Science a GoGo's Home Page Forums General Discussion Not-Quite-Science Forum How Many

That answers the question I asked, somewhere in these many threads, "Why would someone choose to debate a subject about which he knows nothing?"

And more importantly, when confronted with evidence of ignorance, makes a conscious decision to maintain that ignorance rather than step from the darkness into the light.

Well there you go.

Indeed my comments have been, and are, for both sides of this argument. But it is the greater endeavor that resists temptation with kindness.

Daniel 4
Therefore, O king, be pleased to accept my advice: Renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed. It may be that then your prosperity will continue.

Proverbs 11
A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.

1 Thessalonians 5
Hold them all in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

OGGOB this may come as a shock to you but this is a science forum.

If you wish to quote religious scripture why don't you quote from the Q'ran and Bhagavad-gita.

However as long as you like biblical quotes here's one for you.

Genesis 19:8
" Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof."

Perhaps you can explain why you trust in a book that considers it good to give virgins to a mob to be raped.

DA Morgan,
Why don't you try to understand the context of the event. You know, who was inside of the house, who the people outside of the house were...what the demands of hospitality towards one guest called for, etc... before you open your mouth and continue to look even more foolish.

I understand perfectly well the context.

Are you saying that the definition of what is moral changed? What was good then is now evil? That ethics are situational? That perhaps next year the political climate will once again make it permissible to rape virgins?

Well at least we now know where you stand on the matter and I do feel so foolish. ROFLOL!

...where does it say they would RAPE the virgins? Tell me Morg, why do you feel the need to ad to the text?

Are you that insecure?

Then again you seemed to lie when you claimed you understand the context....why is that? Do you thrive on lying?

Your foolishness level is increasing rapidly.

Trilobyte now asks:
"...where does it say they would RAPE the virgins?"

When hours before he wrote:
"Why don't you try to understand the context of the event."

Which is it? Your statements can not be reconciled. How does the petard feel?

(the last was a reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet I hope all will recognize). ROFLOL!

Bumped for DA Morgan to answer the question.

Which question?
