Well, yes, God makes up the rules on an arbitary whim. (sort of the same as axioms in maths) However it has to be said that most christians I have met would say that the rules are of benefit to humanity.. i.e you will be happier if you follow them. In the Bible it says that God "loves" the world...
hmm...
My family is christian so i'll try to answer these.
Yes. Its written in the bible. Its more acceptable for some people because many poeple believe that murder is wrong - not because its a social nusiance - but because it actually is "WRONG".
Erm not entirely sure what you mean by...
Alright, I agree. My post was provocative and smplistic however I often find such a stance helps promote these discussions. What I meant to illustrate was that if we really are just advanced animals then there is no basis for the concepts of right and wrong - absolute morality as it's called...
Hmm... Well surely the whole concept of God was proposed to answer the question of why we exist. I don't see that there is another viable stance you can take to answer the question. The question of why is unanswerable at the moment thus the proposition of god to answer it.
p.s I'm not saying...
Hmm... I seem to remember from a course on the standard model of particle physics that this is indeed possible - however its much more unlikley than the case of just one particle pair being formed. I think (and can only hope that someone wise will read this and correct it) that when you try to...
Where, who are these millions? Throughout history people have used the concept of God to explain why. There is evidence of this in the most primative of cultures. I will accept that there are milions who have died without having enough time to think about "why?" and reach this conculsion. I will...
Heres a general formula for these type of questions.
First resolve the components of the velocity vertically and horizontally.
You know (assuming no air resistance) that the horizontal component of the ball is not subject to any force so it will remain constant. You know the horizontal...
Mate stop thinking go get a girlfriend, make babies, atch them grow up, look after their babies a bit... then you will have loads of time when your old and dying to think about this question. You will finally work out that there is no answer to "why" unless god exists. There will be a priest...
Mate.. take a moment to think. Without the concept of God there is no such thing as good and evil. For example this statement...
If you believe that we evolved from apes and that there is no God then there is no reason for making life easier for others - we are animals. We are supposed to...
I'll save this forum by being filled with yes/no posts.
The answer to your question is that...
1) There are quite a few muslims who agree with you
2) No one else agrees with you.
I suggest you go to a muslim forum. The people on such a forum might think you are clever at the very...
Guys I have just finished a maths degree and I still can't add up properly in my head. I can however, tell you how to build a calculator. Maths has very little to do with being able to add up quickly.
Erm.. Dude your logic is sadly lacking. Even if homosexuality is entirely caused by enviromental effects it could be that these effects cause the brain to change as it develops and so the effects are not reversible once the brain has reached maturity.
The problem with this is that its a...
