honestly tho i feel like people liked me more my first round of being staff which is totally weird because i was horrible compared to the most recent length of time that i was staff

 

Historically, we were all oppressed. Unlanded gentry used to not have a vote, Englishmen used to be slaves.

But in all reality, everyone is exactly the same as everyone else. Fight for equal rights, which I believe everyone should have, then do like the rest of us and shut up.

 

I think this is a very close minded debate with a general regard to Christianity. The better prose for this would be "is there A god?" referring rather to the theistic standpoint rather than just to Christianity.

Theistically, I believe there is a god. I recently read a book called I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist and although this was a Christian based book, I believe that the science presented in the book does prove a theistic god, aka a god that doesn't pertain to a specific religion. N00bslayer, I'd implore you to read this, your accusations are a bit radical, at least from my standpoint. I'll be dissecting your argument based on both a Christian God and a theistic god belief.

Actually, if you look at some of the laws of nature you'll find the law of causality which, in summary, states "Everything made has a cause." This law can be referred back to a cosmological argument for the existence of a god which states, "Everything that had a beginning had a cause, the universe had a beginning therefore the universe had a cause." This is further backed up by the big bang theory, the big bang theory is the theory that the universe came from nothing. How does something come from nothing? It doesn't unless there was a creator. Now, you may say, "The universe has always existed." This is false, science has proven that everything in the universe needs a power source, including the universe itself. Science has also proven that the universe is billions of years old, with this in mind how much energy is used in billions of years? Short answer: a lot. If the universe was infinite, then there would need to be an infinite power source however, science has shown (I would love to cite to the actual scientist whom states this however, I can't remember off the top of my head) that there is a finite amount of energy in the universe so therefore, the universe cannot be infinite because of a finite energy source. So what does this leave? Something that created the universe out of nothing. This doesn't need to be Yaweh, Allah, or God, it just means that there was a creator.

In the beginning when the Christian God created Adam and Eve, he gave them free choice. Their free choice led them to sin. Sin is the source of all evil in this world and the source of pain and suffering. What else is pain and suffering? War and tragedy. The sin that Adam and Eve brought into this world brought war, tragedy, loss, etc. However, God has given hope to those who are suffering through those by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. The way you're portraying God is like he is evil, when he is not. My Christian God is a loving God who gave a sacrifice so that by believing we may have eternal life in his name. (John 3:16 !) Planes crashing down are not a work of God, it is a work of Satan. Planes crashing down and killing innocents is why God gave Jesus to die, so that the innocent people may believe in Jesus and therefore not perish and suffer in hell but, rather spend eternity in heaven.

I'm assuming that you're getting this off the internet. In the Old Testament, God only kills the wicked and the sinners of the earth whom he knows (he knows this because God is omnipotent, omnipresent and all knowing) will not repent of their ways in the future. This is seen in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorah (spell check me on that one!). God, however, allows there to be a chance that these people would repent and come to him however, these people do not take it so, they pay the punishment for their sin. The punishment for sin is death. Lucifer (aka Satan) hasn't put the knife in the chest of a person, however, he is the cause for every death in the world. Lucifer brought sin into this world through the temptation of Eve. Lucifer is to blame for all death, not God.

A man who lost his arm will have another arm in Heaven. Earthly forms for God do not matter, why? Because God sees your perfect form in heaven, with him. Faith alone cannot prevent anything except an eternity in hell. Correct faith does not produce hatred, famine, racism and ignorance however, wrong faith does.

Regardless if you want to believe in a Christian God or not there is clear scientific evidence of at least a creator, which would be, in the theistic sense, god. In my mind, there is no way to disprove that there is a god, creator and that there is a God, the father.

N00bslayer, I'm a very devout person and would love to enlighten you about the Bible if you are interested in continuing talks, message me on the forums and we will talk about God

Damn

Anyway I was going to stay out of this conversation because personally I get upset easily so I know debates aren't my thing but here:

Let write this about men
I understand men don't like wearing shirts when it's hot. But I don't exactly enjoy seeing a man's bare chest on the bus. I have seen some horrible and strange things around my city, and other cities like NYC. You would think men care about modesty and privacy.
Because honestly for every woman you see breast feeding there is a dude shirtless. I didn't want to see his chest but I just have to live with it. Just like going to the doctor's it's irritating for you and your parents but you have to live with it because it makes you healthy! So much of your comfort relies on others discomfort, can't you just deal with this?
Anyway that's my thought

 

I don't a ton about him but I know enough that he wouldn't be good for president.

 

"Other people will look" is not a defense against public breastfeeding though. That lies purely between the woman, and the people looking. If she is not comfortable with people looking, then she can go to a more private area. But she should equally accept people looking and/or staring just as others should accept her ability to feed her child in public.

More-so, I think that women should be free to breastfeed where they want, as long as they do not have unreasonable expectations of society. If someone is looking, I don't feel they have a legitimate complaint against that, because they are doing it in public.

 

So are old christians not welcome here or do you accept all ages

 

I'd bow to Kim Jong-Un because I don't want to die or work in a concentration camp. Assuming I ever go to North Korea.

 

The bias in which I am referring to is the notion that when a white cop shoots a black person it is met with riots while if a black cop shot another black person there would be nothing said. The situation appears to be "Black Lives Matter only if a black life is taken by the hands of a white man because then it must be a hate crime". The movement focuses on a minuscule amount of cases in which a black person is killed at the hands of white officers but never publicly condemns gang violence which results in many more black lives lost. The idea that "Black Lives Matter" shouldn't exclusively be held to castigate a small population of the police community that are pigs. I'm white and I don't love cops... For the most part they are arrogant and feel above people and just write out tickets. In all I think it is a biased movement to make an excuse for anti-cop and anti-authority rhetoric. White on black murders are significantly less than black on black murders and there are about 6 times the amounts of whites compared to blacks in the USA.... What does that tell you? Black Lives Matter completely ignores a majority of the problem and selectively goes after a small minority.

According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. That is 1,460 more black Americans killed by other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968, according to the Tuskegee Institute.

It would take cops 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone: And that is accounting for justified shootings.

So instead of going after cops why not focus on black on black crime? The answer is easy, we rather not look at that inconvenient truth because it is easier to pull the race card.

"White people don't get shot"



So yes, you are a stupid sandwich.

Caitlym Jenner may be female, but I will forever call her a "he".

 

I think the entire debate is pathetic. They're humans, they're people, they're the same, they just love different people. I don't understand why that changes anything.

 

Whoa grampa.

Women are not ignorant or mindless, if they make a decision to strike somebody, they deserve the reprocussions. Would you strike a 300 lbs 6'7 guy? If you did, would you not deserve his hamfist in your face?
