    Bench Press Contest

    Thanks. Like I stated before I have been able to find that a contest took place: http://www.iowastatefair.org/entertainment/dailyprogram_detail.php?id=1526&cat=26&cmonth=08&cyear=2006&cday=19 but I am still having problem finding results...

    Freethinking

    Sure, when somebody states that when people claim that the Bible is inspired by God, which actually takes into consideration other religious works, ontology, etc. which, by definition would be correlation, as could be done with proving the existence of this thread, that a geological movement...

    How to disprove God to a believer? (no really)...

    My previous post was not a claim at victory at all, which should've been evident by the lack of request for your acknowledgement of defeat. On the contrary, I hoped to get an explaination as to what I percieved to be an inconsistency with previous statements made on your part. Besides that, I...

    Freethinking

    I'm confident that I could make a case for both. Sure, one major factor that always needs to be taken into consideration is individual perception. For instance, one may claim to have witnessed a thread with 25 posts and another claims to have witnessed a thread with many posts. While there...

    Historical events could easily fit this catagory. Take for instance, this thread happening. Even if one were to erase this thread, unless we could go back in time, there are no conditions under which we could falsify the acknowledgement of this thread's existance at this particular time. Even if...

    You know Cal, I'm a bit hurt here. Was it not you who quoted to me and later stated Don't we have unfinished business? Then I catch you carrying on in the thread that started our last conversation. I'm sure you know what I am referring to here...

    Which Religion Offers You the Greatest Solace?

    I find Christianity to be both the most challenging religion and comforting. As a Christian, I find it the most challenging because of it's living standards which are impossible to fullfill. And yet I find comfort in the fact that this religion acknowledges that it is impossible to live up to...

    Poll: Theist, Atheist, Agnostic, Other

    *SoliDeoGloria sticks his finger in his ear, takes it out and then sticks it in his mouth and gives it a taste. He then takes his finger out of his mouth and declares:* Yep, I'm a Theist. Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    WOW!!! Great thread and points all around!!! I'm actually envious of the fact that I didn't get involved in this one earlier and make some of the points that have already been made. One major mistake people who get into Christian Apologetics make, including myself at one time, is to assume...

    Bench Press Contest

I've been trying to search for results on the internet and all I can find so far is that one happened yesterday, but no results as of yet. As soon as I find something, I'll post...

    Reality Check on the Justice System

    Another little known subject is the healthcare in prisons. What most people know about this subject is what they hear in the media. I personally have little faith in the media for many reasons, this being one of them. I had heard about some person in California who supposidly got a sex change...

    Reality Check on the Justice System

    Due to a recent conversation I had in another thread, I have felt the need to vent some things from the personal experience I had with the Justice System in the U.S. (Iowa). For anyone who doesn't know, I committed a crime in Dec. of 99. I plead guilty to a charge and was sentenced to ten...

    Idealistic moralities Vs "The real world"

    I would love to get a chance at meeting a few people (including the parole board) who were involved in my case and let them know that they were wrong at least about my case. The unfortunate thing is most people who get out who could've had all the intentions in the world to do right confront a...

    Idealistic moralities Vs "The real world"

    What incarcerated criminal didn't. Duh... The problem with this thinking is that, unless they committed a crime that deserves a life sentece, their going to get back out and regain their freedoms. Chances are they are going to be ****** off at society and commit crimes again. Don't believe...

    Idealistic moralities Vs "The real world"

    LOL, I just wouldn't want to end up in one of their prisons. I hear those "holligans" are some pretty tough dudes. In Iowa, All sexual offenders are considered for civil commitment for an indefinite amount of time after they serve their sentence. The thing is though, vengance is very much...

    Buddha has become a hip marketing tool.......is this a good thing?

    Well, I don't believe that Buddha is a human manifestation of God and I would still not think very highly of the idea of exploiting him just out of mutual respect and I don't appreciate it when Jesus Christ is exploited ( I think somebody mentioned that same concept ). I think it comes down to a...

    Exclusivism

    Oh Boy!!! I screwed up in my last post. That is why we are having this confusion. I meant to start it by stating I never stated that Christianity didn't claim to be superior not universal. Although Christianity does claim universality, but in a different context than what you are implying. You...

    Exclusivism

    I never stated that Christianity didn't claim to be universal. Believe it or not, most religions claim the same, they're just not as prominent in western civilization as Christianity so they don't have as loud of a voice as Christianity and don't get as much attention. The point I am trying to...
