whenever a person ask them why they preach their own interpretation of the Bible, and why they call their personal interpretation as "God's words", they will answer, "The Bible is God's words and it's the truth".

they think they could worm their way out of the question by saying that, when what the person was actually questioning is their fallable comprehension of the Bible, and not the Bible itself; and that what they are preaching are merely their own fallable interpretation of the Bible, and it's definitely NOT God's words, unless of course, they are implying that they are God?

if so, that is idolatry and pride --- an abomination to God.

Are our senses trustworthy?

Anticipating certain a few negative answers, I'll try to give my defense of the trustworthiness of the senses (even if damaged):

Since all knowledge comes through the senses, if we deny their trustworthiness, we deny our ability to know anything with certainty. However, the man who admits we cannot know anything with certainty admits certain knowledge that certain knowledge is impossible. We cannot know both something and nothing at the same time, for the proposition fails when tested by itself. Further, the man who distrusts his senses does so because of perceived past failures of his senses, meaning he learned from his senses (seemingly) that they were untrustworthy, thus nullifying the potency of the initial cause of distrust.

This isn't so much looking for answers as a debate.
Some people say that it isnt just a coincidence that crime and atheism have both risen recently. Personally i think you can be just as good without a god, and think of all the bad things done in the name of religions - basically religious wars - like all this protestant v catholics stuff that happened in Ireland and that was between relatively similar religious groups
PS I;m not trying to be racist or anything so no stupid comments pls

Now, I know a lot of you know me on this site - and most of you should know that I tend to be one of the more respectful and "tolerant" atheists on this site. So, it came as quite a shock (ok, not really...) this morning to open my mail and find this:

"From: Greg T

Subject: You are lost and stupid

Message: You are lost and, judging by your posts, you are incredibly stupid. I am so much smarter than you are, that it's not even funny. Actually, it is funny.
Look, you are living in sin and you are blinded to the truth. Turn to Jesus, accept Him as your savior. You are currently on the road to Hell but Jesus can help you to pull off onto the exit before it's too late. I'll pray for you."

Now, whoever wrote this is not stupid - it is grammatically correct, broken into paragraphs, and all with correct spelling... So, how could someone who seemingly possesses some intelligence be so.... well, you know. Insulting others is against TOS, and I dont want to be accussed...

Hey, Guys. For this hollows eve, I want to be Barbie. Last year, my first year of college I was a trashy baseball player and although many told me I was hott. I didn't feel it.
This year, I want to be something more on the lines of me.

Problem is I've got long brown hair, with natural highlights of blonde and red. I don't want to dye my hair blonde, so I'm thinking a weave or a wig. Could anyone tell me which is better for your hair? And where I could go in NY to get one?

If you would also help a little with the alfit-Your thoughts would really be helpful- Seeing as because of my 7 brothers I never had a barbie and all I know is Barbie's favorite color is pink.
This should give you a frame of mind for me:
My figure measurments are 36,24,34.
I'm lightskinned, Hazel eyes- (I'm getting blue contacts)-
Rican, Black, Native American and Spanish.

I was trying to look at Victoria Beckham, because frankly she kinda has the same style as barbie.

Thanks for the help,
Krazy.

Creationists, you claim there is evidence that refutes evolution, do you know of any? Creationists, where is this proof? If you have sources, please state, and I perfer Wiki or Answers.com, since they are unbaised.

Atheists claim that there is no or very little evidence regarding Creationism, and mountains of evidence for evolution, please, site your sources as I asked for the Creationists, and please use Wiki or Answers.com, since they are unbaised.

Now, I want a good, clean fight...no attacks, no calling the other stupid. We're all adults (or older teens) so please, both sides act like your age. Now..LETS GET IT ON!!!! -ding ding-

The Jewish laws were clear--"an eye for an eye"-"give your enemy no peace",divorce your wife with a personal letter,stone adulterers to death,don't work on the Sabbath etc--Christ overturned these barbaric laws--and was accused of blasphemy for doing so--If Christ rejected these laws--why do fundamentalists still believe they are sacred??
Exodus 21: 23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Matthew 5: 38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right

cheek, turn to him the other also.

Please answer with your own words, not verses from the Bible, although it might be based on the Bible and your beliefs, of course, but try to think for yourself.

My concept of sin is none. I don't see myself as sinner, at least not the concept most people preach around. I know I commit mistakes. I did and I still do, but that doesn't put me in any lower position than anyone. Sin sounds to me like someone dirty or repulsive. We are all beautiful and equal. We all commit mistakes in life and that's OK. Some of us might insist on the mistake, because we are naturally stubborn, but eventually, in this life or next, we overcome and learn from that.

Peace!
