First of, since the bible is full of contradictions in historic facts and contradicts its own teachings the fundamentalists have nothing to be proud of in having a "more accurate view". They may have decided to take more of it literally (namely: Genesis & Creation) but they're still left cherry...
I think idea of 'winning a debate' only applies to an actual live debate. This was a prerecorded and probably highly edited video clip; it hardly qualifies.
I know you already have plenty but...
"And the flood was forty days upon the earth" - Genesis 7:17
"And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days." - Genesis 7:24
Concrete, same chapter, 7 verses apart.
Do let me know if he keeps his promise :lol:
Let me have a go at these. By no means could you use any of my answers but I thought I'd ramble on anyway.
Why do you think religion exists in societies?
Humans are social beings that also have pattern finding brains. Both of these mechanisms have always been essential to the survival of the...
The discussion started betwwen me and you when you said this WASN'T a freedom of speech issue and you know it. Maybe you should stop avoding it and just answer borrofburi.
Re: Understand What Harassment Is
Proving wether or not alarm or distress was caused to you is a fairly hard thing to do. We really only have your word, so if you oppose what I say then you can claim it did distress or alarm you and we have a potential criminal case. Let's ignore the fact that...
Re: Understand What Harassment Is
By the wording used there to define "harassment" it would be a criminal offence for me to call you 'stupid'. Since you clearly take the side of the law do you think it's appropriate for me to be arrested for calling you 'stupid', providing you claim it caused...
MRaverz, are you serious?
MRaverz, have you even read both those articles? Where on earth does it make this sound like a case of "harrasment"?
This isn't harrasment, this is just making some comments durning conversation that offended someone. Because these comments were related to somebody's...
Quite simply, well said.
None of us want to people to be coming up to us and saying offensive things but most of us don't want a law against it either. Who in their right mind would be in favour of passing a law against calling someone an idiot?
It will be a very sad day for UK and for free speech if they are convicted. It is also extremely worrying that Muslims seem to be given this very special treatment by the law in this country (UK). I can hardly see anyone having been arrested if comments about Jesus and Christian practice were...
Fantastic link, never been easier to discover, identify and refrence the sheer volumes of contradications in the blible. Just brushing through Genisis, I found a load of stuff that I quite simply could help but laugh at. I just loved this verse about the great flood for some reason:
But of...
Oh yes, I've seen those adverts (online) before. Their just disgusting fear mongering tactics although their motto is quite illogical too.
What I was referring to as looking almost like satire (although of course they're not) are the billboards in the original post at...
I'm not trying to be provocative but when you make claims like "Carbon Dating doesn't work", an already obvious fact becomes even more obvious.
That fact is this: Growing up in a strongly Christian community, you've been lied to time and time again on a whole array of matters and allowing you...
Isn't this video mostly irrelevant to the pro-choice, pro-life debate? It just seems to be trying to work people up into an emotional state where there vulnerable to accepting whatever argument is presented to them. I mean her story may be very moving, but what relevance does it have?
I...
