You do not get to decide for others what convincing evidence is. You think what you have is convincing, that is why you believe God exists. I do not think it is convincing. If that is all you have then ok, thanks for the effort.
No, I already demonstrated His existence earlier in this thread.
Agreed and your point is?
A woman is a female human and a girl is a female human and an embryo with two XX chromosomes is a female human. What is your science to the contrary?
It depends if my personhood went with my brain. If so, then I would be in China. If not, then I would be in the USA. Personhood is nonphysical though partially produced by physical processes so most likely I would be in China. If a female transgender's brain was put in your body would you be male or female?
You never refuted my demonstration.
There is historical and archaeological evidence that the Bible is accurate.
Most of the ones I have encountered were socialists or at least leaned in that direction.
No, the vast majority of Christians that accept the historical view regarding an infallible authority of the Bible agree with me and each other about the essentials.
I did not say my feelings were objective.
Well, Ed, it's been fun, but I haven't got the time or patience to correct you any longer. If you think that a fetus is a woman, a humanist is a socialist or that you have already shown that God exists, you're only fooling yourself.
Ok,but your claims about evolution were refuted in that thread.
God does not threaten hell, He warns about it. The biggest difference is that God warns you about hell out of selfless love, the mafia threatens punishment and demands compliance in order to selfishly get something out of you that he wants or needs. God has no needs so needs nothing from you nor demands compliance from you. He loves you and wants to you to spend eternity with Him out of your own free will and choice.
Why doesn't he just get rid of it?
Some places, yes. Some place, not so much.
Yes, the moral conscience can very widely, that is why you need to anchor your morality in the objectiev moral character of the Creator of the Universe who created the moral laws of the universe. Reason and conscience can lead you anywhere morally. Lenin thought he was very reasonable and so did his followers and look what he led to.
Humans are not Mr. Spock, our reason is often controlled by our feelings as well. See above about Lenin. Using pure reason in moral decisions often leads to using people as a means to an end. If all you want to have is fun, then it is very reasonable to abort your child when you get pregnant but is it the moral thing to do?
You write this in response to the discussion where I was explaining to you that Christians vary widely on morals. Some Christians think drinking beer is sin. Others disagree. Some think divorce is sin. Others disagree. Some think killing people in war is sin. Others disagree. Some think using God's name as a swear word is sin. Others disagree. Some think you need to worship on Saturday. Others disagree. We could go on and on. Many Christians use the same Bible, and have different opinions on what is right and wrong.
I suggest you read a book on moral reason before you condemn it.
Flat earthers thought they were very reasonable.
My response to that is the same as my response to people who keep hitting themselves on the head with a hammer. If hitting yourself on the head with a hammer is bad, and letting feelings control your reason is bad, then don't do it.
And so you use reason to reach the conclusion that all use of reason is bad?
Yes in the home, the husband is the head of the household. Every organization needs leaders, God has designed men to be the leader of the household. But both husband and wife are of equal value, just in different roles. Just like you and your boss are of equal value, you just have different roles.
Is it degrading that you cannot be a mother? Everyone has different roles in every organization. All roles in the family and the church are of equal value as I stated above.
In my household, leadership is a group effort. Both my wife and I share that leadership role. She is not my boss and I'm not her boss. We are a team and make decisions together. Both of us are the heads of the household. Neither above the other.
...and slaves and masters have equal value, just different roles?
No, it is not a blessing, it is how the soldiers that do it will feel because of all the evil the Babylonians had done to the jews. But that does not mean that they SHOULD feel that way. It is a prediction of how they will feel.
