    Can a person choose to believe?

    You certainly assert your opinion on the question as if it were a matter of fact. How can you be sure that laziness is this case isn't also a matter of fact? Please explain how a sink load of dirty dishes dispels the possibility of inherent laziness? Doesn't it seem like opting to leave a...

    The Root of ALL Evil

    Oh. What a relief. For a minute there, you'd made it sound as if you were ideologically opposed to double standards. If life starts at conception, does it follow that a woman's right to liberty starts sometime after conception and is temporarily nullified when she gets pregnant? If these...

    Should ex-Muslims be killed for renouncing their religion?

    "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing." ~ Qur-ān 2:256 . . . I've...

    Muhammad a pedophile? how?

    So what we should take away from all of this is that pedophilia is a states' rights issue?

    Why do we die?

    I dunno. But I hear it has something to do with two ignorant, naked people eating a magical fruit after being deceived by a talking snake.

    Presbyterians Give Approval to Same Sex Marriage

    ... "And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him." ~ Mark 12:17 Yes. Indeed. Down through the ages, the Catholic Church has demonstrated its complete distaste for material...

    Can a person choose to believe?

    Opinions are always inferior to the facts. By all credible accounts, Elvis Presley died in 1977. Those who opine otherwise are politely dismissed as cranks, if not ridiculed outright. You are (of course) free to opine that Elvis isn't dead ... but that's your business and the evidence...

    Can a person choose to believe?

    I hope we can agree that disbelief and denial are two different things. Yes? The former is a response to a lack of evidence ... while the latter is a response despite a preponderance of evidence. Or was it the case that the evidence was eventually revealed to be bogus or nonexistent...

    Presbyterians Give Approval to Same Sex Marriage

    A tithe is a tithe is a tithe. And religion is undoubtedly a business. If it's true that church attendance is declining at an unprecedented pace, it only makes sound business sense to not automatically exclude and alienate a percentage of prospective customers attendees. But you know how...

    The Root of ALL Evil

    Is that a true statement?

    Can a person choose to believe?

    Given the glaring lack of evidence, I'm not sure what else to call it.

    Can a person choose to believe?

    Hopefully, zero. Hopefully. So you're claiming that one could choose to not believe that 1+1=2, correct? Or that one can choose to not believe that Sheboygan is a city in Wisconsin? Could you please explain how that works? And can you also explain how this sort of "choice" is to be...

    The Root of ALL Evil

    So you're morally opposed to our legal system's existing double standard when it comes to judging children as minors instead of automatically lumping them in with adults, correct? If a toddler discharges a firearm and kills a person, you'd automatically argue (in an effort to combat "evil...

    When Did Our Spirit Enter The Enbryo Or Fetus Thus Creating A Living SouL

    Could you first provide evidence that there is any such thing as "a living soul" or "the spirit?"

    Can a person choose to believe?

    Don't get me wrong. It's readily apparent that there are lots of people who're perfectly willing to (in lieu of evidence) pretend that the existence of God is a factual issue. Isn't this typically called "faith?"

    Can a person choose to believe?

    Really? Because that certainly isn't what you said: When you said "any action," it appeared that you were referring to "any action." Thanks for providing the much-needed clarification. So if one believes in God because of the threat of eternal damnation, it follows that one's belief in God...

    Can a person choose to believe?

    1.) I am not pretending that the existence of God is a factual issue. 2.) The OP was not asking if the existence of God was a factual issue. She was asking if belief was a matter of choice or not … as if belief were akin to selecting a flavor of ice cream. Go back and read it again. She asked...

    Loving God = Eternal Torture?

    Is God 100% just? The Crucifixion was an act of tribute? One fictional item at a time please.
