Good advice. Allow god to do the same.
Shall we let god define himself?

Then you are a Religionist fool.
Secularism means that society will move to where almost all things with little or no victim as legal.
A form of slavery for all. Legal prostitution, gambling brawling, dog fights and **** fights. Are you ready to live in Rome of 100 AD.
Rather an ugly picture no.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
On the contrary.
Starting with that attitude leaves for unlimited discovery.
If you're looking for a definitive.. well... definition, then once you have one, you're going to stop looking, thinking you've found it.
Defeated - only if I was going against something.
Loser - again.. only if I was competing with something.

God is following His bliss and is quite happy at it.
and
Hell no.
The elect give the powers. God is a puppet that rules at the pleasure of the people.

That doesn't answer my question.
Decrease the surplus population, prevent the birth of or kill off someone who would be "worse than hitler", maybe advertently or inadvertantly prevent a plague from spreading by killing off the only people who had the disease. I'm not advocating genocide and believe me I hate it as much as the next guy, I don't think it should be done. Nut nothing is absolute, everything has positive and negative consequences. most of the time one outweighs the other and while with something as drastic as genocide you can easily see how heavily its weighed on the negative side there are many concepts where it's not so heavily weighted to one side or the other. That's we we have the idea of weighing the pros and cons before making a decision.
really, I can't wait to hear this
Secularism is about seperating church and state, not abolishing the church. Even so morality isn't dependant on religion. Aside from that, if something doesn't hurt anyone how can it be bad?
I fail to see how allowing people more freedom can make them slaves.
Except those things hurt, they have victims. So your contradicting yourself. First you say secularism will legalize anything that doesn't have a victim then as examples of this you state things that clearly have victims. Do you see the contradiction.
yup, luckily it's not going to happen
:biglaugh:
So just because I disagree with you it must mean that I'm off my rocker and need to "get real", right
Gods forbid we simply agree to disagree and accept that people will have different opinions.

your god is pinnochio?
This puppet god might be smart enough to rule at the pleasure of the people, but another god who want people to rule themselves with integrity and courage will ultimately usurp him.
Those who rule themselves well, have no need to rule over others.
Less competition, which means better chances of survival.
That was easy.
(keep in mind, I don't condone genocide in anyway shape or form)

Yes. Following your own bliss and instincts will get all of us where we want to go.
These are God given and are perfect.

Some thing like 60 % of hookers were abused in the home and basically forced into prostitution.
Many gamblers and drunks do their own thing but their families go hungry.
Are there any victims in victimless crimes. You bet.
No one lives in a vacuum.

You do by finding a good to it.
Hitler would agree that less competition is good. The Jews would disagree.
God's genocide gave 8 a better chance to survive, the millions dead were surviving quite well without it. After it they survived not at all.

Sure no one lives in a vacuum. But if something is victimless then it by definition has no victims. Just what point are you trying to make here
And are you going to actually respond to anything I said in my posts?

Other than a miracle, what would convince you that there is one.
Does the God you seek have to perform miracle and what other attributes does He need.
