An open mind is always a good thing. An open mind which is lacking in critical thinking, however, is simply a sieve, collecting nothing, holding nothing. Fact is? The hard truth of the matter? For those of faith is there is no empirical and damn little in the way of circumstantial evidence...
Isn't interesting Trump's tweets began to hit the fan concerning these Watergate comparisons right after such comparisons were being made in the media between Trump and same? Classic Trump: Whenever accused, turn the accusation back towards the accuser. "I know you are, but what am I?"
It's...
I find it disappointing to say the least that the anti-choice rabble consists mainly of religious zealots who are so obsessed with "pre-life" and the afterlife they neglect the only life that truly matters: this one. The anti-choice rabble, for all apparent purposes, seem to loathe children and...
Actually no babies are truly aborted and fetuses are only...let me repeat: ONLY...aborted in those cases where there is a direct danger to the mother or some other catastrophic medical emergency. Nearly every abortion conducted is done so during the first trimester when the fetus is nothing more...
Of course the do. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are what are known as the Abrahamic Faiths because they all worship the same god: The God of Abraham. Their differences in approach are entirely cultural. I mean, even among Christianity there are over 30,000 sects and denominations, most of...
And that is the nature of faith. Nothing of the Bible, not one word of it, can be taken at face value, i. e., literally as there is no evidence to support any of the contents therein. But to the truly faithful that should not be an issue as the nature of faith precludes empirical evidence. In...
Brings to mind another dupe often employed by the weak of faith on the unbeliever: Pascal's Wager. A premise that is dishonest on its face as it is an attempt to pull the wool over God's eyes. I thought God saw all, and hence was unwoolable. Of course, one does get the impression of God's...
Katie, my dear, methinks you have a somewhat vague idea of what constitutes faith, or the definition thereof. Faith, how you see it, is actually the secondary definition of the term. The primary definition of “faith” is: complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
The faith in which...
Adherents of the Abrahamic faiths don't seem to get that their scriptures' entire concept of Hell is proof-positive the
God they worship is imperfect; fatally flawed. Otherwise why create a place for all one's rejects? Wouldn't God,
inherently, be incapable of imperfection? One but has to gaze...
His Jo. Remember me from the ol' "Do You Believe" forums? I'm Ghstwrtrx7. I think the last time we "talked" was about 4 years ago. Anyway, hope you're doing well.
