It might be easier to illustrate my point with simple numbers. Lets say there are 1000 men in the world. 70% (or 700 men) are 25 or older, and 30% (300 men) are younger. Let's next say that from these 1000 men, 100 assaults were committed, 46% under 25, the rest are over. That means that 300 men com...

If 46% of sexual assault perpetrators are under 25, then that also means 54% of sexual assault perpetrators are 25 or OLDER. So by your very own reasoning, women are safer around men under age 25. Touché No, that's not how the numbers work, unless you could also say the 46% of men are under 25. If ...

One person says there is a God, another says there is no God. One or the other is wrong. One person says there is a God, another says she disagrees. I haven't heard that many people declare there is no god, likely because that's just as baseless as saying there is one. There's a huge difference bet...

You should stick with that, and insist on a definition of absolute truth that doesn't trivially circle back to "God". When most people say "absolute truth" they have no idea what they are talking about. Very good point. When Schmo said he believes in objective truth I find myself translating that i...

I believe in the resurrection and second coming of Jesus. I realized long ago that there were people smarter than I am but also that I am not dumb. Christianity, or any other religion, has always had smart adherents. That's undeniable. The question, however, is whether they are applying the fullnes...

It seems to me that you agree that there is absolute truth. Depends on what you mean by absolute truth. I definitely believe there's an objective truth. Without that, we couldn't have schedules or appointments where people show up at the same time and place, for instance. Are you agreeing that men ...

I also believe that what can be known about God has been made plain to men, yet men suppress truth in their unrighteousness.

Ironically, I agree with this. The only difference here is that the people suppressing the truth are theists. But yes, what can be known about god, nothing, is plain to see.

I really don't like the term atheist, and refuse to assume that label. It's partly due to the wide misunderstanding of it's modern use, but the main reason is why should I assume a label that describes something I'm not ? I wouldn't assume any other label which told someone else what I'm not, becaus...

I honestly have trouble believing mr A-H is not the sock of one you "libruls" making fun of trumplican, double cultists who get all their information about the world outside their crappy little holler from right-wing rage bait for simpletons... Well if so, he's kept the act going consistently for y...

Why would I lie about this? I wasn't trying to be safe (have you ever known me to pull punches?) I considered your question and what I wrote was the answer running through my brain. I've got no reason to lie about my opinion. One thing you alluded to that is absolutely true: I assess all individual...
