equal out, meaning it's up in the air. The pros are mostly pros for people who are sexually active, anyway. Circumcised people have a slightly reduced risk for a couple STDs, and that's about...

    It's from Arrested Development. Compared to AV, you have an absent sense of humor. At least AV is willing to dip into his soul and bring out some wit when the moment strikes him. You're all business.
