(I also note Riqtay, you have failed to deal with my counter-arguments here and here, which address a lot of what you have been saying.)

Yes, in a democratic society the elected representatives of the people make the laws, indirectly supported by the people. 1. That assumes that God actually exists. 2. Of course there are inconsistencies, but that is because people have different priorities. That is why we have debate and...

Keep discussion of whether God exists to it's relevant thread please.

Incorrect. There exists natural phenomenon of homosexuality in the animal world. You have ignored my response to that point and have misquoted the argument. That is not the argument. The contention is that there is no reason to ban gay marriage, therefore it should not be banned. This premise...

(What I say may overlap with PwarYuex, but there is no harm in illogical and harmful contentions being quashed by more than one mind.) That is not the argument. The argument is that there is no reason for banning gay marriages. The question that you must answer is this: why should gay...

Just so you are aware, my argument against what you said was much more extensive. I still await a response to what I said here. Assuming there is an afterlife, which is highly dubious. There is no evidence to support such a contention whatsoever. Pleasure for human beings is not dangerous, if we...

Incorrect. There is a thing called pleasure. You can get a lot of it by living. That is not vain. In my opinion, this is the main problem with religion, it destroys human potential by taking energy, time and pleasure from this life and putting the emphasis on the next (non-existent) life. It...

There is nothing wrong with gay people. There is nothing wrong with gay marriage. Most arguments to the contrary are illogical and I do not see much point in this discussion.

I'm just saying, it doesn't prove that there is no God at all But it seems you weren't trying to argue that anyway.

Ah yes, akin to Broggers.

According to your beliefs. According to mine you'll be food for worms.

That is an argument against one conception of God, albeit one held by most religions.

I voted Liberal last election. But I didn't give them a Senate vote.

True, but frequent curtailing of parliamentary debate on extremely significant and controversial legislation does.

Heh, I caught that the other night. Kerry really nailed him that whole interview, made Hill look like a fool. There was no escape from the hard questions and he could only come up with paltry excuses. In particular, one response was "that's a hypothetical situation" -- I've heard that one...

lol I remember that, he was like a giddy school boy "Alrite alrite (laugh) settle down (laughs some more) Iyyaaa... (laughs)... Iyyaa just want to say... (laugh)..."

No word on Fielding's booty.

lol. I know he appears otherwise characterless but it really doesn't look good for Costello to be stupidly laughing everything off all the time. I mean it's okay to smile but the way he does it... constantly laughing... makes him look like a drunken madman.

That is unrelated to prophecies and therefore does not refute the counter-argument. Instead, you make the different argument that scientific accuracy proves the accuracy of the Quran. Again, talkorigins.org comes in handy to quickly demolish such nonsense:

Only if the original was pure, which is the whole issue at hand. It doesn't matter if it was unaltered for 1,000,000 years if it is not true. I agree with you, though there is clearly a problem that isn't going away anytime soon. Islam may be a peaceful religion but it has spawned a particularly...
