He wouldn't. Giving something glory/recognition is more different to merely 'feeling good'. God does not need glory from humans to feel good; he deserves glory because of who he is, not because he is dependent on us. 1. Incorrect, firstly, the issue with the notion of 'burden of proof' is it...

Ok skimming the list briefly, most of those are only contradictions/problems if you take a shallow surface reading of the text or stuff out of context. So a little bit dishonest there. Consider this one as an typical example of this kind: GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation. GE 6:5-6...

Putting aside that the last sentence doesn't make much sense (probably grammar). Conscious thoughts and decisions are influenced by both the current and previous experiences; including other conscious thoughts (otherwise logic / reason would not be coherent or exist). It is not necessarily true...

Nope the article was to address the specifics of what you said, to show the presence of lots of oxygen in the atmosphere does not necessitate the existence of humans. In fact this is the quote I was addressing: But as the presence of oxygen does not even necessitate that humans exist. Humans...

Meaningless to you because you don't believe in him... you don't agree with my rationale, you don't consider the evidence that I consider. But lets answer your questions regardless "How does the existence of humans bring glory to god?" - "By creating tiny, flawed, insignificant little...

It is ignorant to say that religious discrimination doesn't exist. Although I agree the right to hold their beliefs is under threat (yet). But the actual point I was making is that LGBTIQ have all their legal rights, their next challenge to remove the 'oppressors' aka religious people. So it is...

No of course, I agree with you on generalities on views on those issues held by the different groups. I interpreted your comment particular the 'feelings' aspect in a particular way - it is worth noting that the same opinion can be formed by people with different experiences. I would disagree...

Putting aside the obvious that the actual physical acts are different. A lot of the differences are because of differences in gender/sex of the people involved in the relationship* For e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01541985 Two men interacting sexually is different from say...

Firstly, to add my comments on the 'slippery slope'. I don't think incest is the next rung, because relatively speaking incest won't really take off is because its relatively rare compared to homosexuality. The next battle if you like is on what it termed religious 'discrimination' or another...

Its probably not a helpful phrase for Christians to use because 'hate' means something very particular in this culture/day & age. There are other several loaded words that get dropped such as 'discrimination' (can there be such a thing as good discrimination? - I think yes and I can explain...

Despite what people may think, you will find that I agree with you on a lot of points. I agree that sexual orientation is not a matter of choice; but I also don't think that it is as fixed as people make it out to be. While you do eventually address this, again and this is a major point of...

broad brushstrokes you paint with. oh the irony.

and Thanks for your response. Whether or not it was my intention, I understand perfectly well that my view is offensive to some, and some see as 'hateful' (I'll address that later). Where we find agreement and common ground in recognising things like forcing someone to have sex (e.g. rape) or...

There is to be made a helpful distinction between homosexuality and homosexualism. Homosexuality: a condition of personal identity in which a person is sexually oriented toward persons of the same sex. Homosexualism: explicit and overt homosexual practice. The latter is what a lot of people...

Well one such method of justification not that i agree with it, is to take the approach that you have, show that there is no strong arguments against it. ergo as follows. 1. There is no strong argument against X 2. People want X to be legalised 3. From (1) and (2) there is no reason why not X...

1. Why humans exist - No I haven't, but this is the first time you've mentioned. This probably deserves a post on its own. For brevity, short answer - humans exist to the glory of God. Refer to the quotation at the bottom of this post...

Words like categorically better make no sense unless you qualify the standards by which we determine "what is better". Let me logically break down your argument: 1. The world is such a way that humans require oxygen and water. 2. If God exists he could have created it such that humans don't...

No I accept it accurate because it explains the world rightly and is consistent. See my previous post for such rationale. You don't, I do. That's a point of difference. Ah no, you can read of it, in the book which I doubt you have. So yes my analogy was not perfect. I don't mindlessly accept...

I would have to disagree with you on that; otherwise conversion from one belief system to another is an illusion; and you trying to argue with all the Muslims on the other threads that why Islam is wrong is pointless - clearly even you hold that you can convince someone . You presuppose a...

Hence my post from before. I don't see Hamas' response was effective because it gives justification for Israel to retaliate. And they have the capacity to come down hard on Hamas as we've seen.
