Well her testimony is correct, Christ must come before husband/wife or children. The reason for this is that without Christ as a foundation, husband/w...
Have you been tuning in to fake news? X-) I mean, for example, not enough time has passed yet for him to have increased or decreased poverty in the fi...
My point is correcting the false things you've been saying about me for no reason: I never started talking about myself until that point. I don't thin...
Yeah so what? I don't seem to be troubled by the fact others eat more icecream than I do, why should I be troubled by the fact that others have more s...
Why is this a problem? Nope, I wouldn't go that far. This would be to presuppose sex is some sort of "god" that we all must have to live a fulfilled l...
No I'm not. :s That's not coercion! How is me saying something to you coercing you? Coercion means physically restraining them from getting to the abo...
No, I don't think I'd be fine with that. 150-m away from abortion providers is a public space, so people there should be able to say whatever they wan...
Morally speaking it seems like no, because it appears you don't respect human life, because you have no respect for some necessary stages of that life...
:s There's no philosophical yoga. It's an absolutely natural position. You need philosophical yoga to assert that a blastocyst - if left alone - doesn...
Anything that is in the process of developing into a fully grown human being if there is no external interference (blastocyst, baby, child, teenager, ...
Yes that's exactly right. The difference between the two is that one case speaks of what's moral and immoral without making me entitled to something, ...
In what sense is there no way to reconcile the two positions? Absolutely, just like an egg that has started to develop is a chicken. Saying that I hav...
Natural law - and social law - aren't fictions, but these have to do with what actions are morally (or legally) permissible, not with what "rights" so...
It's not a question of rights, it's a question of what's legally and morally permissible. It's not morally or legally permissible to use force to stop...
As far as I'm concerned rights do not exist. Talking about a "right to marry" is nonsense. There's no such right for anyone. If a priest refuses me to...
Morally speaking no, because he would be harming a human being. But if there are people around the world who want to live in such barbaric societies, ...
No religions cannot be obliged to recognise gay marriage for example. Indeed, that would be to harm religious believers and to restrict their freedom....
I wouldn't say she's exactly a homo-hater. She evidently shows some degree of empathy for her son and feels pained by communicating less with him. It'...
I personally really don't think so. Yes there are some believers who are more literalistic and legalistic in their beliefs, but they're not sociopathi...
Yes, actually we do have quite a bit of control over our digestive and metabolic processes. It's true that we don't have absolute control, but we can ...
How is the world "in the subject"? :s If the world is in the subject, then I should expect to have some degree of control over it no? Afterall, one th...
You can look up yourself the several times he has expressed a desire to ban people. Yes, but I wouldn't support allowing members to decide who gets ba...
Well yes, so he wants a feature that allows the common folk to ban others from the site, presumably if they get some form of majority over it. And tha...
You know, it is kind of amazing that a guy who multiple times publicly and unashamedly says that if it was after him he would ban certain members with...
>:O This is pure gold. There were like 3-4 people, to say the least who expressed concern over it, but they don't matter. That's good, I didn't know y...
Well :D - if they actually did that when I politely ask them not to, then I doubt that "simply direct that person to leave" will work >:) . I might ha...
I don't think it's a recipe for disaster. In a court of law, very often the damages done through the actions end up more important than the actions th...
That, of course, ignores the fact that a leader is temporary in a democracy, but permanent in a monarchy. This means that the monarchical leader neces...
I think that part of the problem with the moderation is that for justice to be done, some people DO need special favours and treatment. You cannot tre...
Ahhh okay! :D So he's a fascist? :P But it doesn't have a monopoly on the means? Democracy =/ principled opposition. Really - that's not the definitio...
One of the best presidents in the last 20 or so years. He's doing what a President should do, which is not being a slave to the media and to what othe...
Put this another way - if I owned this forum, you think I'd ban you for opposing me or something? :s In fact, this forum as it is isn't a democracy at...
But you don't sympathise with Tolkien's view of democracy? We were talking about his view of democracy, not modernity mind you. That's not true. The v...
That was addressed to Jesus' direct disciples who were responsible for setting up, with the aid of the Holy Spirit, Christ's Church. The Church - and ...
Yes, but this isn't to say that it cannot be discovered naturally. Yes. I came to my moral views before I became a Christian, and actually my morality...
People never get involved in policy development in a democracy. And if we had a king, that wouldn't stop me from opening a hospital. By asking the kin...
Is J.R.R. Tolkien a fascist too? :s He said he is not a democrat, and he favored monarchy as well. I guess he's a fascist too. You should really know ...
