This is a segment from Bill Maher's show in which he took a stance that liberals are being politically correct about Islam rather than acknowledging that the majority of Muslims believe in the most radical parts of their faith. Affleck responding by calling Maher a racist for condemning an...

For Monotheists, it does seem as though they view all of this as a theological evolution from multiple Gods in the past to One God today. And with the old definition of evolution where one started with a primitive theology and advanced over time to a more refined theology. My perception is that...

If you are referring to the world of reality, you are right. I live in a sad world. There is not but one reality. Do you think Thomas, or Wil, or I live in the same reality you do? Or that we each live in the reality of each other? Reality is perception, and perception is individual to each of...

Your namesake is one of my favorite Egyptian 'Kings'! As for perfect. Nah. Not me. Tried it. Too dull. Though it should be pointed out that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong. Welcome.

The Final Solution is genocide of a particular group. It first came into popular use in World War II when it was called The Final Solution to the Jewish Question. Nazi Germany's answer was to exterminate all the Jews.

Love is always based on desire and satisfaction of the desire. Nobody loves for the sake of love. Gee, Shib I hope you don't really believe that. How extraordinarily sad a world you must live in if you do believe that.

I understand. And agree. Guess my statement is that moral values are not being put aside. Rather they are being used to justify the disastrously unworkable situation that exists right now.

Bit of a conspiracy nut, are we?

Faith does not go along with Reason as faith is called for when there is no evidence. Quite so. Which is why beliefs of faith should never be considered absolutes. Anyone willing to be honest about their faith should be able to acknowledge the possibility that they could be wrong.

Thomas, from my perspective you are reading into Jane's comments a great deal that is not there. I hardly think her comments suggest a Final Solution scenario. Hopefully Jane will consider responding to you and we will have a better idea of where she is coming from. From my personal pov, Jane...

Why do I have an issue with certain religious folk forcing the rest of us to observe their beliefs in public. Because when in public one can not and should not expect one's individual beliefs to trump everyone else's beliefs. I am baffled why that simple statement is so hard for some people to...

Well, that answer is no worse than the concept that society is attempting to banish religion from public view.

Thomas said "There is no data to suggest the universe is conscious, so the idea that the universe is 'experiencing itself through me' Where does that come from?" Like all religious doctrine it was made up by people who are want answers where no genuine answers are possible. Bummer. But there...

One must remember that cats were once gods in ancient Egypt. And they have never forgotten it. Hence their attitude. As far as insanity goes. I cling to the notion that states that as long as one can wonder if one is insane, one isn't!

Uh. There is an effort to banish religion from public view????? Not from where I am sitting.

Are Pro-Life Christians ready to step-up and be like the first century Christians . . . and volunteer to raise the result of every unwanted pregnancy in (Christian) America, if every pregnant woman can be convinced to bring their fetus to full term? If they were genuinely concerned about being...

Thomas said "OK. Anyone got any references where the Bible proposes abortion?" Last time I visited this page the topic was that the Bible does not support a pro-life position. How did that morph into the concept that the Bible proposes abortion! Whether one agrees with Jane's position or not...

Tea said "That's just provocative rhetoric from your part, you both enter this topic from two ends of an extreme. When you, GK and Nick sit together and discuss religion you always end up where it's all Traditions fault and re-enforce the opinions of each other. Dan here comes in with his...

In my book it is a psychological disorder. What these girls have to do to their bodies to get this completely inhuman shape is very bad for their health, very expensive for the surgeries as well as the cosmetic surgeries. Plus the problems with their organs, having corseted their waists to this...

Dan said: There are things you can do to influence your emotions, but they can't be controlled in the sense that one's actions can be controlled. Of course one can control one's emotions. Anyone telling you otherwise has something they want to sell you! We all have emotions and we all have...
