    Prophet Muhammad did not marry a child

    Can you please let me know how all this is relevant to the thread topic? Thanks in advance.

    Reincarnation, Death Penalty, or Abortions

    It's the same sort of question one could pose to even religion's where there is posed an "enjoyable" or "better" afterlife. If that's where you feel you're going to end up, then why not literally hope to die and get there? Especially if there are good-behavior requirements and you feel you are...

    is religion is scam?

    Well, obviously religion can be used in very scam-like capacities. We don't even need to recount the stories here of American pastors who drive Lamborghinis or have private planes. These things are pretty much common knowledge, and those people are most definitely scamming their congregations...

    If islam is true, then why does the texts says it isnt true?

    Based on the title of the thread, I thought you might be atheist (or some general form of unbeliever), but then I saw this part where you're trying to tie some feeling he had on his death bed to some idea that Allah would "cut his aorta" if he was a liar. So then I purposefully looked for what...

    Why Does God Permit Evil?

    But don't we supposedly "know good and bad" now? Isn't that what the fruit literally did? I remember, specifically, the tale about how Adam and Eve suddenly realized they were naked (and mistakenly took that to be "evil" apparently, if we accept the premises and the implications of the parable)...

    An update

    This is demonstrably untrue. It was learned that there is no such rule prohibiting the shirt in the first place, and that it was only a a particular person's discomfort on the line - a person who probably couldn't give adequate justification for why a such a rule should exist in the first place...

    Why Does God Permit Evil?

    Well, since the analogy doesn't even include the humans that are all also ultimately involved (which, I feel I should add - is even worse than humans being represented, at the very least, by the chalk dust). So, basically, if we just take what the video lines up character to character, we're...

    Justification by being Christian?

    What on Earth is this? An attempt to incorporate "justified" with the phrase "Just as if I'd..."? This just doesn't work on so many levels. "I'd" obviously being a contraction of "I" and "had" - the apostrophe being entirely relevant, yet missing from your butchery above. And the word...

    Armed citizen shoots shopping mall shooter

    Are you a "good shooter" or a "bad shooter"?

    Why Does God Permit Evil?

    I watched them, and replied in PM, but I will do so again here with the piece of media I crafted to display the full implications of the analogy, which I am pretty sure have not been thought of by yourself or the JWs: The "rebellious student" gets put up in front of the class to demonstrate...

    Is Evolution the cause of all evils that we are witnessing in the world?

    I don't expect it to change anyone's mind "on the spot", no. However, if I can be one link in a chain of continual refutations of their bogus information, to the point that they either finally crack and take an honest look at the evidence or give up with trying to blather inanities to the rest...

    Is Evolution the cause of all evils that we are witnessing in the world?

    So that's how people who attempt to correct other people's misconceptions about the world are viewed then? This explains so much.

    Is Evolution the cause of all evils that we are witnessing in the world?

    I would reserve the use of the word "evil" for those things that are malicious or purposefully detrimental to humans with both forethought and intent. So, things like "parasites" would not qualify as "evil" - because their intent is only to find a cozy place to survive as they are able, and what...

    A Theist Concept

    I have to say - I am not exactly sure what the "concept" is that you're referring to here. The concept that "intellectual growth" is "all the same anyway" with regard to "spiritual growth"? Not sure I can get on board there, to be honest, given the nebulous definition of the word "spiritual". Or...

    A Theist Concept

    So this was supposed to be funny, I take it? And would the comical part be the initial "a theist" versus "atheist" juxtaposition you made in asking what the difference is, and answering that it is "only space"? Or is the really humorous part that you feel that it will just take some "growing"...

    Former national security adviser John Bolton admits to planning foreign coups

    Unfortunately it is probably more a case of experimentation - with the end goal being to either become a bastion of global espionage expertise and information, or have enough experience and expertise in behind-the-scenes planning and string-pulling that when real opportunities to better your (or...

    What do you Wish Christians Knew about your Worldview?

    I wish they actually knew how little God factors into my life. They don't ever seem to understand, or even think this possible. From my dealings with Christians, there is nearly always this insistence that the nonbeliever is "angry at God" or that they want to live in sin, and so that is why...

    Theists: Why Worship God?

    Perhaps expressing sincere gratitude makes people feel good. But what often happens in life is that the relationships you have with people are multi-faceted. There are things they have done that you didn't like, or things you have done that they didn't like, and so sometimes gratitude feels...

    The third side of the abortion debate. The 'fetuses' that can now speak.

    One perhaps... so yeah... who is misconstruing situations now? Or, rather, again I should say. Very interesting conversation. Yes - you take care as well.

    The current state of the gaming industry now...

    I don't agree with the practice, but the article seems to contradict itself. First this: Not the two bits in red, specifically. And then they follow up later in the article with this: So, do you absolutely "need" these "Legendary Gems" or not? Can a free-to-play player still "fully deck...
