    Why does anyone care about watching sports?

    Have you ever been one of those who attempt to move that ball around the field? Maybe you`d better understand if you had. Using your rational no game, event, or activity is worth participating in. Why do people dance?All it consists of are bodies moving to rhythm across the floor. I...

    Okay, so I'm not a moderator, but...

    Because those forums exist to build community among people with the same beliefs. If you hold a different theology than the LDS (Christian or not) don`t post rebuttals or challenges to Mormon theology in the LDS section. Take it to the debate forums where I`m sure some LDS member or 5 would...

    At least it's better than getting your eight year-old breast enlargements

    I just 5 minutes ago got back from Burlington Coat Factory where I was browsing the girls section with my daughter. I found training bras that were not only heavily padded but sculpted of sturdy foam in the shape of full mature breasts (sans nipples thankfully). While I am by no means a...

    Does pornography have a legitimate place in society?

    But...most of the porn stars I`ve seen in action don`t know how to have sex. Seriously who has sex like in the standard porn scene? Porn is just as legitimate as any other form of expression.

    If married, do you always wear your wedding ring?

    I wear my ring pretty much everywhere as I`ve never had a problem with it getting caught on anything..even at the gym. My wife does hair and has often nearly lost it shampooing clients so now she takes it off while at work. I don`t have a problem with it. Don`t know why I would. As a...

    Diamonds a girls best friend? I think not!

    Can you cite a source to support this statement? :) I would state that wedding bands almost (if not..)always symbolize love/commitment.

    Search for Truth: Atheism

    Atheism claims no "truth". Atheism has no foundation from which to search for truth. Atheism has nothing to do with science and or reason. Please define "positive" and or "negative" disbelief. I think you have the wrong impression of atheism. It is really almost nothing.

    devil worshipping a sign of mental illness?

    I think I`ve got a handle on the definition of atheist. :) Nope, it just means you`re an atheist. However being an atheist doesn`t require than you must disrespect or disregard imagination or myth. The Biblical stories we`re basing this discussion on offer insights into the mind of...

    Indoctrination.... Wrong or right?

    I would call what you`re describing indoctrination as well. It doesn`t bother me much if someone chooses to believe what I see as false. What bothers me is what you describe above, teaching by indoctrination (in even one area if the area is important enough) has a very good chance of...

    devil worshipping a sign of mental illness?

    Why is imagination a negative thing? I`m missing something here. Certainly, but my interpretation can be supported with contextual evidence. Have you read the Bible? Satan behaved honorably in most cases. Much more honorably than Yahweh ever did.

    Indoctrination.... Wrong or right?

    Not at all, I was merely answering from my perspective. I`ve told my daughter my beliefs because I think it`s silly to try to hide or deny what I am in the hope that "She finds her own way". I`m her father she has a right to know "me". I teach her everything, there is no reason I should...

    Indoctrination.... Wrong or right?

    I understand but you were brought up in a very unique environment. My child is surrounded by god botherers and door to door god salesman pretty much constantly. I have to answer those questions. If your child should ask you what your beliefs are concerning gods should you simply refuse to...

    Indoctrination.... Wrong or right?

    I believe it`s right up there with influencing young children into believing that there is no Boogie Monster.

    Indoctrination.... Wrong or right?

    I believe it`s unavoidable. Children seek to emulate those they respect.

    devil worshipping a sign of mental illness?

    Why do you assume "The Devil" is a negative a priori? If we`re talking about the Abrahamic beliefs in Satan and God my world view would lead me towards Satan as his actions and words were far more ethical than Gods.

    Is Sarah Palin Finished?

    Oh I hope not. I can think of nothing better to fragment the hell out of the GOP than Palin running in '12. It`s a left wing nutjobs wet dream..really.

    Men Should Not Hit Women?

    I meet violence to my person, family, friends with greater violence..every time. I don`t care what the gender of the assailant is.

    LDS letter on same-sex marriage

    I`m sure the statement could be easily supported with evidence. Unlike the statement he was responding to.

    There is no atheism

    There is no "reason" for my existence other than what I myself determine. Answers are nice, correct answers are even better. :)
