Ok....maybe I was wrong....
it's one....of the worst mistakes in history...oh well...can't do anything about it now...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I can perfectly happy and live with that mistake, because you can't please everyone in the world, but if that mistake make a lot of people happy then be with it
π: 0 β©: 1
Meth makes people happy.....doesn't mean you should live with it
π: 0 β©: 2
Meth also leads to tooth decay, as well as pretty much everything else decay. I don't see your point.
π: 0 β©: 1
Just becuase it makes someone happy doesn't mean it's right. Most of the time, the thing that makes you happy is slowly destroying you. There were no homosexuals in the colonial days...so when one person decides they want to be different, it produces a popcorn effect. Bonobos also throw crap, let me guess you're gonna do that to?

There were homosexuals in the Hellenistic Era, though. Like Achilles and Patroclus, two protagonists in The Illiad. Don't think you know all of history.
π: 0 β©: 1
No one knows all of history
π: 0 β©: 1
Nobody does, but you're claiming homosexuality is a recent development, so I told you about the Hellenistic era where that kind of stuff was common, and look! They made empires with vast quantities of wealth, and structures that stand to this day! People having a problem with homosexuality is a more recent development than homosexuality ever was.
π: 0 β©: 1
No no no! That's not what I meant!Β
I meant it was recently legalized.

I don't think it was ever Illegal per-se, just that the term "Marriage" was made specific to a man and a woman due to some hairbrained act passed by Clinton. You could marry, but the law wouldn't recognize it nor give you any benefits.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well..back in the 70's a man marrying a man was un heard of...now look at 2016
π: 0 β©: 1
Back in the 70's allowing chinese people to vote was unheard of too.
π: 0 β©: 1
but that had a purpose *a retarded one at that*
but what's the point of being homosexual?Β
you can tell something is wrong when it doesn't produce when it's supposed to.
π: 0 β©: 1
So humans are just machines made to reproduce? Then what's the point of storytelling and entertainment, or personality at all?
I'm just saying that what you're implying is that if women don't spend all their time pregnant, they're wasting their lives.
π: 0 β©: 1
No...that's not what I meant.
i meant that marriage has a purpose.
its like trying to plug in a cord, but they are both the same. It's pointless.
if you're going to marry someone at least marry them the way it was intended to be.
π: 0 β©: 1
So somebody who isn't a virgin can't wear white? (Because that's why that is)
And marriage nowadays is mostly for the government to recognize that two people are a couple who are reliably going to live together for a long time, so bills and taxes become easier to manage. That being said, if we want to go to the old way of marrying people, I don't think you have nearly enough money to buy a man's daughter from them. (Because that's how that was.) For two people to be considered legally together no matter whatever two is what the new legal re-definition of marriage is about. After all, love is love.
π: 0 β©: 1
So how come it wasn't like this from the very beginning?
π: 0 β©: 1
It was. It was the Roman Empire who enforced otherwise, due to their struggling population numbers at points. That law made homosexuality a social taboo, for no other reason than it was convenient to accuse politicians of it. This became perpetuated in the Bible, and was a convenient weapon for politicians for centuries.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm talking about from the very start.
π: 0 β©: 1
Of humanity or of life? Because original life reproduced via mitosis. (Sex with itself.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait...you believe in evolution...
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait, you seriously believe something just popped us on earth? Something occurred from nothing?
Whoa boy, we're in for a ride now aren't we...
π: 0 β©: 1
I could say the same about you.
do you really think a piece of space dust spontaneously exploded, and magically created the earth?
we all have our own beliefs, and I was just asking you a question.
geez.
and nothing just popped us here on the earth, we have a purpose herE!
π: 0 β©: 1
And apparently that purpose is to make animals go extinct and fuck up the atmosphere. According to Edwin Hubble's observations, all of the extrasolar objects we can see appear to be moving away from us, consistent with an explosion. That's how the big bang theory came into being, that if all of these objects are moving away from us, they all had to be much closer to us at some point in time. Similarly, amino acids have been shown to form under early-earth environments when exposed to electricity, known as the miller-urey experiment, which explains exactly how simple, early life was formed.
π: 0 β©: 1
*sigh* actually our purpose was to multiply and have dominion over the earth, BUT sin came into the world and that's why we do what we do.
thats why people are homosexual
thats why we die
thats why people are getting sick
thats why we are messing up the atmosphere
thats why animals are going extinctΒ
and that's why u and me are having this conversation.
π: 0 β©: 1
So we're getting sick because some of us are eating lobster and crab, like Leviticus 11:10 forbids? Or is that not a sin anymore? Because a lot of things that are being preached now as being sins are pretty different to the things in the bible. I mean, are you sure we don't get sick because of contaminated food/water or an unbalanced diet, lack of exercise, viral or bacterial infection, aging, genetic deformations or uninhabitable environments? Because if not then that's hundreds of years of medical science that's just been wasted by a 1875 year old book written by some likely starved guys in the desert who wouldn't live to see 40. I mean, it's not like those same principles of science, experimentation, observation, inference and implementation are the reason why we can even have this discussion, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Leviticus is in the Old Testament, and when Jesus died *and rose again* the New Testament was created.
after that we didnt have to offer burnt sacrifices, we could eat pork/lobster, ect.
i also listed sickness caused by sin..that also includes foodborne
ILLNESSES.
in case you haven't noticed *you problably never will you poor soul*
God wrote the bible through man
Β before the flood, people lived to be over 800 yrs old
Long story short everything negative that we have today is a result of sin...your making loop holes.
π: 0 β©: 1
I mean, there've been other books written by gods through men as well; the start of the Iliad is a prayer to... Athena, was it? to bring a testimony from the trojan war. During that fight all sorts of holy acts occurred. Yet you don't see us praying to Achilles... Besides, I don't see a biblical passage about bacteria or radiation, and how come God's never healed an amputee?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, but there is one thing that No one's god has ever done.
Our *one and true* God sent his son to die for us! There is no other religious god that has died for his people.Β
God has a way of doing things...God lets bad things happen to us so we can be taught a lesson.Β
Sometimes it's because he has something better for you, so you might lose your job, but later get a better one!
these are called trials, but no matter which one you go through...he will always see you through it.
so God is capable of healing amputees *heck he's capable of any and everything* but the reason why he doesn't is none of my business!
it depends on who it is tho
π: 0 β©: 1
He sent a dude who claimed he was his son to die for us, but I'm fairly certain he hasn't healed a single amputee, that and I'm also fairly certain that Jesus and his followers were basically the world's oldest fanfiction. That, and you can lose your job, and not get another one. God doesn't see us through trials, we do, and for those of us who don't, who die to things like cancer or childhood disease, what has god got for them? The whole idea of "Heaven" sounds completely asinine anyways.
π: 0 β©: 1
Β Jesus is not a "dude" he is the son of God and your savior. If I were you, I would at least have a little respect for him
You really don't think God has healed at least one amputee in a span of over 2,000 years? WOW
Β Yeah...the bible isn't a fan-fiction it's just as real as you and me. It is possible that you can lose your job and not get another one, but it all has a purpose. I never said that if you lose your job you always get another one.
God DOES see us through trials
the reason why you are breathing is because of him, it's why you woke up this morning, it's why you have the activity of your limbs. Therefore he does deliver us through trials and tribulations
the one thing that you don't understand is that you belong to God. It's his life to take. Now just because he can take it, doesn't mean he does it just because. Like I said it all has a purpose. That's why suicide is still murder, it wasn't your life to take.
ok then...if people don't go to heaven and hell...where do they go hmm?

