Where does man’s conscience come from? Why or how does man have an innate sense of right and wrong?
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeSo you feel an atheist is only accountable to himself? What if an atheist sees nothing wrong with rape and murder? Is such a person accountable to no one if he never gets caught?

Wake up and smell the coffee, Heartpence. You’re posting in a fog today, with your Google quotes and illogical points.
Best stick to trolling today or the banana peels will be flying.

In all it's glory:
Sweden is 80% atheist. Imagine an entire country without morals! Oh, wait, they have one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Huh, guess religion isn't that important after all and that man is only really accountable to his conscience.
A Christian is heard fleeing the building.
As I said earlier, it’s like you’re wandering around lost in a forest but insisting you know where you are.
Sad!

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeCarl Sagan may have been a brilliant cosmologist but he was an absolute boob when it came to God and Christianity. Sagan once claimed the tree in the Garden of Eden was the “tree of knowledge” and that God forbid Adam and Eve from eating from it because he wanted them to be ignorant.
You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe.
Carl Sagan
Such an elementary and embarrassing error highlights the danger of thinking because you’re an authority in one field, you’re an authority in all fields.

And you (of course) run the risk when venturing into theological issues of a major catastrophe such as LittlePup encountered less than 24 hours ago.
Originally posted by @js357The Upper Room is a great group. The United Methodist Church has always been allied with the Episcopal Church in America (both being Wesleyan churches, as opposed to Calvinist).
From digging around the website:
"The Upper Room® is a global ministry dedicated to supporting the spiritual life of Christians seeking to know and experience God more fully. From its beginnings in 1935 as a daily devotional guide, The Upper Room has grown to include publications, programs, prayer support, and other resources to help believers of all ages ...[text shortened]... international agencies, boards and commissions of The United Methodist [b]Church.

What I don't know is why you bolded 'Church' in your last line. Is that your beef with them? That a Christian group is allied with a church? Shocking!
