From your article: "He knew that people cannot change their beliefs at will. We can’t muscle our mind into believing something we take to be false, not even when the upside is an eternity of happiness." You have already conceded that belief in not a conscious choice. Own it and move on. Your theology is morally bankrupt. This is not news, and deserves to be mocked whenever this religion of yours is touted as a source of morality and goodness. Belief does not makes things true, be it a million dollars in the bank or some sort of eternal sycophantic fantasy. What is glaringly obvious to me is your inability to demonstrate that your beliefs are an accurate description of reality. I expect that to continue. | |

| Re: Do you believe in God,Heaven or Hell? Actually, what nowadays are considered as children used to be thought of as adults. For an example girls were considered ready for marriage, ie adult life, when they started menstruating. That is in the region of 10 to 12 years old. The same is true for all the other mammals on this planet. We however have decided that this is not proper and have randomly selected a number to represent the instant in which we suddenly change from children to adults. |

Girls could be betrothed and even married at a very young age, but the marriage wouldn't be consummated before the onset of puberty. | |

So do you have any proof that your beliefs are founded in any more reality then any other religion?

Are you suggesting that the age of consent should be in the 10-12 year old range? | |

Where I live the who-you-can-have-sex-with boundary is a bit fuzzy. Now the legal limit is 16. But if you are younger you can do it with everything up to 16 years old. If you are older then everything 16 or over is considered legal. At 16 you can pick what ever you want. BUT ( <= that is a big but BTW) there is such a thing as "mental age" thrown in the mix too. Only if the two persons are of comparable mental age is it legal. I have no clue as to how this mental age is calculated so I have always kept to girls/women who are about the same age as me. What is really twisted about all this is that people under 18 cannot watch themselves having sex. That would be concidered child pornography and as such illegal. If you have cctv at your house and just happen to make out with your girlfriend in shot then it is illegal for anyone to watch that footage. Even for yourself. Imagine the court case on that. But we have several different ages when we are considered to be old enough for different things. At 15 you are accountable for your actions in front of the law. Before that it's your parents or guardian. At 18 you can have a driving licence and you can buy mild alcohol. At 21 you can get a licence to drive semi trucks and you can get the good stuff at the off licence. You used to be able to buy tobacco at the age of 16 but that got changed to 18. Enough about this sex thing and more proof of which religion is the correct one. And why all the others are false. | ||
