Wow you just repeated the same nonsense again. Impressive!LOL you didn't address "Falsehoods? You think sex is man made? The mysoginystic anti-choicers may want abortion to be murder, but it's not by definition. Look the word up. Any more than it could be called genocide by any half literate person. Again look the word up. The fact anti-choicers have to resort to lies and use false and inaccurate terms infers something about their arguments, something beyond mere duplicity I'd say.
A blastocyst isn't a person, that's axiomatic, but even if it were, it would be immoral to insist it could take away the rights of women to bodily autonomy, as has been amply demonstrated. Since all the anti-choicers are happy to kill (their own vernacular) kidney patients by not letting them use their bodies against their will, and exercise their right to live(again their own ridiculous vernacular).
All the rest is coloured bubbles."
Is Jesus not God?Things that Jesus never said.
He's the perfect revelation of God. Everything that comes before him is types and shadows. The Torah law was a system God used because of man's rebellion. It was never meant to be the perfect, complete revelation of God.Is Jesus not God?
Oh, the irony of someone who regularly makes stuff up calling verifiable facts "lies".Nope. Most are not. That's another common lie.
So you admit that Hitler got his genocidal tendencies from god.The phrase "in God's image" refers to spiritual qualities that we understand such as being able to love and feel anger, and to trust, possess wisdom etc. It does not refer to physical form.
Oh, so we weren't made in his "spiritual image" then?Furthermore, God has perfect knowledge and His spiritual qualities are perfect while humans are not.
Sorry to hear that. If I believed in your god, I would ask him to stop testing you so much.I feel like I'm dying .. I have bad mental and physical health.
But you are ignoring what Hitler actually did and only concentrate on what he might have been in a different universe.Funny coming from a guy who can't understand that Hitler had the ability to be a moral human.
If it's subjective, it's not morality, it's just what is convenient.
So yes. You believe that Jesus is God.He's the perfect revelation of God.
And kill your disobedient children. And witches. And homosexuals. And slavery is okay.
You have just confirmed my point!No, I believe what God says through his Son, equals morality. For example, do unto others as you would want them to do to you. Love your worst enemy. If someone asks for your coat give him your shirt too. This isn't based on reward, btw according to scripture. In fact if you only act this way to those who do good to you there's no reason you should be rewarded. Read the gospels.
When you say "studied", what do your "studies" consist of? Because from some of your comments about animal behaviour, you don't seem to have much understanding of them.I've studied bovines, chickens, raccoon, muskrat, fox, coyote, mink, sheep, goats and dogs.
Work being published doesn't mean someone has real experience sadly. A lot of wildlife management for example is done by people who know less than I do about wild animals.
Yes, that's what I said. You claimed that I can't love people you haven't met.Love your neighbor means loving all
It is also a noun. Did you have a point?and love is a verb.
As are all unfalsifiable claims.Your claim to love those you have never helped is just a claim.
Who said anything about "blessing".James says it's useless to bless those you don't actually do anything for.
Ultimately, all existence is meaningless However, as has been repeatedly explained to you, I can assign value and meaning to myself and others that are very real to me. There are clear evolutionary benefits in such behaviour. In fact, that kind of value and meaning is more real and valuable and meaningful than some irrational idea from ancient superstition.Without God you are a nothing made for no reason and going nowhere but in the dirt.
Why do you think that you cannot treat others well and fairly without god? The evidence that you can is all around you.Sometimes I wish it were true.
But alas, I don't think that I can get away with treating others badly, while I profit through immorality.
There are two obvious answers. Either god is a complete twat, or he doesn't exist. Take your pick.Why should there be so many people suffering even in a country that has so many millionaires?
He did when he was a different part of the Trinity.Things that Jesus never said.
Without God you are a nothing made for no reason and going nowhere but in the dirt.
It's all in the mind my friend..Why would you wish that was true? Theists are scary. I don't want to treat anyone badly, and I don't need the fictional saccharine promise of an afterlife, or the risible imaginary posthumous torture chamber of Hell, to want to treat people decently...
I don't think that being generally nice to people is claiming to be "perfect".It's all in the mind my friend..
You are a human being and not the "perfect" atheist / person that you claim to be.
