    Can a Society Without Universal Healthcare be a Moral Society?

    I didn't know that stating an example was ascribing opinions to you. It was just an observation. In what way was I putting words into you mouth... explain it and I will apologize. I'm not trying to ascribe anything but state how you come across to people. You seem to have a great thirst to...

    Can a Society Without Universal Healthcare be a Moral Society?

    Well I guess we fascinate each other. Because I'm fascinated by people who use conformation bias to shape their own views. They are not open to all forms of information and only accept information on one side. In other words, when people say an oil company researcher cannot be trusted because...

    Can a Society Without Universal Healthcare be a Moral Society?

    Do you watch MSNBC? See how retarded of a question that is? It would be nice to have people discuss issues and think for themselves instead of trying to find out if others are a republican, democrat, liberal, conservative and not listen to the premises of their thinking because of that...

    Is Van Jones still a Communist?

    I apologize, asking "are you all high?" is over the top. I should have conveyed shock in a different way and I can see how that can close down conversation. Cuba is going through some changes and I think it is an important issue.

    Communism - why does America hate it?

    Historically far left groups have used fascism more often than far right. However, that said, both bush and obama and congress were/are taking us full speed towards it which is very scary. But back to the thread topic, laws cannot stamp out greed from human nature. There will be rich...

    Is Van Jones still a Communist?

    WOW ... umm... I don't really know what to say. You are clearly the one unaware of your own bias and diluted your mental filter (claiming you have an objective point of view is the greatest evidence for this). You project your own way of unsound thinking onto others and claim it as their way...

    Is Van Jones still a Communist?

    Could you explain why this point is so important for you to distinguish between refugee and immigrant? Is this all about political correctness? Also it would be nice if you would at least address some points I discussed earlier. I will try and break it down. One can be both an immigrant and...

    God screwed Adam and Eve

    The problem with solomon wasn't that he had many wives, but that he took wives from other nations. Which was also forbidden/discouraged if you only had one wife. David's problem wasn't with his multiple wives but another man's wife. As for Abraham... Gen 16:3 And Sarai Abram’s wife...

    Is Van Jones still a Communist?

    Voluntarily implies they can just hop on a train, plane, without political penalty. They are not allowed to leave and are thus "political refugees." Immigrants are like people coming from Mexico being illegal or legal immigrants. People from Cuba are asking for asylum to come to the US. So I...

    God screwed Adam and Eve

    And marriage can be between one man and another man, it depends on the political climate of the time. As for the bible God didn't condemn David for having multiple wives, but for taking another man's wife. Suffering for family disputes seems like a giant stretch to make a claim that God...

    God screwed Adam and Eve

    Yeah cause there are absolutely no instances in the bible of polygamy! oh wait... its full of them.

    Is Van Jones still a Communist?

    Cuba? are you all high? You can turn around meaningless statistics all day long. There isn't an influx of refugees from the USA going to Cuba... but the opposite is true. Living under tyranny can still allow for the basic necessities of life (and riches if you are in the ruling party), but...

    Can a Society Without Universal Healthcare be a Moral Society?

    Everyone bashes on the US system... Hospitals in the US are required by law to treat for life-saving care regardless if people can pay or not. NHS has people on waiting lists who do not receive care in time and die. So as you can see there are good things and bad things about each system...

    Ask a Christian and get a straight answer...

    Yes. I don't see how your answer is even related to the question. so... Ill ask it again. Creation -> Jewish beliefs -> Christ -> Apostles -> Catholic origins and splinter groups -> Reformation -> Modern Christian Where do your Christian beliefs start and your Catholic beliefs end...

    Ask a Christian and get a straight answer...

    I thought you were being straight forward :( The continuance of God does not have much to relate to the origins of your beliefs.

    Ask a Christian and get a straight answer...

    How do you reconcile the connection of your Christian beliefs with the Catholic past? In other words ... (when for you) does your Christian beliefs start in relation to the Catholic church? Is it at Jesus's death? The apostles? Gnostics? Constantine? Nicean Creed? Crusades? Indulgences...

    Is Capitalism a Sin?

    Is a hammer a sin? Is a cell phone a sin? Is a handgun a sin? Asking if a method of interaction is a sin is just like asking if a hammer is a sin. It is all how you use it. People who use any form of government or economics for greed and exploitation is a sin. There are (and have been)...

    Just a little question.

    Well I wasn't stating either way that God changed or didn't change... all I was asking is your views - because it seemed like that is what you were alluding to. Since you clarified that mans views of God changed (allowing the people to start Crusades) than every act evil or good (if you believe...

    Just a little question.

    So the Christian God changes with the times? Kathryn, I know you can't always rely on wiki, but just look up "bible translations" there. There were so many versions banned and reprinted and then later banned all throughout its history. Its not that Christians rely on them... but that the...

    Just a little question.

    Being German does not make one a Nazi. Many/most Christians today would absolutely denounce the actions of Crusaders (and have). Which I think was summed up well by the discussion on the first page. The more fundamental problem I see is answering which points of doctrine and history are...
