    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    My topic in this thread is not about the actual words in scriptures. It’s about what people say that their scriptures are saying, whenever they are not quoting the exact words.

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    Slavery. Homosexuality. Women in the priesthood. Women’s issues in general.

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    I would have no problem with “In one of the Bible stories, God says ...” with the exact words from some version of the Bible.

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    Have you actually thought about it, to see if you could think of any changes in “what God says” in Christian churches, in the last few centuries, and even the last few decades?

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    I’m not doing it to be divisive.

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    I’m thinking that it’s humans clinging to ancient agendas, and modern ones.

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    I agree that it changes quite a bit. I disagree with saying that it is not in a way that’s systematic or error-correcting. I’m thinking that sometimes it is.

    Ideas and resources for people practicing and promoting better online behavior?

    Update on what I’m practicing and promoting now: - Wait to post until I can do it with genuinely friendly feelings. - If someone misrepresents what I’m saying, just say simply that I’m not doing that, and nothing more - After a series of distracting posts, post an update on the topic and what’s...

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    I’m not trying to compare, contrast or equate “God” and “Science,” or asking anyone to do that.

    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    NOTE: My reason for posting this in a debate forum is not to debate about it, myself. It’s to allow as much freedom as possible for people to say what they think. Sometimes people think that something Is true because they think it has been proven scientifically. Sometimes people think that...

    Atheism vs (ignosticism, theological noncognitivism, igtheism)

    @Igtheism If you don’t have the same issues with “science says” that you have with “God says,” then my interests might actually be opposed to yours.

    Atheism vs (ignosticism, theological noncognitivism, igtheism)

    Imagine two children who think that their Christmas presents were put under their Christmas trees by Santa Claus. One of them says “Look what Santa Claus brought me!” In that moment, she might not have any picture of Santa Claus in her mind at all. In that moment, “Look what Santa Claus brought...

    Atheism vs (ignosticism, theological noncognitivism, igtheism)

    Can you give me some examples of what you mean by “belief by faith,” and beliefs that are really belief? I’m not sure this will help, but maybe it will: “God” as part of some analogies, and as some characters in some stories

    Topics related to improving community life in online neighborhoods

    I’m imagining people in Internet discussions trying to understand what other people are thinking, not so they can tear it apart, but to see the good in it and learn from it. I’m thinking of people on Internet discussions sharing ideas and experiences, encouraging and supporting each other in...

    Ideas and resources for people practicing and promoting better online behavior?

    Now I’m rethinking what I want to do in these forums with my ideas about improving online behavior. Maybe what I’ve been doing, but without all the urgency that I was feeling.

    Ideas and resources for people practicing and promoting better online behavior?

    I’m thinking that I’ve been overdramatizing what happens in the forums. I actually don’t see much harm in the insults and personal attacks. I think that there might possibly be some long term damage to a few people from some behavior here, but i don’t see most of the insults and personal attacks...
