I'm a Dawkins warrior, watch out!

On Liberty John Stuart Mill "The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it." Can it be put any better? I think not.

haha epic and Tarantino defines relevance in my world :D

Red Queen by Matt Ridley Basically a summation of sex and evolution

Yes, "now, that's a hard motherfucking fact of life. But it's a fact of life your ass is gonna' have to get realistic about." (Marsellus Wallace)

Wow first name basis, Iron=Alex That's kool.

lol at Iron's description of you. Your the quiet catholic with an avatar of Christopher Hitchens haha

I was christened a Catholic, choose me!

You keep trying to emphasise this point, like it gives you some condolences. You wouldn't force it onto me, and mine isn't an opinion. It's a conclusion based on the only system of clear thinking we know...a thing called logic. Basically, I can't believe you wasted your time writing all that...

Nah, I'm smarter then you, I think you’re the one missing the point. Why am I smarter? "If I could answer your questions...But the point is I can't prove to you that the Bible is real...I believe everything in it...just because one Catholic Priest says he disagrees with [basically everything...

It also concedes the negative effects in general on human education. Teaching irrational and logic denying ignorance against rational, evidenced based science :D Lets take a moment to remember John Lennon: "Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only...

They're not equally valid. Your 'opinion' holds not truth as it is backed by no viable evidence. Evolution has much transcended a theory- it is the best rational explanation for the existence of life so far and any evangelical, backwards religious interpretation of genesis literally is...

Two points here: 1) There is no 'presumption' of respect for others opinion, other then their liberty to hold it. You confuse tolerance with respect, which is a common case. Tolerance, at the bare minimum implies that someone with the power to interfere/stop something consciously chooses not...

It's a test lol

On what rational basis as a species is it wrong to have sex before marriage anyway (from a well-rounded, scientific, evolutionary P.O.V.) beyond the ramifications of STI's/pregancy?

Do you think though that the literal interpretation of that message, in which we should love our enemies and allow them to harm us, is a good message? It basically completely debunks one own's cherishment of autonomy

So you try and rationally justify abstinence on a risk-averse basis? Let's see how far this leads, without quoting the Bible If the probability of contracting any STI and pregnancy (mose well throw it in) through the use of a condom was 0, would you have sex?

I don't do relationships, but if I were to hypothesize: 1) On her path- Not another high-school drop out who does child services at tafe (no offence) or hairdressing. Has at least some conceptual goal/vision of herself in a chosen field. This generally requires Intelligence. I'm not overly...

And then Jesus said: [27] "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. [29] If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from...

I accept that actually, because even if beyond it God wasn't to "proven" to exist, that is irrelevant to the fact that it is a beautiful belief to hold about humanity my question though Iron is, could you enter the Kingdom of Heaven without knowledge explicitly of Christ and his life?
