matersfish responded to a discussion called How does homosexuality be a choice? in religion.

It's a choice because scripture says it's unnatural. Someone's god has to be perfect, lest it's not god. So a god cannot make someone homosexual and then say it's wrong. It would be too glaring a contradiction to ignore (unlike the others which are ignored). So that's it. Countless studies come out showing the results from experiments dealing with sexual behavior. They are meticulously ...

matersfish responded to a discussion called That the universe proves God is actually a very illogical argument in religion.

The idea of "god" has been positioned as such that it cannot interact with anything we know of, even though it is supposedly in constant interaction. It has the perfect shield. Can't find it? You're not supposed to. Oh, you did find it personally? It came to you. You don't see it? Perhaps you aren't looking. And on and on and on... The problem with a concept is that it's anything yo...

I constantly see people attempting to say that atheism is dogmatic and is basically a religion, that it takes "faith" to NOT believe in something. lol I agree that some of the hardcore atheists out there who take their stance to spite religion do paint atheism in a bad way. But they're certainly a minority. And let's be real about things here and stop placating religious people. Atheists are...

"What I find nonsensical is getting worked up about something if you don’t really believe it. Getting that worked up makes me wonder if maybe there is a speck of belief. If so, perhaps more investigating should be done." Now I'm starting to believe again that you're not even trying to read what I'm saying. I get "worked up," as you call it, because religious people try to control the dam...

@ Both: "That is exactly how I see the scientific view." "Believe what you want to believe" Yeah. No doubt. Evidence vs. faith. It's the same stuff any way you slice it. Religion has one way to look at everything. That's it. That's all she wrote. So good luck with all that. One might think I'm trying to be a little patronizing here, but I'm not. I'm truly happy if you're...

Just end with your conclusion and you can save a lot of typing. It all comes back to a Bible verse with you. That's fine with me. But the nonsense you list is not what science is. Those aren't my personal standards. That's just the thing. Opinion does not make science. Science is a method. That these "acoustic" theories of Genesis have been tested or w/e the hell they're talking a...

"No, seriously, Matersfish, we creationists are only demanding that in education our belief should be taken seriously as a scientific theory" If you are truly a PhD in biochemistry as you claim, then you already know why "creation" isn't SCIENTIFIC. I don't even need to say anything on the subject. Redhotpogo -- I'm glad. I give you credit for that. I would also never walk into a church t...

Yes. I get that. But you're making an argument for or against all marriage, not just gay marriage. Some straight couples can't procreate. Adoption? Okay. Gay people can too. They can raise a family. I'm sure there are more logical reasons to bring up than the procreation aspect, as not everyone is able to procreate. So what are the other purposes?

@ Mike: I have no clue either. We won the space race, perhaps by cheating a little bit, and we've seemed to be going the opposite way since. I obviously wasn't alive when the country was formed, but I'm willing to bet that there's a larger percentage of uber-worshiping individuals in government now than there's ever been. Religion is everywhere here! I grew up in a religious family, so it doesn...

Scary sh*t that HIGH SCHOOL kids don't even know the evolutionary theory that other 3rd grade kids are caught. The questions they have are thoroughly answered if the f'n teachers would simply TEACH! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0fPDnjZpz0&feature=related
