    It is Faith vs. Law for Himachal Pradesh.

    Dan said "So it's basically an issue of secular law vs. religious law." I see it rather differently. What is at stake here is whether the employer can force their personal religious laws on their employees.

    It is Faith vs. Law for Himachal Pradesh.

    And if a particular religion involves human sacrifice? And stopping that practice would lead to divine wrath according to this belief? What then? Where is the line where secular law must decide if religious law is to be legal or not.

    What makes you think everyone else is wrong about belief

    Agreed. The concept that my belief is right for me is sound. And fair. The concept that my belief is right for everyone is neither.

    The Absolute Unity of God

    Your thinking is sound as long as you decide up front that there is but one Primal Cause, which leads itself to a single Creator. Monotheism is not the only form of religion on the planet though. There are polytheistic ones as well where creation and destruction is shared by a group of Gods...

    What makes you think everyone else is wrong about belief

    Lamson suggested it would make for an interesting thread to turn the question around. Instead of 'How do you know you are right about your beliefs', what about 'How do you know everyone else is wrong'. My response is that I don't know that I am right. I have no idea whether I am right. To me...

    Great idea. Consider it done!

    Hey creationists: 2 newly-discovered species 500 million years old

    Dan, the main tenant of creationism is that God created all creatures as they exist today. Creationists reject evolution and believe in a a literalistic reading of the Book of Genesis. Good Ol' Wiki has a decent summation of their beliefs. Creationism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

    Hey creationists: 2 newly-discovered species 500 million years old

    There have been one or two people who stated they believed that creationism could be considered as valid as science. That's about it. Dan why would this God do that? I mean, I've heard of being sensitive about your age, but this takes the cake!

    Hey creationists: 2 newly-discovered species 500 million years old

    Actually one of the most irrefutable proofs that creationism is wrong was put forth by DeGrasse Tyson in the Cosmos remake. We know for a fact what the speed of light is. We know for a fact that this speed is a cosmological constant. The speed of light is the same everywhere. A light year is...

    The truth about Trinity

    "Religion is like a penis, it is fine that you have one, but don't wave it in my face and if you try to shove it down my throat, we got a problem!" Wil. Okay that is the most hilariously blasphemous comment of the entire thread, if not the entire site! Words of wisdom? Not so much. Laying it...

    The truth about Trinity

    There is a difference though. All the other examples you mentioned are words whose meaning has changed over time. The older meaning has gone out of favor for the newer one. Still one meaning though. You mention gay in today's world and most everyone knows what you are talking about. Trinity...

    The truth about Trinity

    Seems to me that the 'truth' about Trinity is not fixed; rather random depending on what one considers the source should be.

    There's no conspiracy to silence you Toshka, much as you probably would like to believe otherwise. All of us, as new members, had a few posts held for inspection that never made it back to the boards. Our benevolent leader doesn't always have the time to devote to stuff like this as he would...

    Permission to kill those who reject Islam

    Andy I take it your friends identify themselves with the Christian faiths? Tell them to take a good look at the Crusades and the brutality and atrocities of the Holy Christians at that time. Most all religions have had times in their histories where they have failed completely to follow the...

    A question for Christian women

    As to the original question. I would not assume to have a clue what JC would say to such a question. If, however, I were JC my answer would be something along the lines of the size of your bum is butt vanity (joke intended). People have far more important things to think about. Like their...

    A question for Christian women

    Okay it has been well established that I'm the show-me-the-evidence guy around here. Soooooo. Jane, it seems to me that a picture of said derriere would be appropriate to justify your claim.

    God is with form or without form?

    Well Taij you keep saying there will be proof of your giants soon enough. Which would be very cool because there certainly is no verifiable, undeniable, modern proof of giant humans today. Most of the famous pictures of finding skeletons of giant humans have been found to be Photoshop fakes...
