I think the glee you take in the potential suffering of others points to some serious issues of your own. Take a good long look at yourself - wishing eternal suffering on others is not only not very Christian, its borderline sociopathic.

Why do humans think cats care what flavour their food is? You're talking about an animal that wipes its backside with it's tongue here remember.

"It doesn't matter whether homosexuality is genetic or chosen; the fact that it is a sin still stands." Absolutely true. In some religions at least - yours particularly apparently. However, the fact that some religious people consider something a sin does not mean that that something should...

Tip 1: Please don't capitalise every word. It's unnecessary and jarring to read. Tip 2: Not agreeing with you, or having a different opinion, does not constitute being a "misinformed idiot". Tip 3: This is the internet, what do you expect?

I've no idea why your astronomy textbook is discussing biological evolution. If it is discussing evolution in any other context, it is merely using the word, but meaning something slightly different. Evolution is NOT inevitable, even given the existence of life. Evolution is only inevitable...

There's little point being rational with creationists, their entire worldview is based on irrationality. Being calm and polite is probably more helpful to you than to them, since it means you walk away merely frustrated, rather than angry, embarrassed and frustrated.

Dude, you're engaged and the issue has never come up before? Are you for real? If waiting until the wedding night is so important to you shouldn't this have been the sort of thing you discussed while getting to know each other and before deciding you wanted to spend the rest of your lives together?

Can you imagine how boring Wicca TV would be? 4 teenage girls sitting around a few candles with some pretty rocks, oh, sorry, I mean crystals, strewn around the floor casting love spells on Jimmy the high school football captain. Hold me back. Think I'd rather half an hour of Creflo Dollar, at...

I think we went down a different evolutionary pathway, that meant instead of using muscle and strength to resolve issues, we used brainpower. As a result we are suited to few environments on this earth, but conversely can survive in almost all of them.

I see a number of problems with your structure, but it depends on the debate. If the debate is the existence of the Christian God, you are potentially wasting your time with cosmological and teleological arguments, since neither can be used to demonstrate a specific deity. If your plan, which...

I've often wondered what the explanation from the faith alone brigade is for the Book of James. Seems to be pretty clearly stated in there that works are an essential part of the equation - and that real faith will be shown by works. They never really seem to deal with this one properly.

While generally I agree that the onset of christianity heralded the dark ages and set civilisation back a fair bit, I must mention that medical knowledge was still effectively that espoused by the Romans up to the enlightenment - and after. It didn't go backwards, it just didn't go forwards at...

Nobody has addressed it because biblical prophecies don't describe our society. Christians have been living in end times for 2000 years - every generation has reinterpreted the prophecies to suit the events of their own time. That they never seem to realise that they weren't wrong because they...

Which one would that be? Africa? Central and South America? Australia? Pacific Islands?
