looks like the debate of choice is at it again :D
sweet Nanda (i mean it literally, not cynically)
i admit, our belief is predetermined since birth. but those belief can either be changed with new found experience or be reinforced. that is when you choose sides. it doesn't happen in a snap of...
i think you miss my point my friend. i never said anything about my DNA sequence is perfect compared to other people. and certainly i'm no better than other people as well :no:
which supports my probability argument.
but we are still human.
yes i hear ya my brotha!! i never claim that evolution...
thanx for clarifying that. now i understand that we used the same analogy in a different perspective.
i do too. but to some extent.
Quran:
[21:30] Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all...
and like i said earlier, i am not a christian. and i believe there are contradictions in the bible. the sin that i was talking about is based on my belief. and my belief (i believe) on that subject (sin) is common sense and can be accepted by atheist.
its the same as a person has intention to...
well they werent gay then, if you assume that bisexual are not homosexual. coz they do both men and women. believe it or not it is also stated in the Quran.
In the life sciences, evolution is a change in the traits of living organisms over generations, including the emergence of new species. Since the development of modern genetics in the 1940s, evolution has been defined more specifically as a change in the frequency of alleles in a population from...
dont get me wrong, i'm not a chirstian, i myself find contradiction in the bible but that is not the case here. but i do read from some where in the bible that a community was destroyed by God for their homosexual conduct. i believe that place was called Sodom and Gomorrah or something like...
just trying not to look stupid, but isn't the question suppose to be "Should people stay virgins until they are married"?
but then again i could be wrong. if doppelganger really intended to ask "until they have sex?"
then i guess, it depends. if that sex is out of wedlock, then virginity is...
"In my experience atheists often know that book better than many Christians." then i assume you know for a fact (in the bible) that god clearly forbids homosexual act.
i noticed you used the word morally. like i said the question of this thread is whether homosexuality is a sin. atheist dont believe in the concept of sin. they rely on morals and ethics. we are not talking about whether homosexual is morally wrong instead whether it is a sin meaning in a point...
dearest Christine,
let them say what they want. you know what you know. and you believe in what you know. they know nothing about you and your belief.
i believe those kind of people are actually the ones who aren't sure about their belief. so they try to make other people's belief look bad to...
i believe this thread is meant for people of theist. because the question is "why is homosexual a sin?" when we talk about sin, we are talking about a concept in a religion. for an atheist, there is no such thing a sin to begin with. they only have ethics. if the question sounds something like...
"homosexuality is genetically predetermined," so what if its predetermined so what? it doesnt mean he doesnt have a choice. temptation differs from person to a person. say for a "predetermined" homosexual, the homosexual temptation is stronger. still he have a choice not to succumb to that...
now i am lost.... are you pro Creo or Pro Evo?
the right card that i meant was actually the right DNA sequence to create a living being.
"Magician" and "Card"
"God" and "DNA Sequence"
magician pulls the intended card resulting the right card to be shown
God pulls (create or direct whatever...
common sense...
A and B
A says "my belief is the truth. your belief is the very essence of evil and you are bound to go to hell unless you follow my belief becoz my book says so"
B says "my belief is this and that .... while from my understanding your believe is that and this which is totally...
