Yes Ioannes I would agree, and I think its important to get ones facts straight so that when engaging in these sorts of conversations people can actually take one seriously. These websites can certainly do more harm than good as a gross misrepresent…

I had a quick browse and here's what I thought of these two pages: Home: At the end of every analogy you end with 'this does not solve your problem of having sinned against (the christian) God and the reality of Hell.' This just doesn't make sens…

LOL I was quoting Remnkemi's post (#67), I would never make that mistake ^_^
-
I'm just going to address this real quick: Remnkemi, the reason why i didn't respond to you is because you very often misrepresent my position and insist that you haven't. I'm gong to respond with a clarification just this once, an…

Imikhail, good question, I don't have the answer but I think its something you may be able to further research. I figure, that if we're still asking questions and come to a decisive answer anyway, then we are at fault at using faulty…

Michael, what do you mean by define God with science? and Fathom God with our senses? ~Gabe

Hey Timothym, I really appreciate where you're coming from because this is something that use to justify my belief as a Christian on some level also, however it doesn't anymore. The argument that "Unity and order never com…
-
Imikhail, I was trying to make the point that I do have a standard of what i consider believable, that I don't arbitrarily dismiss evidence because it could potentially challenge my position as a non-believer. You're correct, I have …
-
Rmnkemi, I don't see our discussion going anywhere or any further, mainly because you have it all wrong. First and foremost, you are in no position to assert what will and what won't convince me that God exists (although I agree wit…

Hey ReturnOrthodoxy, hahaha will definitely get my hands on that book, a few of my friends have offered to lend it to me so I'll be sure to get it off one of them as soon as I can. You're about the second person w…

Hi ReturnOrthodoxy, please remember that the response I gave you was a summery of about two or three years, so of course I tried to be as exhaustive as I could at the time. I do have a lot to learn, and on some l…

Remenkemi, I never said I was attending those places of worship, it was an analogy that I used to demonstrate your flawed reasoning. Which still stands. There is a difference between education and curiosity. I am educating my…

Hey RO, thank you for the question. Sure, my statement was void of the actual reasons as to why I am not convinced, so I'll share a couple of them with you. When I use to attend church and pray regularly I had moments where I would 'fee…
-
I don't believe in God because I'm no longer convinced that He exists, not because 'the belief seems like rubbish' and not because 'I never saw the need to believe in God or because the church is made up of 'fallen human beings' which I can't reconc…
-
Pretty interesting discussion going on here, I'm just going to chime in for a second. Remnkemi, I don't think its fair that you can jump to the conclusion that I or anyone else has an ulterior motive just because you have a "hard time seeing why o…

Minatasgeel, 'the God Christ' is the handle of one of the members I was referring to on this thread. Thank you for your understanding. Yes I think historians by consensus agree that Jesus was a person that existed 2000 or so years ago. The disputes …

Hey guys, I really appreciate your comments and questions as well as the pleasant welcomes. Peter A: A couple of reasons, I do enjoy studying religion and I did mention something about education, I think it can provide an avenue in…

"The highlighted portion of your post is incorrect. The majority can come to the same decision without any appeal to religion but using common sense and morality. The reason gay marriage is not protected is because it isn't a civil liberty." I was…

"Of course not! Why can I use the Holy Book, while they can't use their holey book (pun intended)? Great so its fair to use a Holy Book if someone else is, agreed. "That is assuming that the Constitution protects my civil liberties. What do I ha…

Andrew, no I'm not upset about prop 8 (that is, its not emotionally affecting me at this point in time) at least if you mean if thats the driving force behind being vocal about certain things, then not really. Look, I agree that people…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=12498.msg146714#msg146714 date=1319673555] I checked out the link you provided. . .you really believe those posters represent how a typical Orthodox Christian responds? Half of the posters were kids. [/quote] No, I…

[quote author=aiernovi link=topic=12498.msg146702#msg146702 date=1319662106] [quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=12498.msg146685#msg146685 date=1319648131] Cy86, that doesn't seem to be a contradiction at all to me. Refraining from imposing th…

"Anyone who calls himself a homosexual is a sinner and is not worthy of the eternal Kingdom." "But I will say that I think these podcasts are a way for him to deal with the real agenda he tried to bring forth in the past but couldn't; homosexuality…

Hey Guys, wondering if i can chime in... aiernovi, you said that "We shouldn't impose our truth on everyone.." later in your post you wrote that " we should support laws that support the Laws of God and oppose laws that oppose them". …
-
What viewpoints are you referring to? And how do you know that the speakers (and there have only been two) agree 'wholeheartedly' with them?
-
TheGodChrist, going to chime in briefly "...My rhetoric is not really directed towards you per se', but rather at the fact that these viewpoints are coming out of your group" The only relationship Albert has with ConcernedCopt…

Hey, "We are not trying to summarize your podcast" hence the suggestion of the time reference. "There is a recurring theme in many of your posts..." completely irrelevant to this thread. If you want to discuss this episode of …

Hi guys, gonna be brief. TheGodChrist and dzheremi, both of you have done a very poor job representing what was said in the podcast. If you want to discuss a particular point that was made then reference the time…

"I did not say you are Satan. " I know, I was kidding. Κηφᾶς & jydeacon, Well so far this has been my experience, I have been hoping that people would begin to speak with a little more intelligence and open mindedness or at least …
