    Women in the Priesthood

    In all of my years here at RF, I don't believe I have ever seen this topic properly discussed. Those against ordaining women in the Catholic Church base their arguments on Jesus' actions in the Bible. They say that since Jesus only appointed males as his apostles, (although he had many famous...

    Logical Consistency

    Logic is a funny thing--we think we've got it down, and then, BAM! Our entire logical process turns itself inside out upon arriving at a completely illogical conclusion. Our brains near the point of meltdown as, cross-eyed, we try and decipher how our perfectly logical premise could result in...

    The Bible as Evidence

    Can the Bible be used as evidence? Can the things that are written about in the Bible be considered true because the Bible is a legitimate source? That's what I want to find out! Steve posted the paragraph below in another thread, and to escape going off topic I decided to respond to it...

    Nativity Scenes in Public Places

    What do you guys think about Nativity Scenes and other religious holiday symbols being present on government property? I read an article in the newspaper saying that nativity scenes were permitted on government property, as long as they didn't have the baby Jesus in them. Personally, I think...

    Abstinence

    The following is an article from the Dayton Daily News: What is everyone's opinion on this matter? I know, (having spent upwards of 12 years of my life in Catholic Schools), that "abstinence only" is the way to go for most Christians, but is this really realistic? In my experience...

    The Figurative Interpretation: Is it Legit?

    For all of Bible-believers who do not subscribe to a literal interpretation of the Bible, how do you justify your reformed view? I've never quite understood how it is that Noah and the Tower of Bable are mere "stories included to teach lessons, etc.", while the resurrection is considered...

    Human Cloning

    What's the big beef with human cloning? I always hear people saying things like, "I don't like how scientists are messing around with cloning animals--it's only bringing them a couple steps closer to cloning humans, and that's just wrong!" Most people seem to think that human cloning is...

    AnswersinGenesis.org

    Many of you are familiar with the creationist website, answersingenesis.org. You've either refuted a claim by it, or used it as evidence to support something you've said. I would fit most accurately into the category of the former, and have come to dread being fed this site from every...

    Inerrancy of the Bible and other Religious Texts

    In another thread about creation and evolution, we got off-topic discussing the validity of the Bible due to its supposed inerrancy. I would like to continue the discussion here, where we won't be disrupting the other thread. As well as talking about the Bible, I would also like to expand the...

    Blinders

    A couple weeks ago I was hanging out with my mom and my uncle, (her brother), as he told her about this new book he was reading. The book was called, "American Tragedy," (and my uncle recommends it, by the way), and its a factual story about a group of Mormons who massacred a large caravan of...

    Filling in the Gaps

    Uncertaindrummer posted this response in my other thread, "Stop the Madness", but my response would have been way off-topic, so I decided to make a new thread. In this quote, Uncertaindrummer is using the ever classic, "Filling in the Gaps Argument". He is taking a scientific question...

    Stop the Madness

    I would like to use this thread to specifically discuss a rather prominent issue in today's society: creationism in the science labs of public schools. As I have recently stated in another thread, I respect everyone's right to believe what they want. I don't care if you think that sheep's...

    Wives, be submissive to your Husbands

    The other day, Spinkles was telling me about a Christian radio show that he had been listening to, and it really got me thinking. On the show, the man speaking was explaining the relationship between Christian husbands and wives. He said that many women were under the misconception that...

    Is it worth the record? *Warning: Some slightly disturbing images*

    Like most people, I'm sure, I love looking through the Guiness Book of World Records. Most of the stuff in there is truly amazing, and some of the things that people do are extraordinary. But what about those records that seem to dangerously cross the line of, "Stupid Human Trick"? From "most...

    Abiogenesis, explained.

    In this thread, I would first like to outline the difference between abiogenesis and evolution, and then explain exactly what abiogenesis is, how it works, and what sort of experiments have been conducted to confirm these hypotheses. We've all debated evolution until our faces have turned...

    Are men responsible for women?

    It was brought up in another thread, that it is the responsibility of men to protect their women because they are stronger than them. This view could be held due to a person's religious beliefs, or without religious instigation--all responses are welcome. Anyhow, Melody pointed out that...