He ain't saved me from anything yet. I can link everything that's happened to me through the works of man, inspired by artwork, dedication, and tragedy. That being said, people go into the ground, or into urns if they're cremated. There literally is nothing else there. I woke up this morning because my hypothalamus decided "Okay, we're ready to go!" and I have activity in my limbs because my nerves send small electrical signals that cause my muscles to tense up. I'm not anybody's property, if I had a soul, I know that it wouldn't go to either option. I refuse to be owned, I belong to myself, and anybody whose trying to tell me that my actions are not my own are either lying, gullible, or on something that you buy from shady fellows in dark alleyways.
Motherfucker, I do what I want with my life, ain't no holy person gonna stop me from getting where I want to go. I know what I've seen, and I can draw my conclusions from where I've been and what I've seen, and none of it looks like some invisible slavemaster making me do shit.
π: 0 β©: 1
*sigh* well why are you expecting to be saved from something if you don't want to be saved? That makes absolutely no sense.
ok then... Let me ask you this question! Who made you hypothalamus, your nerves, and you. Do you really think humans and animals were created by chance? Heck no! If only you understood how carefully we were designed and created, you would know that only a God could have done this. It's not your body that goes somewhere, it's your soul
when somebody makes a sculpture, is it not theirs? God is an artist, we are his art *in a figurative way* God won't MAKE you do anything, it's all your choice. You make your own decisions, but he is the reason why you are still living. And that's your problem you only go by what you see, isn't that why God said "walk by faith, and not by sight"?
and I won't make you do anything either, I'm just telling you the truth, besides you are the one who started this conversation about man's origin.
π: 0 β©: 1
Millenia-long evolution. Makes sense. You roll the dice enough times over the course of an endless, eternal universe, and you're bound to come up with life at least once somewhere. Humans didn't come from absolutely nothing, we came from a common ancestor with chimpanzees, who in turn came from another ancestor and another over the course of millions of years. It wasn't that humans suddenly BECAME from nothing, it was that a very simple reaction showed signs of being able to replicate itself. Rome was not built in a day, it was laid brick-by-brick, and so was humanity, or any kind of creature. It was not that every single moment of our existence was significant, to assume that is insane, but we can instead look towards those single moments in thousands of years that lead to significantly different species.

