Re: wtf is wrong with american kids the law doesn't give them guns through. its also bad to let 12 year olds drive cars and give alcohol to 8 year olds. hense, you can't. in the u.s., you have to be 18 to get a gun in general, and 21 to get a handgun.

yes, but, from a christian viewpoint, doesn't this life matter not so much, as the real point is to get into heaven in the afterlife, in which case a finite years in jail is a rather moot point? second, there are most CERTAINLY christians commiting crimes, and yet you claim that there is no...

Re: wtf is wrong with american kids first, much of this can be done with computers. second, technicians take orders. by your logic, there could never have been any bombing run in the history of warfare because people would disagree.

the whole reason, though, that religion is discussed is because that is given as a reason as to why there is a god.

how does one bully underground?

personally, i'd differentiate between promoting a value that is associated with being religious and promoting religion itself

right, because no one who was religious has commited crimes. considering the ONLY thing you said thats neccessary is that you accept Jesus, that still means that you can do whatever you want.... then people will. especially if by accepting Jesus, all your sins are forgiven, then doesn't that let...

i always figured that was part of the point of some of the biblical stories if you don't have to do anything different, how does being Christian make someone a better person?

though, the issue isn't. "is bullying something one should expect", but "is it prevalent" just because someone coming onto the internet shouldn't assume they'll never deal with bullying and the like doesn't mean that there's something wrong with trying to prevent bullying within a particular...

freedom, beauty, truth, and love? firstly, clearly you DID need someone to give a dictionary definition, as you obviously made a statement that misused the term atheism. as for my beliefs, most of mine i've discussed elsewhere, on origin of the universe, i generally feel that the...

well, he did say she was given the impression he wasn't interested, so that seems to limit how 'together' they'd have seemed

what are you talking about? atheism isn't the lacking of beliefs, its just beleiving that there is no god. specifically no god. they can believe in whatever else they want. just look at the name 'atheism' and break it down a-theism 'a' means 'without' (such as asymetry) and 'theism' is 'belief...

the reason that evolution and creationism are being discussed is because they are integral to one of the prime claims made by those that say tehre's proof of a god. with explanations for those events that dont' require a god, that then means that there is still a need for proof of a god to make...

i would say yes.... i think that as far as gov't is concerned, it should be secular. If people use religion to guide their own lives in ways that don't effect others, thats up to them

Re: Does Australia have a culture? When and how did i miss that? Australia has a culture, just I think the key point thats been mentioned prior is that culture takes time to develop into something that seems truely unique. Europe, India, China, have all had the time for that. Newer...

i think i recall learning that oxygen was actually dangerous to early life general thing, why is it so "amazing" that there's oxygen in the atmosphere to breathe? there is no reason whatsoever that we'd not have oxygen present, and its fairly likely, i'd think, that you'd have oxygen in a...

Ellie, which charity do you donate money to atm for this? just since i don't know which charities are out there

i'd point out i'm a second cousin of god by marriage, but that might be lacking relevancy

who are you responding to, and more importantly, how could you possibly read any of those three messages as saying god exists directly?

it is relevant because you made the statement that no one has to prove anything, other people just have to disprove it, which is entirely backwards. the burden of proof rests on the person making a claim, not the person that is skeptical and asking for proof before believing something. i also...
