    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    Historical sources suggest that the hymen test was common. No historical source suggests they discovered a method superior to our own. Most girls have sex before they marry. Ergo, if the law were actually applied most girls would be stoned to death. It only does not happen because people...

    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    If you don't remember your own then why do you think you have the right to answer questions on the subject? No, troll, gravity (in newtonian mechanics) is a force that does work over a distance. How does this have anything to do with your claim that gravity has a "color"?

    The missionary paradox

    But it isn't, because God is supposed to be omnipotent. [/FONT][/SIZE]

    The missionary paradox

    Original sin suggests that we are born with sin before we even have a chance to sin ourselves. It's guilt by association passed down through thousands of generations. BTW, are you suggesting that "not being perfect" justifies being tortured for all eternity? That doesn't really make any...

    5 Questions for Creationists

    So you're back to criticizing science for not having all the answers? Like, "God of the Gaps" repeated yet again, because you never learn that this argument has never worked in its history? Oh, look again, you deny that you're talking about evolution, but then you bring it up in the next...

    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    It can. This does not mean that it contains energy. If you would learn some middle school physics, your arrogant and snide manner of posting would at least be somewhat less pathetic and little bit more annoying. Right now, my chair is exerting nearly a thousand newtons of force on myself, but...

    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    No, it's an unreasonable expectation on God's part; God is who I am criticizing, not the Israelites. God knew that the methods available to man at the time to test virginity led to numerous innocent convictions, so he should have either given them a reliable testing mechanism (which still would...

    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    No. The hymen test is worse than useless, it leads to false positives that, in this "justice" system, lead to torturous deaths. All you're establishing is that the law wasn't too bad because it was never really implemented. And you think it's OK to threaten death by stoning to curb "sexual...

    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    Actually, no, I would not, presuming that these children are not yet born. But let's say I change my answer to "yes" - why don't you get to the point, because your condescending and horribly disjointed mode of revealing The Truth, of which you clearly have an overinflated sense of your own...

    5 Questions for Creationists

    Did you even bother to read what I just wrote to you? Evolutionary theory does not address the issue of the origin of life. But go ahead and cherry pick a singular, vague instance of Genesis accurately predicting something and ignoring, say, Genesis's claim that the plants were created before...

    What is hell like?

    Any person who would not feel utter disgust at such a sight deserves to be a part of it.

    "Oh he's a throwback to his great-grandape" something wrong with this picture?

    Backpedaling much? They won't be working tails - it took however many tens/hundreds/thousands of thousands of years for monkeys (apes don't have tails :wave:) to evolve such organs through extensive trial and error, and clearly we phased them out - what is the probability that such an intricate...

    The missionary paradox

    So I assume you dismiss the concept of original sin? But why would God create humans with (compared with him) infinitesimal intellect and natural, involuntary emotions he then ridiculously turns around and labels as sins, and then judge us by his own standards? He, not having any of these...

    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    aiki, that you actually believe that you can reliably test a woman's virginity by examining her hymen leads me to think you probably believe in spontaneous combustion theory as well. The presence of a hymen usually indicates virginity; the frightening part is that the inverse is not true, and...

    5 Questions for Creationists

    You don't know what you're talking about. Evolution by natural selection does not deal with the origin but rather the evolution of life; this is like criticizing general relativity for not explaining the propagation of cancer cells.

    5 Questions for Creationists

    lol I just saw these. You don't answer the question...how do you explain the fossil record? God erased all homo sapiens from the time of australopithecus up till around 100,000 years ago, then proceeded to do so for each species of hominid so as to give the appearance that they lived in...

    The missionary paradox

    How is that fair? Only if you leave out the part that God is supposedly omnipotent. Christians believe he's OK with contacting you spiritually, so why is it that he strangely only ever does this to people who have already been exposed to Christianity through mortal means? It seems strangely...

    Is God necessary to explain anything?

    This is like saying that without flying unicorns there is no answer to the question of what color is gravity. I still await your continuation of that argument I had quoted earlier, the one where you claim that gravity is an "energy" and therefore must have a color. :D

    Dubious verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy

    Please give me the justification without the sophistic embellishments. Why is it "necessary" to stone non-virgins to death, and why is it that God never shows any remorse over such "necessary" evils, and why does he never bother to clarify the situational necessity of the action for another few...
