Mahfrot, my argument is not flawed, and I didn't make any assumptions about you people being modalists. I just wanted to know what the Christians here believed their fate would be if it turned out that there was in fact a god but Jesus was not his son. The point was to consider what might happen...

Custom maps are OK if they are actually fun to play, but most of the ones on Trib are horrible. Take beachassault for example. It is one of the worst maps I have ever played. Not fun at all.

Timor has it right, Master~Plan.

Oh really? Well what if the god presented in the Old Testament is real, but Jesus was a fraud? Do you think the god of the Old Testament would tolerate and accept that you have spent your life worshipping another god?

There could be no such thing as a YY male. The Y chromosome is the smallest chromosome and it contains only a few functional genes. XX is female, XY is male and it would be practically impossible for a zygote to end up with a double YY configuration. That would require two non-disjunction events...

No, you need Peter Popoff's miracle spring water from Russia. That's how you can REALLY be healed.

Let's pretend that there is a god, but you Christians have it wrong; you have chosen the wrong religion to follow. For this mistake you will suffer in hell for eternity. What will you think of god then? Will you say "Oh well, I guess I'm a dummy. I got it all wrong. I deserve my punishment."...

You are looking at things from the perspective that if there is a god, your faith must be right one. Either god is who you happen to believe he is, or there is no god. Maybe the Jews are right and even though you happen to believe in god, you are worshipping a false idol in Jesus. God wouldn't...

You people are right when you say that your god doesn't have to answer to anyone and that he can do as he chooses. But your bible has proven him to be inconsistent, unreliable, and a despicable character at times. And yet you refuse to acknowledge that fact, asserting that he is pure goodness...

Here's a question: is your god just, or is your god merciful?

That was my point, Lion. Lions and tigers are different species but they *can* breed to produce viable, although sterile, offspring. Same with donkeys and horses. Master~Plan, now you are trying to suggest that animals within a family should be able to interbreed. In any case, these examples...

Unfortunately, Timor doesn't have his own atheist Bible. If he did, he could just spit applesauce back and forth with you forever, Miscellaneous.

Yeah, imagine if lions could breed with tigers, or if donkeys could breed with horses. That would be crazy! If something like that happened, we would have to consider god incompetent.

Ok, here are two papers on studies describing concordances for homosexuality: J.M. Bailey and R.C. Pillard, “A genetic study of male sexual orientation,” Archives of General Psychiatry, vol. 48:1089-1096, December 1991. *52% of identical (monozygotic) twins of homosexual men were likewise...

I think the "feeling" that any theist gets about a god is totally psychological; it is imagined and not real. It is like when you see a sad movie and you start feeling sad yourself. The movie is fictional, but you may still feel sad, even though you have no reason to feel that way. The emotion...

You have no argument, Jango. Basically, you're saying "Oh wow, life is so amazing and complex and this universe is so wondrous. This must mean that there is a god who is even more amazing, complex, and wondrous who must have created it all." That is about as lame an argument as you can make.

A practicing homosexual is doing no worse than any of you with regards to living a sinful life. You all "sin" repeatedly, day after day, and it is a conscious thing - you are completely aware of it WHILE you are doing it. If you disagree with that statement, I will have to call you a liar...

El Jefe, aren't you Catholic? I would have thought that you might at least believe in theistic evolution.

Kidan, I will take a look at my text and notes from a behavioural genetics course I took last term. I think there are a few references there to studies on this matter, so I'll post the references here. You may have to go to a University library to take a look at these unless you somehow have...

Research has reliably shown that homosexuality is moderately heritable. This alone discredits any theory about it simply being a choice. There is likely not a single gene that causes homosexuality, so give up the tired arguments about no "gay gene" ever being found. El Jefe, I would say that in...
