However, determinism allows for chance. It states that chance is also pre-determined, it may appear to be random, but certain conditions arise in which random events are able to occur. Learn your theories.

Oh boy... Guess I will have to remain in this low level of logical reasoning for a bit longer...

You satanists think that there must be sound evidence for something before you will believe in it. There is absolutely no reason to believe that quantum mechanic events are predestined and there is no evidence to support that. There is plenty of reason to believe in God, however, and plenty of evidence. Just take a look in the Creation Science subforum.

You should also be aware that not every single person's brain is wired in the exact same way. If it were, we would be clones, and there would be no subjective experience. However, since an electrical impulse in my brain may behave in a slightly different way to yours, we think differently, feel differently, experience differently. Just like we look different, act different and talk different.

This is just plain wrong according to your own satanic religion called secular science. Type in 'the hard problem' in any search engine such as google.

If God created us in His image, as you claim, how do I exist? I'm not perfect in your eyes, would God have been so careless as to create people who were not perfect, like him? I think not. Explain that one. And no, scripture does NOT count as evidence, since we're talking science

Prove to me that you exist.

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

Lycia,
You must be giving off a strong womanly pheromonal scent!
Here we are, getting ready to discuss how much we have in common: or just starting to discuss the terms of my recent ex parte restraining order ... and low and behold we have a limp noodled sheep shagger and an atheist lesbian jumping into the sack with us.

I therefore suggest we discuss this in seperate motel rooms.
What you think?

Butch, I suggest that you two should have a chaperone. This way, there is no danger of someone barging in during your discussion and interrupting.

Since I am presently in Freehold, staying in Phebe Carlyle's guest house, I would be more than happy to offer my services. If you prefer, you two may even visit here at the house; the guest house is quite spacious, with its own small (four-person) hot tub outside. I also have plenty of Helen's pie available for anyone who might be hungry.

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

Dear Miss Lycia,

now that Brother Johannes Kirkeholm has valiantly sacrificed himself to keeping the Atheist wahran occupied, I would like to come to a more important matter.

I have thought much about your precarious situation: being without a True Christian man to guide your path and at age 22 dangerously close to becoming a spinster – and the Bible tell us what is the proper procedure in this case:

Genesis 19:31-33,36
And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. (...) Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

With the Atheist and Pastaist scum here more interested in preaching the word of Lucifer, rather than getting their act together and bringing light into your life, I fear for you, Sister.

I am a bit reluctant to admit that I have recently started praying for you to find a True Christian man soon – and I briefly thought that Brother Butch might be the answer to my prayers. But last night, while thus contemplating your stated desire for divine submission with the purest of thoughts (Genesis 6:4), I was startled by a booming voice which spake unto me thusly “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. ” (Matthew 7:5)

After my initial shock, the Voice became a bit more conversational (sounding not unlike Alan Rickman) and explained that it was often necessary to starte those those who had not yet become True Christians in every sense to get their attention. The Voice then asked me how I was planning to create new Child Soldiers for Christ if I did not have a True Christian Wife, and gently smote the back of my head.

I thank the LORD for this divine intervention, as it gave me the strength of faith to man up and speak to you today, here, publicly before the eyes of True Christians and Unsaved Trash alike on the Intertubes.

You did say the other day that your baking was improving? If that is true, then the last obstacle to you being a fine – if a bit mature - True Christian Wife should crumble just like the Atheist wahran's “logic” in the presence of Brother Johannes channeling the Metatron.

I would welcome the opportunity to help keep you on the righteous path to JESUS our LORD with a firm hand and a strong, unwavering conviction derived from GOD's omnipotence and HIS personal plan for us.

I think I can safely assume that a True Christian man with healthy seed, a firm hand, a KJV1611 bible and a personal mission from GOD to keep you on the right path, is all you would ever want from mortal life anyway? As you have already been SAVED from the hedonistic illusions about choosing someone out of "love", I would now move straight to proposing, as all these heathen "getting to know you" rituals - which even someone as devout as Brother Butch seems not entirely liberated from - can certainly wait until after wedlock.

But there is this tiny issue left: You apparently live in GOD's own United States, whereas I am from Old Europe. If I recall Rumsfeld's statements correctly, residents of Old Europe risk their just incarceration without trial due to their betrayal in the last great Crusade of 2003, so my attempt to pick you up as my bride in Christ might result in my being permanently locked up with all kinds of religious fanatics who have obviously lost use of their mental faculties in Guantanamo Bay.
Of course I could never ask you, as a woman, to travel half-way around... across God's great, square Earth by yourself.

