Evolution has two meanings. First is means life changes and that is a fact. Second it is a theory and as a Scientific theory it has massive support, but it can not be proven. Science does not work that way.
What about the right of the Palestinians to do so? They were simply displaced and unsupported by the UK and the UN even though it went against UN laws.
I put human rights higher than the legality of how it was formed.
What about Palestine, including the land Israel was built on.
The Zionists formed Israel with the blessing of the UN and the UK, but no one seemed to take the Palestinian point of view into consideration. Their land was taken and then people call them terrorists for fighting to take it back.
Even many Jews are against Israel.
Yes, women can be sexist to men. Men can be sexist to men. There is really no question here.
Look on the yes side. I am pretty sure all the progressives are over there.
Every democracy is a republic the definitions are very similar. It is basically a government run by elected official within the rule of law.
Dictatorships invariably go bad. Democracies move slower and are not perfect, but it is really hard for them to mess things up as bad and even when they do it is largely because they have become ... a dictatorship.
It is pointless to debate this only with numbers, that misses the main point of the problem. That being said, people always find ways around things. There is no way to predict how many it would stop.
If you legalize something it would no longer be the providence of crime. When legal sex workers could report criminal conditions without fear of going to jail themselves.
It is because sex workers would not be reluctant to report rapes against them as they are now,
Make up is ot even part of the cause. The cause is in the rapist not the victim.
War is horrific and it changes people and not in a good way. Rare is the circumstance that war is a good idea.
We know very little about that. I agree common sense would indicate that there must be a cause. No reason to assume it must be a god. On the other hand, we are talking about the origin of time and space as we know it. Cause and effect works within time. What is cause without time? I don't know. Do you?
Most skeptics take pride in their intellectual ability and like to think that they have no "beliefs."
This is a twisting of words. Skeptics have beliefs and they will admit to it. What they will claim is they have no belief in god(s).
Most skeptics who are atheists believe that all phenomena have naturalistic causes.
I thin it is simpler to say they have no concrete reason to believe otherwise.
So, we have come to realize that the universe first began to exist 13.7 billion years ago. Atheists are left with a dilemma, since their worldview requires that all things that begin to exist must have a cause.
OK. The universe had a cause. And? I am not going to jump to the conclusion it was a god which would then be harder to explain than the universe.
The physical laws of the universe fall within very narrow ranges in order for life (or even matter) to exist, suggesting some level of design
This is like saying the odds of a puddle being the exact right shape for the water in it to fit requires a designer. It is silly. The vast majority of the universe it incredibly inhospitable to life. It took the right conditions for life to come about. It seems to me this in no way shows a designer.
I agree the strong atheist position is not fully rational. More rational than the theist position, but still not fully rational.
Unless Vader has a helmet like Magneto I don't think there would be much challenge.
While animal products are used in many things it does not mean all those things are made from animal products.
The problem is not so much the choice as how does one know what is right. You will claim one knows because the bible says so, but how do you know that? How do you know the bible is right?
I don;t support the works of Satan, but nice of you to keep me in your thoughts.
I agree with you. That is what I was saying. Saying someone should not wear makeup as it will cause rape is wrong on a number of counts. It doesn't cause it and while it has the potential to attract a rapist, so does not wearing make-up. You never know, so it is a bad argument.
It is like being a sports enthusiast. Some care what other believe and some do not. It has no relation.
I don't condone filth, you just judge it that from your book guided morality.
It is not about pretending. If it is correct then it can withstand the questioning.
But claiming me wrong because I support homosexuals is simply blind faith in your book-with no foundation for your faith in the Bible other than your blind unquestioning faith.
Your only other post in this thread, not debate, is the following:
1. That's a no brainer, figure it out.
2. It requires intelligence to continue this species. It takes unintelligence to go against your own anatomy.
3. Because you are just an immoral person.
4. Yes, if the parent takes the child to church, and the child learns God's word, he will grow up in the admonition of the Lord.
ALL AGES.
No question. Maybe you don;t understand what thread means?
You can use a pronoun where ever you like, but it is then far from clear.
If I have o real answers why would I need a little text book? I think. I give answers, you do not other than because it is in the Bible.
I believe you are wrong, I did not say you were right. I said based on your assumption you were. The problem is your assumption is not supported by an significant evidence.
We would not want the mind to question your blind faith, that could make you realize how baseless it is.
My point is you are claiming it is bad based on nothing but faith.
