Love as spoken of in Christianity, is not the same thing as society generally determines it to be. Yes. That is the appropriate statement. There is a difference between secular and Christian definitions.

Dan you have made statements in the past, I believe, that people are being disrespectful of faiths because they are attacking them. My issue here is that most of the time, what you call an attack I call a criticism of some type of religious behavior. I am NOT saying that the criticism is...

I agree that a fundamental attitude is at fault here, though not the one you highlight. The conservative attitude that basic sex education should not be taught to children is one of the biggest attitude flaws. How are kids supposed to know how to handle sexual relations and realize the dangers...

Yeah it is more generic an article about his talk and his statement that no divine power was needed to create the universe. This part was the only section specifically about that: He closed by outlining "M-theory," which is based partly on ideas put forward years ago by another famed...

Oh that is just peachy! As if the completely anatomically impossible Barbie hasn't done enough damage to kids for generations who look at that doll as the perfect body figure to attempt to emulate.

Here is the surprise: In both studies - generosity and porn - it was a statistical dead-heat between religious individuals and nonreligious individuals. They were equally generous and they consumed an equal amount of porn. No real surprise. At least from my experience of the world. Religious...

I do. As there are many different thoughts on this subject, here is an interesting article about the definition of love from five different disciplines: What is love? Five theories on the greatest emotion of all | The panel | Comment is free | theguardian.com I'm also looking forward to an...

Using the Earth as an example, life can take hold on a certain type of planet (or moon*) relatively quickly. Within 5 billion years of the creation of Earth. That is very fast! My take away from that is that basic life is probably quite common thru-out the universe. The discouraging part is...

Added to that, despite all we know about the Big Bang, what scholarship asserts is that in that very first nano-moment, the Laws of Nature are the product of the event, not the cause, because 'before' the event there was nothing. Steven Hawking doesn't think so: Big Bang Didn't Need God...

If any. I'm not a big person for jewelry and such. I do wear an ankh around my neck all the time. Once in a while I will put on a fabulous Native American crafted ring of the Thunderbird.

Emotions cannot be dictated upon. What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting emotions cannot be controlled?

It is more and more disturbing to me that religious extremists in the U.S. expect more and more that their particular religious freedoms trump everyone else's in a public place. Whether it be Jews, or Christians, or whomever. I'm sick of it. Do what you want in your private spaces like home and...

Was talking with my brother a few nights ago and the subject of life here and elsewhere came up. Interesting piece of information popped out from our discussion and investigation. How long has multicellular life existed on planet Earth? What would be your guess, just off the top of your head...

The real question is - Does it matter? Hahahaha. I made a funny!

There is nothing wrong with Biblical references. The point is the only evidence for JC is in the Bible. There are no sources outside of Biblical references that even mention his name. Who says Josephus is not considered a reliable source? Do a Google search and look at the hundreds of links that...

Didn't you post this exact same challenge a few months back, Shib? It is not possible to debate the point with you because you insist you use logic to come to your conclusions, and your version of 'logic' is not comparable to any form of logic I have ever been taught.

Ah but how do you know it is a virtual face? It is a belief! Hah!

I do not disagree with your comments completely. Historically we were never more smart or more stupid than other countries. HOWever, that cannot be said to be true today. Americans today, by and large, are incredibly more ignorant than any other modern industrialized nation.

Yep. Belief is the appropriate term here. There is no direct evidence of divinity. No test can be performed to prove or disprove such an entity. It all falls on personal belief.
