"I have a bible, I have job, interested? No , NEXT!!" gotta try this one

@bigtakeshi Science also says God is a lie. Who runs science? What is their agenda?

My empirical evidence of God being 100% real, proves to me that science is lying.

Big Pharma sells highly addictive toxic drugs, proven be the cause of many suicides - why do they do that if science is so 'honorable' ? Why are they even needing to be forced to mark the packs with warning messages?

Science is whatever it's paymasters pay it to be.

[bigtakeshi]

@IdaSputum Absolutely they're real otherwise science would say different.

[IdaSputum]

@bigtakeshi are they real? Do they exist beyond being a means by which to contrive employment for psychologists? Teens need more sleep than adults but they love getting busy when awake.

[bigtakeshi]

I'm curious what Driscoll would say to Donald Miller, who didn't get married until he was 39, because he wanted to wait and have a successful career before delving into marriage.  I don't think he wants to have kids either. What do some of you think?

[bigtakeshi]

@IdaSputum that's great, but that doesn't answer my question. What I mean is is Driscoll saying that we should avoid/not discuss aspects adolescent development like, for example, that takes longer for men to develop responsibility? That young men will struggle with identity, depression, and anxiety? Are those aspects of adolescenct development unbiblical?

[PJBearstein]

Driscoll, this sermon drips of synergism. So take a laxative to clear out your insides, the shit is backing up to your pea sized brain. Produce one Scripture that explicitly say "marriage and children now save you." It is obvious you are obsessed with women and sex.

[Thenewfallingsacred]

@IdaSputum - I absolutely agree with that but no one is perfect and some people are too broken to even try to be decent. It would be nice if there were more good guys out there in the world but there are more than enough bad ones.

[IdaSputum]

@bigtakeshi you say - "Is Driscoll saying adolescence is unbiblical, despite what psychological development tells us?"

What does "psychological development" tell us? WHAT?

Stop being arrogant, playing dumb games, using women for sex, wanking to porn, - be a real man.

[IdaSputum]

@Thenewfallingsacred Useless moaning self-justifying cowardly users are a pain to women.

[bigtakeshi]

I'm not a super huge Driscollite or follower so-to-speak, so can someone help me out here. Is Driscoll saying adolescence is unbiblical, despite what psychological development tells us? I mean, I agree that if some guy's in his mid 30s and is just living on his mother's couch and mooching than that's just really stupid, but I'm curious if Driscoll is saying that all men should essentially be like him. Marry young, start a career, get married, have kids?
