I guess I should have put practically unwinnable for that too, but it would be harder than North Korea in that context because of the geography. Lol, was joking for the most part.

Earth is at an equilibrium. When a stress is applied to this equilibrium (such as increased levels of CO2), there will be adverse effects as the system attempts to reestablish an equilibrium. It is called a pollutant for practical purposes. I highly doubt that it is produced at a higher or...

You are in violation of your own rule #1. :bee:

They may not lie about it, but I would question the reliability of the tested. Then you would also have to consider the similarity of the legal system to the religion's moral system. There is most likely only a vague correlation given all the factors. Nevertheless, those are some surprising...

No, I didn't want to ignore your post so I responded with sarcasm. :D That's hard to believe...reliability of data? I also would expect people to turn to religion in times of hardship.

Oh, that's news to me. :dizzy:

Esplain. If I am reading this correctly, you are saying atheists are proven to act ethically?

+1, that was very informative. To build on cman's post - you are proposing the current method is counter-productive...how do you propose to replace it without coming up with problems like the one previously mentioned?

Humans were at some point doomed to suffer. With faith, we can obtain freedom from earthly suffering. God orders people not to murder. He will punish people for murdering. He never said He would stop the murders. It is our duty as human beings to not murder and to spread the word of God to...

I disagree. We could use hundreds of nuclear warheads, it is not out of our scope, but that would be a bad idea in every single aspect imaginable besides winning the war. I would call a war with North Korea "practically unwinnable". My foreign affairs opinions is that we shouldn't stick our...

Devil's advocate time. This should make things interesting. I agree with your first claim, but the certainly does not apply to all theists. I haven't thought free will over yet. It begins with the close relationship of God's goodness, good-evil, and free will. God creates free will. Good and...

Point well taken. Except I would disagree that "something being unnatural, therefore wrong" is an argument at all. I would call it a narrow-minded excuse to criminalize something solely because it's unconventional. You mean educate people for the 10th time about something people should learn in...

That's harsh. Let's keep him for the drama :). One thing I dislike about biology is the arbitrary nature of species categorization. The biological species concept does not explain the term "species" fully without having exceptions. For example, we cannot call a male unable to produce sperm born...

Let's call it a difference in perspective. Shall we? Interesting stance winged angel. You're going to have to argue more than that against majority thought if you want to convince any of us.

I don't think anyone knows what Hinduism actually is. It has been defying definition for centuries. According to my studies, Hinduism is "believe whatever you want as long as it has something to do with God...reincarnation is recommended...karma is recommended".
