    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    In my opinion, not all religion gives a valid view of reality. But that is the nature of the game. Not every religion can be valid in reflecting reality. Especially those that diametrically appose one another in some fashion. A common misconception about religion is that it must, by its very...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    If you'd indulge me I have a few questions... 1) How do you define a religious belief 2) What kind of evolution are you asking about? 3) In what way do you understand that science can validate evolution? 4) Do you think religion must reject evolution?

    pope made homophobic slur

    If your tired of that then stop thinking about who specifically is sleeping with who. Conversations about sexuality are a different matter. If you wish to be an engaged Christian then the issues that arise concerning sexuality are relevant to your understanding of Christianity since Christian...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Lol...if you still don't get it you probably should have left Atheist out of your post or at least investigate a tad further. But that's all right. As you've said at least I've amused myself. I'm more of a sit down and ponder kind of comedian. Some people might consider me the butt of my own...

    pope made homophobic slur

    What do you mean by "good gay"? Follow the laws of the land? What I mean is that if Alan Turing wouldn't have irrationally poked the bear before he was in a better position to do so it may have saved him some tragic circumstances in his life. Good grief, if you want to win the pot you have to...

    pope made homophobic slur

    This may lead into more in-depth discussion for some but you mentioned Atheists and you asked if they are allowed to have opinions. The short answer is no - Atheists, according to themselves, have no opinions because by definition they are allowed none. Incidentally I disagree with that...

    pope made homophobic slur

    No, masses of heterosexuals are standing up for LGBT individuals rights to make same sex marriage legal. And because of that it has in most places. No, they are petitioning the government to make heterosexual dissent against things like allowing transsexual choice of public showers and...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Why should it be totally irrelevant? You've got to determine that right? Consider this, your trying to make it relevant by celebrating sexuality today. Why should it be totally irrelevant? Those that consider sexuality in a person would ask that question. Should pedophilia or bestiality or...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Aren't the LGBTQ++ people trying to do the equivalent? And I'm not talking about their humanity. I'm talking about their sexualities. Anyhow, Christianity, according to what Christ taught, is a religion of choice not force. Any Christian who tries to force instead of convince another person to...

    pope made homophobic slur

    You don't have to be so serious. It was humorous to me and I shared why. What evidence do you want me to provide you about my experience and are you really interested in seeing me prove my experiences that I found humorous? Not everything has to be or should have to be a proven thing. Just go...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Just that every time I try to discuss religious topics, specifically God/gods of course, with Atheists they insist they have no opinions on the matter that they need to defend. I don't know...I just found what you said somewhat humorous in that regard.

    pope made homophobic slur

    Hi, just butting in. Kick me away if you wish. Was just curious to get the view from a "gay folk" person. How do you interpret Christian scriptures view on homosexuality, please note the related verses so I know we are referencing the same thing? Other than what we may interpret as homosexual...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Lol...don't atheists go out of their way to insist they have no opinion? Maybe I'm getting the wrong impression.:yum:

    pope made homophobic slur

    And, again...nothing. No presented reasoning, no counterpoints, no factual examples. Same delusional groove. You're not listening to what I'm saying or have said. I've repeatedly step by step pointed out the facts which indicate otherwise. Your either incapable of understanding or just refuse to...

    pope made homophobic slur

    And I just quoted some of those words/sentences a gave my reasoning and offered to explain myself on any others you care to reference. See below... What my explanations show is that you continually misquote/misinterpret what I've said. The above is what you quoted that I said. And taken out of...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Deny? What is it I'm denying without good reason? If I've denied something it is with reason. Reason that is posted here right alongside the denial. Lol....I expect to get called out. I expect to be insulted, accused, and disagreed with. That is why I am here. To express my belief get others...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Yeah...sure. I think we've been over this. However, I'm willing to continue listening to and replying to what you have to say. If its important to you in this discussion I will treat it as important. Follow with me on my reasoning... I do not fear homosexuality by definition. If I'm...

    pope made homophobic slur

    And arguments have been made as to why. Not all but many religious people are very good at judging their fellow human beings - almost as good as many secular people.;) Their zealousness is often misplaced. My religion teaches that judgement is reserved for God alone. We are not to judge others...

    pope made homophobic slur

    I'm sorry you feel I ignored what you said. If you noticed something you felt I ignored it was not intentional. I do not ignore. I reply to. Let me be clear. I am here to debate issues. I do not claim to be absolutely right and I hope not to be absolutely wrong. Somewhere between those two...

    pope made homophobic slur

    Pride goes before the fall and is not always a virtuous thing to hold. How many dictators and megalomaniacs are so proud of themselves that by anyone else's standards should be ashamed? Having pride in a sexuality is ludicrous in my estimation. The celebration of how someone prefers to have sex...
