    Opinions about Saudi people.

    I don't expect everyone to be a hero. But change only comes about if people ask for it, and honestly, not many people in Saudi Arabia are asking for it. And I can't respect that.

    Opinions about Saudi people.

    I guess I think that people who don't fight against injustice are not people I respect. But I prefer not to generalize, Since the people are not all bad and not all good, as with any country.

    Does hell exist?

    I don't think you're going to meet many people that actually believe we'll have physical bodies, either new or old, in hell. We're spiritual beings, that's what most Christians believe. Spiritual beings chilling in some meat suits.

    Is it ethical to purchase from a witch?

    I'm not sure it's really a moral dilemma. And I think you already know God wouldn't exactly approve, otherwise you wouldn't have felt the need to ask. But He's not going to condemn you for it either. And I hope you know that more likely than not, that woman is selling you water from her kitchen...

    I Can Only Conclude That God Doesn't Care

    I don't think it means He doesn't care, I just think it means He did His best according to the limits He set Himself (ie - Free will). And most of the things that are fallible in the bible are rather inconseqential. Grace or works, Evil or woe, either way you're expected to love God and your...

    Born again virgin?

    Sounds like a silly way to try and call take-backs. But I don't believe it works that way. You sin, you ask for forgiveness and you move forward. You don't try to pretend you never sinned in the first place. That's my two cents, anyway.

    Christians: Does this insult you?

    No I don't find it offensive, But I can see how others might. Either way, It's not exactly a compliment to Christian ideals.

    Lot, One of the Bible's bad Guys

    I never said the attraction was a choice, just that the act was.

    Lot, One of the Bible's bad Guys

    Oh I am totally and perfectly fine calling homosexual acts sins. Just as adultery is sin and pre-martial sex is sin. But since 80% of us are guilty of one of those three, I don't think focusing on homosexuality or singling it out has much of a point. I don't accept homosexuality as right, Only...

    Lot, One of the Bible's bad Guys

    The only reason you think sentience makes you special is because your sentience makes you. It's kind of amusing if you think about it. And I think you're taking something that isn't literal and making it literal, which is obnoxious. But so is your attitude so I won't hold it against you. Well...

    One of my Moments.

    Maybe you should avoid discussing the topic with your coworker then? I mean, if you want people to respect you then you have to respect that they're not going to agree with you on everything. That's just the way of the world. Like today whilst I was helping out in the cafe one of my co-helpers...

    Mmhmm.... And yet you tell me I'm the one who is adept at avoidance. I think someone needs to look in the mirror.

    Lot, One of the Bible's bad Guys

    If I judged your character based solely on the worst thing you've ever done, would you think I'd get an accurate understanding of you? No. So why do you feel justified in doing it to Lot? And just an observation, nothing untoward behind it, but I think you may have gotten overly personal there.

    You know if you weren't so high up on that horse we might actually be able to have a constructive and benefical discussion. But whatever.

    Why is that? I'd think a being with amorality would be a better judge than a moral one. Who knows what morality it would subscribe to, The Western standard perhaps? Eastern? Medieval? Modern? There are faults to all of them.

    Lot, One of the Bible's bad Guys

    I think my idea of God is not that He is immoral, rather He is amoral. Yet you think that the standards He gives us should be applied to Him. At the same time you don't think the same standards for us should be applied to children or animals. Can you really not see it?

    Lot, One of the Bible's bad Guys

    I don't know you. I know humans though, and you're a human and that's what I based it off. Humans hurt other humans, simple as that. And if you had of actually read what I said you wouldn't be saying what you're saying, because I already addressed it. But you didn't, you just barrelled through...

    Lot, One of the Bible's bad Guys

    I'm sorry, what is it specifically about male physiology that I'm not getting? Because he didn't give consent, he was coerced into drinking and then in his intoxicated state his daughters forced themselves upon him. That is rape. You didn't quote to me Genesis you quoted to me Peter, which is...

    It has a subjective basis, not an objective one. You feel sentience is worth more because of your sentience, But what value does that have?

    That's an assumption.... An opinion. A belief.
