Joshthefirst: cause/kôz/A change of state had to be preceded. e.g what causes a block of ice to melt when left on a table? You'll notice that your answer doesn't require some sort of person doing anything. |
Ihedinobi: Ok, guys, we've muddied things up a lot so far. It was partly my fault because I couldn't keep up with the discussion as much as I should but I couldn't help that because of other stuff that cost me tremendous mental energy.Your attempt at a clarification does nothing to help because you're misusing the term "loaded question". It isn't a loaded question to ask if heterosexuals should have more rights than homosexuals because that would be the implication of only allowing heterosexuals to express their sexual preference by marriage. If you think it is a loaded question, then what is the assumption that you think is debatable? i.e you need to state the assumption, and explain why that assumption isn't acceptable. |
Deep Sight: . . . .Careful now. The problem is that by "cause", you generally mean that someone maybe spoke the universe into existence or imagined it into existence. Would say a change of state from something to the universe that didn't need some mind directing things count as a cause to you? |
Image123: might be a waste, i was born in sin. Why not focus on your discussion?I thought we were composing a song or something. I'm focused on the discussion. Would you like to talk about why God did the things listed in my OP? |
Image123: Would you believe me?Would you die for me? |
Image123: ?? ??Did I stutter? |
Joshthefirst: . . . .What have I done again? |
Image123: God is not a man, duh. You are, re-read the verse more attentively this time.God uses deceit and is bound by his words. Except when Image123 doesn't like the implications. You read the verses you want to quote more attentively. |
davidylan: The argument that homosexuals should not have rights to marry was one that was extremely difficult to swallow for a long time UNTIL i realized what the real problem truly was - many christians (especially those in the west) are finding it difficult to divorce their faith from politics. When faith starts to drive our views on public policy, we are bound to get into trouble.What? |
Ihedinobi: Lol. Thehomer, your dishonesty is showing. He clearly said "preference for heterosexuality".You should have read what he said. I'll quote it below and I hope you'll accept your own dishonesty or your failure of reading. okeyxyz: Ihedinobi: And who here has equated supporting homosexuality with supporting those acts?You equate them when you think one has to justify them when justifying homosexuality. If you don't think they have to be justified in order to justify homosexuality, then don't bring them into the argument. |
Ihedinobi: Why turn it around? You have said that the man who posed the question was silly. It is up to you now to answer why incesst, bestiality and paedophilia should not be acceptable along with homosexuality and heterosexuality. We have already granted that heterosexuals and homosexuals have equal rights.It is silly because it is irrelevant. What is under consideration is homosexual and heterosexual marriage. Allowing heterosexual marriage doesn't mean you have to allow incest, bestiality and what not so the same reason for allowing heterosexual marriage is just fine for allowing homosexual marriage. |
Ihedinobi: Oh yes, in fact, he did wonder that too. The relevance of that question is in the answer. Who has rights to marry and what gives them that right? Why can two gay men or lesbians marry and siblings who love each other not marry? Or should the latter also have the right to marry?How does allowing heterosexual marriage help this argument? After all, a brother and sister getting married is a heterosexual union. Why can't they marry since you're allowing heterosexual marriages? |
Joshthefirst: natural order is marriage leading to consummation leading to children. Our very natural physiology bear witness that homosexuality is extremely unnatural. Go ahead and wed them yourself if you have the power to do so.So a marriage that doesn't lead to consummation or one that doesn't lead to children is unnatural? I guess we now have to perform fertility tests on anyone who wishes to get married and stop any woman from getting married after menopause. You go ahead and stop them yourself if you have the power to do so. |