Ah, but if you look at the bones that are dug up, they aren't all in order. If humanity changed over the course of time, in one layer we would see a monkey, the next layer it would be slightly different, and so on and so forth. God caused a world wide flood which pretty much killed everything except Noah, his family, and the animals he stored on his ark. So everything that got killed was scattered throughout the land. And what did researchers find? They find a zebra here, and monkey over there, and a snake here an there.
i know I didn't come from nothing. God created everything that exists today! Like I said God is like an artists...before the earth was created God was literally sitting there in darkness, and was actually quite lonely. Since God was lonely he got creative, and all he had to say was "let there be light" and then it was. Creation was also built in a certain period of time, God created, and created for 6 days then rested on the sabbath. And that's why we have Saturday!

The fossil record is pretty complete, dude. Before cro magnon man, there was homo habilus, homo erectus, homo ergaster, homo heidelbergensis, etc. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_ev⦠) And then there were also all of those australopithecus fossils, and the calcium and strontium dating on those fossils do line up chronologically. And we only have a 7 day week because it lines up nicely with work, the french established a 10 day week for a time with a one day weekend and there were riots among the working class due to having every 10th day off instead of every 7th, due to labor conditions.
Besides, you're making claims without citing anything. It is true that we find common ancestors in a lot of different places, but landmasses move, climates change, and species migrate. Of course you're going to find duck fossils all over the place, they can die at any point in their migratory pattern! Besides that, who's the first human we know the name of, and how long ago was it? (How old do you think the earth is?)
π: 0 β©: 1
The name of the first human was Adam...and then eve..and that's what I meant about why wasn't it like this from the very beginning..
hmm why don't you watch this?
m.youtube.com/watch?v=wvO3zJaNβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
How long ago was it? Answer my question...
π: 0 β©: 1
HOW LONG AGO WAS THE FIRST HUMAN BORN? IN WHAT AGE? HOW MANY YEARS AGO DID HE LIVE?!?!
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok ok calm down...geez
adam wasn't born God raised him from the dust, and breathed the breath of life into him, and he was a full grown man. Eve wasn't born but was created from one of Adam's rib bone.
π: 0 β©: 1
You still haven't answered my question. WHEN WAS THAT? HOW MANY YEARS AGO?
π: 0 β©: 1
estimated: about 6,000 yrs ago
π: 0 β©: 1
In China, there's ancient writing dating back to 6,600-6.200 BC, 2,600-2,200 years before your estimate, that archaeologists call "Jiahu Script." Humans named in the time you were talking about would be named phrases, not simply "Adam" and "Eve" and anybody named before Sumeric Text would just label their own belongings with engraved symbols that represented them without an actual "name" to be spoken.
So, given naming systems of the time via historic dated "text," the time and names of your first humans contradict the evidence. I would now ask you about the races of such "two" beginning humans and how their family did not have genetic disorders as a result of inbreeding, but you're more likely to believe ancient written evidence instead of genetics.

And someone else sent me a message with your icon...so please forget what I said
π: 0 β©: 1
So what did you intend to say?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the world isn't millions and billions of years old
and it's not only 2,000 years...
and your icon was the same as someone else'sΒ

Why do you say the world isn't so old? We know how mountains and valleys form, and we have seen the slow passage of time wear both down. The grand canyon is severely deeper than it was when the spaniards documented it all those years ago.
What would you have to gain in believing the earth is so young, or that an all-seeing and all-knowing being made a creature in its image, only for that creature to have severe biological weaknesses in comparison to almost everything else?
Also, if all life were created simultaneously and spontaneously, does that mean that Adam and Eve had the first STDs? or each of them had the first of each human-based parasite? Did Adam have a tapeworm? What about the species that we've seen evolve into new ones in the span of scientific observation, like Coywolves?
