Been a long time I logged in but just to say something. You're close there. The govt regrets implementing the EP too early. After 1991 they thought they were on the way to losing power but even they didn't expect Singaporeans to be that insecure with the prospect of losing the PAP as a govt...

If you wish to check if these legends are true, check independent sources. Wikipedia would be a good place. Nowhere in the bible says Jesus was born on 25th December. The name "December" was not used by the ancient Jews. 25th December was handed down from Catholic traditions in which the...

Exactly. No Christian should come to such a conclusion.

Contemporary scholarship puts the earliest writings of Mark to no more than 30 years after Jesus' death. That is not all. The epistles by Paul were written less than 10 years to the Corinth, Philistine and various churches. On top of it, disciples were sending themselves to death and the...

Coming to Christ calls for repentance, so no one can possibly commit crimes and come to repentance at the same time. Contemporary scholars accept the authenticity of Jesus' existence like any historical personality, no doubt about that. The earliest book of Mark was written no more than 30...

One, nowhere in Christian teachings mention specifically that Muslims "will get the worst". Non-believers misled by the devil can be any religion, atheists or "Christians" in name. Challenge Christians who tell you that to cite specific verses. Two, public sharing is not dichotomous by Muslim...

To promote a faith in public requires a level of confidence that the faith is true. Promoting it is not for self-gain, since there are none, but to share the way of salvation to others.

Q1: Who is "boss of the souls"? Q2: Based on the random act of probability, a soul can be born in a poor state in 10 lifetimes and another wealthy in 10 lifetimes. That is a tad unfair, isn't it? Q3: What do the souls do in the soul realm and how are they produced? Q4: Can you not...

There are 4 flaws to the theory of reincarnation. One, who administers the process of reincarnation? To take stock of every single deed in your life and weigh upon some subjective standards is an arduous, impossible task. Two, what did you do to deserve the bad things you suffer in your...

Hi Drifteri, long time no see :) I agree with you and this article. Christians are also sinners and cannot control their thoughts perfectly like the Lord. We also cannot understand this entire universe like the Lord does.

It is true creationists differ on the details but the broad principle is that of creation. For that matter, atheist-evolutionists also cannot agree on many details. Not all agree with Darwin's evolutionary theory of natural selection only. Disagreements do not debunk the collective theories...

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 is to be read in conjunction with Exodus 22:16-17 where the rapist must pay a compulsory fine of fifty pieces of silver to his victim's family. The victim's father may still turn down having the rapist marry his daughter. The rapist's rights to choose to marry his victim...

No, the bible doesn't state where exactly hell is, I didn't say it does and I stand corrected. To recall, I phrased my sentence as such: "Nowhere in the bible states a concrete location of hell. Many apologists believe hell is also at the heavenly realm but outside the gates of heaven where...

Thank you for the information on radiometric dating. Worth reading up.

Of course it is. Similarly since you put up link that favours your arguments, I can do so for what I believe in. http://www.gotquestions.org/where-is-hell.html In the King James Version, Ephesians 4:9 says that before Jesus ascended into heaven, “he also descended . . . into the lower...

The original discussion was about portraying certain imagery that religious values led to evils in a sense that the absence of religious values also leading to evils was seemingly ignored, so we have kind of deviated. The other discussion was whether religions were forcing beliefs down people's...

Fair enough, if you were referring to the past, whereas I was referring to the present. Fair enough. I admit I missed out that religion can mean different things to different people. Yes, religion has been used as a political tool and I see you agree that political agenda and evangelism are...

No one can force anything down anyone's throat if he doesn't believe in it. There are governments who use authority to mandate their citizens' religion by law. They involve only a few Islam countries. There are even more atheist countries who forbid people from practising their religions freely...

This is not to rebut any arguments against Christians being hypocritical, but how some of the justifications used are grounded on inventions or exaggerations. I am sure a Buddhist or Kuan Yin adherent being outraged by the denial of their deities who also deny the Christian God is nothing...

Unlikely. The Jews had always wanted freedom from their strings of foreign rulers and would have no part in glorifying them. The Romans had despised their captives and no Roman author in the right mind will do that.
