i knew i had a couple of firearms around the house, and one in the car.
however, i didn't realize i had seven, yes, seven of them, when i proceeded to count them.
the reason for that is that i haven't gone to the shooting range in years.
Some years ago, the late Beatle George Harrison confronted an intruder. As he was beaten, his wife was trying to fend off her husband's assailant, but was not faring well. Harrison then began doing one of the only things he legally could do in the U.K. to defend himself. He began yelling, "Hare Krishna!" He was badly beaten and the interior fled.
Hence the reason violent deaths are so much more common in the UK,
Oh ....
however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?
if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.
(1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.
Exactly, with rational arguments all we have available is evidence based reasoning. Creationists can't do that so arguing is pointless when you have no common ground whatsoever.
It's like when tne JWs come to my door and start quoting from the bible and I go to my daughter's bookcase and fetch Barrie's Peter Pan to prove the existence of Wendy,
the god of christian theism values faith.. "without faith it is impossible to please god, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists" - heb.11.
faith and evidence are inversely proportional - the more evidence there is that god exists the less faith you need in that proposition and vice-versa.. so how can a christian criticise any other faith-based belief?
for example they can protest that all the evidence is against the claims of scientology, but that just means that scientologists require more faith than christians.
however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?

As regards this thread it just goes to show you can't argue with creationists.

i am almost done with my study and working on to become one of an unbaptized publisher.
Read the song of Solomon and take care of her garden. Nothing else really matters.
Post of the day!
loaded gun under her car seat was picked up off the floor and the kid shot her in the back...the day before on facebook she boasted about his shooting skills.
what is wrong with this picture?
the dubsters in the uk are being taken for such a ride.. on one side they have prime land and property to sell in north london worth many millions of uk pounds.. on the other they have bought a contaminated site used for years of illegal dumping.
one of the main contaminants is asbestos.
it will take volunteer labour months simply to remove the toxic material.
Young idealistic people are handling this work at their own expense, wonderful!
What Cofty said. If you have evidence that this is true (you do have evidence, don't you?) then you need to inform HSE asap.
good morning everyone,.
first, i know some of you may feel very obligated to tell me "why would you want to get back in?!
i hate that i have to do this but i have to play their game.
Who am I to dispprove of your choice? It could well be that you really do have "Doormat" tattoed on your forehead. This is your fate.
Harsh. But fair!
most creationist arguments can be summarised as "complexity, complexity, complexity - therefore god".
we have all heard the illustrations about the odds of (insert favourite example) evolving, being less than 10,000 monkeys typing macbeth by pure chance.
evolution is not like that.
Landy, yes that argument is used by creationists but that does not mean it proves creation.
Sorry - I was referring to Fukitol's mini rant :D
Yes, I know irreducible complexity would be a reason to rethink evolution, but nothing of that nature has been discovered as yet. If it was, or even the hint if it, the creationists would be shouting it from the rooftops.
And here's the thing. If ever it was then the scientific establishment would learn from it and redefine the theory. That's the beauty of science - it's evidence driven.
You couldn't see religious fundamentalism doing that.
hello everyone, i hope you are all ok. .
my name is conan, i am 25, and from the uk.
i have some brain damage, so i apologise in advance if my syntax is off or i go a long way around explaining things.
I really am confused now joining here, but it might be the best thing I ever did if what I am reading is true.
I think most of it is true but a lot of it will also be tainted by not a small amount of bitterness.
The problem is both viewpoints, the one get in your study and the one from here, will be polarised.
Ultimately you need to make your own mind up - no one else can do that for you but the fact you're having serious doubts should be an indicator for you.
