[mod hat]

Let's try to keep it a lot more civil or the thread is being closed. A debate on the morality of atheists is off topic, and any further posts will be edited out.

So, if marijuana were legalized as OTC medication, you would change your moral beliefs on the subject even though it doesn't change "God's word?" Isn't that to say that some morals lie OUTSIDE of the Bible? If so, then it is not so outrageous to presume that atheists CAN have morals.

Nobody claimed that you do. He asked a simple question, "What about...?" But, just like when you get defensive about your biblical morals vs. logical morals, you are getting defensive for no reason excpet that you fear everything as an attack against yourself.

Define "self-control," because as I see it, one can control themselves while enjoying sex. Beside that, is everything that YOU find disgusting immoral? It sounds to me like you are very self-consumed and close-minded to others' beliefs. Oh, right... You're a conservative. That's sort of implied.

Oops, sorry mod.

Well, perhaps it would be nice to see Magus FINALLY answer the damn question: Does God have nipples?

He hasn't done it yet, even though he's been asked (by me) to do so. I hear his favorite seafood dish is Red Herring

There's a thread somewhere in our archives called "Did God have a penis?" (or similar.) Oddly enough, it became a substantial thread- with, of course, plenty of the same sorts of jokes we see here.

I don't agree with Magus very often, but in this case I do. This thread is ridin' the ~Elsewhere~ express. Jobar.

Does G-d have nipples? Well, one of the Biblical names of G-d is El Shaddai, and we know what that means.

JohnKin79 · 02-26-2004, 02:55 PM

I think If there was a god, men's nipples would dispense root berr.

Arrogant much?

But it seems self-righteousness is alive and kicking.

Do I know you have morals? All I have to do is go to the secular forums and read threads on pornography, buying weed, enjoying filth like Howard stern, or not caring if children have sex to realize your morals are lacking, or you have a very liberal sense of morality.

Gee, thanks for lumping us all together. I already got flamed and all but called a presumptuous prick today for making the error of judging another non-believer's morals today, to which I apologized.

The only thing non-believers really share is non-belief, Magus/blt to go
What ever happened to love thy neigbor, thou shalt not judge, etc, ??

Plognark is correct - God is a spirit and has no form. He has no feet, hands, face or nipples, even though all are referred to in the Bible. [well, not ALL!, I'll let you guess which one is Not )

How, exactly, do you know spirit doesn't have nipples?

Jesus was a man and would have nipples.

Yes, but he would never have touched them!

However, God, while in spirit form, obviously can imagine nipples, since he gave them to so many creatures, not just man.

Yup, the old guy seems to be a real tit man. He's probably thinking about nipples right now.

After much wrestling, I have come to the belief that A&E did not have belly buttons. No umbilical cord--hence no belly button.

Umm...no umbilical cord - hence no human!

The better question is what does it mean "created in God's image." Can't be physical (see above. No Nipples for you.) Could be either mental (reasoning) or spiritual (soul) or a combination of both.

Well, I know I think about nipples a lot. I can imagine a nice set of nipples any time. That's something we've got in common.

1- God does not need us to defend him.

Well, then, what does he have to say about all that nipple-thinking he's been doing?

2- These guys do not need salvation. They know the Bible very, very well. We would state they are without excuse.

No; you could only say that we were "without excuse" if we knew the bible as well as we do and still believed in God.
