....greatest number. Can we say that that the firemen in this example below a utilitarianist?

For an example, let us say there are two buildings both on the verge of collapse. One has 2 ppl, the other 6. And you are a fireman. You only have enough time to save one group. You choose to save the 6 people. Are you a utilitarianist then?

I have yet to hear of a single Native American, Englishman, Norse, Zulu, Aborigini, Eskimo, Mexican, Hawaiian, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, or Russian claim that their language started when their ancestors were building a great towering building to reach the heavens and god knocked it down. Why do you answer serious questions with this fairy tale?

If this upsets you, apologize in advance, but isn't it clear that this story is NOT to be taken literally, even if you are a believer of the Judaic faith and it's spin-offs?

...athiests starting answering me. What are they doing here on R&S anyway, they don't even believe in God? Shouldn't they be in the evolution section explaining why there are still monkeys if we evolved from monkeys? They can't even prove God doesn't exist, and why do they have funerals anyway? And why do they always bring up Santa Clause, do they even celibrate religious holidays? How can they be athiests when Hitler and Stalin were athiests? Don't they have a moral code or something?

Such as "hot mamma" (with a provocative picture) and "smarta$$"? And in the same breath berate others for being ungodly and cursing? A bit of the old hypocrisy, methinks.

just need more input on the Matrix and the Plato's cave similarity and what do you think about Reloaded and Revolution. I believe that the hole Matrix experiences ends at the first movie. After that it depends in how you take it , and how you want your freedom to be.

Wrong. What you are about to type I'm sure is wrong. The correct answer is:

To sell all of the things that you have and give the money to the poor..

"And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? . . . Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." (Matthew 19:16-21. See also Luke 12:33)

Have you noticed that, they take verses and accommodate the interpretation the way they want it, without really study the real meaning!

I have noticed that their explanations about the OT are really out of context!

For example, "God is a murderer" is one of the things they usually interpret incorrectly.

I encourage you to study The Old Testament

To paraphrase him, its the only book of the Bible that doesn't speak of Jesus, and he had serious doubts about including it in the Bible.

Serious question to the fundamentalists.

You quote Leviticus as it relates to homosexuality, and say we should interpret the verses literally.

However, when Leviticus says that a woman shouldn't enter the church during her menstrual period, or that you shouldn't wear a cloth of more than one fibers, or that you shouldn't eat certain meats...the fundies say this is no longer to be interpreted literal.

So, how do you pick and choose?

Some will say not to pay attention to the old testament, that the old was abolished by Jesus, blah, blah blah.

But even in the New Testament...again, you will point at what the Apostle Paul writes in Corinthians about homosexuality and say to follow that literally...but, when he talks about the subjective role of women, that they shouldn't speak at church...you say, we should not interpret that literally.

It seems you select the "sins" that don't affect you as literal...and explain away the others.
