Great intro. And welcome to the board.

:)

I haven't read the whole thread, but I agree with this.

Welcome to the board.

:)

It's hard for me to believe that anyone could really think that way.

Say what you want about Obama, but back in the '90s we had a POTUS who was caught in a sex scandal with a 20-something intern....

Absolutely false.



Ever heard of the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, and the early Christian martyrs? If you think 2011 is the worst time in human history, you have no clue what you are...

It only seems that way because our generation is the first to have the Internet. Do you really think that if you could go back in time to the Dark Ages that you would think it was a better place than...

I'm sorry, but the world just doesn't reflect that. It's a better place than it used to be.

What makes you think there is a God who loves people more than their parents do?

I just like to ask questions. :)



But if that's the truth, it's the truth. Warm and fuzzy or cold and...

I think cornflake explained it pretty well. 30 years ago there weren't message boards nor the Internet for you to hear about such things all the way. The world communicates much more efficiently now...

You're no fun!

:lol:

I don't think I personally would want to try to pull a catfish out of a hole, but I sure would like to watch someone else do it.


:)

Sorry about your friend, though.

That's a good question.

First of all, I think the evolutionary model is the best fit for the evidence we see in nature. From there, it's a little tricky because I have real issues reconciling...

While the situation you mentioned is horrible, do you really think the world is "sicker" today that it was in, say, the dark ages? People have always been crazy.

It is irrelevant to a lot of people, and trying to legislate religion leads to all kinds of problems. Maybe you could see that more clearly if Christians were the minority in this country and those...

But there's nothing inherently "wrong" with homosexuality outside of its conflicts with certain religious beliefs, and there are a lot of legal behaviors (that we've already mentioned) that go...

Of course it does.



There's a big difference between gender and species. And minors aren't legally allowed to do a lot of things (drink alcohol, gamble at casinos, etc.) that they may want to...

I have a question...

Do you believe that Man (through Adam) originally had a perfect relationship with God (much like how we might visualize Heaven, except on Earth) in that there was no pain, no...

I would say that humans have the capacity to give their consent. Animals do not.



And there are people who are just as certain that you need psychiatric help for the things you believe. You...

Did you not hear about the BP oil spill?



I wasn't really referring to that so much as I was explaining the direction of evolution. A lot of people like to hold up Man as the superior species...

Just don't get caught and it's alright. :)

You should try noodling instead. Pull, like, a 50 lb. catfish out of the river with your bare hands.

:)

And I am sure there are folks who think we will all be consigned to the flames as well. But none us can prove God's motives (or even His existence) at all. So I say we follow our own paths, allow...

I don't believe it's my place to impose my religion on others, Jeanne. Let them do what they want (as long as they're not intruding upon others) and I will do what I want. Any problems with God and...

I agree with this.

No, but the purpose of evolution is to survive and reproduce. Nothing more. Man has only been around an eye-blink of biological history and the technology you speak of has only come to exist quite...

In the secular society we live in, yes, they do. It's a sin to watch porn, but it's not illegal.



It wasn't long ago that people viewed blacks as an inferior race and they were denied many of...

I don't have a problem with gay marriage because I think people should have the right to do as they please. Whether it infringes upon our Christian beliefs is insignificant, just as I don't want...

I love to go camping.

:)

Awesome, Josh.

Welcome to the board, Vicky. Sorry to hear about your accident and greatly admire your service in public schools.

Haven't been on this site in forever, but I wanted to give a shout to all my fellow Christians and praise the Lord for His love and mercy!
