Yet another flaw in religious doctrine. |

Ha! Phineas Gage! Where did you get that from? Have you studied any psychology? We had a psych lecture about him last semester. Interesting case. |
|
Nah, I haven't taken much in terms of psych classes, I just stumbled upon it in one of my frequent internet wanderings. It IS an interesting story, though, isn't it? |

[23:17:23] <+Kaniaz> "You think I want to look like Leo Volont? Don't you dare"
Yeah. I mean, you'd think somebody who got a metal frickin' POLE through the head would be dead, instantly. I mean, people are meant to die from just one bullet. Man. |
|
Wow, TBM, gotta say you did pretty good at spinning that one. |

You have hit upon a bit of a conundrum here. If somebody fights their Evil Instincts to become a Good Person, then surely that Urge to resist one's own Inner Evil must come from somewhere. There are, in my mind, two Possible Sources for this urge to resist letting one's Inner Evil manifest itself in Evil Actions. |

It's my belief that as long as you repent in the end, God will forgive you. Maybe you have to do a bit more afterward to make up for it, but even the worst sinners can be saved if they truly repent. (Kind of a la Dante's Purgatorio.) |
|
I know, but what makes them a sinner? We're finding that they probably don't have nearly as much of a choice in the matter as we'd like ot think. They never CHOSE to be sinners, they just are that way because of chemical imbalances and physical mutations to parts of the brain. Refer to the selfishness link I posted earlier. |

I love (read: hate) the way you guys keep jumping on God, making fun of him, and waving your scientific data in his face. |

Evolution is still fact. The only people disputing it are these stupid Intelligent Design junkies. ID is absolute fucking pseudo-science, a warped doctrine being pushed by fundamentalist christian lobby groups. I've said it before, I'll say it again. |
|
your choice. But I still think I'm right. |

This could turn bad, you know. LAST time somebody tried to tell me that the Bible was scientifically valid and science is proving it right...well, it got messy. |
|
[23:17:23] <+Kaniaz> "You think I want to look like Leo Volont? Don't you dare"
Ahhh well. I'm actually reading through the bible at the moment, the New Revised Standard Edition, with all the apocrypha excluded in the Catholic version of the bible, cover-to-cover. I'm up to the Second book of Samuel at the moment. I can't stand ignorant christians, but, I also can't stand ignorant Atheists who make no attempts to get to know the religions they are refuting. |
|
Science does make mistakes in it's quest for the truth. So has christianity, I am sure that god did not like the spanish inquisition and the molestation of little boys by priests. |

Keeper--it's "scripture". Is English your first language? |

yes, but I've never been very good at spelling. When I read, I scim over the words, and dont take into account there spelling. |

Besides the fact that it is scray you sound surprised, wich leads me to think you think it is fine to discriminate homosexuals, and thus cause alot of misery and sadness, besides that: |

Hey, just to further that bit about intelligent animals, it's been proven that dolphins refer to eachother with names--unique sound patterns that only that individual responds to. They also can refer to eachother in third person--talk about somebody who isn't there at the moment. They are most certainly intelligent. |
