    Should a woman's bodily autonomy be disregarded when it comes to pregnancy?

    No, I know what objectivity means. The idea that only 1 flavor of man-made theology defines God's "universal truth", isn't it. Of course objectivity means the truth of something, is independent of our opinion. That's the point.....religion IS opinion. Thanks, rock on yourself.

    Should a woman's bodily autonomy be disregarded when it comes to pregnancy?

    Hi Robin. Yeah, fairly new here, and don't hang around consistently enough to be familiar. How can the biblical God be uber-objective, when this version of God isn't uber-accessible and uber-available? What if God placed you by birth in Saudi Arabia, would you still believe the biblical God...

    Should a woman's bodily autonomy be disregarded when it comes to pregnancy?

    But, the version of God you prefer, the christian one, isn't objective at all. Many humans that God has created don't even have a concept of the existence of Christianity. That being the case, how on earth could it be "universal objective truth", when it isn't universally available? The...

    Your saved as soon as you accept jesus.

    If you say so. I use the mind God gave me to try to think and behave as rationally as possible. Give it a shot sometime.

    Your saved as soon as you accept jesus.

    Not surprised you quote scripture, typical. Biblical scripture is 100% irrelevant, to a human being with no knowledge that the scripture exists in the first place. Is the holy book of a religion you're not acquainted with relevant to you in any way? The bible isn't "God's truth", it's the...

    Your saved as soon as you accept jesus.

    Who's "we"? What if you've never heard of Jesus? What if you're a human creation of God, yet God placed you by birth in a corner of the world where Christianity doesn't exist and isn't practiced? How does someone with no concept of the existence of Jesus come to God?

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    Yep, the exact same thing said by adherents to other religions. You're hilarious.

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    LOL. I'm shocked.....their beliefs aren't correct, but yours are. But of course. You said it yourself, it's somehow evidence of the truthfulness of christianity, that its adherents are willing to die for the cause. But when adherents of other faiths are willing to die for their...

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    A few years back, a group of human beings flew airplanes into buildings because of the fervency of their beliefs, giving their lives in the process. I guess their beliefs were correct?

    God simply doesn't care

    But wait........other humans say that "the truth" is contained in the bible! Who's really correct, you or them?

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    And yet, God has created millions who've gone their entire lives never even having a concept of the existence of christianity. Seems they didn't have a choice, unless you believe it's possible to choose something you're not aware exists? And, not that you care, I'm not an athiest. Holy...

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    Ah, so you're special. Special in God's eyes, relative to other humans in this world who God created, but deposited into regions where christianity doesn't exist? Interesting that followers of other religions say the same thing, that they are "privileged and blessed" with greater knowledge...

    Are any of them "omnipotent"

    An omnipotent God could certainly author his/her own word. No need to enlist the help of your human creations, when you're omnipotent. You'd also likely be powerful enough to distribute your word equally among your human creations, if you really desire and demand they follow it.

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    Until a better explanation for how God chose the books which were to be included in the Holy Bible is revealed ------------------------- Except, humans chose the books that were included in the bible! Humans also wrote the books included in the bible. What makes you think God had anything to...

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    Not sure how you could ever hope to "know" this for certain. I always find declarative, conlusive statements curious.

    What do You do to commune with God?

    Interesting question, and great responses. For me, similar to what some others have said, I find myself feeling closest to God when I'm immersed in, and taking note of, the sublime beauties of the natural world. I'm an outdoorsy person, love pretty much any activity outside. Some of my...

    Do innocent children go to Heaven or Hell?

    Interesting question. Not meaning to hijack the thread, but this is along the lines of something I've thought about a lot: what happens to anyone who has never had a chance to even learn about Christ or the Bible, much less accept it all as true? Different cultures, with different religious...

    When Christ says only though him one can reach Heaven, what does that mean precisely?

    Hi Jethro, I've stated this before out here, I'm not meaning to be a broken record so if you've read it, I apologize. It's just that this idea represents a logical problem for me, the notion that only those who believe in the teachings of Jesus will "end up in Heaven", and those who don't will...

    For Christians only: Do you believe Jews can go to heaven w/o accepting Christ?

    That's what I'm saying, we're all different and as a result there will definitely be differences in how we see "God", across sub-groupings of human beings. God isn't different, but since we are we can't help but have different ideas about what God "is". Face it, if you happened to be born in...

    For Christians only: Do you believe Jews can go to heaven w/o accepting Christ?

    I like the answer, sounds to me like what you're saying is that if a person has a general feeling of a belief in God, that this is what is required for salvation? If so, then as long as one believes in God, they're on the right path. But, for someone who's never heard of Jesus, or the Bible...
