2. If God Is Dead, Who Gets His House?

This is troubling , More and more i see indications that athiesm is turning into a religion.Creeds , Churches , what's next a messiah and a miricale . This is exactly why I never identify myself as an athiest.I'm a non believer make of that what you will.

I'm having a hard time believing this is real.The Saddest part of it all is that the girls have been conditioned to accept this lifestyle and even bee proud of it.

5. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #148700 by Madmaili on March 23, 2008 at 3:58 pm

One does not have to be well versed in biology or philosophy to understand the gigantic flaws of ID theory.While i can understand avoidance as a method of maintaining this myth I wonder if there is more to it ......Are people simply lying to themselves ? I wish I could lie to myself so convincingly.

7. The death-of-god debate

"Harries claims to find God in such concepts as beauty and artistic creativity. A sign of His handiwork is humanity's eternal assault on the mountains of the sublime."
He forgot to mention god exists in many other places he can be found in the neatness of a perfectly rolled joint or in the bubbles of an imported beer. God is on the table top when you flop a straight and on nice cup of warm apple cider and spicy rum .

8. God's cure for gays lost in sin

The concept of marriage is pretty worthless, in anthropology it's defined as a relationship between two or more people where it is socially recognized that they have a monopoly on sexual acess.
Am I the only one who doesn't care how society views my relationships with other people ?

"I really don't think that anyone is genetically predisposed toward preferences. Whether they are chosen or not. I think we are genetically predisposed to have preferences, but those preferences are discovered, not inherent.

As I said, I highly doubt that I have a "like anime" gene, and a "hate onion" gene. For one, it just doesn't seem economic, and the other, it seems highly unlikely that such a thing could be so specific.

I think we are predisposed to have sexuality, and the direction it is aimed at, is decided by other factors during developement in the first few years of life.

It doesn't seem likely to be that specifics like that could be easily programmed.

That doesn't mean they are consciousless decided. Only 10% of our actions reach conscious awareness, that doesn't mean that we are genetically predisposed toward the other 90%. It means that we have trained ourselves through experience, and life.

I think that the factors involved in any preference is likely convoluted, and many. Hard, if not impossible to pin down, and likely have huge variance between individuals.

To be clear, I don't think that heterosexuality is genetic either. I think purely sexuality is. Clearly, for whatever reason, 90% of people aim their sexual attraction toward the opposite sex, while 10% aim it toward the same sex."

I agree , It's probably like all sexual perferances learned. I like girls with dark hair and petite bodies ,I dobut i'am biologcally predisposed to liking them. I do think it's intresting that all the WIKI on gay animals included only mamals .......

If there were an evoultionary advantage shouldn't gays be the norm and hetros be the benighted minority?

"I think religion is different to some of those, someone shd have the right to refuse to employ a creationist as a biology teacher, for example"
The analogy does not bear , being a creationist directly goes to this person's ability to do his job . I sometimes between classes work as a bouncer , if my boss refused to hire a disabled person as a bouncer is he being discriminatory ?

Define Cured?
IF they mean cured as in a Gay person can have sex with somone of the opposite sex then sure it can be "cured" and i can be cured from my hetrosexualatiy all it would take would me to have sex with a gay person . How dark the bullshit of man.
Plus do the people of these cults seriously think that being banned from associating with them is a punishment ?

15. Jesus saves

Comment #146654 by Madmaili on March 19, 2008 at 9:01 am

It's a complicated question. The fact that most religous people follow the religion of their parents means that there is a nurture aspect to it . Since religion has been found throught the spectrum of human culture there might be an adaption aspect to it , or it might be a by product of another adaption. There is also the fuzzy angle of need. It seems at least to me clear that some people need faith in purpose and a almighty creator to survive .

I'am pretty sure I agree with the whining athiests. Private companines need a valid reason to reject somone's bussiness.
