Christians claim that God is perfect. But, I have my personal reasons for thinking He's imperfect. I'll just share 3 reasons for now. My 1st reason is in regards to the 2 popular, Christian views of punishment, which are Annihilationism (the idea that God erases unsaved sinners from existence)...
This OP is about the choice of those that represent a Faith. Starting at the leader, on to the priests, and down to all those that have a appointed responsibility of guiding the followers. No matter what faith, no matter what these leaders are called. It is aimed at addressing those that have...
I'm not going to make this thread a full analysis of what love is, at least in this original post, but I wanted to demonstrate something that I've seen in Yahweh's Law and reflect on what one aspect of love is. In Chr-stianity, love is preached quite a lot, but they refuse to back it up with the...
This OP is to finalise once and for all what is Evidence of God. After this OP there will be no need for anyone to demand evidence, as it will have been provided.
This OP is applicable to all Faiths Moses and Torah, Jesus New Testament, Muhammad Koran, etc), but I will use what has been offered...
Update today from what I was believing last night. I am starting a new thread on this frankly so this new turn will have more visibilty.
In addition to what O'Donnell is commenting here on, this development also today:
The Washington Post: FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence for...
Any argument a person of faith chooses to dissprove a True Messenger of God, is just as valid against their chosen Messenger.
So is it not then logical that we could then prove the Messengers by comparing the Attibutes?
Then in that process, those that are false, will start to become obvious...
This is an amazing story of courage in the face of shocking abuse. It is ground breaking investigation and understanding into multiple personalities.
And the conclusion.
I hope you can watch them.
What amazing courage. Regards Tony
This is a topic that many see as challenging.
Yet I now see it is an intrinsic part of all God given Religions. It is about Justice for the actions we take as individuals and collectively as Nations.
It seems to be about cause and effect, or neglect of the Cause becomes the calamities we face...
One can hate the act or war.
One can hate the act of tyranny.
That hate guides people to not being warlike, to not be a tyrant.
Yet the hate does not extend beyond the actions, to the person/s, as all have the capacity to change, to not embrace war or tyranny as a way of life.
A virtue based...
How do you feel about Retribution Theory? Is it a valid form of justice?
This is specifically the idea that because someone has transgressed, they should suffer in turn.
One of the things that turned me away from my childhood Christianity was thinking about Retribution Theory and Hell (of...

Rape as in "Crime of assault" and what is proper justice
(I keep the broad meaning in mind ... the fewer the assaults the better the world)

Why are predudices so dangerous?
This topic is raised as it appears most of the conlict in the world and apparent in RF debates, comes about by predudices built on many aspects of life.
I see that is a sound and fair comment.
The base human rights one should use when posting on this topic is...
The idea of this thread is to raise the question of the utility of deferring punishment, or secretly punishing people for crimes or sins committed that any god is claimed as the source for said punishment.
A deferred punishment would refer to any time it was within a god's power to bring...
One of the reasons that atheists often give for not believing in God, is that a benevolent, loving Creator would not allow such suffering and depravity to run rampant in this world (child prostitution, human trafficking, rape, violence, genocide etc). Indeed, even theists struggle with this...
Humility is not a virtue;
it's a social ploy to facilitate solicitation.
Court scenario: 2 guys before a judge:
NotHumbleGuy: Judge, give me what I deserve, because that's your job.
HumbleGuy: Your honor, please give me better than I deserve, because I'm asking humbly.
In an unjust world...

Hello. This my first post. Please accept my prior apology if you found any misbehavior in my post.
I think everyone at least once has thought what if they would be someone else. I do not want to make a list of examples, but I believe even when we are satisfied of ourselves, we think about it...
