Not until the eighteenth century do we see a fundamental break between reason and religion. In the new rationalistic climate of the Enlightenment philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued that rationality and religion were two separate domains that must be kept apart. Nonsense again.

Again the Book of Proverbs points in this direction when it exclaims: "It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out" (Prov 25:2).

This approach leaves us entirely unable to communicate with the modern world. This also dishonors God by refusing to use the minds and the knowledge He has given us. Assuming that faith is not rationally explainable or justifiable, you end up with a compartmentalized mind. Thus your faith does not connect with anything outside it. This movement has had a strong effect on evangelical churches. Remember that the term "leap of faith" comes from an existentialist philosopher (Kierkegaard), not the Bible; and "ya gotta believe" is the motto Peter Pan, not Jesus.

What, "God's words and workings is beyond the logical reasoning of the greatest human being". Nonsense. I call this anti-intellectualism.

As for me, they don't look half human

It cannot feel pain. We can say that too of person with certain types of disabilities or after an accident. We never understood when something becomes a person. Even the early signs of pregnancy we still can talk of human development. My opinion is that one should concentrate on the development of the brain, but we are far away from knowing when that really starts. I feel that abortion should be restricted to cases of serious medical problems rather than, one can do that whenever one wants, within 10 weeks or something.

I agree with her. I have my doubt sometimes

That's what I thought upon reading all this

I agree with yankee

We all are bible scholars here

That's not what my boss thinks.

Remember the EU is threating to withdraw all relations with Uganda because Uganda is using DDT to reduce the deaths, because that's the only thing they can afford. Because of the withdrawal 9 million children more will diew each year in Uganda.

People talking about social vices. I see all kinds of things in church. Some atheists are better

What a lot of nonsense. The reformation got it wrong.

What a lot of nonsense. What about judgement, one has to pay for all sins committed.

Two is ok

Some of them do know

Crime rate similar to South Africa Johannesburg

yes houses very small. Cambridge is nice.

Lot of people are like that. But it's not limited to christians only. You see that kind of attitudes all the time. Prejudice and ignorance are the worst people can possess. Good does get out of that too though. If we go on we can say that much good is done by non-religous persons too.

I read what your situation was concerning that. One must choose. I firmly believe that your life partner takes precedence in such situation.

We cannot define scientifically what philosophically we call a person. For me ever though the baby is considered a person, if the woman most probably will die, a decision has to be made. A tough decision there. The right thing to do. Sometimes it is not easy to know what that is. Fully agree with you on that aspect.

I will pose a problem that will make a surgeon close his eyes

One thing I am very sure of, she loves you a lot

You continue like this and I will start to cry

What don't you understand

Did not understand that one lexy.

Buy a dog. Is better

The truth is beyond us. The most interesting experiment in physics is the interference of single electrons in a Young's double slit, and its ability to change thinking and behaviour. You'll never think the same way about light. It can be proven scientifically (Quantum Mechanics) that everything comes from nothing. So no people can argue the statement is false.

She better run after that, I tell you. Beware the fury of a patient man. Moses parted the sea, I will do worst that that.
