Yes, very good question. I have not understood that either. How could a God that is supposed to be good produce evil? How can a good tree produce bad ...
Hmmm...true opposite must be the complete absence. Why does hate push people apart? If love brings them together, then hate clearly lacks that binding...
First you must define what good is. I think good is like perfect; many virtues put together. So, yes, evil is the absence of truth, love, kindness, pa...
No. Red has it's own distinct light wave length. While we might think we are seeing them combined, they are in fact only what we think we see, and the...
Can we have light and dark at the same time in the same place? If evil was a completely separate substance, then it should be possible for a deed to b...
Giving grades in school is not dangerous, I think. As others have stated, without them, then children would not know how well they are performing in t...
I think there are different levels of hate. I don't hate mushrooms like I would hate evil deeds such as stealing or murder of innocent people. Perhaps...
Suit yourself. You are not offering any convincing counter arguments proving me wrong, so I have nothing to work with. You say I am wrong, but don't s...
Oh yes, of course. I see this often, many religious people are ignorant of the qualities of the God they claim to believe. I am not sure I understand ...
With my definition of atheism, that you claimed to accept, then you are the one who is changing what is meant by atheism. Atheism is the rejection of ...
Hmm, very interesting. You do identify as an atheist, and think that if a god exists, that one can't know it, correct? I think your definition of your...
This is what I have been saying all along, nothing more nothing less. You went on about the levels of atheism, and implied that weak atheists don't re...
Average in western Europe? Average in the Far East? Mhm. You denied that definition, and I am not sure why. :s How have I insulted you? If it is in re...
You can't say they are normal unless you choose to define what normal is. It depends on the culture. A theist is one who believes in theism, so an ath...
A lone pup surrounded by other lone pups? :s >:O >:O If I didn't know better, I would think that the owl may have had a bit too much to drink if it wa...
I suppose just the same as the emperor couldn't explain why no one could see his new "clothes"... I am just too silly to understand that. I am a mere ...
What is superior? Clearly, you cannot control me (although you could delete my posts >:O ). You can't control what I think or do, so are you really su...
I agree with this, for the most part. Humans are truly weak and inferior compared to many things. Strength wise, a horse or a bear can quickly over po...
Some children lie, or really don't know what they are talking about. :P One can't know with hard evidence that a superior being does not exist; hence,...
Sorrow expands our ability to understand happiness. Sorrow drives us deeper, allowing our roots of character to strengthen. If one always lived in the...
Couldn't that be accredited to personality, which is in part genetic? I still don't see how one's personality would force you to believe something or ...
I do not belong to any particular denomination, just Christianity and I try to stay with the teachings found in Scripture. It is somewhat of a long st...
I think where you are coming from is that it is uncomfortable to see that God is Just, and not only loving. From the Christian Scripture, we can find ...
I agree with this. :) That is rather depressing...but it does seem to be true. Well, I guess some Christians are gun-toting, but some aren't, such as ...
You are 0.8% if you are a woman in that category. :P Otherwise it is roughly 2% of the total population. By the way, I am most assuredly not spontaneo...
Life may be meaningless for you, but you have no right to say that it is meaningless for anyone else. As for declaring belief of God to be irrational,...
Sounds like a fantasy now... in fact it sounds like true communism, where the "workers" own everything necessary for production and there are no autho...
Distrubutism could work on a smaller scale for some industries, but I think it would be less efficient in terms of mass production. One would not nece...
Well, I wasn't really asking you, but anyway >:O . I do not think the ad was really meant to prove all leftists wrong (one can't prove anyone wrong in...
That does not sound good! I hope he gets better soon. I cannot offer any advice because I do not know much in terms of that disease, but all I can say...
If I may ask for further clarification, are you asking 1) Why do some believe there to be a God ? 2) How do Christians know that they believe in the r...
It is necessary for the military to be operated under a mostly centralized authority not because of lack of fast communication, but because of lack of...
