Thanks for dropping by. I have my own issues with Driscoll though I believe he is a Christian brother. Beck, a Mormon, on the other hand I do not regard him as a Christian brother.

Now maybe it’s just me, but it seems that much less attention was given to Beck’s speech than Driscoll’s appearance. Soon after Beck’s commencement speech Falwell, Jr. was praising it as one of the best Liberty has had.

Color me confused.

The Bible tells us that sex between husband and wife and within the bonds of marriage is a beautiful and wonderful gift from God. That said, Christians today are living and walking in a minefield of sexual enticements in a sex obsessed culture. Modesty and purity are being attacked from every side.

With the invite of “Christianized sex obsessed”, Mark Driscoll to Liberty University it seems that this once strong bastion of conservative Biblical thought is now simply attempting to keep up with and even surpass the worldliness of the world.

Even though Mark Driscoll may make a few valid points, his focus is far from the focus of Jesus. What about the millions who will be suffering for eternity for lack of hearing and responding to the Good News. In saner times that Good News was the focus of the education provided by Liberty University.

With Mormon Glenn Beck’s commencement teaching on “faith” and Mark Driscoll’s sex obsessed rantings, parents might want to re-consider sending their vulnerable children to the “safe” environment of “Christian” Liberty University. At least in a secular university you know what you are up against. At Liberty University, if your guard is down, wolves may be finding it easy pickings to take their prey.

I have a question about your comment that we should be leading people to Christ. Would that be the Christ of Joseph Smith or the actual Christ written about in the New Testament?

Thank you!

You’re proud of this? If so, I would say that your faith is rather thin compared to your politics. In other words, you wasted your 4 years studying at Liberty U, you should have just sat in front of your TV and left it tuned into Fox News and the 700 Club.

That was uncalled for. You wouldn’t be in a position to know what Dr. Towns cares for.

I appreciate that you attended and graduated from Liberty. Thanks for your comment, however I’m confused on something. Where has Liberty been slandered specifically? Did I say something false in my post?

1. Indoctrination. Many people are raised by their parents to believe in God. Children listen to their parents, whether or not what they are saying is true or sensible. A lot of people just take their parents’ opinions about God (among other things), and use them rather than really thinking about their own ideas.

2. Fear of death. Many people don’t want to just die and disappear, as a lot of atheists believe. So they like this idea of a heaven, where you can go if you believe in God. I’ve even heard people say that they’re only religious for this reason.

3. Sadness at the death of others. Many people don’t want to believe that their loved one is simply gone forever. They want to think that in a few short years, they will too die and then be reunited with their dead relative.

4. To fit in. So many people see atheists being shunned, and want to fit into the crowd. So again, a lot of people just do the whole God thing because of one perk.

So really, it’s not that God can’t give evidence for his existence, because he’s omnipotent (in theory) and can do anything. It’s people not being able to support their idea of God.

What if I told you that there was a celestial teapot, orbiting the Earth? What if I told you that this teapot is so small, that we can’t prove it because our instruments aren’t strong enough? Well, I should rightly be thought mad. But if this teapot were the focus of an old storybook and was taught as fact every Sunday, then we would see a very different outlook on my little teapot.

If you don’t mind, would you please explain a couple of things to me?

First, what is “uniformity of nature” and what does it mean in the context of this discussion? What is a Triune God and how is all experimentation grounded in this Triune God?

I am not sure by what authority you assign all atheists with any particular belief. The way I explain my atheism is that it is a disbelief system, not a belief system. I do not claim to know anything more than anyone else. We all know the same amount. Which is not much.

Thanks in advance, and

Peace,

I should tell you that although I am an atheist, I am somewhat versed in Christian theology. I have not heard those phrases used, however.

So you think I shouldn’t kill my son, but I would have the right to do him permanent bodily harm without causing his death? Of course under my definition circumcision would fit, but that’s another issue, I mean some other kind of permanent disfigurement.

I am very tired at the moment but I just read through all the posts in my inbox and something jumped out at me.

Somebody posted that it was a man’s right to have a gun and defend his family, in defense of gun rights. Someone said that the Bill of Rights were to prevent the state from infringing on those specific rights.

Why, then, did somebody argue previously that the right to choose your spouse is not a human right? Or, on the other hand, if the state makes a law protecting it, it becomes a protected right doesn’t it? Isn’t that the exact same thing as what has happened with LGBT marriage laws? The state has ruled that it does not have the authority to take this right away from people who want to practice it.

Good evening to all.

according to my worldview, taking the life of another is wrong for us to do. God is the judge and in our rebelling against Him, we are worthy of death.

Why would murder be wrong according to your worldview?
