As long as everyone is consenting, I don't see the problem. If a woman (or man for that matter) chooses to sell sex as a profession, if he or she is consentinng to this occupation, who are we to say no?
Actually, the Earth's age is relatively estimable. A monstrous flood that destroys the world? No evidence of it and nowhere is it recorded in history aside from the Bible. And if the Bible is to be believed, it had to happen in the last 6000 years, an age in which writing was already established...
The point of my comment being missed by a wide margin, I will now take the opportunity to clarify:
Christians do more condescending berating than evolutionists. Evolutionists generally only berate because they've beeen conditioned, by Christians, to expect it from theists. And thus...
What does atheism need?
Atheism needs people to open their eyes and see that science, logic, and reason makes more sense than old books written on the basis of mythology and superstition.

I've read every word of the Holy Bible three times and studied it extensively. I was raised in a Christian household with a Bible in every room. I know the book very well. And the only conclusion that it led me too is that it is one of the most amazing stories ever told. But that's all it is: A...
Silence is the beginning and the end, the greatest trick the universe ever played. Silence comes only before life and after death, the only true peace that exists. Life is chaos, noise. Death brings nonexistence, peace, silence. I have nothing I can call "faith" but this is the closest thing.
OP must be a thinly veiled troll, no one can possibly be that ignorant as to what the definition of "idolatry" is.
This entire thread is bloody insane.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't Sikhism more pantheistic than monotheistic? Seeing as how the "God" figure in Sikhism is an intangible, unknowable, undefined force, it would seem Sikhism aligns more with Pantheism or even Gnosticism than monotheism.
Another question. Can a Sikh work in a restaurant? Most healthcodes restrict facial hair, right? Is there any way around that which would allow a Sikh to keep their beard?
That would be intriguing. Fighting styles like this truly are art, I wish him luck in finding a worthy successor. It would be a shame to lose this repository of knowledge and art.
