He led the charge to pull America back from being a bullying and torturing nation with no regard for human rights or the rule of law.

The reasoning is that if you access something once, you’re likely to access it again. Atom is close to a revelation about evolution. Quote Atom: Amazing Design. Natural Selection can carve a design like this yet can’t make a shorter recurrent laryngeal nerve in mammals? Something is amiss in that whole scenario. So close. The cognitive dissonance is there.

If I heard a voice from the sky ordering me to sacrifice my firstborn child, I’d assume it was either a demon or an alien, and ignore it. WTF?  Those are the first two things that spring to mind?  How 'bout "Oh shit...I'm hallucinating." Tribune7 says "People who disagree with me are the type of people who would kill their children if a voice told them to."  Also, Tribune7 is a tard: Quote delmont — Genuine question: what would you do if God asked you to sacrifice your firstborn child? Interesting question. The entire basis of Christianity is that God sacrificed His firstborn for you and accepting that is all that’s need to be right with Him and that any additional sacrifice on your part would be a rejection of His sacrifice. Obedience, of course, is required but that obedience includes refraining from infanticide. Now what if some spiritual force asked YOU to sacrifice YOUR first born? Assuming you are an atheist, you would initially ignore it. But suppose its persistence was such that it couldn’t be? What would give you the strength to stand up to it? Your pride? LOL. Your love? Isn’t that just a chemical reaction created by evolution to perpetuate the species? Surely, such a material thing could be set aside for some expedient end, right? Frankly, the only thing you could count on ultimately in such a circumstance was faith in the goodness of God. OK, I'm confused: what's the "expedient end" here?  Typically, voices handing out kill orders tend to not go away without medication, so obeying gets you nothing but a lot of police attention and, well, your kid is dead.  Why would an atheist even entertain the idea of obeying what they'd surely view as a symptom of mental illness?   Cabal is a not a complete tard: Quote delmot, Quote Genuine question: what would you do if God asked you to sacrifice your firstborn child? Maybe a relevant question, but I am afraid it reverts to a question of theology; HOW do God make himself known to people, how do we know God is standing before us? A talking lamb? (Re. talking serpent.) Which leads to the age-old question: Biblical literalism, or not? AFAIK, that haven’t yet been settled beyond reasonable doubt. Who is willing to stand up and say “I know, I represent ultimate authority.” I have firm opinions on such matters but I am not in a position to tell anyone what is right or wrong. I believe that in the end, we are all left to our own conscience, maturity, understanding, wisdom et cetera. No book can substitute for that. Why not just ask your God? Condemning other people is easy, but what about “Thou shalt not steal”? Should I let my children starve to death if the only option was to steal food? Frankly, and I guess that means I will no longer be with you either, I don’t think the Polanski question as it was posed was a suitable subject for this blog. What about some ID related subject instead? Brent is a complete tard. Who should be closely monitored in the future: Quote delmot, Quote “Genuine question: what would you do if God asked you to sacrifice your firstborn child?” He did, and I have. I sacrificed my first and second child to Him. All Christians are obligated to sacrifice everything to the Lord.