Ihedinobi: Homosexuality is hardly victimless. If it is perpetrated infinitely, the human species as a whole will go extinct. The species is the victim here.Well, that means driving cars is hardly victimless because if perpetrated infinitely, the human species as a whole will go extinct. Therefore the species is the victim here. Ihedinobi: I like okeyxyz's answer for bestiality. Animals can't charge you to court for plotting to kill them for or clothing or fun, but it is acceptable to kill them anyway. Why should their inability to complain make it unacceptable to use them for sexxual pleasure as well?What does this have to do with homosexuality? How does heterosexuality help an argument for or against bestiality? Ihedinobi: If you agree that incesst can be acceptable, you also agree that Piers was wrong to call the Christian discussant silly when he asked about the rights of siblings to marry each other.How does heterosexuality help an argument for or against incest? |
okeyxyz: I said you oppose a preference for heterosexuality. Perhaps you don't see properlyLooks like you don't know how to read your own words. You said: okeyxyz: okeyxyz: I only oppose homosexuality in the context of christian doctrine(of course for christians only), not a secular/legal opposition. My involvement in this thread is in pointing out the hypocrisy of the proponents of homosexuality. They love to argue that homosexuality is just as natural as heterosexuality, yet these same people want to suppress bestiality, necrophilia, pedophilia, in.cest, etc, not regarding that they are se.xual orientations just as naturally valid as they claim homosexuality to be. At least I am honest enough to categorize them together as se.xual phenomena/orientations. How about you??Do you want to support bestiality, necrophilia and paedophilia while supporting heterosexuality? If you do, please say so. If you don't support it, what makes you think that supporting homosexuality should mean a support of those acts? okeyxyz: Speaking of consent, why is it that when you guys copy western cultures and arguments you don't challenge their hypocrisy?? The same people who use consent as an reason to promote homosexuality, yet they condemn and criminalize polygamy even though it's perfectly consensual.You do realize that Christianity is also a foreign religion and it also condemns polygamy. Why don't you challenge your hypocrisy? Personally, I'm not interested in condemning polygamy as long as the complex issues are clarified. Secondly, some of the Western cultures that you're attacking do recognize polygamy so you need another tack. |
Ishilove: Yeah, gay people have the same rights as straight people EXCEPT the right to marry. That right will not be accepted here in Nigeria because it is a abominable perversion of the natural order of things.What is the "natural order"? Is it in the "natural order" for humans to live in space? Or underwater? |
okeyxyz:You must be seeing things. I clearly oppose heterosexuality? It looks to me like you're the one who is unable to defend their opinions that opposing homosexuality infringes on people's rights. If you're going to compare homosexuality to incest or anything else, you'll have to be willing to do the same for heterosexuality. That is my point. I can defend my support for the homosexual orientation in various ways starting from the fact that adults have their rights to the fact that it is between consenting adults. |
okeyxyz: So Homose.xuality, inc.est, bestiality, ped.ophilia, nec.rophilia are perfectly natural and acceptable se.xual behavior then?? Just like heterose.xuality? That's the argument I wanted you to make instead of giving homose.xuality special treatment. So, go ahead and make the case.That is not an argument I'm interested in making. Why do you give heterosexuality special treatment? |
Tupacx: The above quote was my response to 'atheist and demon' related discussion yesterday.Well do you still doubt this God's existence? Why can't we ask you to describe his looks? It was your dream and if you can describe it, it would be nice to hear. If the God you describe has an elephant head or something, we'll know who you think exists. |
okeyxyz: Please do explain to us. Why is homose.xuality an acceptable se.xuality and inc.est, bestiality and pedophilia is not. How is homos.exuality such a natural se.xual behaviour and the rest are not?? Do you mean to make the case that bestiality, inc.est, pedophilia are well within the control of the people experiencing these se.xual orientations and that it is a behavior they choose for themselves rather than a biology they find themselves to be made-up of??Why is heterosexuality acceptable but incest, bestiality and paedophilia aren't acceptable? |
Ihedinobi: Yesterday, Piers Morgan on CNN aired an earlier discussion he had with two Christians and a third guy that I think was gay and spoke for gay Christians. Piers asked one of the discussants in that recording whether he thought he as a straight man should have more rights than a homosexual man. This discussant whose name I forget now did not try to answer it directly, but Piers wasn't too pleased with that and demanded a direct answer. He then gave a direct answer: No. But he followed his answer with a question of his own. He asked Piers if he thought that two gay brothers should have the right to marry. Piers responded that he was being silly.It is indeed a silly question. The Christian feels that a straight man shouldn't have more rights than a gay man so what is the relevance of asking whether two gay brothers should have the right to marry? Do we wonder whether a brother and sister can get married while a man and a woman can get married? |
