Is there nothing that cannot be forgiven?
So would I. What does that have to do with Jehova or Allah? Interesting. So what does the word "God" mean?
I think what neodude is saying is that, even if someone knows what you are going to go, it doesn't mean that what you do isn't your choice....
Well, "nameless" was unnecessary, really. But yes, I meant some entity which, perhaps, goes by many names, takes on the forms and...
Plato - I think - said the same about the word "dog". If you ask a roomful of people to draw a dog, and don't give them any more description of...
You misunderstand: I was saying that "selection" implies that. But no, people really do attribute consciousness to nature. Not just Gaia...
Um... I'm not suggesting that they come from anywhere other than the most obvious source, dude. They're human, thus every bit as fallible as...
Is it any less descriptive than any other word? I know that the question being asked was about God, but it could've been asked about anything....
C. Life and consciousness are flukes of physics, and purely accidental.
Why do we assume that God couldn't know everything but still need to allow things to happen? Maybe the future (which he knows) is dependent on...
Aren't you only saying that because you believe in God though? :) I mean, to me, raised by an atheist, adamantly anti-religious father and a...
I'm guessing it's someone else who wants to object to gays definitely absolutely censoring his right to free speech by saying things that can only...
Not really. Human evolution will at the very least have to be engineered by some conscious intention. We're simply too able to ensure our own...
Well quite, they all imply selection, a conscious choice being made, and by extension a goal, an end, or some rationale that informs that choice....
Well, also, natural selection implies that someone (capital-N "Nature", perhaps?) is doing the selecting. Part of the problem with "survival of...
Hate to drag this crappy metaphor out of the pile, but did you never get taken around to the house of a kid with chickenpox as a kid? It sucked...
Too complex for this forum? It seems to be pretty much at the heart of the original post, and yet has been more or less skirted around. Is God...
Which is how we know that the story of Adam & Eve is a parable. If God is all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful and infinite, he's seen EVERY...
So that makes it okay? "Phobia" refers to "fear of or aversion to" something. It also doesn't necessarily refer to the kind of violent hatred...
Immorality depends on the morals really. Today's immoral filth is tomorrow harmless deviance, just as yesterday's routine behaviour is today's...
Separate names with a comma.
