Horse crap. God's word doesn't even begin to cover "all wrongs" until priest, rabbis, imans, and minsters interpret what they like while ignoring what they don't in order to cover the situation, if they so choose to.
We can, of course, question how one knows it is God's Word.

Well the Bible says so, after careful editing of course.

One does not. Christians believe it is; that's their business. The rest of you can mind your own business.

Though you won't.

Is there a question here? I would truly like to answer without "deflection" but all you've done here is present your personal opinion.
Deflection.


Quote:
Personally, I don't find any deep dark mystery concerning the important truths of God's law or God's clearly revealed nature.
Then I praise an intellect so far superior to the likes of Thomas Aquinas, Augustine of Hippo, or Martin Luther.

Nonetheless more deflection.

Accuse? I think that even the most casual reader would find against you.

You see Konraden, Christians have a monopoly on these gods.

Why should we? We're not the ones claiming that the sexual behaviors of consenting adults is abhorrent and deserves to be banned, fixed, or otherwise shoved outside of the public eye and never referenced or taught about in the public school system.

Neither are Christians.

You mean the no-true Scotsman fallacy fallacy? No, I leave that 'argument' to those less fortunate.

By all Christians- if they are asked. This wanton way of antichrists of arrogantly including their own sort among Christians is pretty self-indicting.

Pretty sure you say Christians condemn homosexuality. And then, you say...

That's called a contradiction.

Quote:
[homosexuality] has been taboo, and a revulsive concept, in almost all societies, until very recently. And I'm not at all sure that buggery is not a revulsive concept to everyone today, if they are honest. Homosexuals not infrequently admit that they despise themselves after the act, but get over it in time for the next one.
Baseless statement followed by baseless statement. (emphasis mine) Do you frequently do this, Shibata?

Christian Theology, hello? Jesus dies for the sins of Adam and Eve, which all of mankind inherited. That is the entire religion.


Quote:
It does not seem to me that skeptics have much of a case against Christian values on sexual matters, which they often seem to be obsessed by.
Perhaps because ones own sexuality is a non-issue, except Christians seem to make it one.

Quote:
The prohibition of bearing false witness is one 'law' that they seldom mention as a Christian one. Now why do you think that may be?
That's called a Red Herring, and false witness is a Jewish law, not a Christian one, unless, of course, you're including all 600+ commandments. I doubt you are. Of course, lying was also found in the Code of Hammurabi, which you probably already know predates Judaism.
