But I would like to ask theists: How did you arrive at the conclusion that your faith (whatever demonination you belong to) was the correct one? My signature below was discussed at a psycology lesson last week. I have also noticed that a few Christians on this site mentioned they were...

World Religions You will not believe just how many different beliefs there are. I knew there were many, but I had no idea there was THAT many. So what is your thoughts? Why so many faiths? There is also a section on extremeism and various secret societies. Do you think stuff like this comes...

Well, I took your advice and told her. I could tell you everything went fine. I would also be a lying scumbag. To say she was upset was an understatement. There were a good few tears and arguments before we setteld down. And now we've got it sorted, here's whats going down: I decided DV's...

So the general consensus is honesty... This is something I'll have to think about. I can't decide on the spot. So thank you to all who provided me with advice. If and when I make my mind up, I'll let you know and the outcome.

damn. And I wanted a sequel too! Have you played Hostile Waters?

"Honesty is the best policy" I know where you are coming from and I understand your point. I should be honest. But being honest about my beliefs and esentially cutting off another source of comfort for her seems a bit callous on my part. Thanks for the offer. I may take you up if I need to...

I feel a little foolish for posting here when no one else has for months, but I need some outside advice. I'd like an opinion. I am an atheist but I still go to church. The reason is my mother is ill and she thinks of church as a support. When I was younger, we all went to church and it was...

Could someone explain what possible world semantics is? I can't argue what I don't know.

come again? Or possibly just 'Weapon to Stop war' or some such. Given the game, I'd say "Minds saved onto sillicon chips to stop war". Antaeus Rising? Is that a sequel to Hostile Waters? If so, tell me where to find it!! Actually, my avatar is a schematic of the Antaeus. Right-click it...

This seems an odd topic, but you will not believe how hard it is find a free translator for latin on the web. so here is my question: What does Pugio In Averso Belli mean? It is a phrase used in Hostile Waters and I think it means 'Fighting to stop War' or something. Any help would be...

Holy moley, DV, 15.8 posts a day. You are a machine my friend.

To move back to free will (Since it sems to be cropping up in other threads too) I don't think many of us are on the same wavelength: God knows all, therefore he knows exactly what we are going to do. I used a train analogy earlier, so I will return to it. Imagine God building a railway...

I apologise for my lack of participation thus far. I never realised it had juped from 4 replies to 16 in a single night. I notice some people seem to have drifted from free will to evidence for God existing. Fragboy: 1) the building analogy doesn't really add up. As DV said, there are plenty...

I knew it was sarcasm. Don't worry about that Indeed, but as humans with curiosity, it is our duty to indulge our desire to know more. The OT is full of instances of ambiguous morality, God changing his mind (Which is odd, since he knows what will happen, why did he start his first choice?)...

We agree. The God you are referring to is omniscient. I ask you: How do we have tha ability to create our own rail? This I cannot understand; God foresees a set future. As I have already used the analogy of the 'pick a hand, any hand', allow me to expand on it: God knows what I am going to...

Byblos, I would consider it a personal favour if you could answer the questions I posed before. To reiterate: 1) Is God omniscient? (i.e. does he know everything, past, present and future?) 2) If the above is YES, then does God not know exactly what path we will take, now and in the future...

My apologies Byblos but that makes no sense given what we are dicussing. Pick a hand, any hand, although I know you will pick my left. And If you do pick the left, you're for it. You picked my left hand. Now you're for it. I'll give you a break. Pick my right this time and all is...

Thank you Kidan. That was a thought-provoking reply, but I still think it is flawed. If anything, it perhaps hints that God is not as altruistic as he appears. You are forgetting that God knows exactly which path I will take and the end result. Let me put it this way: You want someone to be...

Byblos, I do not want to attack you while you are down, so to speak, but given your past posts in this thread, I ask you these simple questions: 1) Is God omniscient? (i.e. does he know everything, past, present and future?) 2) If the above is YES, then does God not know exactly what path we...
