TwilightGuardian Calling this conjecture would be too generous. What on earth are you talking about? Humans have not been around for as long as the earth. We count modern man's existence in thousands of years or tens of thousands of years. We have only been around for the...

TwilightGuardian "Darwin himself eventually said that the theory of evolution was impossible" Please find the exact quote you're talking about so I can explain exactly why you're wrong.

Moses part V The Bull

freethinkingagent @freethinkingagent (2501) 28 Dec 08

Now we move Moses as the sun to Taurus. For this discussion one need to reread the myth of The Eridanus River and one of the sons of Helios the god of light. The young son asked to drive Apollo's sun chariot, he was given...

Is not faith blind?

Frederick42 @Frederick42 (2043) • Canada 27 Dec 08

Since faith is based on that which has never been proved, I feel that faith is blind. It would not matter if people only had faith so that they feel comforted or inspired by it, but the sad thing is that people also use their...

TwilightGuardian I agree about the last sentence but the one before it is not true. Faith is a problem because it's a terrible basis for making decisions. We should be encouraged to make decisions based on evidence and logic, not on faith.

Heaven cannot exist

Frederick42 @Frederick42 (2043) • Canada 28 Dec 08

Even if heaven exists, it could not be a reward for our good deeds or because of our belief in God. If you do good deeds in order to reach heaven, how unconditional is your doing good? Would you be good if you were not promised...

TwilightGuardian I would suggest you think a little more carefully about when you use the word "logically".

Postman mauled by rottweilers as he delivers Christmas cards

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43907) • Cambridge, England 23 Dec 08

A postman was attacked in Cambridge, yesterday morning near a detached house in a quiet, suburban street. His life may have been saved by a bricklayer, who tried to beat the dogs off with an iron bar before running one of them...

TwilightGuardian Wrong! They're animals first and foremost. Dogs need no input or influence from humans to make them do this. Certain breeds are worse than others, of course, but as a general rule they are still wild animals and it is an instinct of theirs to behave...

Is life imprisonment for murderers really worth our millions of tax dollars?

zhuuraan @zhuuraan (961) • United States 23 Dec 08

I'm sure this subject has come up before, but I haven't seen it recently so here goes. What is your take on the death penalty? Do you think it should or should not exist? Why or why not? As for me, I believe that the death...

TwilightGuardian And they get to spend 23 hours a day in the same room. And they get to defecate next to where they sleep. They also get contact with the world limited to a monthly visit if somebody chooses to go and see them! These criminals really are living like kings...

Why Jesus could not be the Messiah as Prophesized-A Bible debate

cyntrow @cyntrow (8523) • United States 17 Dec 08

There are several biblical reasons why the Jewish people do not believe and will not believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah that they were awaiting. I will, purposes of this debate, address only one of these...

How Would This Make You Feel?

singlemommy @singlemommy (2955) • United States 17 Dec 08

My ex who is the father of my daughter talked to me a month or so ago about how he was thinking about asking his girlfriend of a few months to marry him. He wanted my honest opinion. I gave him my honest opinion. I asked that he...

TwilightGuardian Sounds like you've got some problems of your own, love. How do you know how this woman deserves to be treated? She could be foaming at the mouth and sociopathic for all you know! On a serious note, this kind of emotional response is not productive and only...

Is Truth Important to You?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 22 Nov 08

Most people would automatically answer "yes" to this question, but do we really believe truth is important? Most people decide what they believe or will accept, then search for "truth" based on what they already decided. When...

TwilightGuardian I am offended by your offense. I demand you apologise at once! Or instead of apologising, you could engage in a reasonable, logical discussion. I would prefer the latter. You didn't actually respond to anything I said. Tell me why I am wrong. A vast...

TwilightGuardian To murderistic: It is quite acceptable to say "I don't know". You don't have to fill in gaps of knowledge with "God did it".

Do you date outside your faith?

chasingsunlight @chasingsunlight (261) • United States 20 Nov 08

I have dated guys who are not the same religion as me (I am Jewish). However, I have met many people who will not date someone who is not of their faith or at least a denomination of their faith. When I do get married, I will want...

TwilightGuardian Good question. I would personally be opposed to that. I would encourage my children to learn about the religion, but I wouldn't push them into being part of the religion. I don't think it's fair to force religious beliefs on to children. Their brains are...

Do You Believe in God?

Chiang_Mai_boy @Chiang_Mai_boy (3882) • Thailand 21 Nov 08

Do you believe in God? If you do why do you? What kind of God do you believe in? Do you believe in one God or do you allow for the chance that there may be many Gods? Is your God the only god or is it alright if I believe in a...

TwilightGuardian The obvious question then is if "something must be behind something", what is behind the other something? It's not really an explanation at all, is it, you simply create another problem for yourself every time you go backwards. It's an infinite regress.

TwilightGuardian Well yes, exactly. It has to be the default conclusion until evidence is presented otherwise.

Is abortion actually gods plan at work?

sudoaptget @sudoaptget (30) • United States 18 Nov 08

I have been wondering this for quite a while. Everyone says that god has a plan for each person what if that plan for some is abortion. Without there being such a high abortion rate nobody would care to stop it. What if some of...

TwilightGuardian Indeed, but it doesn't mean every opinion is equally valid. It's not your right to an opinion I am responding to, it's the opinion itself. Do you also view contraception in the same way?
