Can I ask why it seems unlikely or ridiculous? To me, the suggestion that God disgraced His Son (or Himself, since Jesus is apparently the Son of God and God at the same time) at the hands of his disobedient creation in order to forgive their sins, seems much more unlikely. Why? Because...

accting midsemester eh...just some advice: maintain a good speed throughout the test. The biggest prob with students last yr was not being bale to finish..so dont take it easy. Try to spend the minimum amount of time required to adequately answer any question. also, watch the makrs for each...

Just shows thier ignorance.

Perhaps, but it depends on what type of a disagreement it is. If its a rational problem, then one can see a need to perhaps rethink, but if (as in the example you gave) its an issue coz your faith doesnt allow you do something you feel like doing then i think the problems with you, your letting...

But wont individual interpreataitons that are not based on anything (text or otherwsie) preclude any notion of an absolute reality. I mean if everyone decided to do thier own interpreting of 'faith' we wouldnt get two ppl in any one faith. It seems a very frivolous outlook on life. Lacking any...

Thats probably either becuase their not serious about life/faith, or then they realise some irrational (perhaps unacceptable, to them) aspects of thier faith but arent willing to give up something theyve held for so long. (I mean most ppl inherit their faith form thier parents. Unfortunate, but...

Correct. They ddint go to intentionally kill civilians, for of what benfeit is that (to anyone). But the point I tired to make was that knowing that the civilanis would bear the grnt of the punishment and that it would hardly affect Saddam himself or his regime, the UN/NATO shoudl not have gone...

You like playing with words, huh? Lets forget bin Ladin's denial. Well assume he didnt deny it. That doesnt change my point. We also now that he hasnt come out direclty and accepted responsibility as in "I did it" or "We, Al-Qaeda, did it". My original question, which you still havent...

Your missing the point. If Fred had in fact eaten the lolly, he wouldnt on one hand intentionally leaves his traces on the scene and on the other deny (or, since you think there's not much diff, not accept) responsibility. Why? Beacuse leaving his 'marks' implyies he wanted everyone to know it...

Not denying and accepting responsibility are two different things. you were trying to imply that Al-Qeada left the Arabic texts and flying manuals etc so everyone would know it was them. My question is: why go to such trouble when you can come out as simply say 'We did it". I think your the one...

By 'assuming it was Bin laden' i was referring to the offical version of events. That doesnt mean Bin laden could not have still been involved. Rigghttt. Cant they just leave a paper saying "We, Al-Qaeda, are responsible"..?? And if they want to make it obvious that it was them, we did Bin...

No, I dont doubt that. I doubt the US admins version of events but that doesnt mean that Bin Laden is free of all blame nor that he took no part. Who breems publically? How hard do you think it is to fabricate (with the state of the art technology we have nowadays watch Wag the Dog and...

What he should of done after 9/11? I think analysing 9/11 itself comes first. Or are we assuming that what the media and the US admin told us with regards 9/11 is the truth? Though I cant fully explain who was responsible, why they did it and so on, I do hold that the story the mainstream...

Anti-war supporter? Umm..not in any official way..Ive no official (or unofficial) links with the anti-war movement. I am nevertheless anti- the so called 'war on terror' (on a personal level)
