What is truth? Try answering it without using a Bible.
This is what I believe to be the truth:
Outside of death and resurrection of Jesus Christ I see no other hope for humanity.
You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.
What do you believe to be the truth? Give it your best shot.
I think those three are the biggest scam ever to have scourged mankind and the sooner we shuck the blinders of the duped the sooner the human race can actually mature into a species that doesn't start wars over religion.
I have no idea if there is a god or not. I am a bible atheist though.
I think if anything, if there is a god or gods, we are under quarantine because it is very clear no god has come down to Earth to help fix our boo boo's.
Our species will go extinct one day without a peep from the alleged god you worship.
We have already lost literally hundreds of millions of people to wars and not a word from your or anyone else's god. Prove me wrong. Without resorting to a bunch of bloated bible verses.
Originally posted by apathistSure, there are a lot of things we don't know. But your life force, how would you go about proving that? And what do you mean by 'life force' anyway? Soul?
Sonhouse, have you considered there may be a life force? More going on then atoms bouncing around.
Physics is easy, and it isn't the whole story.
If life has a force then I would expect any planet with anything like our Earth climate, liquid water, sunlight and such would have life on it and therefore life would exist on literally trillions of planets in the universe and billions of planets in our own galaxy.
Out of all that life, I would expect mankind not to be the pinnacle of creation that there would be life beyond us somewhere in the universe and probably in our own Milky way.
So where are they?
My guess is we are too far down the totem pole of civilized society to be worth being contacted and maybe never will since our funnest game seems to be war.

This is probably by design, to prevent civilizations from destroying one another, since it is so difficult to reach any others, separated as we are by space, and, therefore, time.
Originally posted by FMFAn abortion to actually allow the mother to live when both would die isn't clearly sinful, but for the most part the answer to your question is yes.
Be that as it may, but do you see carrying out abortions and engaging in homosexual sex as being "sins"?
Originally posted by FMFI think her answer would be that it doesn't matter if it is sinful since if you believe you have taken Jesus as your savior your sins are covered by Jesus' grace.
The question is for Suzianne, not you.
Let's see how far off I am if she bothers to reply.
