    Just Accidental?

    I think that the evidence suggests where the bus came from. We follow the evidence and we will come up with the correct answer. Now seeing as people are different than buses we will have to follow a different trail of evidence. But the point made was that beliefs based on evidence are not...

    The Book of Mormon vs. The King James Version of the Bible

    Not necessarily. In fact the tower of Babel is a commonly referred to story for describing the phenomenon of vastly differnet people, cultures and languages. I don't actually recall where i was going with this point. I may have mis-read your response. If I remember I'll bring it back up but...

    What is 'Islamophobia'?

    It is both. Many defendants of Islam use it to silence critique and criticism. But then we have "good ol' boys Buck Tim, Bobby Joe sue and Billy Tuck" attacking muslims randomly out of hatred for the religion. So yes it exists but lets be careful and meaningful for when we use the word. I have...

    "Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church"

    Nah. Nothing so theatrical or grandiose. You aren't at a place where anyone needs to stand up to you. At least not here on the forum. I am just having open and honest comments during our debate. I could say that christians are pedantic troglodytes with a woefull dissonance with reality. I could...

    Functionally yes. Architecturally no.

    Freedom, Democracy, and the Republic

    The law of the system is still a democratic republic. Only those who win the vote are in office. However the nomination process that has been carved out functions as an oilgarchy.

    This particular article is fake however.

    United Nations to ban religion?

    Okay Daily news is a fake news site that has a disclaimer that states that it isn't accountable for anything they post as being fake. This was back in 2014 and is fake. I see that you have already found this out later in the thread so I will leave this as it is. So do you even check your...

    United Nations to ban religion?

    There is no evidence they did. There is zero evidence any of it even happened. We don't have a written account of who any of these nameless people were. Its like I asked you to prove that the beaver citizens of Narnia thought the human children were bad rulers.

    United Nations to ban religion?

    You assure me? You where there? The illiad and oddesy are not historical documents. We don't care what they said. But when you tell me you have the undeniable fricking word of god you damn well better be able to deliver! And there are minor but no major contradictions in the cannonized bible...

    United Nations to ban religion?

    None of which were historical in nature. None of which were written during the time of Jesus. All of which were written from theological standpionts of believers in said religion. Most of which contradicted in some way shape or form. None of which we have originals for.

    Currently by my count we have zero leading into zero documents recording the micracles he preformed. What non biblical records are you talking about?

    United Nations to ban religion?

    Like stone our wives if they are not virgins when we marry? Cut of wives's hands when they get involved in an argument and misrepresent you? Stone your son for working on the sabbath? Have your daughter marry her rapist to keep her honor? Sacrifice our children at the altar if we hear a voice in...

    Freedom, Democracy, and the Republic

    I agree its an oligarchical republic in function but not by system. A true oligarchy is outright states that those with money have votes and others do not. Currently we have a lax regulation that allows us to play this illusion of democracy. But the intended system, and it can be created as such...

    "Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church"

    I'll lecture you all I want. Especially when I'm right. You can scrutinize and admonish all you like. But when you outright say that the parents are failures that is judgement. EVEN IF you blame the parents you are still judging the children. You call them promiscuous wretches for exaple. That...

    The Book of Mormon vs. The King James Version of the Bible

    Actually back in those times they didn't believe that they were decended from anyone anymore than africans or asians. Evolution hadn't caught on in the pubilc by his time. So no. Just no. I mean how is this any different than when an Muslim tells me that the Qu'ran is perfect and I should go...

    United Nations to ban religion?

    Sure. On Josephus we know for a fact it was polarized. This was revelaed by a study done by Catholics. The real issue is if there really was a man who was preforming miracles in front of thousands of people then why in the hell isn't there any records anywhere else? Its not that there were not...

    Just Accidental?

    Except its not. If I have a belief that the bus will arrive on time based on past evidence of the bus arriving it is very very very very different than the belief that the bus is actually a psychic whale that is eating little bits of our souls each time we ride it. Both are beliefs right? So...

    "Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church"

    Then you are still judging the parents. Judgement of them or the parents is neither here nor there. I don't care if you judge. Go ahead. I judge all the time. Just don't claim to back the religion that states that you shouldn't judge. I find there is a lot of Catholic arrogance to be had in just...

    United Nations to ban religion?

    There are valid reasons for not having your children urinate on the floor and to show general human respect to siblnigs. That is not indoctrination to a belief system. I don't believe there is a god so therefore I don't believe in a heaven. If I ever have children I plan on letting them know...
