What about gorillas in captivity who have been able to learn sign language (yes, this has been proven) and effectively communicate with their zoo keepers? What would be stopping them from relaying a sexual interest?
Um,...if bestiality is possible in humans, why would a similar fetish not be...
Actually I completely agree with you on this one. If a person takes a belief in God to be their core assumption, there is nothing that can be done to prove otherwise to them. Any attempt you make to disprove them will be futile, because to them the very idea of logic is a creation of God, so...
Yeah, actually i do know what you are trying to get att, that the universe has just always existed, and I would have shared that belief with you before I learned more about why physicists do think the universe was created with the big bang.
Because of Einstein's relativity theory, time...
I think the ultimate happiness any human can experience is when they can look at their lives and see that they have had a positive effect on their surroundings.
Hey Spinkles,
We've already had several in-person conversations in which we've clarified exactly what we think, but just for the record...I believe firmly that there is no cognitive being who actively makes decisions pertaining to the world, and furthermore that neither humans nor any other...
I think (or hope) just about everyone would agree that it depends on the person as to the extent to which one would experience loneliness. Along those same lines, I do not think it is necessary for EVERYONE to need to believe in a god in order to avoid loneliness. I will accept the notion that...
ok....so you didn't answer my question. What you are saying here is that you believe in the second creation story. What about the first? Is that just hogwash? And if it is, how can you just pick and choose which parts of the Bible you want to believe in literally, and which parts you don't...
The logic of a literal translation of the bible is much like a house built out of straw. If you believe every word of Genesis, and believe that it tells the true story of creation, then which creation story do you go by? How is it possible to believe in them both at the same time? Remember...
I just finished reading all of the posts in this entire debate, and I have yet to hear an actual reason why a secular nation should not allow gays to marry.
Although there are most definitely alterior motives, the current official reasoning behind the Supreme Court's position on gay...
Redeemed,
I went to a Catholic school all my life, and your use of the Baltimore Catechism as a source for what Catholics believe is completely erroneous. While it is true that it set the basic guidelines for American catholicism in the pre-Vatican II era, it has since been thrown out and is...

Well, of course there is an event which makes someone change their beliefs. Every action requires a cause. But I don't like the underlying meaning you've attached to this. You make it sound as if there is something bad which happens to an atheist which messes them up and makes them "lose...

First of all, this is an individual religion forum, so it is against the rules for you to even post what you are posting here. Secondly, you sound extremely arrogant when you just automatically assume that you are right and that we all need to be converted.
