hopefulLandlord:Let's assume you are arguing with a fellow atheist who sees nothing wrong with bestiality. How would you convince him or her about your stance? I'm curious. |

youngestland: Like bestiality and incest youngest land , bestiality is legal in Hungary ,if you should catch your son performing sexual acts with animals will you reprimand him? Or tell him to go ahead ? Let's assume both of you are Hungarians residing in Hungary 2 Likes 1 Share |

hopefulLandlord: Dont get it twisted. The reason why I slowed down a bit was for your sake since you find it hard to quickly grasp stuff. If you say Child marriage is wrong. What is Immorality? Get the definition and then connect that to Sexual Immorality as spoken of in Galatians 5: 19 to 21. When you are done assimilating it then would my earlier reponse and the earlier response of kilo4sure make sense to you. |

damogul: Gal 5: 19-21 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. Oga, if you've got nothing to say, kindly shut up What the bible regards as sexual immorality are ADULTERY and FORNICATION Orgies there fall into one of these categories So how does it affect me if I marry a 12 year old and have sex with her? It doesn't fall into fornication or adultery Make up your mind and stop moving like a dry leaf on water First it was "Christ in you" now you're quoting bible, which one is it? 5 Likes |

hopefulLandlord:Is there a problem sire? Or you do not understand what l meant. If God is the Good as Christians claim, then good is the ultimate. Morality becomes objective, morality is objective because of God not necessarily because of the commands of the old testament which you atheists love so much. For you atheists, you can be the most moral beings on earth but you cannot explain to your fellow immoral atheists in all cases why your stance is the more rational one. |

hopefulLandlord: Iwhen I called you dense you took offence. I wonder why you always rush to speak without understanding anything whatsoever. I asked you to tell me your own opinion of the topic and u said it was wrong. And I asked you to look up immorality and its meaning and then pit sexual next to it for a clearer understanding. And in your usual manner you blurt out what you have not even looked up and again show you lack knowledge of what you criticise. Let me help you im·mo·ral·i·ty ˌiməˈralədē/ noun the state or quality of being immoral; wickedness. "he believed his father had been punished by God for his immorality" synonyms: wickedness, immoral behavior, badness, evil, vileness, corruption, dishonesty, dishonorableness; sinfulness, ungodliness, unchastity, sin, depravity, villainy, vice, degeneracy, debauchery, dissolution, perversion, lewdness, obscenity, wantonness, promiscuity; informalshadiness, crookedness; formalturpitude "he charged that the overseas press was prone to lies and immorality" Synonyms of immorality are BADNESS, EVIL, VICE, OBSCENITY AND SO ON. You said child marriage is wrong right? So is Badness right? Is evil right? Is vice right? Is Obscenity right? You never ever understand anything before you speak even when I tried explaining it to you as I would a child. Are you sure you are alright?

JackBizzle: JackBizzle . I'm nettled at your abysmal reasoning here . I said societal laws should be followed by Christians if they are congruous with God's laws . When something is congruous with another , they are in harmony or in agreement . That means Christians should deprecate laws that that approve or legalize depravities like homosexuality and bestiality . To be pellucid and laconic about this , if societal laws approve of child marriage Christians are not expected to obey it ,and if the societal law restricts marriage to 18 years and above then Christians should obey it . If guys don't understand me , ask me to explain my point or opinion about the subject being treated instead of deriding yourselves in ignorance - risible though Thanks 1 Like 1 Share |

JackBizzle: Powerful knockout ? Where ? Stop being delusional abeg . Here is my explanation of pedophilia Pedophilia is sexual perversion and can also be seen under fornication or sexual immorality . It is unnatural to lust after a child . Eww ! 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Child marriage wrong because the child is immature . It is usually done out of lust and the child is forced against her will or inveigled to commit to a man . Being married to a child is ungodly and can be seen as another form of pedophilia . Lust is wrong . Persuasion using deceit -inveigling - is wrong . And the fact she is being coerced to do so means it is wrong Jude 1:7 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Being married to a child or having sex with a child can be seen as an unnatural desire and that is perversion - so its wrong. |

I'm sure you didn't, so this post of yours is as useful as lifebuoy in my room Mind you, there are things considered " good" or at least "not wrong" by society which my conscience still wouldn't allow so don't group anything I say my conscience doesn't allow as "evil" or "wrong" generally speaking, that's just another form of intellectual dishonesty Another long post with no substance You're sounding more and more like you lack basic understanding 4 Likes |

hopefulLandlord: Lol, this your question amuses me. pedophilia is a form of sexual perversion and we all know it's not right. There are several verses in the Bible condemning all forms of sexual perversion. For the issue of child marriage, it's only a pedophilia that will consider getting married to small child. |

JackBizzle:Na wa o, but this is quite simple na. Those in ancient times were probably more ignorant of the devastating effect child marriage had on the body. With more knowledge we know in our time, a child of 14 does not have her body fully developed, hence our societal law sets the bar at 18. This law is congrous with the biblical ethics that our body is the temple of the Holyspirit , hence we must do everything to protect the young female body, since you want Biblical law, is this not good enough? Must it be Thou shall not marry a child? Lol, atheists nor go kill me yo. 1 Like 1 Share |

KingEbukaNaija: My morality as a human being and a humanist is based on logic/reasoning. Some logic and facts for Mr. Ebuka 1) "legal" does not mean "right". It is very legal for me to insult you and your family on the street to provoke you and then, shoot you if you get close to me in confrontation. Self Defense. 2) My stance against beastiality is based on the reasoning behind the concept of "consent". It is logical 3) You can not hold a group of atheists to any moral standard. They are varied and have no unifying belief other than a lack of belief in God. 4) Hence (from no.3) questions of morality should be directed towards secular humanists 6 Likes |

damogul: You still haven't picked up your understanding from where you left it I find it wrong because my conscience finds it wrong If my conscience finds it right and society allows it, then I'll do it Since you claim bible is the source of your own morality, why do you find it wrong? Is it because hopefullandlord finds it wrong, if you find it wrong, why? Sexual immorality in the bible simply refers to adultery and fornication, it stated both MANY times in that book; if I marry a 12 year old and have sex with her, I'm not guilty of any of this If the society you're in doesn't regard it as "immorality" on what basis does it now become immorality to you using your source of morality (the bible)? You've already answered this question as sincerely as you could earlier by saying it's a personal thing and Christ in you, but since you've not been accepting such "personal" answers from atheists, your hypocrisy was brought forward which led to these long discussions Do not bring this circular and senseless arguments of yours down here Your rigmarole is getting longer and longer without saying anything 3 Likes |

That's how I said Christians should obey societal laws if they are congruous with God's laws and an atheist's illation was that I meant societal laws should determine what's right or wrong not holy books.

When atheists appeal to their conscience to condemn something, l get confused. what is conscience by the way? Isn't the atheist conscience just the firing of molecules from the brain in random directions? These could easily lead to delusion. The Christians believe conscience is a God given gift, the writing of God's laws in our hearts, so they can appeal to their conscience. Why should l respect the atheists' conscience when it is nothing but a chemical reaction? |

kilo4sure: According to the atheists , nothing is good or evil . So I wonder why they think child marriage is evil . They subscribe to subjective morality - that means something being right or wrong is arbitrary . That also means an atheist can marry a 12 year old child simply because the societal law assents to such or if he wants to or think it is right . |