I am debating, but it is clear you are not. You are simply being rude and argumentative, basically being a Troll.
I am sensible thanks, I was raised with your god, but I saw the world is full of conflicting religions that assume something and let nothing sway themselves from that, just like you are doing.
Lets pretend for a moment your faith is wrong. If you never question it you can never know that.
Ad no I am afraid you are not clear.
For example you ever stated how I am wrong.
Why do you use the same response to all of your arguments
First don;t respond to my arguments, I respond to others and second you need to not use a pronoun here. What response would that be?
Again, you have not answered the question I asked.
What question. I went through this whole thread and didn't see a question from you.
You really are simple and have no basis for which you stand.
It is really you whole need to support your position. You need to show it is wrong.
And the "anything goes" reference was this member's way of stating how non-believing, immoral people live.
Based on the assumption you could not be wrong.
Oh, well let the homo go and be taught he is wrong. That is a great idea you stated here. He should learn to mimic me and witness to other sinners about homosexuality being totally wrong and he shouldn't wonder about homosexuality sending him to hell, but rather he should KNOW it will send him to hell.
Actually as i understand it, it is the act that is a sin in your faith not the simple act of being attracted to the same sex so no he should not know that.
How am I wrong? You are never clear about things. I do my best to be skeptical about myself. Are you skeptical about your faith?
I am not off topic. Your claims are based on your faith in the bible, which apparently is bases on your faith in Jesus.
Blind faith is hardly a good reason to call something wrong.
You definition of corruption is circular and pointless.
I don't have any homework thanks. This is a debate site not a site for belittling other who simply don't share your point of view.
Pick-me up. You can read right?
I realize you meant it as a joke, sadly it was not funny.
I did say that rapist are attracted to girls is many ways and ways that we don't know about. It's in their minds we can't read what is in their minds because rapist do more to a girl besides rape them I know they cause rape but there are things rapist like to see also in their target. All rapist rape but they don't all think the same.
Did you mean to say you know they don't cause rape? If not I don;t understand.
In all the things that plays a part in girls getting rape.
Of course I am not. I am sure that a girl wearing makeup does not cause it though.
Right they could influence a rapist as well that is why we need to protect our children if you have them (I don't have kids). To be honest if I had kids it's going to be hard for me to even accept the positive things the world can give them because of all the bad stuff that's happening.
So you agree it does not cause rape, which was your initial claim.
I have a son 20 and a daughter who is 16 and the world is full of positive things.
The description is very simple. An atheist is a person who has no faith in god(s). That is it.
I think you missed the sarcasm. I am willing to listen to any rational debate, sadly you do not seem to have that capacity. I am both open minded and skeptical, you don;t not seem to be either.
The point of this web site is to debate. You may want to have fun at it and hope you do, but just like playing basketball is for fun you do need to play basketball.
So you have no clue. You can't answer a simple question, because it has not a thing to do with intelligence.
You said "What you support has everything in the world to do with satan."
Everyhting.
And how do you know the Bible is correct?
Being corrupt means what in terms of an individual?
You didn't answer either question.
How do you know it and what does it mean?
How is it a stupid question? Or do you just like ridiculing people?
Why do you think we can't stand that question?
ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on
And here I thought you believed in free will. I guess I was mistaken?
And based on my words, what do I support? Or do you just assume it all?
I capitalized Satan because it is a proper name. I also capitalize Yahweh when I write it.
I didn't miss that you believe they are both wrong, where I only believe one is. Did you think I would read your words and suddenly accept your point of view?
Hormones don't attract you to other people in your gender, and you don't always fall for your desires do you because some of them can ruin your life as you know it.
First you didn't answer the question I asked. Second how do you know it has nothing to do with hormones?
From your "anything goes" point of views you aren't very moral.
Anything goes? Far from it. All you know is one thing I don't think is wrong and you do, but of course why would that stop you from assuming everything else?
Quite frankly that reply made no sense.
I will break it down for you.
A homosexual can go and be taught how he feels is wrong.
He can learn to act like you and tell other homosexuals they are wrong.
He can also wonder his whole life if his homosexuality will send him to hell.
I am actually very open to reason. You are simply prattling on about your belief. There is no reason in your words.
I have nothing to do with Satan.
Explain how intelligence suggests you need to walk in the spirit?
Because of course you know you are right. You could not be wrong, your arrogance would not let you be.
