If you all are going down the definition of "God" then most would say one of the characteristics would be omnipotent (can do what ever). This can be stumped with the simple boulder theory: "Can God make a boulder so big that he can not lift?" If he can lift it then he can not make it, if he can make it then he can not lift it... Either way the idea of a god fails.

Not really. God can make a boulder that he can't lift. He can't lift it because he is busy making it. Then, in the next instant of time, he can lift it.... because he is God. bigsmile
That is religious thinking, he can either make it or he can't. If he can lift it the next day even then he has not made a boulder that he could not lift...

People should not be that uptight that they think everyone is putting them down. You said that he was fun to joke with so he should have taken this as a joke. Maybe he was just having a bad day.

A guy I use to work with always use to say:
"Joke them if they can't take a F#@k"

I know it is not Christmas time but I ran across an old song that I liked when I was a kid, we had the vinyl record of it: "Santa's A Hippie"

I thought I would share it here as it is funny, as are the other hippies ones like it...

I guess it would all depends on how she took the differences. I am open to new ideas, but she has to accept that we are not going to see eye to eye on some things.

If she is religious and I am not, she can worship what ever she wants to make her feel whole inside...but don't expect me to do the same.

Things like abortion I consider a case by case thing, same with assisted suicide though.

Politics are going to not agree, the same parties do not agree with each other so why should a couple? It is good to get into healthy arguments. Some times it is fun just to pick the opposite side just to argue, if you do debate you learn that you are better at convincing if you choose the side that you do not agree with so you have to find enough to make you agree before you can make someone else agree.

About the only differences I see being a deal breaker would be smoking and/or telling lies. I do not smoke so I do not feel well around someone who does if we are that close. Then there also has to be trust in a relationship...

Todays' Challenge is: Say Hello to Five Complete Strangers.

Then post here and let us all know how they reacted. I will do the same. :)

This might be a challenge where you live but in the south here that is just what you do. I say "Hi" to over a dozen people while on my runs... Most just say "Hi" back and that is it but a few stop and talk for a few minutes. Good Luck on your challenge there though...

Yes! Educated women do frighten men.

Want to know why? It's very simple and most men won't say it but....

It's their mother. A woman more educated than them makes them think of their mother. What man likes dating his mother?

Not everyone has a smart mother so this theory is out, my mother was not very educated and instead she liked to spend her time watching soap operas...

Educated women are better so you can connect mentally, someone who you can actually share things with and not have to explain everything. But each to his own...

One explanation as to why the people who were prayed for did not do as good is they might have not tried as hard to heal them self. Mental state has a lot to do with healing, if you give up on that because you think that a magical force will take care of everything then maybe they will not take their medication or eat like they are suppose to or something like that. I am sure there are other thoughts as to why the ones prayed for did worse than the ones that but that is just my thought off the top of my head...

HELLO ALL!

As many of you know, the whole purpose of people posting is to have fun and to gain something. It's not meant to hurt anyone.

Recently I found out that someone (not going to mention any names) did not like the fact that I, a Christian, was posting here. While I do not agree with this, the last thing I would want to do is make someone feel uncomfortable. Though I did think evolutionists were not so sensitive, if someone is sensitive and offended by my remarks, I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable.

And so, I will not be posting on the Science and Philosophy category. I'll still be on the Religious category, so I will answer my question there.

Shiki

The only thing you might hurt is the little bubble that you call faith or religion, science and philosophy is about reason and logic. Posting in here as a christian or any other faith is fine with me as long as you stick to the facts and not fall back on faith or fairy tales. But honestly it is sounding like this is your way to back out of this topic that you started because you realized that you were not going to win if you had to leave faith out of the equation.

If you want to finish this topic in here that is fine but out of courtesy of others I would not go into a church to argue the ignorance of the religions so I also stay out of the religion section here also...

Looks good, now you just have to take care of it. I am sure they told you how to do that. Personally I like Lubriderm the best...

I agree with you posting the message, since you are unsure of what to do here and asking for others to help it is better to see what she actually wrote... it is not like her name is on here or anything. It is how she wrote it that screams the crazy needy person, if you were to paraphrased it then it might not have came across the same.

As others said here...RUN!...lol. I would give her a response though unless you want to deactivate your account and move away from everything she knows about you, the neediness in her message might be just the tip of the iceberg and she has a lot more crazy that she is not showing you so I would be careful with your words. You met her in person so you should know her better but she might have been on her meds during the date but wrote that off her meds. Good Luck...lol

I guess everyone is a little different, some people just say "hi" and that is enough to start the conversation (maybe they only write that to see if the profile is still active). Others might write a book. To the wrong person both options might be ignored, the one for being too short and the other for being too long...lol. I guess it all depends on the mood of the person receiving the message...

Is truth objective or subjective?

I would say neither.

Objective means that it is trying to accomplish something but truth has already accomplished all it is going to do, it is finished.

Subjective means it is in one's mind, the truth about something in one's mind could be subjective only because they might not have all the facts.

But actual truth is undisputable, right or wrong it is what happened.

Jesus IS truth. Therefore, it is not subjective.

LOL...Now you are in 2 science threads claiming "Jesus" is real without any proof. If you want people to blindly believe in that you need to be in the religious section...

Today, you shall have your answers. But, I was expecting more of you to dispute this.

I am afraid you do not understand how science works...

You come up with your hypothesis, then do your experiment. If your hypothesis does not fail in your own experiments then you can claim it is a theory. That is when you present it to others to test, if they can not make your theory fail then it can be considered a scientific theory until it does fail or something like that.

So we are waiting for you to present your theory then we can test it...
