So morals are reletive? As for Judeism being the oldest religion... God created the universe and then people. When Adam and Eve sinned, God killed a sheep to cover their nakedness. This was the start of Judeism, and as there wasn't anybody else on the Earth to start a new religion yet, it has...

The Golden Rule is a Christian ideal. It came out of the Jewish religion, which was the first religion of all. From your statements, it appears as if you are a Humanist. Your philosophy is right in line with theirs. There is a moral absolute, God's. You say that moral aren't rigid. Does that...

Maybe so, but then I would have a chance to reply without raising the dead topics. :) Please?

ROFL! Unfortunantly that's also true...

Thanks Killerah. No, I'm not offended by that phrase (see 'Can Christians curse?' thread for my views.).

I must admit, I tend more towards secular heavy metal (Korn, Tool, Rob Zombie), but the Christian stuff I've heard is pretty good. Unfortunantly I can't name any specific bands (except for P.O.D., whom I've heard on secular stations). The problem is that my mother doesn't like any heavy metal...

I did notice that it had come up several times, but by then I had already started this topic. Maybe we can start fresh here?

I used it in proper context (illegitimate). Dude, just listen to the news. This government is taking powers not given to it by the Constitution and misusing them.

When the states signed the Constitution, most of them said that they were resverving the right to leave if things went sour. CS, the principles were Small Government (CSA) vs. Big Government (USA). AS a result of the North winning, we have the crappy government that we have today. In fact, IMO...

Simply because the CSA believed in the government that the USA had started out as. The US government moved away from the principles upon which it was founded and was doing the same thing as England was to the Colonies. The goal of the CSA was to go back to those principles.

I bought my Mom a bag of Kettle Korn. She really likes that.

Try this one: http://lincoln.lib.niu.edu/cgi-bin/getobject_?c.2156:1./lib35/artfl1/databases/sources/IMAGE/ And how was the spirit of the Constitution violated by allowing the South to seccede? It was the same as the Colonies declaring their freedom from England. A government was taking...

As I stated in the fav. presidents thread, I don't think Lincoln was a good president. I also stated that I thought he was a bigot He did not believe that blacks were as good as whites. The following is a expert from Lincoln's fourth debate with Douglas on September 18. 1858. Here is a...

Instead of derailing this thread (which I'm afraid I've already done and I apologize for) I'm going to start a new thread on this topic.

It appears to me that there are several atheists that are members here and I have a couple of questions for them. Do you believe in Right and Wrong? Do you believe that there are moral standards that man should adhere to? Where do your morals come from? Thanks in advance for your time.

I like your sig Whon. DC Talk is very good.

I like George Washington and Teddy Roosevelt. Kraniac, I cannot believe that you like Lincoln. The man was a criminal. He violated the Constitution and common law several times just to get what he wanted. And before you say 'he freed the slaves' or something like that, Lincoln didn't like...

Heaven will be communing with our Lord. (And a lot of pomegranete trees)

Now I feel bad about myself.

Try taking this. I got 9 out of 11 my first time. http://www.mikescomputerinfo.com/inteltest.htm
