Dear Alan,Are you saying without Christianity we would still be throwing people to the lions. Bold!! heroic!! or just plain crazy. Gonnagle.
Just that I prefer to put my trust in God rather than human nature.
Then you could well be up the creek without a paddle, if the nature of the deity is anything like the Biblical description of it! It hasn't done your friend Becky and favours has it?
No, no, that you can't do! I wouldn't be able to read what you say then!I had another TIA last week - I wonder how many TIAs add up to a final something?! fortunately I'm very fit otherwise.
Dear Susan and Leonard,Go on admit it, you love us Christian types, your guilty secret.Gonnagle.
Dear Shaker,Unevidenced, what!! that we can be more, Einstein, Kipling, Mozart, Beethoven, Blake, Bowie, the list is endless, there is your evidence.

That's evidence of human intelligence and creativity, though, Gonners, not evidence of a supernatural being.
Dear ippy,In very simplistic terms, one Christian chewing the fat with another Christian.We may be very different Christians, Christians come in many flavours, but I understand when he mentions John 1:1, it probably means nothing to you, but it resonates with me, Christian thing, and yes we are a very weird lot.Gonnagle.
As Pontius Pilate said:So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews'; but that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." John 19:21-22
In the undefined, the unseen, undemonstrated, unevidenced over the palpably real.Faith in action I guess
Gonners, my friend, I hope you are not suggesting that the people you mention are evidence of God/Jesus! They are just people, like you and me.
But this "infection" as you call it has defined much of the civilised society we live in today. Is there any alternative society without a Christian heritage where you would prefer to live? Or try to imagine what sort of society our inherently self centred human ancestors would have developed without the contraints of Christian teachings and morality? Would the summit of human entertainment be the modern equivalent of the gory spectacles performed in the colliseum in Rome?
Dear Leonard,Yes they are just people, but they have touched God ( whatever God is ) and in touching God they make us touch God, but then it is my own little theory that there is, inside of all of us, a Einstein, Mozart, Kipling.And yes Leonard, evidence, a small part of the evidence that we are more.How can evolution explainhttp://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/joseph-mallord-william-turner-the-fighting-temeraireHauntingly beautiful.Gonnagle.
Evolutionary aesthetics refers to evolutionary psychology theories in which the basic aesthetic preferences of Homo sapiens are argued to have evolved in order to enhance survival and reproductive success.[62] One example being that humans are argued to find beautiful and prefer landscapes which were good habitats in the ancestral environment. Another example is that body symmetry is an important aspect of physical attractiveness which may be due to this indicating good health during body growth. Evolutionary explanations for aesthetical preferences are important parts of evolutionary musicology, Darwinian literary studies, and the study of the evolution of emotion.
Dear Leonard,From wikiOkay old chum, it has me thinking.Gonnagle.
Whatever happens to Becky, I know she is safely in God's hands. Her faith has inspired many people including myself and her husband, Andrew, who confesses to being a luke warm Christian before he met Becky.
AB,So let's take a step back - do you know what "logical fallacy" means?
