@prologos-Time will tell. One thing time has told us, each generation progressively gets worse. And this generation is one of the the most, if not the most, perverted in history. So if then by some remote chance the "book of bible stories" you mock is accurate, there will be a heavy price to pay. -

\Mmaub, Given the improbability of wt-described judgements, I imho stick to the proven deist idea, that the issues discussed above, will be sorted out by the working out of natural laws which govern the universe. who is to say that a segment of the population endowed with great talent will not benefit a society by not being burdened with all the accoutrements of procreation? -while also not being deprived of the pleasure of fulfilling their hormone driven desires?
Don't mind me, knock yourself out. -

@outlaw-Your going to have to try harder than searching Google photos to copy and paste your replies. Just because someone is aware that there is data about rape, murder and any other atrocity doesn't mean that they enjoy or engage in it. Usually, quite the contrary. It proves the "no limits" of depravity that mankind is capable of. The FBI and other police agencies have to view these things and rescue many. My hats off to them, I personally couldn't handle the level of sickness they have to endure. -

@Steve2
From my readings and studies of present and ancient religions I am siding with, Jehovah, Jah, Yahweh, whichever way anyone chooses to pronounce it, and his decrees.

That's something which high-control religious groups. Is they take away a citizen's human rights, which they are supposed to enjoy.
And just where do you propose those lines of demarcation, or citizens rights as you describe them, end and begin? -

Makeme, you will have to forgive me for this observation: Your arguments are appalling - and betray evidence of not being a very considered thinker. I cannot believe anyone would write "who has the rights to set the rules or line of demarcation. People or a creator?" WTF??
If we were to be guided by a "creator", especially the one who dominated societies responsbile for the so-called Holy Scriptures, we'd find all sorts of severe punishments for slaves and women, among others, and very clear cut directions on how to "deal to" people's occupying the Promised Land.
It is an absolute fiction that a deity's laws are somehow perfect whilst secular laws pale by contrast.
All the human rights you undoubtedly "enjoy" and take for granted were provided by secular law, not Biblical law. You typify individuals who enjoy your human rights but are so blind to the fact not everyone in your community has those rights.
I resent that I am in my sixties, am a law-abiding citizen who pays taxes and is still being questioned about why I and my husband want the same human rights and protections as other married couples enjoy.
If there is indeed a creator, and from my perspective, experience and common sense he does exist, what he chooses to do is his business. His ballgame, his rules, not mine.
None of us are blind to the fact that human atrocities existed in the past, the present and will continue in the future until mankind destroys himself or if there is a deity and he steps in. It is not my goal to offend you. But if the lines of demarcation set by a supernatural being who claims to have sovereignty over the universe offends you that's not my concern. That is between you and him.
I do know this though. Running and managing 4 companies of my own that many of my employees make recommendations or even rebel at my present and future goals. However I firmly, yet kindly, remind them that it is my company and the final lines lie with me. How much more so the creator of the entire universe?

My argument is not so much where it will start or stop. My argument is who has the rights to set the rules or the line of demarcation. People or a creator? I was being "over the top" in a symbolic way. Sadly,sickly, tons of people are having sexual relations with animals and it's big business online. No it's not consensual. I doubt it would ever get to the point of marriage. However I must admit nothing would surprise me these days. -

People thought it "ridiculous" 50 years ago that homosexuals would be getting married and there were no signs it would change. Homosexuality was illegal for years. Now look at it.
