I heard an atheist say science is logic.

Logic is subjective from person to person. So if science (logic) was ever the sole basis of morality then would there not be disputes as to what is really right? Even on basic matters.

I'm sorry but as much as I love mankind I would not trust them alone to make a unanimous and righteous definition of morality without the aid of (even minimal) divine guidance. In fact, it would be impossible.

Am I right? Please, no smart a** answers to dodge my question. Would like some real answers.

Peace.

since it is widely regarded, (even by righteous people), as the most pleasant thing in life? For those who believe that God made us what we are, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that he would reward people by providing them with lots and lots of great sex?

I am bothered by the events before and after the Jena 6 incident. I am ashamed with both sides, white & black. Perhaps you may even say a 3rd side is responsible, the apathetic bystanders that do nothing.

Consider this:
1) Regardless of color, any group of people that 'gang up' on a single person to beat on him, are out to do serious damage. Damage that may be unrepaireable and even cost someone's life. Such violence is a serious weapon and a serious crime and should be handled as such.
2) ANY acts of hatred against another, whether due to race, color, or creed, should be addressed immediately and fairly. If it boils down to an issue of non-existant law, take the steps to put the law in place.
3) Equal rights organizations need to work together on issues like this. This is not just a 'Black' issue. True justice must be addressed equally across the nation. Change needs to occur in Jena.

Because the only thing that I received was a Sixth Revised Edition of Christ Among Us A Modern Presentation Of The Catholic Faith For Adults by Anthony Wilhelm and nothing else? Am I in trouble to start the course off? Also my Catechist said a couple of things which confused me and shocked me particularly that he believes that the fact that priests can't get married is heresy. Also he said that Catholicism is a religion of rational thought and that the God of Nature can't contradict the God Of Reason as they are both one and the same yet he said that the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke contradict themselves, and that he doesn't believe in the concept of a soul and that was invented by Greek Philosophers or something like that and that we as the body or something like that are the soul or at least that's what I thought I heard him say. Is he a heretic? What do I do?

def- Person extremely intolerant of others and irrespective of reasoning

if I, a reasonable and open minded/impressionable person can change, am I no longer a bigot if I see my intolerant self?

I find many religious folks who are pundits of doctrines or circular logic do no know what a bigot is...

By God, we will be justified

Will each and every one of you,

*Fully renounce Satan from your life?
*Accept Jesus into your heart as your Personal Savior and Redeemer?
*Accept that revelation from God has been restored to us?
*Place your left hand on my Mormon Bible and hold your right hand up and commit yourself to being saved and baptised in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost?

You ask this repeatedly of me, so I feel it's only appropriate that I should ask it of you.

It's in Vermont and used to be called White's Christmas Tree Farm, but the name needs to be changed. It can't have the name White in it anymore. It's a cut-your-own-tree kind of deal.
Suggestions please?

So Washington Mutual has these comercials running right now that show a group of all white bankers, and this this black guy who is supposed to be a washington mutual employee.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZnPvOn0jz8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93_-JjSvvR0

The group of about 30 white are pompous, arogant, corrupt, stupid, and very elitist.

If comercials were run that portrayed a group of 30 blacks as uneducated, vulgar, violent, and generally undesirable they would be pulled the first day. Not to mention the out cry from the media.

I think they are hugely insulting, and that this goes beyond a double standard. Using a negative steriotype to gain customers based on their hatred of white people.

Completely tasteless.

Washington Mutual has no class whatsoever.

Was anyone else bothered by this?

I for one are sick of seeing fundies pentecostals and evangelicals presume if you post a question critical of religious fanaticism that you're not a Christian posting and using their answers to post a long unnecesssary sermon on how to "accept the lord" which usually has nothing to do with the ACTUAL topic!

Do these people have poor levels of reading comprehension or what?

Why do they mistake ranting for spiritual inspiration?

and then there's the whole all pagans are evil demon worshippers nonsense!

Anyone care to add to the list?

Hi I was born in America but I am Norwegian. I learned Norwegian from my mother and am fluent in it, but obviously, learning from her, I don't know how to cuss at anyone in Norwegian. If you know any Norwegian insults or swears can you please tell me and also give me the meaning(I know there are many words or phrases that have no American equivalents but please try)

God's teachings with the Aide of the Holy Spirit?

I was Raised as a Jehovah's Witness where I was comanded to follow Watchtower theology completely and without questioning...

Now, I have some issues that I am not completely sure of, and I can go, by my self into God's word, and read and understand what God wants me to know. I do not have to believe what has not been absolutely proven to me by
God's word..

There are things that I am not 100% sure of, and it is OK!
