    Do We Need Faith?

    Not exactly. For some it means a lack of belief. Atheist Anna (soft atheist) will say, “I lack belief”. Atheist Emma (hard atheist) will say, “God /Gods do not exist. The hard atheist denies the existence of at least one god, usually multiple gods, and sometimes the possible existence of any...

    I did not mention proof. How do you decide whether to believe it or not?

    Nothing lasts forever in this life

    What C. S. Lewis Believed about Hell Hell is an everlasting ruin, a decay, crumbling, retreating into yourself, a loss of all rationality and joy, a plunging into misery. But, it’s a self-plunging. It’s a gnawing and an ache, but it’s oriented inward, downward into the abyss. Heaven is this...

    Solution to homosexuals is by government executions according to Pastor.

    So it's a bit like: A. Hi, I'm Lesley. B. Hi! What a coincidence -- me too! A. (Smiles) What are your preferred pronouns? B. Just call me They.

    I wasn't sure what it meant, which is why I asked. What are your pronouns?

    Do We Need Faith?

    Really? So you'll be able to explain how something can possibly be more or less subjective than something else. I can't wait! ;)

    The good atheist

    I believe that hell would be infinitely worse than life on earth. I believe that we have never been beyond God's reach while we are alive (whether we believe in Him or not). He is never absent. However, hell is where God is absent. "The doors of hell are locked on the inside". C.S. Lewis

    Do We Need Faith?

    First four words are true....:D And many of these scientists are/were Christians. I live in Europe. Christians organize many groups which help the disadvantaged and the vulnerable. I work, along with other Christians, with people who are dealing with the problems of addiction. We help with...

    Solution to homosexuals is by government executions according to Pastor.

    Well, no actually. As I said, I disagree with literalistic interpretations of 'what God said'. It’s really important when reading the many and varied books of the Bible to consider genre and also the intent behind the author's words. A literalist reads as if the entire Bible is communicating...

    Solution to homosexuals is by government executions according to Pastor.

    I consider myself to be modern and civilized, and I disagree with those who read the Bible in a literalistic fashion, taking no account of context. I do not disagree with the Word of God.

    Solution to homosexuals is by government executions according to Pastor.

    Your sentence: I just had a first date on Thursday and we navigated pronouns, sexuality, practices, family and politics within the first hour. Does 'navigation of pronouns' mean that one or both of you asked the other, "What are your pronouns?"
