Purely out of curiosity, I would like to know why people on this forum like/dislike Kerry/Bush. I know people do not admire Kerry's habit of changing his mind, whereas Bush 'Sticks to his guns' so to speak. Personally, I distrust Bush. But then, I have never lived under his administartion...

Yes, Kidan. I see. I was stating the reasons why there is unrest regarding the war, not griping about why I didn't like it. Saddam deserved to be removed. That much is obvious. I simply believe there should have been more planning. Although I believe the war did a good thing by removing...

Wow, that's a lot of info. Thanks. DV, have you read some of Moore's books?

Hmm. Don't want to drag this off-topic, but... Actually there's a lot of unrest in the UK about the war. For starters, loads of women and children were killed in collateral damage. Far more than 9/11 (Not to bellittle it). Also, now we are in there, no one has a clue what to do. We went in...

Manhunt is sick, I agree. But whats' the deal with GTA? To me at least, it is incredibly boring. All you do is go out, nick a car and do missions for gangsters which are almost always along the lines of 'Kill, steal, KKND'. It would have been better if you could organise gang raids and...

I read some of Moore's books. I'm interested: What lies does he tell? Edit: Bowser, Michael Moore is slightly to the Left of Lenin Trotsky. Read his books Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's my country? to get an idea of what he says. But I never knew he was a liar.

Call me gullible, but I think I can gather you are not a liar. Not to suppose too much, but you never struck me as dishonest. However, your posts about how many miracles we chalk up to luck or chance can work the opposite. How many times can a random chance event be chalked up to God? How many...

An answer to why someone chose a belief system over another... Thank you. So you believe that which is closer to pure biblical teaching and Jesus' teaching is the right one? The less the religion digresses from what the Bible says is better? Many have tried to follow pure biblical teachings...

LOL, well as long as we realise none of us are budging, perhaps some civility can return?

Come on guys. I started this thread to ask what the significance of so many religions was. If Christianity truly is the right way, why are there so many sects, cults,etc.(See page 1 for link) You'd think if Christianity is so blatantly obvious, there wouldn't be so much division. Any...

Hmm. I believe the God bound by logic argument has taken place elsewhere. Try reading Freewill (It went off topic) theres a lengthy discussion regarding that. But if God could do anything, what is the need for this ridiculous charade we call life if he ultimately sorts us into two groups: The...

and that's a good thing? I'm not doubting your good intentions. But isn't the ultimate motivation of faith reward? Why is being good to get into heaven more noble than being good because it is something you want to do? Why is refusing sin better if you have the proverbial candy at the end to...

Exactly when does a prayer become a worthy one?

But where we disagree is why a non-believer is condemned for being good for it's own sake, while a believer is saved for doing it for their own salvation. I know not everyone does, but in the end, isn't that dishonest motivation? It strikes me as somewhat unfair. A person can be charitable...

But it put paid to the Church's belief the Earth was flat, the sun revolved around the Earth etc.?

You do it for Christ. I respect faith, but I do it for people who need goodness. To make a point abundantly clear, I NEVER believe anybody with faith to be ignorant, stubborn etc. I had it myself. I'm not sure I get you, but are you saying that Jesus is prerequisite for goodness? Correct me...

LOL and I suppose isn't breaking the Deadly Sin of Pride, is it?

Byblos, that is extremely conceited. No one is a saint. How do you know God thinks of you as a saint? Firstly, God doesn't just punish the wicked. He punishes virtuous unbelievers too. A guy could be a flawless saint and an atheist. And the guy would toast. It seems unfair to condemn good...

Without conceit, I can say I am a good person. I dislike hurting people, I feel guilty when I upset or hurt someone else, I would never dream of killing anybody. I do not need a threat or a notion of eternal paradise to do good. I do good because I feel someone needs a break. Because someone...

Kill time I guess
