I should met men that claim to have the spirit?! How wouldnt you be deceived! You need to discover yourself and your senses!

@folaski how do you detect the spiritual realm? How?

@Malstorm

Good point, a religion must be compatible and form part and parcel of the culture, BUT the african indigenous religions are only available and appeal-able to Africans, not to the whole world. Are they to be denied the true religion?

@sweetnecta & @frosbel
can anyone at the other end of the globe, discover via reason the religions of Islam and Christianity? And with the destructive presence Christianity has had on our culture and people (slavery & racism), should the true religion be at peace with us and our history?

I think this is the most controversial religious topic. Yet it being paid lip service. No one lays focus on the truth value of their religion and superiority over others.

What should be the qualities of a true religion?

Must it claim the existence of the supernatural, or focus on human needs both physical and mental.

Is it found by faith or reason?

Does everyone have access to it, despite their geographical location and culture?

@op Zoroasterianism is older than judaism. Let me add mine; the chinese were black too! True story

Reality is self qualitative. ASSUMING without conceding God exists, just his existence would be a reality, if not what would his existence have been if not reality: fantasy?!

Transcendence is not within human experience, it takes so much faith to believe there is a world beyond that of the physical. And it need not exist by necessity. Transcendence is as controversial as the concept of God. No one knows what it is apart from not being physical

Are you denying mutation? How come you are different from your siblings despite receiving the same chromosomes from your parents?

@honoric
mutation do take place in all living organisms. the extent and nature of mutation is all evolution is about.

^^^ mr honoric

the problem with the design approach is ad infinitum. Complexity is explained away as an effect of a cause. But it comes to a point that as a result of the complexity of the cause it would require a higher cause. Such as God/Designer. Its attributes become too complex and thus requires a higher cause. So a simpler cause is the best solution without a designer capability.

This 'simple' cause offers an extension to everything that presently exists. As it wouldnt need to be designed or create something from nothing, it wouldnt be a creator.

Natural law is subsequently set by the interaction and compatibility of the characters of matter + energy

As to in.cest in the bible and biblical approval. The book had instructions to Adam, to populate the earth. Being aware that Adam, Eve and their kids were the only humans at that time. One can reasonably conclude that the writer of the bible had knowledge of this peculiar situation and consented to in.cest, since it was a NECESSITY to reproduce.

First, we would have to assume there is reality, that there is truth and the human mind is capable of grasping it. Reason breaks down, captures and conceptualises the truth, thus enabling one to further build on it (such as increase in knowledge).

While the law does not recognise the supernatural, since it concerns itself with the human society.

The bible supports i.ncest, whats ur defence?

^^ thats a point, freedom of speech is such a bitch. Imagine if it was a political message. Or just tackle them back

No use discussing God, since he does not exist in the eye of the reason, logic and the law

Didnt Cain and Abel have sex with their mothers and sisters?

The AG has discretionary powers to prosecute, so plea bargaining arises from that power.

As an agreement, it should be but if the court feels that its against public policy then it would not enforce it. That is if its unhealthy for criminal adm.

Religious ppl can be harsh! Wait for in faith for God and if you turn 70 without a child, they would say its God's plan.

If you are too afraid to adopt, then take advantage of the technology. At least it wouldnt work if God didnt plan it.

This is an issue of law not judicial administration. NJC dont go to their backyard to make judicial pronouncements

Maybe God has daddy issues

I feel the CJ ought not to have expressed such an opinion publicly. However the SC has not pronounced on it.

Yeah, a Christian finds it difficult to accept Adam was 90 feet but swallow a claim that he was 900 years old.

I think fear of the future is what keeps them away from rejecting religion.

Ppl preaching Christ and Ignorance together. Human knowledge threatens religion

That is what you wants to believe via hearsay. If he never wrote the koran himself, scribes must have done.

Umar burnt some korans why?

What?! Jesus resurrection was proof?! How?

Also prove how a whole cemetery was resurrected

Where is he?

Our dear geologist used the BIBLE to disprove a scientific theory. I'm disappointed.

@OP please mention a scientific theory which integrates a supernatural cause.

Who said something evolved out of nothing? Pls quote that source

Gay christians

The universe can only be an extension of its 'cause factor'
