A bit off topic...but I'm sure I read somewhere the earth was shaped like an egg or a pear or...something...well, it's not perfectly round. We should teach that as well ^^ I just love how everyone writes what I want to say before I do. I agree with Arikay and the rest. Creationsim/ID...

How does that prove the research on homosexuality is clearly based on public opinion rather than facts? If you stand by this, then you admit your own research is biased. I could say people who offer anti-homosexual evidence are doing so based on public opinion just as easily as you could say...

I'm more of a philosopher and anthropologist/ethnologist than a scientist. However, I can honestly say the scientist 'part' of me is Agnostic. I'm a rather spiritual/religious person, but I try not to let my personal opinions get in the way. Not that they never factor in. I do try to back them...

Such things seem silly, though. It's like...Ok...say 80% of the American Population is obese (I just made up the number for the record). Just because the majority of Americans are obese, should I believe that being an American makes you obese and that all Americans are are the fast track to...

Simple. You just have to know the html code. put (QUOTE) Message you want quoted (/QUOTE) Except but [ ]'s in place of the ( ) 's Also, there's a button on the bottom of each post that says 'quote' and will quote the whole message for you, but if you want to break it up you have to...

Some people do. A lot of people (including on this board) are fans of the "God controls evolution" theory.

No. Science is Agnostic.

There is a difference between not liking and hating. I don't hate anything or anyone. Think of it on a scale...is the best way I can explain it, I suppose. I've yet to reach 'hate' on the scale. I think Spiders are fasinating and useful creatures. XD I just prefer we stay away from...

I don't hate spiders at all. Just because something frightens me doesn't mean I have to hate it. That's absurd. I'm simply saying it is pointless for me to hate spiders simply because I have a phobia of them. They don't mean to frighten me and if one bit me it would only be in defense. I...

I found this and thought it interesting: It's a basic principle; you have spiritual freedom, but not to the point of harming your self or others. Compare this to several of Jesus' teachings. Matthew tells us that Jesus was so committed to the principle of non-harm that he regarded the intent...

True morality should work to the benefit of all. If something doesn't feel right, don't do it. Why? I was just joking before. ^^ And what I said was entirely true, btw. Not everyone thinks that way, but there are many who do. There are those who have the 'hate the sin, not the...

*giggles* Sorry..you said 'falls short of true morality' and your example was someone tripping (yes, I'm that tired right now. anything is funny). Anyway, it depends on how you define true morality. Who's moral standards are you talking about? I think it's safe to assume you mean Christian...

Jedi: That's because there is a rational reason why you should be mad at the man who tripped you/tried to trip you. There's no rational reason to hate homosexuals. There may be one to dislike homosexuality, but that's only opinion. Of course, when dealing with the Bible anything is...

blindfaith: I meant certain reproductive organs. what words are we allowed to use in place of them, then? Personally, I'd rather my children use the correct terms/read the correct terms. Bleeping them out makes it sound like they are dirty words...and there are much dirtier words that could...

I've solved the 'traditional marriage' problem. I think. Make them happy. Don't change the meaning of marriage. Make up a new word for gay marriages ^^

Why aren't we allowed to use medical terms here?

Jedi: The point was Christians can be free to hate homosexuals for being born that way. There's no reason for them to play the 'choice' card. I also said I agree that we aren't ruled by our 'urges'. I accept there is a moral code for us humans, but such codes are not set in stone. If...

JEDI: There are homosexuals who would disagree with you on that. But beside this topic, which is still in debate, it is irrelevant. Once again, innate desires are not necessarily moral desires. Simply because someone was born with some homosexual urges is no more an excuse to act out upon...

"Man shall not lie with man as he lies with woman. Is it an abomination." Does this mean it's OK to do it standing up? Sorry...couldn't resist. Anyway. I hate to disappoint most of you, but homosexuality is not a choice. Sexuality is innate. Always has been and chances are it...

I'm doing my bedroom. The walls are my problem. Like I said, I can come up with a different decoration scheme for every colour. My biggest fear is redecorating, then deciding I don't like it. I'm cursed with a thousand and one ideas XP
