What kind of a debate would that be anyway? Would not the Earth is round person say let's go to the edge of the shore and watch the ships as they sail, and look how as they go out farther they dip? and go out of sight but come back?

What possible debate would there be?

What possible piece of evidence does the person who believe in a flat Earth have? What response of intelligence would be given to defend the world view the Earth is flat?

Does the person who believe the Earth is round have any obligation to debate someone who believes the Earth to be flat?

A few weeks ago at college, the guy who teaches me philosophy told the class that he has published some works describing his point of view on society. One of them is that marihuana has no reason to be illegal. Should marihuana be legalized?

Can you live in peace?

Look, at your history before your faith was politicized by religious leaders interested in their own power. Be honest, hate is what gives them purpose and a livelihood. So how long will you allow yourself to be manipulated?

What is wrong with a multi-cultural society where people are accepting of others? Are you saying that your faith will not allow that, or your leaders will not allow that? Can you accept the free expression of religion in your society?

What do you need to do create peace and moderation in your society?

I'm sure the West would be happy to not interfere, if you could do that. The dialogue must change, so Americans and other countries do not have to fear of more terror coming from your countries.

If someone who believes the sun and planets go around the Earth wanted to debate you, would you debate them? Why?

Wouldn't this be an exercise in heres the telescope look through it record some observations for a few weeks time?

Hasn't the cosmology that the Earth is in orbit around the sun been proven? Why would anyone feel the need to defend such a notion in a debate, isn't this more something we learn in science class?

Does it seem like everywhere you go there's people that just talk about the dumbest things, things that you don't give a crap about. Do you ever look at someone & think " why are you telling me this, I hardly know you, & I just don't care.

I'm just some guy. Most people don't know who I am. There are some who are my friends.

Why would I want to debate anyone on topics of religion and science, with some stranger from yahoo answers?

Why can't I just go home and have instant messenger with my friends, or play trains with my son when he is awake and not watching a cartoon?

Why do people feel the need to debate the yahoo answers religion and spirituality icons?


If you like reading jim darwin's questions cause they are funny and entertaining and make you think, answer them.

If you don't like them, don't answer them.

But just cause you don't like me or my world view, doesn't mean I have an obligation to "debate" you. They sell lives on ebay go get one.

KNOWLEDGE is like a PUZZLE. The more knowledge we gain. The more pieces of the puzzle we put together. And the easier it
is to find the MISSING pieces.

I am so tired of TV. I have about 150 channels and nothing seems to amuse me. Granted, I will watch a sporting event once in a while, or the Discovery Channel, but other than that there is nothing on that is mind stimulating- rather mind numbing. The objective of most television programming and commercials is to dumb people down, brainwash and mislead the public with fear and insecurity, and promote consumerism. There are just so many better and more productive things to do in life than sit in front of a TV in a zombie like trance and be fed a bunch of BS. TV is incredibly powerful and most definitely exerts an influence on the publics’ belief systems and behavior. The scary thing is people are buying into everything they see on TV and this is overshadowing a person’s ability to think critically.

If you church leaders say you cannot do anything without their persmission (not even if God says otherwise). You can't make any move without consulting them first. Does it then make church a prison? What if they make rules for you that your supposed to follow that are not anywhere in the word, but use the word to install fear in the people? Why is it when a church leader has issues it's their nakedness & you should accept them, but when it comes to the "no name no title Christian" they are going to hell when they do something wrong? Why is it a person is out of the will of God (even though God told them to leave) when they leave a church? A true "leader" should be proud that a christian learns to get God for themselves? So why aren't they?

Hi,

i'm a Traveller (Romany Gypsy) living in the UK.

Before jumping to answer this question and including all the bad experiences you have had with members of my community, please hear me out.

I went through school from recption to year 11, passed all my GCSE's and hardly had a day off, despite being bullied most of the time.

I now have a good job in an office as an administrator and have recently got married to a hard working traveller, who has a legitimate business. We both pay taxes and neither of us have ever touched anything that doesnt belong to us. Everything we have, we have worked very hard to get. My parents are the same, very hard working and decent people. People who know us, no matter what culture, colour, religion etc. they are, only have nice things to say about us.

Maybe people have had bad experiences with some Travellers but does this mean that they can tar us all with the same brush?
