    Isn't sex outside marriage considered to be a sin?

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    But as I said previously, if there's no geological evidence for such a flood, then it's just a story ─ local or adopted ─ about a bad rainy season ─ something we're all getting to know better right now.

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    I'd hope the learning would review their thinking regardless.

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    It's all very well to cite legends of great floods. What each claim needs is its own geological evidence. (One hypothesis for the allegedly widespread legends is the rising of the seas at the end of the last ice age, say around 11,700 years ago. It's not my impression that it has many friends...

    Jesus is not God

    That's simply wrong. Jesus didn't officially become God until the adoption of the Trinity notion in the 4th century. There is not a single example of any version of Jesus in the NT saying "I am God". Instead all five versions state that they are NOT God. I bet you ten imaginary dollars you...

    Jesus is not God

    No, that is something scripture expressly states. I gave you some of the quotes. Do you think the Jesus of Mark and the Jesus of Matthew were actually saying, "Me, me, why have I forsaken me?" Do you think the four gospel versions of Jesus were saying "If it be my will, let this cup pass from...

    If science is so great why hasn't it solved all of humanitys problems ?

    Science has certainly done more than religion to create the modern world, modern medicine, communications, transport, exploration of the solar system, relief of poverty, better seeds, breeds and crops, on and on. What do you say religion has done lately that matters ─ other than that brand of...

    Jesus is not God

    Hi! He's doing what an envoy does, representing his boss. There is no reference to or inference of a Trinity in the NT. The Trinity is an addition to Christianity which, beginning in the 2nd century CE, was formalized into a Trinity, arising out of early church politics anxious to elevate...

    Jesus is not God

    All five NT versions of Jesus deny that they're God and never claim to be God. For example ─ 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist...

    Jesus is not God

    If you've read the gospel of John then you know that's wrong. The gnostic-influenced author of John conceives of God as an immensely remote, immensely spiritual, immensely pure being who would never sully [him]self with a material universe ─ which is why the Jesus of John, like the Jesus of...

    Homophobia

    We each have to work through adolescence. I dare say you can remember your own, And as I recall, ages of consent are notably lower than voting ages in most jurisdictions.

    Homophobia

    What adults choose to do in bed together? They do. It's no one else's business.

    Homophobia

    It can be as much an act of love as any other form of sexual expression. And not only between males. This article >One in four straight women are having anal sex a few times a month< says 25% of women do it voluntarily and regularly for pleasure. Even if we reduce that to 5%, that's a lot of...

    Homophobia

    No reason why it can't be ─ those adults are consenting, after all.

    Homophobia

    As I said earlier, if you take the Genesis view, God created humans, and thus the entire range of human sexuality ─ and being omniscient, [he] knew when [he] did this, and thus intended, all the consequences. Given an omnipotent God, no alternative view is possible, regardless of any other...

    Canada Using Communist Tactics

    I think no small part of the motivation for the present war is Netanyahu's desire to stay beyond the reach of Israeli law by remaining PM. Donald Trump would sympathize instantly with that. Ever since I was referred to the word "nakba", I've had a much clearer view of where the Gazans are...

    "Elohim" Before Clear Monotheism

    The God of the early part of the Tanakh, up to Isaiah, is a henotheist god, which is to say, the existence of other gods is acknowledged, but superiority is claimed for one's own deity. The most famous example is "no other gods before me" in the Decalogue, rather than "there are no other gods"...

    I Propose A Challenge

    It's just another way of saying I see no point to your challenge. The more I've looked at Christianity, the less I've found to like ─ some notes here >Your Complaints About Christianity?< ─ though some people very high in my estimation are Christians.

    I Propose A Challenge

    Those who don't believe in Ollie the Magic Octopus, I challenge you to pretend that you do for about a week and come back here and tell me if you feel any different, You have to pretend that Ollie is alive in your calamari though, whatever that means to your intestines.
