Every theist is Hitler? Seems if that were true you wouldn't be posting here cause you would be dead. Considering the number of Hilters floating around.

What are the 2 best arguments for and against God? This is a question of subjective opinion, and I am curious to hear your thoughts whoever you are.
I don't feel you an argue gods exist or not but I like to discuss peoples views and relationships with gods. Religious and spiritual experiences are personal not scientific. Discussing religion or gods or spirituality is just a social exercise. I would not argue for the God of Abraham as He seems douchey based on the text.

This is why non-religious need to take the bull by the horns - for our children, for our principles, for our future survival.
After theists what group will you obliterate next to make you happy?

I think what you actually mean is, some humans prefer to attribute said deity with masculine pronouns.
No I said what I meant.

Teach science, reason, and history from an early age.
That's already done. If you want to eradicate religion you have to ban it being practiced. Nobody wants to say that but that is really the only way.

I'm asking about the God that claims to have made man in his image.

The only reason the company isn't releasing the gas is a fear the weak spots in the pipeline might be targeted. This company has a crappy pipeline and crappy IT department. Nothing to do with Washington. Except a lack of policing cyber crime.

They had no papers to fight for ownership in court, had no guns, and Columbus was ruthless. Today people could fight you in court or just call the police. Not really the same. Not to mention we are a sovereign nation now.

That the Hyde amendment is wrong. Because as per the Hyde amendment, you proposal would be illegal.
No I think it can be tweaked. One and only one. I was asked a question and answered it. I am not out giving government money to women to have abortions because they can't get to PP till they are pregnant. I am also not a law maker.

Ok, Stephen, found a theory for you. Check out Jesus and the Rainbow Body. The theory is your body at the right vibration becomes a worm hole to other dimensions. Jesus learned this skill from the Buddhists, a skill Enoch has as well. I found it last night perusing the Gaia channel. Cool stuff. Also explains the Shroud of Turin.

pregnancy can absolutely be life threatening. Women do die from pregnancy. It also has serious health implications, some of which can be permanent. So lets not pretend like forcing someone to go through with a pregnancy doesn't have serious impacts to their health.
If life threatening then the medical would pay for it. So you are trying to mix two different types of abortion.
no contraceptives are 100% successful. not everyone has access to the morning after pill. Assuming that everyone has easy access to all the tools to prevent pregnancy is a big assumption. And even then, those tools can fail.
Funny they can't get to PP for birth control but they can for the abortion. LOL.
Personal responsibility is a good thing. But people make mistakes. Saying "fuck you, you deserve to suffer" when they do isn't helpful.
As I stated I am all for one elective abortion per person for free. At some point people need to quit expecting someone else to pay for their lack of judgement.

Aliens (intelligent aliens) and demons are two different concepts. One reasons, the other is bad for the sake of being bad, literally. You chuck out nuance once you adapt the concept of demons as invading aliens.
Demons are only considered evil cause monotheism says so. Most demons are associated with a type of knowledge. But I agree an alien would be someone from another planet where a demon is a spiritual being on the astral plane.

Elective abortion isn't life threatening. Kidney stones can be. You can also give up the child and not have to raise it. Again, birth control is free. If you aren't going to use it or the morning after pill then you can pay for the abortion. I get real tired of hearing about republican's being evil when personal responsibility is expected when your are already getting free crap and just need to get off your butt and access it. You can get an IUD for free and not get pregnant for five years. It's literally a five minute appointment. Yet that is a liberal inconvenience and should not be expected to be used cause you don't like the poor having to exert any personal responsibility cause your guilt at them being poor.

Because with life comes death, it's not limited to kids. Parents could've done something, they had the freewill to not be parents to children they can't support.
Cause if you live in a place where people starve you can access birth control? Or you would be of a mind to never have sex? Or be forced into sex.

In the spiritualist church I attend we do mediations with the intent of mediumship to get messages so spirit is asked to come and visit. I have experienced the room feeling full you mentioned. You can even get a brushing sensation on your skin or clothes. Often there are lights in the black room if you open your eyes when this happens.

What other elective procedures does the government pay for? If it's none then why should abortion be special?

Ok so do you think they would have wasted time and money on wrapping a man alive. Also, John 19: 34 states: Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. So his lung was pierced. If he didn't die on the cross from asphyxia he would have when his lung was punctured.

Not saying those worlds can't intersect but I still think spirit beings are limited in what they can do here with no body. I believe in angels and demons, don't think they run around effecting people all over the place. Same for elves and dwarves. Same for elementals and wights.

Matthew 17:20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Totally believe in the have faith in yourself and you can do whatever you want. Whether any god is involved or not.

No idea is they used smelling salts not sure they would care if criminals were dead or still a bit alive if being buried. You get a bit grey in color after a few minutes of not oxygen. If you were someone who watched people die on cross regularly you would notice this.

I want abortion legal and safe. If you get a medical card you don't get any elective surgery paid for as far as I know. You also don' t get eye or dental. If you are going to not take advantage of the free birth control your card allows for then you have to pay for an abortion. That said if the government paid for one non medical abortion in a person's life time it wouldn't bother me.

There are over 6000 laws on the books. I don't think America needs 6000 laws.
Those range from white collar to traffic court. It covers more than the few things we are addressing here.
So if someone cheated on you, you wouldn't care? There is an exception if both the husband and the wife are fine with it.
Yes but what does the law have to do with my hurt feelings?

That is an interesting word to use ("faithful") in relation to marriage or sexual relationships. One usually relates faith to God or religion. You seem to be saying you have been worthy of your partner's faith and trust in you.
I think we have done that for each other. I trust him completely.

I am in general not a promiscuous person but I would have no problem with sex without marriage. I would have to be in some kind of relationship with the person. Not a religious, cultural or spiritual thing. More an emotional thing. I have been faithful to my husband for 28 years with no real need to look elsewhere.

If god was real, he would not have let the Jews suffer in such a manner.
Yet he let them wonder the dessert, be drowned, turned to salt and be slaves in Egypt. The Torah pretty much says, "Hey I will let you rot once in a while".
I am out to convince anyone they should believe in gods. If they have lost their faith for whatever reason that is their choice.

There are all kinds of ways an alien race might be able to wipe us out and not all of it would necessarily be intentional. In the War of the Worlds the aliens died due to a virus we had on Earth but that could just as easily work both ways. Not mention if their technology effected our bodies or minds in a negative way. Sound waves and such. Then there is all the technology they might have in weaponry and bio weaponry.

If the ones that matter already have laws, then why do we need 6000 laws to prevent 6 things from happening?
What 6000 are needed to address these six? There are more crimes then the ones mentioned here: Criminal, Civil and Traffic.
I don’t understand what your saying here. Can you clarify?
Some states have a status offense called incorrigible you can charge your kids with for not listening.
It should if both partners aren’t on board with it.
Legislating morality never really works.
Created:
The ones that matter already have laws. And five, if under 18, can lead to an incorrigible charge in some states. Not sure adultery needs to have a law or a punishment.

On a non parties end but on the persons end the emotional reaction/ attachment is the same. You combine that emotional attachment to more solid things like culture, tradition, politics, fame or money you can get a building effect on those emotions. But the average believer has a emotional bond with with their deity on some level. Some may have it less or more strongly than with with real people. I think when someone is called to be a servant of a god in one way or another there is certainly a stronger bond to do the gods work, even if the work leads them to do charity for other people.

@Theweakeredge
Not necessarily. My own experiences have often been as real as with a living person and that bond to the deities I had them with, as well as when I had them with Jesus, is pretty strong. I believe emotion is emotion. It's why we can become emotionally overwhelmed when experiencing art.
