*Silently gets close to Dusty and hugs him from behind* Sodomy is illegal in many states.

It's not just atheists who go to hell, but also people who believe in other gods. It's irrelevant to my point, but yeah, you are correct from a Christian standpoint. It is relevant to your point. It is not just atheists but also people of other religions who feel it would be unfair to go to a Christian hell. What? We both think that we're right. What you seem to be doing is grouping all religions as "religions". That's like grouping religions and atheism as "worldviews" and expecting atheism to have an organized following. I guess we are stepping over each other on the issue if you mean that we're both trying to say that we're right. The whole thing between Islam and Christian's heaven/hell is very, very different. Christians can ONLY get to heaven through accepting Jesus as LORD and SAVIOR, which means that they accept what he says and follow him. From what I understand of Islam, it's how much good vs how much bad you have that lets you into heaven or not. If you do more good than bad, you're in. If you do more bad than good, you're out. See the difference? The Islamic judgment of good vs. bad only applies to people who are already Muslims. Christians and people of other faiths (or no faiths) automatically go to hell. This directly parallels and contradicts Christianity. It's not different at all. No matter how gently you phrase it by adding in the concept of jesus, your belief remains the same: you think that the majority of the world's population will go to hell because they are not christians.

double post.

It's not just atheists who go to hell, but also people who believe in other gods.

I'm pretty sure we're in the present.

I will only hug pretty girls like Lionheart.

or Allah. That seemed like a slight against Christianity. I won't comment further as I don't know what you mean by this. You say that I should accept Jesus or burn in hell, but a muslim dude would say that I should accept allah or burn in hell. Aren't you guys stepping all over each other on this issue? Maybe one of you should change the rules on this and let the other one have the "burn in hell" concept.

or Allah.

But no matter how you phrase it, you still believe that my family and I will burn in eternal hellfire, right?

She doesn't look very pretty.

lol ok.

Terrorist!

So you don't believe in that second part? I wasn't saying that I don't believe in them; I was stating that those are not THE focus of Christianity. For example, I would not encourage somebody with a megaphone shouting at people that they're going to hell or that they're immoral. Why wouldn't you encourage them? Since it's true that non-believers go to hell, shouldn't they be warned as loudly as possible so that they will change their heathen ways?

So you don't believe in that second part?

HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT COME AND LET US SHOW YOU WHAT WE'VE GOT Seriously though it's pretty awesome that your mascot is an angry lumberjack.

There are no absolute truths. We use experimentation and observation to form facts that group together into theories that are more accurate than their predecessors. Being able to tell if something is "more accurate" requires an objective measure. Saying 5 is closer to 2+2 than 6 can be measured as "more accurate" because there is an objective answer to which we are comparing it (4). If there are no objective truths, then there is nothing to measure against, making it impossible to call something "more accurate" than something else. Oops, it seems I blended your posts with Korskin's. I thought you were referring to absolute truths regarding evolution instead of just the general existence of god. You are right. There are no absolute truths or measurements of accuracy when it comes to proving or disproving the existence of god. What makes science objective? To put it simply, science, which measures natural systems, does not impose itself on the realm of the supernatural. Some religions, however, which are only supposed to deal with the supernatural, attempt to impose themselves on natural systems. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-speciation.html Go to Part 5: Observed Instances of Speciation

Thanks! =D> Your reply rules! =D>

Have you tried using the box as a raft to escape from your lack of self-control towards buying crappy games?

Ooops! :uhh: Somebody forgot to read more carefully! ;) Squircle is a shape, not a color! :shame: "What is your favorite shape" would make a great topic in the future though! :thumbsup:

That is exactly like what happens at my school! All the guys try to bully the little kids and all the girls try to stop them. I hope you can counter their testosterone with your gentleness, Lionheart!

What is your favorite color? Mine is magenta because it is warm without being too aggressive. Here is a color chart to help you decide. Remember, certain colors are non-dithering!: Here are my thoughts on some other colors: Green - A very peaceful, nature-like color. Trees probably like this color because they wear it all the time. Red - The color of blood! This color represents war and violence. If you like this color then you are probably a terrorist. Purple - Grape drink is often this color, but sometimes you can't tell because the cartons are not transparent. Some people like to call this color fuchsia, but they're probably terrorists if they use big words like that. Blue - The color of sadness. If you like this color then you can trick people by saying "I'm so blue!" They will think that you are sad, but what you really mean is that you like the color blue. It's a great trick to play on your friends or, even better, on terrorists because they won't see it coming! Black - Beware! This color is spooooky! Dracula likes this color and so do many other creepy creatures like Frankenstein. Stay away, terrorists! Brown - This was the color of the smudges that my ex left on my couch.

Lionheart you are the most creative girl I have ever met

Damn you, terrorist!

Yet another person who never learned what the word Theory means.
