If the Bible condemned interracial marriage as immoral, would you therefore let it govern your behavior in this area?

Ah how embarassing. Yes, of course it would be moot, thanks for pointing out my mistake, although the condescending dictionary reference certainly wasn't appreciated. I know the difference, twas merely a slip-up.:doh: As for the morality of things, I don't do things just because they are...

"Moral" or not, that certainly wouldn't stop me. ;) There really aren't definitive races anyway, so it's a moot point. *minor spelling error edited

I agree. Those are all excellent ways to improve onself. At to the other question, "What is life to you?": I don't know exactly what life is, but I'm going to do what I can to make the best of it. :D

I don't think it's morally or ethically wrong at all. Certainly one should be responsible whenever one has sex, whether one is married or not.

Kerry by a long shot.

Ah, I see. So God created us imperfect, but the blame still lies on us. Interesting... Next time I get a bad grade on a paper, I'll be sure to tell my professor that it wasn't my fault, but that the paper itself is to blame.

Not meant for today, eh? So are you going to tell me all the bloodshed in the Middle East is over sand?

I dig the avatar, Kittykatgrizabella. :thumbsup: As for me, I'm an atheist. :)

I agree wholeheartedly. Deism is something I both admire and respect. They are wonderful allies in the freethought community and extremely logical and intelligent people. I have no interest in attacking the Deist POV.

For those of you who believe in Christianity: Lets say what appeared to be God came to you in a vision, and told you that you are following the wrong path, that Christianity is not the way and that you are not following the true word of God. Would you interpret this to be God afterall, who is...

forgivenmuch, what do you hope to accomplish with this post? Just think about it. Do you really hope to acheive positive communication through basically saying "My God is better than yours. Deal with it."?

I am an atheist and do not believe such things. If the Universe has always existed in one form or another, whether it is linear and infinite, or some sort of loop, it avoids both paradoxes. That which has always existed needs no Creator nor creation.

Your thread only lends even more credit to Darwin. He didn't ignore the possible problems regarding his theroy, he addressed them so that further work could be done on evolution to see if it stands the test of repeated scientific experimentation. Darwin did not use a pre-arrived conclusion...

I couldn't have said it better myself. However, naturally I don't believe in God, nor do I believe in Good and Evil and therefore any system of punishment/reward, so it's not something which concerns me.

Be straightforward about what you believe. Tell them your beliefs do not change your love for them and that you should hope it works the other way around. After all, they are commanded by the Bible to love even their enemies, so loving their daughter cannot be so hard to fathom for them. It's...

It reminds me of something somebody once said (I have no idea who) saying that a Deist is pretty much an atheist who believes in God. ;) Truly a fine poem, by the way. Props to you! :thumbsup:

Wicca is ok in my book, although I've got to say it certainly isn't my cup of tea. However, I'd certainly be a Wiccan before a Christian, that's for sure. :) Then again, I don't really believe in Good and Evil aside from mere terms of describing what is and is not good for mankind and...

Jesus killed that poor snake. Snakes are awesome. Therefore I cannot love him. A shame, too - I was this close to conversion. ;)

Please explain yourself, I have no idea what you are talking about. What is this thing you are talking about which God allows but does not condone?
