QUOTE(evolskniwt @ Jan 7 2010, 04:42 AM) Haha titchy simply means small. You don't see how the nature of emotions and feelings would affect your actions made in reaction to them? Have you ever made a loving gesture because of that little tug in your heart when you look at someone you love (im using love in the broadest sense, parental, friendship, erotic)? Why on earth should you do that if that little 'tug in your...

Sex crimes are not found in only one or two churches. Wherever religious leaders gain strong power over the lives of their followers by claiming to be appointed by god, or because they claim to be privileged by special revelations from "God", it seems that the temptation to use their privileged position to gain sexual favours becomes strong. We could almost say that sex crimes are part and parcel of the religious experience....

QUOTE(One_of_us @ Jan 7 2010, 01:47 AM) If you think my whole life is 'titchy' I can't argue about, because I have not the faintest idea what "titchy" is. But none of your questions affects my whole life. I don't see why my feelings, emotions should be affected by what I think the nature of emotions, feelings are. You have some interesting ideas, like executing contracts for friendship. I...

QUOTE(evolskniwt @ Jan 5 2010, 05:59 AM) Nonsense. There is nothing bad about discussing religion. But I'm positing now that there's nothing wrong with TALKING. Stop confusing the two things. I'm not saying everyone MUST talk. I'm saying its not wrong TO talk. Gosh. WHY is it bad for a 'good neighbour' to discuss religion? is it bad for a good neighbour to discuss food? Or taste in music? Or...

QUOTE(One_of_us @ Jan 5 2010, 02:25 AM) This is hard for me to believe. Where have you seen agnostics so worked up over discussions about religion? (I don't even think a person like you would hang around a group of agnostics long enough to understand what they are arguing about). Tsk tsk... once again you make assumptions. I am really beginning to wonder if you are truly an agnostic with all these assumptions that you...

QUOTE(One_of_us @ Dec 22 2009, 04:28 AM) I can however add that I also found in the church people the willingness to discuss and expand knowledge beyond what is simply taught as truth (this is after all their mission), and had many conversations where believers have been willing to sit down to discuss what the Church teaches and why it takes the stances it has. It all was fine while I listened and asked questions. But when I...

the verse on the gates of hell not prevailing against the church should be interpreted as the church attacking helll and its gates cant hold up. for some reason many christians have interpreted that to be, hell attacking and the church is defending. whoever heard of a kingdom attacking another kingdom with gates?!
