How many have you helped torch? Or, are you trying to incite someone else to do it for you ?

Are you having trouble with the truth? I only report what I see.

Some of those people who attend that mega church are nice people. They live right below me. We agree to disagree on what is and isn't a myth. I'm glad that they don't stone me when they asked me to help with some of their renovations on a Sunday. Of course that is after they attended church.

You report what you think. That isn't necessarily truth.

Why would a Christian think they can't work on a Sunday?

So no concern for the fire fighters or people on the road between the hall and the clinic?

It's sad that, as a moderator, you are either incapable or unwilling to read and understand the argument.
Here what you said today:

I invite my congregants to question me if they have a question or think I'm wrong.


Having said that, on this very thread we have all agreed that there is no universal system of morality that is human in origin. So...by that very definition, in order to be able to declare something as "moral", or "immoral"...we cannot use human definitions. So...in order for morality to exist....it HAS TO BE of supernatural origin.

If you are able to counter that argument, have at it. I haven't seen any sound arguments.
You said it. "in order for morality to exist....it HAS TO BE of supernatural origin." Being a minister in a Christian church makes assuming your reference to "supernatural" mean God is a perfectly reasonable assumption.

BTW, I'm capable of reading and understanding a lot more than you think I can. Being a moderator has no impact on my ability to comprehend Internet forum posts.

I have never suggested that atheists cannot be moral. You realize that, right?

But, I have no criminal record, and I would not burn down the clinic or the sex shop. I still understand if somebody else did it , like this gentleman, and yes, I would be glad they did it.
But, you just said....

It never fails to amaze me how obsessively hung up so many Christians are about a perfectly natural thing like sex.....If you don't like porn, then stop watching it.....

Slash and burn tactics to impose their version of morality.

Also used by the Klan.
