@Tatarize For this discussion to proceed any further, you need to read more of both Scripture and orthodox Christian theology. It seems like you've read a whole lot of what other atheists have said about it. But you're so sure that it's not true (and maybe you're right) that you don't seem to hav...

I don't like this at all. Pixar's losing its touch.

Thanks for the nice biology pictures. I'm still waiting for that credible argument, Alraera.

Thumbs up if you're here for BITH 111. Thanks, Dr. Ryken!

With all those familiar names in the opening credits, I'd expect this to feel a lot more like The Lord of the Rings.

I feel sorry for this guy. He wants to be a Christian minister, yet he also wants to hold on to his gay identity. Problem is, he can only do one of those things right. I'd be curious to know his arguments for the biblical defensibility of homosexual activity.

@Darkbison7 I guess I'm confused about what you mean when you say that "unconditional love does not first check the genitalia of another person." That sounds like "if you don't feel sexually attracted to both genders, your love is too conditional." Maybe I just read you wrong.

@Darwinsman What you specifically said was "his death didn't even do anything for christians other than tie them to a guilt ridden form of mental slavery." That's simply not true in any but the most abusive forms of Christianity.

It's a shame that the people have historically killed in the nam...

After Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword just looks like a big step backwards stylistically. Maybe I'm wrong, and the actual content will improve upon what we've seen from recent Zelda games. But really, do we need to revert back to the visual capacities of the GameCube in 2011?

@mwilson70201 Ouch, I'm sorry that you've experienced this. I've never seen it, but my exposure to Calvinism has been almost exclusively to the more academic R.C. Sproul/D.A. Carson/John MacArthur variety that thrives at least in here in the upper Midwest as opposed to a more aggressive, liscenio...

@swordmaster800 No one can answer, because no one claims that it does. He answers this question because Christians want to know how Christians should view sexual ethics. Period. Not so that they can picket (though some, unfortunately, do). Not because they feel personally offended by homosexual a...

Oh, Dr. Ryken... I meet with this guy at 7:45 am twice a week, every week. Possibly the most inscrutable man I've ever met, but a really great individual and possibly greater English teacher, once you figure him out :)
