    Confessing Sins

    These passages are commonly cited as the scriptural basis for the Roman Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation, formerly known as Confession. John 20:23 - "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained"; Matt 16:19; 18:18 - more sayings...

    Why will the wicked be at God's left side?

    Likely a projection of the belief that there is something defective or demonic about lefthanded people because so many more are righthanded.

    Biblical Contradictions

    Hoo, boyee!

    I believe in God because...

    And I'm an atheist because I had a massively transformative experience, so no, OP, can't give ya a single one...although I don't reject the possibility that someone might produce evidence of one someday. Ain't holding my breath. Lots of things are capable of enriching and enhancing people's...

    What do gods fear the most?

    Also, Gaiman and Pratchett's Good Omens and the laff riot, Christopher Moore's Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. We got three copies of it in the bookstore where I worked when it was released. One of the managers had to tell us booksellers to buy the thing or put it...

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    In fact, we don't even know which format, hardbound or trade paperback, the p. 195 references. Pretty useless for anyone who might wish to read that page and attempt to figure out what the hey the OP is talking about. Wish I hadn't donated my copy to my former church's library, because I'm...

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    True enough. Credit to you for pointing out the obvious which I neglected.

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    Not worth the time, particularly since I don't think there's an iota of merit to the OP's assertions. Anyway, we have yet to be shown just what was so wrong about Hitch's views, this time with evidence and not simply Paarsurrey's completely unsubstantiated opinion. Burden of proof is on the...

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    Terribly impressive riposte.

    Tattoo survey

    No way would I get a tattoo. I'm not into pain for cosmetic reasons at all. :ignore: Never mind my three ear piercings. Those are different. :ignore:

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    Those statements went whoosh in the stratosphere over your head, didn't they?

    Hitler Survived Indonesia and Died in Kansas

    Why not? The creationism/ID proponents do it all the time with science to "prove" their points. :rolleyes:

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    That was a joke??? That you have the chutzpah to think that the least bit comparable to Hitch's wit and derisive humor is...well, as sad as your considering that a joke.

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    Hitch stated near the end that he always knew he had a good chance of dying as a result of his indulgences in smokes and booze. Slow suicide or simply being realistic about pleasures you enjoy? I suppose it depends upon one's perspective. Personally, I thought he went out with style, his...

    Which is The best country to move to/live in?

    I'm moving to Canada. I want the "mulch-cultural lifestyle" assured me by the OP. :D Probably shouldn't take my container plants with me, though. I'm not sure they'd survive an application of that mulch-culture. [Yes, the bad pun was intended!]

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    The ones of Hitchens' that are wrong, of course. :facepalm: What's the matter with you this morning? Didn't have your coffee yet? :areyoucra [major sarcasm alert for the unwary!]

    Define an atheist ?

    Ridiculous! It means the person simply doesn't know how to make tea. Ridiculous again. The person was concentrating on the process and merely made a mistake. Forgot to say the magic words that summon the aid of supreme consciousness is more like it. That makes as much sense as what you're...

    On Pederasty & Pedophilia

    I'm no expert on Shinto, but what I've read on it--a couple of books--said nothing whatsoever about such a practice being part of Shinto. Since Shinto is a folk-based faith akin to Paganism in that regard, perhaps some people thought this practice was part of the faith or justified it by...

    Define an atheist ?

    Preposterous! If the tea is made badly, that it was could result from any number of factors, possibly that the maker is ignorant of how to make tea properly. Or the person accidentally puts in too little or too much of an ingredient. The person may be concentrating on the process but be...

    Christopher Hitchens is wrong to say “There is no Eastern solution”

    Then, quote precisely where he is wrong and provide evidence to prove that he is. You have thus far done exactly what you condemn him for--made allegations and nothing more than that.
