Starchild123's Waterfall RSS

This personal waterfall shows you all of Starchild123's arguments, looking across every debate.

Theists (specifically Monotheists) usually assume both the morality, omniscience, and omnipotence of God. With these in mind, that such a being would be aware of the objectively "best" (here meaning morally correct for all involved) course of events that could take place, and how to cause this chain of happenings to manifest. As this being is also moral and omnipotent, it possesses both the will and the means to do so. With these starting assumptions (and the assumed existence of God itself) in mind, it follows that all the events of history have been the objectively "best" possible for all involved.

Interesting thought. I had come to a similar conclusion, but my only problem is that we cannot know what God deems as "best". What if God believes that the existence of free will and the ability to exercise that will is "best"? This would mean that the "best" possible outcome for his creation is for them to make their own decisions regardless if they are against his commands and beliefs.

Also, following up with the ways people see God, what if God is not omniscient or omnipotent? What cannot test God's abilities or measure them (another reason why I question the faith sometimes). My reasoning above may be flawed and if it is do not be afraid to point it out or give your own thoughts about it. This is certainly an interesting topic.

I meant that someone can trust the media. You can trust them. Allow me to restate my position. You can place your trust in the media. That is an option anyone can make. All media isn't false. All media isn't truthful. You have to believe what you want and trust who you want. So yes, the media "can" be trusted.

That would depend on how you approach the question. If trying a new religion one could say that it opens minds. It opens the person to a new realm of beliefs, morals, new concepts, etc. It can also be said that religion blinds people to the world around them. It blinds people to primarily scientific based explanation of the world, but mostly to anything that doesn't even appear to align with their religion. Religion can blind people from the opinions of others and possibly even the person hood of another.

My mother demands the toilet paper be under. Anything else and a fuse is broken.

Didn't give me the choice to debate with you on your last debate. Seems a little hypocritical, yes?

I don't see how anything you just posted had any relevance to what I said. No offense of course.

As I stated, cognition doesn't develop until late into the pregnancy. Are you suggesting a hypothetical situation where that isn't the case? If so, once cognition has developed I'm against abortion, regardless of how far along the pregnancy is.

I was curious if you were very strict on the line of cognition. I see you are. Thank you for your response. I typically hold the same belief.

That is also a really good question. From reading it would seem that Eve at least had some form of knowledge. I am not sure about how much.

Very interesting position. So as long as the fetus has no signs of cognition abortion acceptable in your eyes? Also, if I may ask, let's say a fetus is aborted while in has cognition, but isn't to far in the pregnancy, how does that affect your view?

No. Religion tends to simply place firm beliefs on what what is moral and what isn't. Religion usually depends on morality.

Worshipping an egg seems rather weird wouldn't you say? Allow me to clarify myself. Before you became you are today you were an egg. Once you were fertilized (sperm) you began to undergo changes. That is the very moment your physical existence started. Some may say you always existed as an egg, but it makes more sense to say you began existing when your cells first started multiplying.

You existed when your cells began to multiply. Your existence began when the egg became fertilized and underwent changes.

How can I expect my child to do good things if she doesn't know the difference between good and evil?

That's a good question. Interestingly Eve knew what seemed good to her. Eve seems capable of discerning good food from bad food. I'd imagine they understood the concept of good and bad and could apply it on a much greater scale. I could be wrong of course.

I believe their intentions and reasons behind their actions are what Christians use to define them as good or evil.

I understand. I was just curious about the reasoning behind your statement. Thank you for your answers.

If you want to ban men and men kissing, you have to also want to ban men and women kissing, because otherwise you're nothing more than an ignorant and prejudiced tool.

So since the only difference is the gender/sex wouldn't it be okay to not show a type of kissing to your child if you dont believe is men kissing men and women kissing women? What if in their mind their intentions are perceived as good?

Don't see the issue. If you want to ban gay kissing scenes, you have to want to ban all kissing scenes whatsoever.

Why is that?

First, for a community that wants acceptance and to be seen as anyone else, stop with the incessant labeling; and if you feel you need a label, BTQ should be sufficient.

I assumed labeling was natural. I thought everything was practically labeled. Otherwise nothing has a name or title.

How do you have free will without good and evil? How does good and evil prompt free will?

Then don't wander around this site acting like a Christian. If you are one act like it.

Interesting. We are all sinners, therefore naturally evil. Does that warrant me to insult you? Your goal, as a Christian, is to guide the lost and help the weak. Not insult them.

Interesting you say that. Your insults are sadly shy of truth.

There is no reason for God to intervene in any earthly suffering.

Of course. I have questioned my beliefs before. I like to give any evidence presented a chance. I'd like to know as much as possible and make a cboice to follow, or not follow, a religion based on all the information I have.
