Steve, you wrote: Also, if a man slept with a girl who was not a prostitute, nor yet betrothed or married, it was not really a situation of "wam bam thank you m`am". He had to marry her and make the arrangement honorable. In fact, such an arrangement represents the only marriage, according to the la...

Six - day Creation, theistic evolution, billions of years, thousands of years. Frankly I don`t know what to make of it. But here`s my recommended antidote to the whole confusing mess: http://www.answersingenesis.org/media/video/ondemand/seeing-eye/seeing-eye Delivered with great easy-going humour by...

Hi Steve, Your answer does deal well with the theoretical scenario I mentioned regarding two possibly offend ing parties. But the first combination leaves me bemused as to the rightness of the situation before the offend ed party. I don`t understand why the wife of the extra-maritally behaving man h...

On Sunday, Steve, you quoted Hume, Nietzsche and (perhaps) Dawkins as admitting that religion was unacceptable to them because it inhibited their sex lives. If you could provide references to where they said or wrote that, it would be really appreciated. Fascinating. (I ask not for my own titivation...

I am in (unwittingly rather) a brief discourse with someone on youtube about Catholicism. I`d normally let it go but my wife is Catholic and I really owe it to her to at least think about this. To quote the person: 2 Thesalonians 2:15 teaches us to follow tradition. It's mentioned again in 3:6. Ther...
