The real question is if pokemon were real would they eat us.

Outrageous stupidity is pretty common on the internet. Sarcasm is often delivered with a different tone of voice or based on the personality of the person. Since both those things do not apply to forum posts sometimes is better to air on the side of caution.

Hardly, forgiveness does not mean that the act that was forgiven was acceptable. Back off all the religious hate, the problem is the Judge let the rapist go, not that the parents forgave him. Rape is very much a crime not only against an individual but against society itself. So no matter...

You are right in the idea that I do not know what its like to be gay. I am aware that it isn't easy to go against, and I feel for those who struggle against it for the sake of Christ. Love is a very nuanced word. There are a many different kinds of love. Love of a parent for child, love of a...

Well for the first, that is a matter of your opinion, just as it is in my opinion wrong. As for the second, while there may be some examples of altruism in nature, it is not the norm. Survival instincts tell you to not put yourself in danger. And while yes kids can share and be self...

You may not choose your genetic predisposition to be gay, but you still choose to act upon it. The bible has been translated many times. But it was translated by scholars who have devoted their lives in the study of the original language. I am currently learning greek myself. There are...

That assumes many things. Your view of God may be that simple, mine, and the understanding of God gained from the Bible is not. God is, at least in the christian faith, a heavenly father. With that role come correction. He knows what is best for us, and is therefore allowed to say this is...

I never said otherwise. I am not saying that having the desire or predisposition to do something is in itself wrong. I am merely stating that we have the ability to fight those desires, and many do. It is our actions that ultimately define who we are, and not our desires or tendencies. I also...

Of course you don't have to, but you can. Obviously it is up to the person whether or not to do so. I could of course argue that alcoholism and temper can adversely affect other people, but that is not really the point of my argument. What I am saying is that, if I consider any kind of action...

Diseases are very different from propensities. Some people are genetically predispositioned to alcoholism, or temper, or liking meat more than vegetables. A person can stop drinking alcohol, can learn to control their temper, or can become a vegetarian. Diseases are not actions, homosexuality...

Technically speaking 2010 is still part of the current decade. When we switched from BC to AD (Or BCE to CE)we started on AD 1 rather than AD 0. So we still have over a year to go.

Problem with the life expectancy statistics is high infant mortality rates skew the number much lower than it realistically is. http://www.utexas.edu/depts/classics/documents/Life.html If you actually manage to not die at childbirth or soon after you have a good chance of making it into...

The question is not can an atheist live a moral life or adopt a moral world view. The question is can they say why that life ought to be lived in comparison to a non moral one.

Wrong, the original word literally means someone who uses spoken words to harm others. There are also numerous other passages that state similar views on spells, spiritualists, mediums, and divination.

Also its not like Gabe Newell is under some kind of oath or contract for what he says. They also are releasing all the things he claimed they would, just not in DLC but an actual new game, sorry that you have to actually pay for the work they are doing.
