JFAH: My reason for pointing Homosexuality is to give some deprived people a voice. As you can see I got attacked immediately I mentioned it. |

Truthman83: Deprived people you say? So homosexuality was the first deprived thing that conveniently popped into your head and seems to be the most weighty on your mind. Thats all I have to say. Enjoy ur chat |

Truthman83:Well I sort of noticed. LBGTQ is not totally unproblematic anywhere in the world, but its fairly well accepted in most of Europe. And it is unlikely you would get a problem in that arena. |

JFAH:if a person is a thief, liar, murderer it is a personal matter not your concern fa? |

sonofthunder: Actually, if a person is a thief and a murderer, it is the concern of the state which has laws laid down to deal with such social vices. If a person is a liar, well it's actually a personal matter, so long as the person's lies don't affect me negatively/are not with intent to commit a crim/felony, in which case it is also the concern of the state, not mine. 1 Like |

sonofthunder: In what regard would any of those things have to do with LBGTQ questions, or atheism which happens to be the topic? |

naijadeyhia:No. I didn't forgot anything. The definition is not broader than I said. Various people which where brought up in religious settings have arrived at atheism in various ways, thats is true, but there is quite a few people that never where theists to begin with. I have essentially never in any way, shape or form been religious, and have never been in religious settings. So I didn't really arrive at being an atheist. I always was. Religion is a cultural thing. The best predictor for what religion you happen to get is what society you are growing up in. If you happen to grow up in primarily muslim country you very likely end up being muslim. If you're living in a christian country, you will likely end up christian, the same for hindu or Buddhist or any other religion which happens to dominate your living quarters. Sure, its not true for every single individual, but on average the correlation is obvious. What I mean when I say that science in itself have no actual bearing on the belief in super natural entities is that science in itself don't have the goal, nor the capacity, to disprove or prove a super natural entity. Sure it doesn't help the christian faith, all in all, that we can reduce genesis to nothing for instance, nor does it help that we can trace the mythology all the way back through Egyptian cultures to the Sumerian times. Nor does it help that we have a fair grasp of the expansion of the universe back to a Planck length after big bang. But technically it could exist super natural beings hidden somewhere in the gaps of knowledge that we have. No, the real clincher is the absence of evidence for a supernatural entity at all. After all; if it is suggested that such an entity exists, i would expect solid evidence for it, but no such things are found, I therefore default to not accepting the proposition of a supernatural being. 6 Likes 6 Shares |

JFAH: Young man fear God! That is the best advice I could give to you. Do not deny He who created you. Stop being ungrateful as you are on your way to hell. Be warned before it becomes too late. |
