    When atheists disagree about the Objectivity of Morality ... !

    When one atheist disagrees with another about morality, it sounds a little like what we find in the following video by atheist and Oxford graduate, Alex O'Conner (a.k.a. 'Cosmic Skeptic' on youtube). In the 20 minute video below, Alex takes a little umbrage with fellow atheist Sam Harris's view...

    There is something very strange about this young man. Are our children safe playing video games?

    I love watching youtube videos :) but sometimes I end up on the weird side of it. Which is where I found this: There is something very erie about the way this child talks. As warriors of Christ, we have to always protect our children from the devil. I just don't think video games are safe...

    Progressive evangelicals and same-sex marriage, clergy

    Here is a progressive evangelical's response to OT and NT injunctions forbidding homosexuality. It goes along this line: "Over time, God's revelation of proper conduct has changed. For example, in both the OT and NT, slavery is permitted and acknowledged to exist, but beginning with the 18th...

    Decades in decline

    Any thoughts on this? From Ravi Zacharias... “In the 1950s kids lost their innocence. They were liberated from their parents by well-paying jobs, cars, and lyrics in music that gave rise to a new term ---the generation gap. In the 1960s, kids lost their authority. It was a decade of...

    The inappropriate content Industry

    Do you think that the inappropriate content industry is part of the corruption within the United States of America? Sex, Money, Power, Drugs. Are these things part of the Evil corruption within America? I believe so, but that's just my opinion. What do you think? Wikipedia says; Around 2009, the U.S. inappropriate content...

    Are Gates And Walls Immoral?

    Are Gates and Walls Immoral? If you believe in God, and you answered yes, you might want to rethink that. Trump is building a wall on the Southern border, and many Democrats called it "immoral". But if those same Democrat Politicians, Liberal Fake News Media(ABC, NBC, CBS), and Democrat voters...

    Talk about Human Depravity … for Goodness Sake!

    While this OP won't be short, it will have a sharp point. As we all know from the daily news, or if you've just been lucky (or unlucky) enough to watch an episode of some Crime Drama, such as Criminal Minds, or have unfortunately endured a life full of dangerous people (I hope not!), we've had...

    As a rule, "partially right, most of the time" is moral.

    Hi there, So I wanted to present a model for morality that is different from utilitarianism and deontology. That model is simply: Essentially, it builds on an experience of trying to be moral. It does not need specific instructions or specific consequences, but adapts, within the confines of...

    Moral positions and One's status as a Christian

    I've considering for a while the importance of moral positions within Christianity and how they impact on whether or not we are or are not Christians. I believe there is general agreement about the baseline theological beliefs in the Trinity, the literal resurrection of Christ and the second...

    How can a "Christian" support same sex marriage?

    This is a question that I have been thinking about the last several days while discussing the topic on another thread. During the discussion, a "Christian" made a statement that it was "ignorant bigotry" to "keep someone from marrying the person they loved". This statement of course involved the...

    Which Perpetrator deserves our mercy: Preacher, Prostitute or Policeman?

    In the following video, you'll find a professional interview conducted with a prostitute. The interview took place a few decades ago, and for those who aren't familiar with her story, she was known to have been involved with a particular preacher and, at the same time, with a particular...

    Where do you get your morals from?

    As an atheist, I don't think that humans get a top down morality imposed on them from an outside source. Instead, human morality has been developed from the bottom up. Just like every other physical and mental trait that humans possess, our conscience has evolved because it has helped our...

    Why do some Christians claim that the Bible is pro-life, when it is clearly not?

    There are three reasons why I think that the Bible is not pro-life: 1)The Bible never explicitly condemns abortion Exodus and Leviticus have extensive lists of laws and regulations ranging from sacrifices to the Lord, diet…childbirth, children’s relationship with parents, women’s uncleanness...

    Why would a benevolent god condone slavery?

    Overview The bible explicitly endorses two types of slavery....indentured servitude (for Hebrews) and chattel slavery (for non-Hebrews). With indentured servitude, a person voluntarily agreed to sell his labor to his master for a temporary period of time after which the servant would be granted...

    Moral Outrage/Righteous Indignation--When is it appropriate???

    Sometimes in this life, we open our eyes to the world around us and we see ethical inconsistencies and feel like we exist in some kind of moral and/or social disequilibrium. I suppose this is the case for just about any person, from any background, and of any political leaning, and it can be...
