Well-played cop-out. Well, not exactly…

I don’t disagree with that. Homosexuality, or at least feelings or inclinations of homosexuality, in and of itself isn’t a particularly bad thing. But telling a young Christian guy that it’s good to do something gay can lead to HIV infection, since the CDC reports that 1 in 5 gays are HIV+.

For some Christians, the temptation to do something gay is very difficult to overcome—and maybe impossible for some. When a man and woman are intimate, it’s the man who does the doing while the woman receives. Yet there are male Christians who feel aroused and enthused about being on the...

I read, analyze, and evaluate every argument on behalf of an idea, position, or view; and I form my opinion independent of how I feel personally about it (that is exactly what I said). However, you did not make an argument for the “pro-choice” position. All you did was assert that a baby...

God has been judging me for many years now, and I’m so sick and tired of it. I have to suffer greatly if I’m the slightest bit imperfect, and God blames me for it because I couldn’t live up to his impossibly high standards! The Bible is pretty clear-cut about redemption for believers. When...

Many people want to be “right,” but they don’t want to be accurate. In other words, they want to win the argument irrespective of whether their opinion is true or false. This way of thinking applies to Christians and nonbelievers alike. I’m different, though. If I’m wrong about something, I...

All people with “pro-choice” views are inadvertently advocates for abortion. They are heavily engaged in self-deception, so they aren’t consciously aware of the fact they support abortion, but they support abortion nevertheless.

In your second reply to me on this thread, you falsely accused me of manufacturing fake pro-life scriptures (an odd accusation given that the Bible is full of real pro-life scriptures), and I easily debunked your claim by quoting Luke 1:41. And now you’re doing exactly what you were accusing me...

Some of the biggest supporters of legalized abortion are white nationalists. Abortion disproportionately affects black Americans, and racists want to make sure to keep the black population down, horrible as that is. Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, and she was known for...

I don’t disagree with that. Instead what they are saying is an unborn baby isn’t alive, so no killing technically took place. They are engaging in poor rationalizations and self-deception.

Cat ears are not horns.

I hear you: It shows how awfully deceived many Christians have become. It’s our job to enlighten them and bring them back to the truth.

She wasn’t judging women who get abortions. Most pro-life Christians agree that women who abort their babies have been tragically misled by all the “pro-choice” rhetoric out there, and in sense they are victims of deception. And again, most pro-life Christians agree that women who have had...

Um, God doesn’t point his finger and dictate that a miscarriage take place. Miscarriages or stillborns happen due to natural processes, not the Holy Spirit. Jesus severely reprimanded people who attribute the goodness, grace, and mercy of God to evil doings. Look up Matthew 12:22-32.

To be fair, people are technically allowed to do what they want with their bodies, but only insofar as isn’t doesn’t harm others. If a body mod enthusiast wants to disfigure himself with excessive tattoos and odd piercings, he is free to do so. But he can’t force someone else to get tatted up or...

I’m very tempted to spell out the obvious irony in that sentence you wrote, but I’ll spare you the humor.

It shouldn’t be that hard to connect the dots: Abortion is murder. Luke 1:41 says, “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.” The Bible defines the unborn as alive, so yeah, I have found a “single scrap of scripture” that...

To be a Christian requires a degree of humility: We must accept the fact that we are sinners and therefore embrace Christ as redeemer and savior. Many nonbelievers misperceive repentance as some sort of gaslighting and don’t want to do it. Thus, it’s not that atheists disbelieve due to a lack of...

Exodus 20:13 says, “thou shalt not murder.” It’s one of the Ten Commandments. To an impartial observer, it seems odd that God would have to tell humans not to kill each other. After all, doesn't everyone have a sense of right and wrong? Shouldn’t it be obvious that killing other people is...

I’m not an atheist, so I can’t say for certain what motivates many of them to dedicate quite a lot of their time to criticizing religion and harming Christianity in general. But it does seem like many atheists exude arrogance: They mistake their lack of belief for some sort of special esoteric...
