    "Christian Right Activists: Homosexuality is Unnatural Because Kids Find It Icky"

    The Christian right kinda defeats it's own argument there. Because on the other hand- they don't want gay parents raising kids, so that they might see same-sex behavior as normal. If their logic is correct as described in the OP: why would it matter?

    "Christian Right Activists: Homosexuality is Unnatural Because Kids Find It Icky"

    I wonder if children raised with two parents of the same sex and being exposed to that as the norm their entire life would give the same response? I doubt it.

    What Do Trump and Republicans Mean by “Collusion”?

    Nope I'm not falling for the 'but Clinton' tactic. Trump's crimes are a matter of court record. Are you going to deny those?

    What about music in worship?

    There's a lot of arguably petty things your Bible claims your god cares about. Music ranks as pretty significant compared to some of those things.

    Jehovah's Witness cartoon suggests to Children that magic-themed toys make Jehovah 'sad'

    That sleep is not known beyond a doubt as actual sleep though. There are other passages that call this view into question. That's the whole problem with the Bible to begin with. It contains seemingly contradictory statements, which I'd expect if many authors in fact wrote it. Revelation depicts...

    Why reject atheism?

    I hope you would not seriously claim that Bahaullah was the first person in human history to forbid slavery. The Buddha didn't allow slavery. Zoroaster, as I understand it- did not allow slavery either. In fact, Zoroastrianism contains the strongest religious condemnation of slavery I've ever...

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    You make it sound as though we're all going to, or must accept Bahaullah. I am sorry, but that won't happen. I hope that is not what you're saying.

    What Do Trump and Republicans Mean by “Collusion”?

    The most you could argue for if I grant you this is that he's managed to get off Scot-free for every wrong thing he's ever done. I don't see how that is commendable, or makes him trustworthy. He's done a lot of criminal things his money buys him out off facing consequences for- or facing the...

    Do Christians think it is possible to reject their logic/arguments at face value?

    I don't think it seems so trivial from an orthodox Christian perspective, which I am not arguing for, but am familiar with enough. The orthodox Christian perspective paints the fall like something God absolutely did not want to happen. Yet given his claimed attributes, I don't think they...

    your opinion on the Avatamsaka Sutra??? plz help

    I accept that the bulk of it is a compilation of several distinct Sutras in origin, with commentary and some apocryphal material- as critical scholarship tends to say about it. That aside- it's a nice work. Very influential in many Mahayana circles. Other schools wouldn't likely dispute it's...

    What are your opinions on this article from Psychology Today?

    My thoughts is that it reminds me of the problems with the subjective approach favored in the modern about morals. That moral is whatever one feels it is.

    The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

    I remember those. My gramps hooked my Super Nintendo to one when I was a kid, so I could play Earthbound. I remember how bad the picture was, ha ha ha.

    Trump attacks Mueller on Twitter

    You know how serious whistle-blowing is, I'll assume? They may yet. What I'll ask you is: do you think our holding out as a possibility Trump could be guilty is somehow wrong? Trump supporters want all of us to share their confidence in his integrity, apparently.
