Again, another person with ideas that make some people uncomfortable is banned. To say that his heart is closed is hypocritical - just about everyone here is like that. You stand firm to a set of beliefs and you will not change the way you think for anything. I think we could all stand to learn...

Well, it is very unfortunate that some of the people here wish to limit the expression of opposing viewpoints and ideas. I think that everyone just about anyone who posts here has had something useful and substantive to say at one point or another. I liked Leo's posts; I found that I was...

Was Leo banned from these boards? Or did he unregister? I thought he had alot of insightful things to say, and I like reading his posts and his take on many things.

Leo, it is fine to say that these amazing miracles were experienced or seen by others, but that isn't enough for me. I need a first-hand experience. If there is a God and he wants a personal relationship with me then he should also communicate that to me personally. Why should others get that...

So what, is God now trying to trick us? Sounds like a fun little game, creating the Earth and Universe 6000 years ago and then suckering us into thinking it is actually way older than that to make us think that the Bible is a big steaming pile of you-know-what.

Well, I think if God existed he could at least do some of us the courtesy of showing or revealing himself to us in a REAL way. It's not that all these people are turning their backs to God; they don't even BELIEVE he exists. If he wanted a relationship with them, all he  would have to do is show...

Valve should get their act together. They were supposed to force the change a couple of weeks ago but now it's probably gonna happen in a year, knowing them.

Lol, Big J. Some nice points made. Watcher, how do you propose that someone is supposed to come to believe in something that they can't believe in? Saying, "I believe in God because it's the safe bet" isn't real faith anyway. Since I started reading these forums, my faith has not...

Trying to ask "well, what caused the big bang?" makes just as much sense as asking what caused God to exist. You have to start somewhere, so what makes it more probable for the beginning to start with God than with the big bang?

Whoah, Timor. I am astounded at your turnaround. You were a hardcore Bible believer. Can I just ask you a few questions? When you did believe in God, did you feel that He was speaking to you in your life, or acting in your life in some manner? If so, what are your thoughts on that now that...

How exactly are some of you determining what you consider to be profanity? I see the word "screw" being thrown around alot. You might as well put fu** in there because it will mean exactly the same thing no matter what context you put it in. I don't think some people even understand why they...

mrpopdrinker, I understood what you were saying. What I am asking you is, why are you not going around healing people in God's name? You claim that you can ask him to do this and He will comply. mpty, it doesn't matter if not *everyone* will believe. Most will. I know if I was healed or if I...

mrpopdrinker, if you believe that you have the ability to heal people, cast out demons, etc... by praying to God for this to be done, then why don't you go around doing this? You will be able to convince all the people who lack faith that God really does exist by showing them what you have been...

1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 1:4 And God saw the light...

Well, there you go, Ultima. You have a real example of a gay guy trying to live a straight life. The characteristics I spoke of are generalities... not everyone will be exactly the same.

Well, I am going by the King James Version so I guess that is where the problem lies in this matter.

I am not backpedalling on anything. I am saying that gays commonly exhibit these behaviours as children BECAUSE they are gay. LionofJudah, I don't know how you are coming up with these figures but it makes no sense just to make up some fictional numbers and try to form an argument based on...

Ultima, the firmament in Genesis is not described as being the atmosphere. It is very clearly stated that the firmament sparated to waters and that the solid firmament contains the sun to rule the day and stars to rule the night. Clearly outer space IS what is supposed to be the firmament. To...

Well several Bible inaccuracies have been talked about in other posts in the past, but I will bring up a new one that hasn't been mentioned here yet (as far as I know). Genesis talks about a solid firmament separating two bodies of water, and this firmament contains the sun and the stars. I know...
