"your post reeks of intolerance of other opinions" -annonymous

And your inability to sign your name speaks volumes about your character.
You could insert the picture of the horse here I know and I deserve it but seriously...good or bad sign your name. I didn't post my opinions without everyone knowing who wrote them, nor would I.
 
You're quoting a letter from Paul to Timothy. Ok, so Paul believes the scriptures were inspired by God. I can find people that say it wasn't. That proves nothing.

It proves nothing to you...Tigerhoops said it well in a previous post. It all comes down to faith. If you don't have faith that the Bible is the inspired word of God, no one will ever be able to prove to you that it is. I know I certainly can't.
 
Tale? The flood can be proved. How would you explain the fossilized remains of marine life that have been found on top of EVERY major mountain range in the world?

Someone may have already responded to this, but you explain fossilized remains on mountaintops through plate tectonics. It's a widely accepted geologic theory for explaining the formation of mountains, the cause of earthquakes and how continents and oceans change over time.
 
I think we as a society have continuously moved the bar on wht we are willing to "judge" as right or wrong.

I agree wholeheartedly, but in the other direction. I think our society is moving the bar to totalitarianism, defining what people can and can't do with their personal lives. Not the other way around. There is censorship across the board. Our private lives are exposed to everyone now. And I believe the Minority is controlling the Majority. Just look at the FCC, they get a couple of complaints and there is drastic changes made in legislation because a boob was shown for 1 second.
 
I'm a christian, and I believe that homosexuality is wrong. But so are so many things I do in my life. I'm no better or no worse.

But since I am a christian, I've gotta say that I don't believe gay couples should be able to get married or adopt. Hate me if you want, but I'm a christian. God has written about this. And you either have to be the ENTIRE bible, or NONE of it.

This is strictly a question I have because of my ignorance. I have never read the whole bible, but I am curious, where does it say that God is against same sex marriages?

Likewise I know I'll never change your mind either. You're right, it comes down to beliefs that can't be proven. We probably agree on more than we disagree when it comes to religion even if we have different opinions on the interpretation of the Bible. I've enjoyed the civil discussions on the topic on this thread. I usually avoid religious discussions on forums because they usually turn ugly. It's nice to be able to exchange intelligent informed opinions without personal attacks.

I agree - we tivo'd the boob and even going frame by frame, we could hardly see more than a pink blur with some metal thing sticking through it. I think the government needs to back off and let people do what they want with their lives - as long as it isn't putting other people at risk.

This is a whole different discussion that I could have here. Legislation and government control are waaaaaay out of control.

What? You don't think a boob will turn us all into sex-crazed maniacs that'll clamor in the streets? Don't you think our kids will bleed out of their eyes and immediately have a lower set of morals and self respect?

Personally, when I see a boob, I giggle like a school girl. :rolleyes5cz:

A little boobage here and there a'int gonna hurt no one! However, a word to all parents out there who don't want their kids watching porn. Be careful fo renting movies On Demand from Mediacom. We paused a movie (The Matador) to go to the bathroom get some drinks before proceeding and while we were out of the room, the 'movie' comes back on. But instead of being The Matador, it was some dude going down on some girl in a bathtub. Couldn't get the pause, play, stop, rewind, fastforward or even the volume buttons to work for nearly 10 minutes. THAT is what people should be worried about. Not a rainbow colored flag on a cartoon.
 
You know I am really dissapointed. We are 148 posts on this thread about cartoons and religion and no one has talked about the old scooby doo(before the puppy) before I posted long ago or since. I'm really starting to get bummed.

I don't believe in evolution and it looks like every argument I could make has been made, and in most cases one heck of a lot better then I could. I agree with the post about if evolution was true then we would see some half man half monkeys running around. Would Bigfoot count? ha ha. Then I read the post asking where Hawkeyes fit into evolution and I think "they might be the half man half monkey asked about in the prior post and they do full body shaves twice a week. That could really explain a lot fellow Cyclone fans. Makes me mad to because this would be the first inkling of truth to evolution that I have seen in my entire life. Go figure.

Seriously though folks, great arguments on both sides and nothing but respect shown. Rep for all y'all if I could

I've had a similar experience. When I was 13, a friend and I went on a vacation with my parents to Omaha. We ordered a movie on TV at the hotel we were staying at. We thought we were gonna see The Rocketeer, but much to our surprise and confusion, we were watching Ron Jeremy perform auto fellatio a few minutes later.

Needless to say, I'm still scarred by this incident.

Because at one point, all those mountain ranges were at or below sea level. Tetetonic Plate movements made the mountains.

Closest I've ever come to that was expecting to see The Little Mermaid in the theaters, but instead sleeping through one of the Godfather movies.....Bummer.
 
The Bible is a document containing 66 chapters written by as many as 40 authors over the course of 1500 years, yet it is consistent from beginning to end.

I'm sorry, it is not always consistent. You only have to look at the story of Jesus being anointed by oil before his entrance into Jerusalem (since this is the Lenten season). Some authors speak of his feet being washed others say that it's his head. We have to face the fact that the scripture is not always consistent. That does not invalidate the major lessons, but it also means that we have to accept that it is not a document to be taken literally in its entirety.