Image123: Proverbs 20:17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. NIV: 1 Kings 22:Looks like a bread of deceit is sweet to God too. I guess afterwards, his mouth shall be filled with gravel. |
Reyginus: Lol. Let me join you in this game. Here is the question again.Since you think the whole discussion is irrelevant, I see no point in continuing this with you. I started by pointing out several evil actions your God did. You decided that it was too much for you to handle so you split them up. I presented you with three passages and you were only able to address one of them. Ignoring more than 90% of my argument. I then proceeded to press you on whether the actions were moral or not. You couldn't answer. Instead, you began introducing irrelevancies like asking me whether I believed the Bible and bringing up irrelevant analogies. I then went on to ask you direct questions about the morality of the actions and you're whining about intent. If you felt intent was so important, you could have discovered the intent for yourself and used that to answer the question rather than asking me since I don't care about the intent for the actions I listed. Basically, these were the three questions that destroyed your attempts [size=16pt] 1. Is it moral to command a genocide? 2. Is it right to punish a child for the crimes of the parents? 3. Would it be moral to kill Charles Taylor's 5 month old grand son because Taylor himself commanded genocide?[/size] If you think there could be good intentions behind these things, you state the good intentions and answer the question. So far, you've presented irrelevant analogies, asked me irrelevant questions and finally tried to dismiss the arguments by crying. Your attempts have all failed so I'm done with you here. I wonder if anyone else will be willing to take up the challenge. I knew you would be unable to defend your God as you did. You failed at it while pretending to be an atheist and you've failed even worse as a Christian. Do yourself a favour and learn how to have a discussion about your God without fear. Good luck to you. You'll need it. |
FOLYKAZE: Thehomer, we are not progressing and I cant continue on this discussion without a good ground. Man gotta do some things than going in circle.I've progressed you're merely stuck in your rut. FOLYKAZE: - Racial Intelligence and Evolution is an insult to niggas. Dr James separate, Charles Darwin have his evolutionary racial say. Lot and lot many evolutionist got this racial say.....you were going in circle on a single shot without providing a renounce against racial discrimination. Do I have to jump from mt everest before you do?As usual, your confusion and ignorance doesn't help you. Racial discrimination is not the theory of evolution. Until you realize this basic fact, your confusion will remain. FOLYKAZE: - I have shown you Black African inventions. I dont know how stethoscope is an improvement. I dont know how typewritter is not an invention. You only want to deny what belongs to your race. We know colonial mentality effect. I have given you evidence of mathematics in ancient African and there Astrological findings.....Africans knew this thousand of years before modern space travel got into place. Yet you want to deny it.Black Africans didn't invent the typewriter or the stethoscope. Look it up. Wikipedia is your friend. All I see here is ignorance coupled with a feeling of insecurity that you're trying to shore up with bluster but it won't work. FOLYKAZE: - na evolution we dey go on circle on since. You called us Ape but cant give reason than nonsensical links. I dont know when content becomes a link..... Give us factual evidence and not link...you are refering me to a museum where only a single teeth was found and other frame were constructed. Is that what you called factual evidence?You and every other human who is alive are apes. Follow the links and you'll see reasons. I can't come to your house or wherever you are and inject the reasons into your brain. You don't want to visit museums, you don't want to read, how exactly are the facts supposed to get into your head? Good luck to you. |
