    US Gun Control & Why It Would Fail

    There are tactical training courses that teach you how to shoot in a crowd. Make sure you take one or two before you try this yourself.

    How Can You Worship God?

    So you are apparently atheist and you are criticizing Judaism then? Note that Allah is also referred to as "God" but I am guessing you have not studied the Quran and cannot quote it chapter and verse like the English translations of the Hebrew Tenakh? Also note that Christianity begins with...

    Which Theory of Evolution do you Believe?

    I think the neat thing about the Hubble Space Telescope is that it has enabled us to set a limit on the age of the Universe -- 15 billion years. We had already figured out on our own that the Earth is 4.5 billion years. The realm of Science ends for periods before 15 billion BC, and the realm...

    The Anti-Father's Day Thread

    The USA starting with Kennedy and culminating in Clinton have always been pro IRA. So you cannot blame us. You have to go back to blaming the bloody British.

    The Anti-Father's Day Thread

    ' Yah it was like that for us too. Ironically my sisters and I swung the opposite way as our parents and we became extremely permissive of others including children of ours. I attribute my father's problems to PTSD from WW2. My mother's problems were due to her own abuse by her own parents...

    The Anti-Father's Day Thread

    I remember that my mom always made a lemon merengue pie for my dad on Fathers' Day. They were neither really good parents, not really cut out for it. But they did love each other. For them the kids just got in the way is all. So Fathers' Day and Mothers' Day are equally problematic for me.

    U.S. Marine Veteran Saved 60-70 Lives

    I think right now the Russians have taken over the bombings. They (the Russians) have effectively prevented the US from flying any missions even close to Syria. Too dangerous. Don't want to start WW3. Semper Fi.

    Could some explain chapter Numbers 31

    Jews don't worry about it. They see the issue strictly as one of land ownership. God gave this land to the Jews. End of story. Christians are not concerned with Jewish beliefs nor their history. Christianity begins with The Sermon On The Mount not with the Hebrew "Old Testament" (Tenakh).

    Can good people go to hell?

    Jeeze now you are mixing Science and Philosophy. That's as bad as mixing Science and Religion.

    Which Theory of Evolution do you Believe?

    Can't believe you guys and gals cannot just let this thread die. Science is Empirical and as such it has nothing to do with "believing". The theory is either consistent with the data or it is not. In evolutionary theory the data are from the striking resemblance of all the vertebrates and...

    Can good people go to hell?

    In Western Philosophy the concept of First Cause means our existence IS precisely proof "that he did".

    Questions about personal views and religions

    Nobody eats salt anymore because it is really bad for your blood pressure -- jacks it up really high.

    I can tell that you have never been to see any of the refugee camps in Jordan.

    Could some explain chapter Numbers 31

    That's certainly one possible speculative explanation. Moses had a Midian wife however, who was not Hebrew either, so I doubt he would have come up with this on his own though. Maybe it got altered through transcription throughout the ages? Hard to say. Anything that is 3500 years old is...

    Could some explain chapter Numbers 31

    Little boys grow up to become terrorists. We have seen plenty of this in modern times.

    Could some explain chapter Numbers 31

    Best thing is to remember that Christianity has nothing to do with the Hebrew Old Testament (Tenakh). Christianity starts with The Sermon On The Mount in Matthew Chapter 5 of the Greek New Testament.

    The importance of Judas the Iscariot

    Sorry I am not trained to look for the religious leaning yet. Just got here. So you are "agnostic" rather than "not interested". I think agnosticism is fairly popular these days among scientists. The main reason is because science has become their/your religion. A good Philosophy teacher in...

    Why Is the Killer of British MP Jo Cox Not Being Called a “Terrorist”?

    Correct !! Therefore it would seem that if you are Muslim and you murder a bunch of people then you are automatically a terrorist. And if you are not Muslim and you murder a bunch of people then you are just wacko.

    US Gun Control & Why It Would Fail

    It all depends on the State that you are living in, and also somewhat on the type of firearm you are talking about. Recall that the "National Firearms Act of 1934" makes Thompson submachine gun ownership all but impossible legally without getting a federal license and paying a high tax for it...

    why are we here?

    Well you have resurrected a really old thread and the O/P himself/herself has not been back in about 12 years. The question is more Philosophical than Religious however. Rene Descartes has the best answer from among all the philosophers. He said it is obviously out of the infinite loving...
