Hey guys, thanks for the category change as well. I think “Skeptics” is likely the best description of us. Kudos!

Marty,Here's the problem with your scenario. When humans break human laws — and get caught — they are arrested and go to court. If they are found guilty, they are sentenced in some manner. All of this is carried out publicly, and the consequences are easy to see. However, with your god, the consequences are at best imagined because no one has…[Read more]

bodhitharta,Does modern Islam call the bible corrupt, or has it always made this claim? And why are both religions — Christianity and Islam — so dependent on ancient texts to guide them if their god is truly living and able to reveal something to modern man?It is troubling to skeptics that the Abrahamic god (or any other for that matter) is…[Read more]

Thanks. I appreciate the responsiveness to this.

Why not just called it “Skeptics Place” then? Otherwise, you should rename “Believer's Place” to “Believers vs Believers”. I say this because I have seen many posts in that section that have been every bit as heated and confrontational as those found in the section that Stu and I can post in.

Well, “General” — which it was at one point — was sufficient IMHO. I understand what you were trying to convey, but I personally think that labeling the section as “vs Believers” means that section is meant to be confrontational. Perhaps it is more often than not, but labeling it as such is a negative thing, I think.I cannot speak for Stu (or…[Read more]

I don't have an issue with the “non-believers” part. Its the “vs” part that I think is wrong. Are you going to change the various Believers sections to “Baptists vs Catholics”, etc.?

t8,Little bit of advice (take it or leave it): if a video only rates 1.5 stars, it is likely because it is laughably ridiculous.

Quote (t8 @ Oct. 09 2009,09:22)I disagree because having Mohammed in charge means probably going to war to do it.Having Jesus in charge means that you follow his teachings. Of course he said that we shouldn't kill, or fight against flesh and blood.So having Jesus in charge is really a matter of letting him be lord of your life and let him rule. It…[Read more]

There are many laws on the books that are a joke, and never enforced. Your point?

^^ Satan is just the guy who carries out Jehovah's dirty work. See Job for references.

My answer is “no” to the OP and your last post. Assault is assault, regardless of the motivation.