Reyginus: If you like twist the argument to any angle you want it I will still not indulge in your distraction. So far you've failed to show me how a question of reason is asking of the intent.From irrelevance to irrelevance. I asked you a direct question and once more, you run. Here's the question again. [size=14pt]Is it moral to command a genocide?[/size] Try not to run from it again. Reyginus: Lol. See the hypocrisy all over the place. Initially I was ruthlessly not permitted to answer the question anyhow I like, but now that the answer expected has been shown to be irrational I am called upon to answer it anyhow I like, beginning with a yes or no.Stop crying and wishing that you didn't find yourself in this argument. You begged for this thread and I obliged you and opened it up. Now you're begging to run away? Stick to the matter at hand. Reyginus: Na so! You also failed to see that a punishment in this case is better understood as the effect of any wrong action.Yet another pointless analogy. Another attempt to run from a direct question. Here's the question again. [size=14pt]Is it right to punish a child for the actions of its parents?[/size] The question is simple and straightforward so I don't understand why you've gotten confused again. Reyginus: Lololol. What a very poor response.Aww. Now you're wishing you were my lecturer so you can produce more bad analogies? If you were my lecturer, you'd be fired for gross incompetence and general ignorance after your second lecture. Reyginus: Lol. Promising words but none was given meaning.Hey you said it nor me. I told you the problem with your analogy here but as expected, you've forgotten all about it. Soon you'll declare it yourself to be irrelevant. Dead like your Jesus? Reyginus: Lol. If I shift, stumble, stands up, fails, and tries to run again you should capture me, stagnate me, hold me and correct me, clear me with your boot.I've corrected you with my whip and my boot but you're quite recalcitrant. Reyginus: I warned you but you didn't listen.If you were serious, then you would have found the answer you were looking for. As I said, if you don't know, say you don't know. Just bear in mind the implication of whatever your answer is. Reyginus: C'mon! Dude, what's the repetition for? We are still questioning the conditions of the question. Once we are agreed on these conditions then you can repeat the question once more.The repetition is to emphasize that so far, you've not answered that direct question. Instead, you've introduced irrelevant side issues that you're having problems with and you wish to drag me in with you. I'm not interested in your irrelevant issues. If you are, address them yourself and use whatever you discover to answer the simple question I put to you. Here's the question again. [size=24pt]Would it be moral to kill Charles Taylor's 5 month old grand son because Taylor himself commanded genocide?[/size] Reyginus: Fail! fail! fail! Old trick! Maybe this is the thread's official mantra.Try something new. I'm tired of eating beef.You begged me for questions, I supplied them and you're crying about them. Reyginus: Lololol. No room for unnecessary tangents too. Okay. You are whipping me very hard, reduce the number of cords.I'll keep whipping you until you address the questions I've asked and you avoid your attempts at evasions. Don't forget the other parts of my OP that you've not addressed. And the other verses I cited with respect to genocide that have you trembling. |
Image123: As is your custom, you've made a baseless statement. Your morality is baseless.Your morality is based on evil. |
FOLYKAZE: Have you study the details and it explanation before asking this illogical question?So you want me to verify your own information for you? You must be confused and deluded. Just put down the formaldehyde you've been drinking and focus. FOLYKAZE: colonial boy....who think nothing good come out of Africa. We know your job....good seeing you in it.Ignorant boy who think all good things come from Africa. We know your job. And it is sad to see you deluding yourself in it. |
FOLYKAZE: Stop moving away from evolution and Racial intelligence.I'm simply pointing out facts to you. FOLYKAZE: You knew this and went ahead saying atheists mock it. You have told us which spiritualism concept atheist mock before rounding up.Atheists do mock it. I too also mock it. Pick your strain and I'll let you know more on why I mock it. FOLYKAZE: Yes. That is why they gave it a name.The ignorance is strong with this one. Naming a geographical feature doesn't magically grant you knowledge of its features. FOLYKAZE: Where did I say black is superior? Liar.Where did I say you did? Well we share ancestry so if mine had "monkey brain", yours did too. ![]() FOLYKAZE: Come up with something better next time.Why? Did the good thing I came up with this time stump you? |
FOLYKAZE: The contradiction here alone make me sick.So unless something is named, you don't think it exists? You're one confused person. You need to realize that there's a difference between a name and what the name refers to. Upright men are apes too. FOLYKAZE: Why are we not having evolved Apes? The civilized ones.Humans are also evolved apes so we already have them. Seriously. Take the time to read the Wikipedia article on apes. It will help reduce your confusion. |