Revelations 7:1
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

By yourself, exposed to all sorts of ungodly temptations and your gender's demonstrated weakness of the flesh, you would surely go astray and that would pierce my devout heart. The traditional way would be to have your father accompany you over here (which would also allow us to negotiate the dowry like real men should) – but if I recall right, your father is liberal scum just like my own, so I could never trust him with your chastity.

If only there were a way to resolve this conundrum, I am sure I could keep you under c... on the right path to JESUS once we physically met. I know it must be a terrible burden to ask this of your beautiful, simple female mind – but do you have an idea how we get out of this predicament, into the future that JESUS intended for us?

YIC,

Alvin

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

First of all, you miserable little hussy, I don't find your "logic" attractive and have no interest in you whatsoever. Why do you feel the need to try to impress me like this?

However, determinism allows for chance. It states that chance is also pre-determined, it may appear to be random, but certain conditions arise in which random events are able to occur. Learn your theories.

That only takes into account events on the quantum scale, which, I am sure even you will notice, does not apply to us. If you are a determinist then you believe you are an organic robot and there is no escaping that.

You should also be aware that not every single person's brain is wired in the exact same way. If it were, we would be clones, and there would be no subjective experience. However, since an electrical impulse in my brain may behave in a slightly different way to yours, we think differently, feel differently, experience differently. Just like we look different, act different and talk different.

Could you please point out the areas in the brain that determines how people act? Its ok, I can wait.

If God created us in His image, as you claim, how do I exist? I'm not perfect in your eyes, would God have been so careless as to create people who were not perfect, like him? I think not. Explain that one. And no, scripture does NOT count as evidence, since we're talking science.

You're asking a question about God and you think scripture doesn't count as evidence? That would be like me asking somebody about physics and saying "And please don't use any books on physics as evidence hurr".

And yes, please, lets talk about "science". What can you tell me about vulcanism, phlogiston, phrenology, the steady state theory, or the open polar sea?

Go look in your closet.

Ah, the "witty" one-liner. It's a great way to try to deflect attention off of how you lost a debate, isn't it?

[Didymus Much]

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

...I'm far more qualified that you'll ever be to be talking about scientific evidence...

...I think you'll find that most atheists are more humble than you here "true christians"

I've been wracking my brain trying to reconcile your two statements above, and came to the conclusion that you don't know what "humble" means. Either that, or, adding this one to the mix:

...I believe in determinism...

You're not atheist. Laplace's Demon is your god.

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

Since I am no authority on physics, I would rather not attempt to answer those questions. My chosen field of expertise is psychology, and it is because of this that I am here.

I'm interested in the nature/nurture debate on religion, and interested in whether it is your genes or your environment that "decides" whether or not you're religious or not.

And I don't think calling me a hussy, when I'm clearly not, is going to help, is it? At least when I say things they're the truth.

And tell me, what makes you think that all scientists know everything to do with every type of science?

I shall now do what you all want me to do, because I am able to do the right thing, and I shall leave you alone here.

I wish you luck in finding a husband.

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

Why thank you Butch.

You look like a strong man. If we were to have a wedding do you think you could fight off a crazed pasta-addled pirate who would be violently objecting to the union because of his delusional beliefs?

Oh he is welcome to you Lycra, and such a union would have the benefit of saving two other people from a life of misery.

[Jo Freddie]

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

Jo Freddie, you're my inspiration. You're freakin' awesome.

Keep up the good work.

Why thank you, but as I have said before, I am just this guy..

A God Mocking pasta worshiping freak. yea your that guy. Jo Freddie when are you going to accept Jesus?

[Jo Freddie]

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

A God Mocking

I never mock God, I always praise God, Blessed be His Noodly Appendages.

pasta worshiping freak.

Just to be clear, I do not worship food, I worship God, who chooses to represent Himself as Pasta.

yea your that guy. Jo Freddie when are you going to accept Jesus?

Mmmm sometime after you accept Harry Potter as your savior.

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

Jo Freddie you are just this guy who will spend an eternity burning in Hell unless you repent!

Also I seem to have TWO suitors now.

Sorry I haven't "scared them away" for you and encouraged your false hope of marrying me penne-plunderer.

Re: Gone from Rahab to Religion! Seeking a TC Man

Good evening, Sister Lycia!

Would you and Butch like to come by the house and meet in a proper, supervised, True Christian(tm) setting?

Be sure to bring appropriate bathing attire! Sister Phebe might even join us all in the hot tub. She could use a little relaxation.

Well I would love to, Rev. Rodimer, but I don't know how I would get to Freehold.

I am also a little worried my swimsuit isn't modest enough. Do you think its alright Reverend?



Frankly, I'm a little worried I'd be showing off a little bit too much leg.

I'm sure it'd be fine in the hot tub, Sister! Nobody can see that far down in the bubbles.

Well, I suppose I could meet up with Butch and chaperone a Skype date for you two instead . . .
