There is no special Agnostic stance on its own in non-religious stances it applies to KNOWLEDGE claims which is Gnostic (has knowledge) and Agnostic (lack of knowledge). Theism and Atheism covers BELIEF claims about in this case deity claims. So one can be if an Atheist a Gnostic Atheist has...
People forget our genetic earlier modern ancestor Cro-Magnon Man the first modern human ancestor who go back with ample enough cultural evidence with a site dating back 30,000 years ago and there is evidence less precise going back 100,000 years and genetic evidence and anatomical studies place...
Actually I would say the supernatural needs to exist first before you go up the chain of ghosts, elementals, fairies, angels, demons, gods, goddesses then one specific god or goddess roughly in some order of lesser beings.
If you have read the Torah, he is all out for that and not peaceful and good and before you give me the Jesus came and so its okay argument he condoned slavery so was not that perfect how can a just god condone in the whole Bible slavery and in the OT horrors we rightfully would have hung a Nazi...
Information is killing religion ,maybe not spirituality, since you can go just on-line and Youtube and learn about other religions than yours and Atheism and use your own reason to choose now. In even in the earlier 20th Century information was harder to find and assimilate I remember reading...
Technically States have some say the decision is tied to government licensed marriage if States decided to no longer issue licenses and grandfather in the existing marriages for everyone then its a matter of private contracts and so forth but if a State has marriage for straight couples they...
As an Atheist I'm kind of bad then but have to point out most of these I agree with save the first two. And part of the third I find homosexual loving relationships if caring and loving to be moral but am not homosexual.
I do I suppose deny all deities as having any existence from the rational...
What if its two men or two women and adults, I personally see no issue if two sisters or a mother and daughter want to be lovers if adults. So why make it illegal?
Bullpaddies!
If God is all powerful, good and all His revealed morality would be back then superior to any we know of and He would have been the example of this.
Lets pick one story Sodom we all know that one. Ok Abraham prayed to God getting down to five innocent in the city it would be...
If you move and live in a nation you accept the ways of that nation, France opted a long time ago to be secular and tolerant of religion but this means limiting expressions in public to be minimalist. Since they stated under law such garments should not be worn in public for security reasons and...
My faculty of reason is my only weapon against God if the Judeo-Christian Bible is the standard this God is the most vicious egotistical monstrosity ever to exist, Lucifer as a being that told him to g stuff himself and his followers the only light. This light includes reason to treat God as a...
Another ULC minister way to go, I'm one to. Love that group its only tenant is easy for anyone decent to follow.
I tend to think Lucifer doesn't need our worship being the rebel and gentleman he is over the "God Figure" who is clearly very irrational and childish. I respect the being for what...
It does provide in the unseemly side an outlet for otherwise undesireable passions in people, if one includes phone adult acting for money and other forms of non-physical outlets as pornography.
Parents have the children and like providing other needs under law education should be included, end compulsory education and return to families some of the state tax money so they can arrange for this education. It seems to me if every students parents had $5,000 extra per child for education...
I don't care what the Apostles did frankly save as a secondary concern to the life of Jesus. And since Timothy said a minister should be supported by the flock in a letter how would you take that if you were a minister, give me support as in things and money so I can sit on my duff.
Paul was a...
My point was Jesus never said anywhere a minister shouldn't work like everyone else, Timothy clearly deviated from that by making ministry a profession unto itself. Alright a letter but its in the NT just the same giving a reason for the pillaging of the faithfuls wallets and purses ever since...
Rather than take the Bible at face-value why not just focus on what Jesus did and said as what we are to do. Paul ,widely quoted, was not even an Apostle but a popular preacher and the others were not Jesus they had their own foibles and who knows if they embellished things. After all Jesus...