FOLYKAZE: 1. The link is blank from here.View it on a pc. Well IQ is a psychological study and psychologists are the experts in that field. FOLYKAZE: How about DNA test?What about it? FOLYKAZE: Those that didn't agree should go ahead and prove him wrong with strong rebuttal. Words are cheap.It has been done. The rebuttals are in the article on IQ on Wikipedia you can read it yourself. FOLYKAZE: DNA experts which are in the same field with him renouncing James with factual evidence from experiment carried out. Words are cheap.DNA experts aren't the relevant experts when it comes to talking about IQ. FOLYKAZE: You saw how I listed the invention contents as asked. You asked for five and I gave five from ancient and modern each. Later added a book as reference......All the things you listed were wrong. Adding a poor book source doesn't make the information more accurate. It is a Wikipedia link like the one you directed me to. Just read it. FOLYKAZE: Fact because it documented. Not because it have factual evidence. Good good.The factual evidence is what was documented. That is why you need to read. If you have the time and resources, you can perform the experiments too. FOLYKAZE: Lol. So you called it old myth? Evolution is darwin proported lies. Where are the physical evidence?You can read about them or visit them in museums and labs. The choice is yours. FOLYKAZE: You are confusing yourself with this waves.We and other apes share a common ancestry. We evolved from that common ancestor which also looked like an ape. FOLYKAZE: Nope I do not.Well, now you know. Because they're not humans. FOLYKAZE: you are rumbling in a circle.You're wandering in an ellipse. |
FOLYKAZE: There are hundreds of inventions by Africans which do you receive patent at a basic time because US law then didn't regard them as human. So many works were adopted by the white masters and credit were given to the wrong person. Telephone is a good example.Still making rubbish up. I didn't leave them, I simply saw no need to mention everything you listed. None of the things you mentioned were invented by Africans, they were improved. But then, lots of people have improved lots of things and lots of people have invented lots of things so you wailing adds nothing at all. FOLYKAZE: The first CS operation was carried out in Africa. You didn't see the invention in Egypt right?Therefore Africa is the greatest and no one can do any better? FOLYKAZE: Apparately, they didn't call it Saturn. So get some books and read more detail about it or consult egyptologist. The fact is they detailed the solar system thousand of years before modern science.You get the books and tell me what they called it and whether it had rings. FOLYKAZE: The two AA did the dating. Credit of the metallurgical work there were credited to the people not the two AA.So they weren't Africans? I wonder why. FOLYKAZE: The Papyrus of Mosow show many calculations of various volumes, areas and surfaces with theories.But did this Ifa invent the modern computer? If not, why? FOLYKAZE: Black man know yourself. Read pls http://m.topix.com/forum/afam/TLBII6Q8QLK4FRNQTBlack man learn how to obtain verifiable information. FOLYKAZE: Because sorryass like you wont see something good out of Africa. You want already name from your masters....so when we have one, you standardize it with them and always make sure it not superb what they got.Blaming me for Africa's failures won't help you in any way. You're merely pushing your problems and tears further down the road. FOLYKAZE: They gave you toothpaste and brush but your ancestors discovered chewing stick which is biochemically better than toothpaste. This is simple medical work. All you got is flaw....chinese are modernizing there world. Enjoy your inferiority and flawly backwardness.Everybody had some implements they used to clean their teeth. I hope you only use chewing stick and don't visit dentists. Since the Chinese are doing their thing, why are you crying here? Why don't you gather your fellow Africans and start your own space station? Dullard. FOLYKAZE: I gave you a book. Visit a store and buy one or get it from Amazon.You gave me stories and half-truths. If that book simply contains more of that, I'll pass. You go and do the research and publish it in journals then we can talk. |
FOLYKAZE: I repeat.....you are nothing but a colonial boy.I repeat you're nothing more than a black ignoramus. Naming something doesn't mean you know a lot about it. Oral tradition also held that Oduduwa created the earth with a shell, a hen and some sand. You need something better than oral tradition. |
