hmmm newest results differ from the old ones a bit;)
I stick with the old ones for now. ( I hate polls with a strong agree, agree scale)
Economic Left/Right: 1.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56
Of course it is, just as any frequent sex is healthy. Raises the testosteron levels for males and reduces impotence.
Testosterone levels are linked to suicide rates amongst males.
Well a contention is not a proof.
There are so many gaps in your attempt that one could fill a page or two with a text concerning alteratives.
Anyway ...
Generally things aren't disprooven anyway. Things must be prooven or one shouldnt start taking them for granted in the first place.
No. I do not believe in arguments of majority or authority.
Perhaps i should give some background information.
I found it rather interesting that when asked the question i have put here quite a lot of theists answered me:
"Even if it was certain that there was no god i would believe in him"...
The whole story about eve eating from the tree doesnt make sense.
An allknowing god creates a garden and puts something in it which he doesnt want to be touched although he knows already that Satan will persuade eve and that it will be touched.
Actually the first evil so to speak could be...
Strange .. .I found the same video just yesterday and added it to my channel as well.
Anyway ... i think Harris is not completely correct. there are some incidences where you can seperate the two namely when a religious belief doesnt interfere with the science.
If for example you are a literal...
You changed the statement a bit. I am not sure yet as to whether it is relevant but i think it could be.
The question is NOT really about whether YOU are certain, but rather if IT was certain.
I mean IF there was objective truth and evidence that god doesnt exist... would you then accept that or...
If you are heterosexual then you do not need to "try" not to do it. You wont do anyway.
Or do you mean some other "sexual immorality"? If so which one ?
If you are a theist and if your religion teaches that homosexuality is a sin then of course you have the right to advocate homosexuality as a sin ACCORDING to your religion. No more than that.
Well of course it was not written by Satan. Satan doesnt exist. It was written by mankind.
But lets assume the context to be the one you believe in.
Just stating in a book that it was not Satan who did it doesnt mean it was so.
Satan himself could have inserted the passage. He also could have...
Theists:
Ultimately it is the human mind for it is the human mind that gives the bible its authority over other things. Later on it is the same mind that values the bible higher than other ideas that the very same human mind has.
Practically speaking of course apart of "positioning" the bible at...
... i mean if it was certain that god didn't exist....
could you accept that or would you still believe in some god ?
Background to the question comes later.
Generally i do NOT find homosexuality (male, female) to be "wrong" or "bad".
I think that apart of faith there are a lot of people that dislike homosexuality because of fear. Fear to get some desease, fear to be "infected" by homosexuality etc.
Interestingly more males dislike male...
Thats not a rule change. I am just telling you my experience.
Of course (as with any such challenge) there are no definite rules by which you can go anyway. The evaluation itself is not following a defined standard.
Of course nobody accepts it if he knows that it is not in the quran.
I have seen people write such verses (alco in arabic) and the challenge was fullfilled when people didnt know the quran comepletely and thought it to be a verse of it.
If they knew it was not the challenge of course was never...
Hello Dunemeister,
the reversal of burdon of proof doesnt really work with me i must say.
When we are talking about what is we should examine the evidence FOR something and present a case and not start debating about the possibilities of disprooving something that wasn't prooven in the first...
