:rofl: But the problem still remains, why is a "draconian"' response wrong? The answer is that justice is intolerant, as are the laws of nature. When ...

You say it is wrong. They say it was right. How dare you become a moral agent! From an objective viewpoint though, what determines right from wrong?

Who says it is wrong? :naughty: The "culture" you live in today? But that would be fitting for a different thread... It is directly tied into the perc...

It really isn't outside the point. If one looks at the surrounding forms of punishment, one would quickly see that Judean laws were not cruel whatsoev...

Nah. A good deal of the time though, things are not what they seem. :wink:

No faith needed really. I figured that out when I was agnostic...

The optimist sees the glass half full, the pessimist sees it half empty, and a mom sees it as a glass that's going to get spilled one way or the other...

Exactly. It is questionable.

How do I get along better with someone? :joke:

Most of those are fairy tales... 1) You quoted from the Quran, which I find tons of problems in those texts. They are illogical. I don't think I've ev...

Yup. And I disagree. :halo: What errors did he try to hide with the deluge? All I know is that MAN became corrupt and refused to repent. They were war...

Nope. Human nature is corruptible. Hence the reason no human can possibly understand God completely.

True...

Maybe just a slower approach would be okay for you, or perhaps more of one-on-one teaching.

Hmmm, interesting... :chin:

They do I think. :joke:

Mmm, yes. I understand that. That's one reason that lectures are quite difficult. :lol: One can't pause the speaker to finish thinking.

Hmm, interesting... I just absorb whatever they throw at me, then when I need to write a paper, I just take that and try to organize what I collected ...

Now back to more study... :grimace: Care to join me?

Whew! :sweat: :party:

I did I did I did. :groan: :broken:

:scream: How did you know I ate the last two today???!!! :broken:

Indeed. Especially chocolate ones... :yum:

Cookies. :eyes:

"To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you ...

What about him?

No matter where you are, or what you've done, or who you are, there is still hope. There is still someone who can see into your heart, pick you up whe...

Tis perfect, especially chocolate. :blush: As for your teeth, I shan't look. :monkey:

Essentially what you said was that the ingredients of cake can be bad, but not cake itself. And you need to brush your teeth. :joke:

:flower: :flower: :flower:

The crushed flower emits a lovely fragrance.

I define theocracy as rule by a god. Humans are far too corrupted to act in place of God, so they are not really accurate in demonstrating what God wa...

Thanks! :blush: Got a really good grade on it too, A + !

Yes, I agree. :) Often technology is the lazy way out, I've noticed this a lot in aviation. There is the hard way that consists of working all the pro...

Whew! Finished my paper for school! :sweat:

Happiness is meaningless. It is here for but a fleeting moment, a shallow emotion. What I see from your post is not pessimism, but rather the desire f...

Theocracy belongs in the same category as capitalism and communism; none of these have truly been executed in the absolute sense in the real world, no...

Is AI really intelligent? Rather, I see it as nothing more than mathematical calculations. Creativity seems to be unique to living things.

Yes, they could "define" it as such, but as many disagree on who or what makes a god real, then they can't be true theocracies. I see most nations tha...

They are closely related. Iran is definitely not a theocracy. It is a human government that falsely declares that their god is the leader. Theocracy c...

Human rights are necessary because all people are created equal. No one today lives in a theocracy. The rights are not evil, nor do they set good and ...

There are many things that are impossible for a non-human to do, such as creative work.

That is one crabby cat...

Yikes.

Eh. It was automatic I was driving.

Well, I almost actually had my last word today. The brakes went out in my truck as I was going down the road at normal speed. Went to slow down to tur...

Bleh. That may actually be my final word in life... lol.

And what be they, comrade?

:chin: Problems?
