How do you know?

Actually, it's not only my intelligence you insult by making such a statement but that of everyone here. Actually the more I use the word actually the more pompous I will get. Actually, your opinion is only worth as much as any one individual yet born on this Earth. Actually, you have said...

The mirror is also owned by one of the most disgusting human beings ever to walk this Earth, whose motivations are uniquely selfish and yet wide-reaching in our current time, and who also owns the site you quoted, and fox news. That is an auto-fail! This is a person worse than Hitler and more...

Which you do not quote. I will look for context, of course..

I intend to quote this every single time you take a Quran quote out of context from now-on and if I get bored, I might go over some old ground as well. Enjoy. :)

Christ would say otherwise. The OP has a point, not that suicide-bombing is justified, but that Islam is not the only religion whose adherents have felt such tactics are justified, Christianity included. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" Someone once said. A wise man...

Yes, it would be contrary to free speech. The fact is, that rape is committed by rapists, not Muslims. The Catholic church has not been banned. Evangelical Christianity has not been banned. It is immoral both in and out of Islam, and is Illegal in the UK. Unlike many religions, Islam...

I really think this has to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. I don't think anyone can honestly say that ALL suicide is wrong or that all suicide is fine. Having said that, YOU are the owner of your own body and either you believe in free will or you don't. If free will, it is your right...

Apologies if this has been said, it's a long thread and not one I am going to read from start to finish. I have several Muslim friends and am an atheist. Atheism is far worse in Islam than Christianity: At least Christians worship God and follow a prophet of God. And therefore the answer to...

Prove me wrong then! (but yes, joking. I'm not aware of anyone who really thinks lightbulbs suck dark. It's a fun one though) Can we all point and laugh at you now, ViaCrucis?

Oh hey, another way science is completely wrong. This rubbish about photons and stuff is just made up. There's no proof! OBVIOUSLY lightbulbs suck dark.

Those attributes being well beyond any limitation you might place upon him, and not something you have the ability to judge. Or are you divine yourself?

God is not subject to your judgement, by your lack of imagination, by what you consider to be moral or appropriate behaviour. If he was, he would not be a god. What is being attacked or debated in such conversations is not God's majesty, but yours. God is perfectly well able to defend himself...

Ah ok, important distinction. So on the decline in The well Developed World, on the Increase overall. Could this be the result of increasing disparity between the poorest and richest of those societies, with accompanying poor education, fear, etc and also the movement of people globally...

Well yes, that's entirely true. I actually got into a bad habit of doing that through annoyance at being told what atheists think and address people of any religion as theists.. There are countless brands of atheism too, and most atheists are in effect non-denominational or hedge-atheists in...

And yet a lower rate than those of non-religious persuasion, and a higher morality rate at the same time. I covered all of this.

I am sorry, but you have skipped over the entire point of me posting: If you DO take literally the accounts in genesis Ch1 and 2, there is a conflict of information. In one, mankind is made after the beasts, in another Adam (man) is made before the beasts. Either one of those accounts is not...

If that gave them any kind of advantage in life that was not outweighed by the disadvantages such a person might suffer, sure. The thing is, I can think of other reasons why we might evolve that way just using the mechanisms we already know about. After all, we did evolve the amount of...

Ah, yes... well it's not scientific, no. But it's a hypothesis and we're all free to have those unless something utterly disproves it, just as we are perfectly free to hypothesize that there's a god or gods. Your idea doesn't sound all that unlikely to me. Epigenetics wasn't more than...

For the sake of clarity, are you saying you believe Evolution, but not natural selection?
