Anna: literal ... ( 1 day ago by mieszkochow)
Anna: literal interpretations. Either you accept whole Bible, or you have some citerion to decide which is literal (I guess you think that Jesus' resurrection was a fact) and which is not (Joshua and Jericho). Either you take all moral commandments seriously (spanking kids) or you reject all of 'em; either you have a criterion to decide which is ok which is not or pick and choose. EIther Bible is true Word of God or it is fallible, and you have criterion to decide which is true, which isnt

___
You're right, I do have a criterion decide which is true - MY HEART AND MY SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY AND MY FAITH, but I wouldn't expect you to know too much about those things, so please don't dictate to me what I can understand and what I can't, and think instead of filling that empty space in your head with some spiritual sensitivity and open your mind and heart to Einstein's "music of the spheres" and "Supreme Spirit".

It doesn't have to ... ( 1 day ago by asmodeus585)
It doesn't have to do anything with religion. It's only about antagonistic nations living too close to each other. And, of course, the stupidity of their people and especially the governments.
No major religion tells you to kill anybody with no reason.
Because they obey ... ( 1 day ago by asmodeus585)
Because they obey the law which is becoming more and more rigid in EU. There are far too many regulations, bureaucracy is too great and people perhaps don't believe in any spy-camera in heaven nowadays, but they don't have to - we have cameras peering at us everywhere. No imaginary God means state playing as Big Brother. When people don'tpray to any supernatural powers, they ask their governments for things like security, rights, etc. Paradoxically without religion people are less free.

Maybe you should just read your book, bible or whatever it's called, it's written to be easily understood by dummies.

"I wouldn't expect you to know too much about those things" "empty space in your head" - Yahweh's wrath, eh? Till this moment our discussion was gentle and civilized,but you have started tossing ad personam arguments. I don't dictate antything, I'm asking questions about your faith.
(You should better mock my english, i'm more sensible to this).
Now: if every person has his faith as a criterion in his approach to Bible and his Holy Book as you do, than 9/11 suicide maniacs are justified.

No. Not in Czech Republic. No spy cameras, no Big brither. Happy, secular, peaceful men and women.
Rigid EU law? You dont know too much about EU. It has nothing to do with criminal law at all. Our EU law concerns economy, health and safety in work, revenues, customs, regulations in argiculture etc.
Look at Texas. Very pious state. Highest crime rate in US. Look at Finland. Very secular state, the lowest crime rate in western world. Where would you like to live?
Yes. Major religion ... ( 9 hours ago by mieszkochow)
Yes. Major religion give good reasons for killing. Eg. homosexual (by stoning), men working on sabbath(stoning as well), men trying to convert you (that means you shall kill mormons or pentacostals knocking to your door), witches (means you shall kill old lady playing tarot). These are all commandments of the Torah and christian Old Testament.
I can believe that you think it right.
Indeed, my ... ( 9 hours ago by mieszkochow)
Indeed, my informations must be out of date, since i did not kno that Pinochet was a marxist.
Please, read article on Pinochetin WIkipedia.
All these countries had one thing in common: they reject free thinking, sticking to dogma instead. Every king of dogmatism is wrong. I do not defend marxists or communists, I defend free thinkig and scepticism.

OK then..... It's "You'd be better mocking" or "You'd do better to mock" (unless you meant to say "You'd better not mock") and "English" and "sensitive". At least I think that's what you mean. Only joking of course and no ad hominems intended.
Where, in all of ... ( 8 hours ago by CAFoster58)
Where, in all of that, Anna, are facts and evidence? REAL evidence, Anna, not bizarre claims that, because it has been experienced in the mind, it is real.
I'll happily dictate to you what you understand and what you don't, because you are an uneducated, immature child and a superficial thinker.
You can resolve those issues by learning, something that clearly does not interest you.

On December 14th, Anna wrote to me: "if I do ever decide to go to that google groups page of yours you better watch out"
I could correct your punctuation and use of upper-case versus lower-case letters, Anna, just as you presume to correct others, but that's not relevant to the argument, is it?
The reference is to the Google Group, Debating YouTube Theists.
You told me that I'd better watch you, Anna.
For what am I watching?
What do you know ... ( 6 hours ago by Fvilone)
What do you know about Marxism?? let me guess you where just 8 when the iron curtle was removed.
Do you know Mengistu of Ethiopia he was another communist who wants to remove the Christian belief from the country, He killed more than millions of people.
If you know all the followers of Marxist and Eangles are athiests. it is easy for you to say it is a dogma or whatever, because you never lived in that enviroment.

Free thinking, what ... ( 5 hours ago by Fvilone)
Free thinking, what free thinking look at Britain.
No moral value at all, go out 1 o'clock in morning you will find children from the age of 11 drunk and vomiting on the street. No respect for their own family and for ealderly. is that the society you want?
So many disfanctional families, and one of them is Dawkins who divorce his wife in his early age, No moral value.
Peace
I completely agree ... ( 4 hours ago by asmodeus585)
I completely agree with you, my friend. That's what I'm trying to say when I meet with any so-called liberal wondering how could I possibly be non-religious myself and support religion in general at the same time. :)
