Would you refresh my memory, please?I've posted before about why I'm church of england rather than atheist.
Now why would I consider you an atheist for any purpose?The difference to you would be essentially meaningless, so you can consider me an atheist for the purposes of this debate (by the way i hadn't seen greg's amended post when i replied).
All right, I'll have a quick go.Would you refresh my memory, please?
Then I take it your 'isn't life just too astonishing to be accidental' moments are more frequent than your 'the rest of the time I look at things dispassionately and come to atheistic conclusions' moments?The rest of the time I look at things dispassionately and come to atheistic conclusions.
No, I don't think so. Why, is that important to you?Then I take it your 'isn't life just too astonishing to be accidental' moments are more frequent than your 'the rest of the time I look at things dispassionately and come to atheistic conclusions' moments?
Well, I'm just wondering why you would use the Anglican icon over an Atheist icon if you only have momentary moods of 'life is too astonishing'.No, I don't think so. Why, is that important to you?
I don't think anglicans are going to worry very much about me targeting particularly obtuse creationists for ridicule here. I've noticed one or two anglicans targeting them myself. Besides, you may have noticed I leave most people alone and only lay into those who are clearly talking out of the back of their necks.Well, I'm just wondering why you would use the Anglican icon over an Atheist icon if you only have momentary moods of 'life is too astonishing'.
In any event, it's none of my business; but you might want to consider that you're giving Anglicans a bad name.
It makes you come across as a wolf in sheep's clothing.
No offense.
So this is your "talking out of the back of their necks", account. When people employ such peculiarities as writing "AV:" instead of leaving the default [quote=av..., its often a means of divergence and distraction so a speech pattern is not easily recognized or brought to mind in comparison with the host account. Funny you would choose to present yourself as an Anglican.Besides, you may have noticed I leave most people alone and only lay into those who are clearly talking out of the back of their necks.

(By the way, is English your first language?)

You simply select the "QUOTE" button underneath and to the right of the particular post you wish to address. You can then edit the post you are quoting if you wish and then respond after the quote. I often break up a quote or edit out the parts I am not responding to.
The unpardonable sin is not accepting the prompting of the Holy Ghost to turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins.
Nope -- no exceptions, no fine print, no hidden fees -- nothing.
Your church is celebrating what they don't believe in and you are critical of others for celebrating what they believe in? Is there no limit to being liberal?I don't think you would feel very at home in the church of England...
[FONT="]A QUARTER of Church of England clergy do not believe in the Virgin Birth of Christ, according to a new survey...However, most of those who expressed scepticism said they would conduct traditional Christmas services that emphasised the miraculous nature of Christ's birth, which is a vital part of the Nativity.[/FONT]
And yet, each Christian believes they're the one who's right, the True Christians (tm).
OK, then what is the origin of panspermia? The seeds of lives have to come from somewhere. So we have three ideas of origin: creation, evolution, and (multi)-abiogenesis. Is that right?
Creation = Spontaneous Generation.
The theory of geocentrism does not contradict the Scriptures anywhere that I know of; and neither does heliocentrism. The Bible is silent on those two subjects -- (that I know of).
That's news to me -- I certainly don't think heliocentrism is an essential part of Christian (Independent Baptist) theology.
If only Galileo and his ilk were teaching heliocentrism, but the mainstream scientific community was against him (esp. independent of the Catholic church), then I can understand the Catholic's position.
Keep in mind that the Catholic church placed Galileo under house arrest -- the best thing that could have happened to him, as it freed him up to concentrate on this new theory.
And in fact, the Catholic church encouraged him to continue his studies.
Yes, religion, in all its forms, ought to be kept out of schools.
Perhaps you are unaware of these:There appear to be parts of the Bible you are unaware of. Several OT verses say very plainly that the earth does not move. Job 26:7, I Chronicles 16:30, Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and Psalm 104:5.
