Oxigen_Waste Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 As you know I'm a christian, so these answers is probably not anything you agree with, but anyway: 1: God has made everyone, but he didn't make anyone as gay, therefore it's not possible for it to come from birth. 2. God has made you too, my friend. You are far too complicated to have been made by an accident... or whatever you believes. 3. It is classified as fiction by non-believers. But have you ever thought of the possibility that they might be wrong? The Bible was written by men, but inspired by God. Therefore it is God's words. lol, at that last part... 1: How do you know he didn't make anyone as gay? 2: Actually no, I'm a fairly simple life form, with a very accurate bilogical history. 3: It is fiction. If something has no basis on reality or the laws of life, it's therefore fiction, by definition. Also, how do you know it's his word? How do you even know if he communicates?

Jonnas Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm assuming that, when Nasir says he doesn't support gay marriage, he means marriage by church. Social marriage and the such should still be accepted, right? It's still a bit nonsensical, though. I went to a (somewhat) religious school, and they never said anything regarding homosexuality. Even the only truly religious teacher I had (Religious, Moral and Catholic Education. A class we had to attend) wasn't against it. In genuine curiosity, where does it say in the bible "homossexuality shouldn't be allowed"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can communicate in many different ways. In dreams or in thoughts. I have had thoughts that have made all other thoughts fade away and therefore I have known that it was words by God spoken to me. He can also talk to people in other ways, I only used this as an example. That it would not have basis on reality are just your thoughts, and may I ask what exactly in the Bible would be against the laws of life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its against "his will" for us to turn to the devil, but he still gave people temptation! Your arguments are flawed and silly. Return with a decent comeback.

Chris the great Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 As far as I was aware they hadn't made a definitive link to a gene that meant you would be gay, they had only suggested that it was a possibility.Judging by the replies to Nasir I guess they've now confirmed 100% now though, so could someone link me to a credible site that documents exactly which gene indicates whether or not you are homosexual? I think it would be interesting to read about how they made this incredible breakthrough in science. im afraid i don't have a copy of the article, but i read about it in focus magazine, the BBC's science and technology magazine. it went on to mention that said gene has survived as it is linked to attractivness in girls. in essence, the gene makes the sisters of gay men pretty 1: Because it's against His will. 2: All humans are quite complicated, and the animals too. 3: I've heard Him speak to me, so of course He communicates, if I understood that question correct...

I've had many people talk to me in dreams, but that dosent mean it was comunication. the mind creates dreams, many religious belivers have dreamed of deitys talking to them. i seem to remeber an egyptian rising to power as he said the spynix promised it to him in a dream. what seperates the dreams of outhers from the dreams of christians. still, all this is besides the point, the paster was wrong to put such an offencive message outside his church, regardless of his views on it. i havnt seen any mosques calling christians pigs or jews monkeys on their bulitin boards, which, is apparently in the quoran.

Because homossexuality doesn't hurt anyone or bring about any wrong to the world, so God must be quite an evil dude, to deny people harmless pleasure without offering a logical reason. I mean, it's deductive logic, right? Gays are happy sleeping with each other and that's a victimless "crime", am I right? So, in forbiding people to be happy for no reason, he's being somewhat of a fascist, correct? 2: No we're not... we're pretty simple, didn't you study biology? 3: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I was talking to a sane person.

I will only answer this shortly... 3: But it depends really on the kind of dream. If you think about flowers when you go to sleep, then you might eventually dream about flowers, but if you seek an answer for something, also something you've prayed for, and in the dream God gives the answer, I hardly believes that's a coincidence... And yeah, I do agree that it was wrong putting up that sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you've never studied psychology, have you? The truth is, there is no god... nonetheless, if you believe in him, he becomes real to you. Gotta love the human mind. It's like male preagnancy.

Emasher Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 So you've never studied psychology, have you? The truth is, there is no god... nonetheless, if you believe in him, he becomes real to you. Gotta love the human mind. It's like male preagnancy. Actually you're almost right there. Though not 100%. Since God isn't a physical being like us. He doesn't physically exist. And most people who believe would say he lives in Heaven, right? And what is heaven? Every good experience, every happy moment, every good thing, ect. So, this should mean the God exists in all of that. Plus you're not really arguing very well. You're outright saying he doesn't exist. You haven't given any evidence you have against it. If this was an argument about anything else, I think people would be telling you to argue properly.

Therefore, a solution unknown to you could be conceived whilst you are asleep. 3: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I was talking to a sane person. Excuse me. Calm it, Kermit. You're winning the argument, so there's no need to resort to the infamous losers tactic of suggesting the other person is incapable of rational thought. You are far too complicated to have been made by an accident... or whatever you believes. Ah, a creationist! Fun!

If we are such simple beings, how is that we still do not understand everything about us. And by that I mean, physically. We still really don't know that much about the brain. If we were so simple, then why haven't we figured out the brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
