The idea that a man with multiple wives must provide for them is not universal to polygynists. Some of them really do treat it like an ongoing adolescent fantasy, and the women (and girls) are often coerced by means of living in an isolated "community". "Excess" young men are expelled.

"Polygamy"--more than one spouse (at a time), REGARDLESS of genders. "Polygyny"--a type of polygamy with more than one female spouse (at a time), one male spouse (at a time). "Polyandry"--a type of polygamy with more than one male spouse (at a time), one female spouse (at a time). Polygamy can...

Governments become addicted to gambling more than does any individual gambler. They become addicted to the revenue and put it into their budgets. Then they get whiny if that "sure bet" starts to dry up, and to punish the people, they raise taxes.

I provided scientific evidence every bit as "scientific" and "elegant" as yours. The papers I cited appeared in respectable, peer-reviewed journals, cited in Medline/PubMed. You dismissed them merely because their conclusions did not agree with your prejudices. However, for some truly stupid...

You have told me everything I need to know about Hare Krishna. The only morality is "don't get caught".

And what of this rubbish pertains directly to the Qur'an? Or are you merely indulging in more Hare Krishna style OCD behavior? I used to think that hardcore Christian proselytizers could not be exceeded in obnoxiousness, irrelevance, or pointlessness. I have been proven wrong.

How does any of that drivel mean that the Bible is "clear on vegetarianism". From your behavior, I would almost be inclined to conclude that Hare Krishnas are dishonest, combative, and obsessive to the point of potential mental illness.

Among the Hare Krishna, if one is able to use deception to get a karmi to perform a service for Krishna, does that aid in their spiritual advancement, thus rendering the act of deception to be acceptable? That is, in blunt terms, is it acceptable to lie to outsiders so long as it advances the...

Is it wrong to spend money stupidly? That's the same question, after all. If being stupid is immoral, then a lottery is immoral. If it is not immoral to merely be stupid, then there is no immorality inherent in playing the lottery.

Fair enough, now where is your evidence that all Evangelical Christians are and must be part of "Christian Reconstruction"? After all, that is the bigotry that your choice of language blatantly wallows in.

Your surrender is accepted.

In ancient Babylon, fingerprints were used as identifying marks for business transactions more than 2,500 years befor the Qur'an. About 2,400 years before the Qur'an, fingerprints were used to identify criminals in Mesopotamia. 400 years before the Qur'an, Chinese officials took fingerprints...

How does one define "Jew"? That answers your question. 1: Adherent to some form of the religion typically known as "Judaism".--atheistic jew is impossible. 2: Descendent of tribes or nations historically associated with the culture that normatively includes or included the religion typically...

Oddly enough, history has shown us that not practicing religion also goes along with people being asshats. Instead of doing it in the name of "God", atrocities are committed in the name of "Reason", "the Revolution", "the People", etc.

Give book, chapter, and verse for your claim that "Scripture" has the "keep your enemies closer" statement. You have been shown out to be a bald-faced liar. That's all there is to it.

Where in the Quran does it require permission to use modern technology? Where in the Bhagavad Gita does it give permission to use modern technology? Hare Krishnas must either abandon their religion or STOP USING COMPUTERS!!!!! Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

They are not so much "Roman" as "Latin". The "Roman" people were actually a fusion of two cultures by the time of Christ. The west was dominated by the Latin portion of the fusion while the east was dominated by the Greek. The Latin portion was always notably more violent and legalistic than...

The OSB is nice, but its current virtue is being the only one on the market. There is another project currently active, as well: EOB - The Eastern / Greek Orthodox Bible based on the Septuagint (LXX) and Patriarchal Text Unlike the OSB the EOB uses the accepted Orthodox text as its basis...

Give book, chapter, and verse on that. Of course, since it's not in Scripture, you're just exposing yourself as a liar, once again, as usual.

Where in the Quran does it require permission to use technology and modern facilities. Where in the Bhagavad Gita does it mention "computers" specifically by name and give permission to use them?
