    If God exists, is there a problem with offerings to other gods?

    I think there is one. This post is under the premise that God is real - I mean the Creator God as outlined in the Bible. God gives ressources to a population out of love. If they use it for offerings to some gods that did not provide these things, it's wasting them, which would be impolite...

    Who Am I Kidding?

    Hi this is a poem I wrote with the help of a native speaker - a friend of mine. It's a song. You can listen to it here (on spotify): Who Am I Kidding VERSE I need more time to get things done, Before I go to enjoy the sun. I need a break before moving on, It takes me time when the battle is...

    Talking to Minors About Sex: Where Is the Line in the Sand?

    Lets discuss talking sex with minors of age at church or in the home. In my opinion sex ed is perfectly fine. It's their right to know about sex. However, a fellow poster recently wrote: "Even at 10 I was already told about when I marry my body would be my husband's and I would never be...

    Misogyny Stemming from the Abrahamic Religions Today?

    In the last thread two women agreed that Abrahamic Religions inspired anti-women bias. I'm interested as to know what cases of anti-women bias you came across in the Christian churches in todays world? I'm also interested in knowing which are the cases you see in which Christianity inspired...

    Have You Been Insulted by Religious People in Front of Everyone's Eyes?

    When I debated in a Christian forum, I became aware of the fact that some people were insulted, but nobody seemed to have problems with this - the moderators included. I think it's a difference between getting insulted by one person and nobody sees or hears anything... and the insult/ offence...

    God's love and the destruction of Sodom? How is this reconciled?

    In another thread a poster said, God might be seen as immoral. There might not be any positive message from the Sodom story, according to her. She doubts that this was fair trial and a jury. Only one that inspires fear, according to her. In my view it's like that: If he would allowed the people...

    ... that's an old story: Former ultra-Orthodox Jews demand basic education former ultra-Orthodox Jews are suing the Israeli state for having failed to grant them the right of getting some basic education in math and English. Boys get even less education than girls. However, I couldn't find...

    Is the Good News As Presented in the Bible Snakeoil Salesmanship?

    Recently there was a thread with hundreds of objections to the Bible. I'd like to pick one of them, which is the last one as of today 10:30 am - being able to go into detail with it. According to the Good News from to the Bible, everyone is saved once they accept and proclaim Jesus as Lord...

    Would Western countries allow Muslims to have their own judiciary system?

    Yesterday, a fellow poster from the Muslim side asked: "Would you let Muslims to have their own courts and judge amongst themselves according to the Islamic Shariah? NOPE!" Well, it depends, I think. Here in Germany for instance, the judiciary system sometimes accept Sharia law for divorce or...

    Did God Show Himself Insecure? (Garden Story)

    one poster hypothesized that God was a little insecure, because it was knowledge being conveyed to A&E in case of eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Is the rule to not eat that fruit, a sign of insecurity or bad motives? When you are invited to a garden party and host asks you to not...

    Does Australia Try to Silence Those Who Want to Oppose the LGBT+ Movement?

    Recently, a poster on a major Christian message board made that claim in a newly created thread. Since it is forbidden to "promote homosexuality" on that board, noone challenged that claim. I think it is presumption backed up by nothing. But on this board, it continues to be treated as factual...

    Does the Bible really say "homosexuals"?

    Often, on Christian message boards, they cite Bible verses that, for some reason, put the word "homosexuality" in some verses. And yet, homosexuals can't reply. At least in one big Christian message board. The usual bullying... Well now to the question: Does it make sense to attribute this...

    When do you get a notification for being mentioned in a post?

    Hi everyone, I did not receive a notifaction here: Why do some celebrate Jesus death? I think it's like this: I get a notification normally. But if someone changes their text afterwards and mentions me then, I don't. Is it like this? Regards, Thomas

    I'd like to ask all atheists of this board... do you consider this a legitimate activity? Or do you think it is lying? The Defense of the Gospel is usually called apologetics.

    If God Writes Something With the Stars...

    Would you believe him: a message like "hey, believe Jesus, he is my beloved son!"... and let's assume for a moment there are no language issues. So when God allocates the stars in a way that we read this message, would you believe in God then? I'm asking all posters from the atheist side...

    Who Is an Israelite?

    Lately, I saw in someone's signature that he claims to be an Israelite. Without being ethnically Israelite. To me, this comes across as identity grabbing. Even in the New Testament, Israel is still Israel, this is at least how I see the issue. I see it as one big disadvantage for those Bible...

    Do You Fear Abuse of Power If You Enter a Church?

    I'd like to ask all atheists/ agnostics/ or seekers, here: If you would plan to enter a church and maybe join their community, would you fear any abuse of powers? I mean there are church elders that might interfere with your life perhaps... and there is a pastor who traditionally plays a large...

    Does God Play "Hide and Seek"?

    In Interfaith Discussion, someone said so. Since I want to debate, let me open up a thread in the debate section now. In my opinion it is not childish to play hide and seek. For - the Christian - God it makes sense, in my view. Last time he landed on the cross. Why should he bother to come...

    Evidence for a Creator God Who Likes Creating Things

    In my opinion there exists great evidence for a Creator God who loves creating things: the great variety of life and landscapes on earth. Landscapes keep changing and life can be found in all its forms.

    There are about 1000 gods. Is that evidence against God?

    Atheists often cite the great abundance of gods. In my opinion, this is not evidence against God. I believe, it rather shows that God allows other beliefs to happen, for some time at least. Here is a video by an atheist on this matter: If you think that every single god deserves to be...
