Christianity got about quite a bit. Wrecked cultures all over the world, killed countless numbers of people.

That's not true. The role genetics plays in sexual attraction is unclear, that's all I am saying. Without knowing the exact physiological pathway of sexual attraction it's hard to say what could affect it. In fact, we aren't sure how much genetics contributes to personality at all. You can't...

Yeah it is pretty tasteless. Not a fan of Bud or Miller, the two big American exports. Proper Budvar is pretty tasty stuff.

Well, that's not what I said. I said it could be a combination of things, not necessarily dependent on a single genetic factor. It could be a biochemical trait that arises during development because of environmental influences, for example. Can you choose who you are attracted to?

As far as I am aware, no genetic marker of homosexuality has been confirmed. Even there was, there's no reason to think there would be only a single factor. Additionally, the scope of human sexuality is wide enough to mean that it's probably affected by a combination of environmental...

And I'm saying, given that the Catholic God is supposedly a metaphysical (i.e. non-corporeal) being who encompasses 3 divine entities, isn't a physical description a little redundant? I'm sure they do, however forgive me if I find trained Catholic theologians, whose ideas make sense, more...

The evolution of conscience and self-awareness.

That's rather convoluted. Also, pointless. Not that I'm a practising Catholic or anything, but I'm at least glad the priests who taught me at school were sane enough not to try to pretend the story of Creation is anything other than an Old Testament fairytale.

You're mixing me up with someone else. I said your post was bizarre because: - Homosapiens were not the first bipedal species of ape or human (maybe you mean the first to walk upright, which would also be wrong) - You mentioned God being bipedal. God is supposedly a metaphysical (i.e...

That post is bizarre.

I was wondering about the "gay marriage" issue too. Being gay isn't a choice.

I was taught that the story of Adam and Eve was the parable explaining original sin (man becoming aware of himself, God giving man free will), not that they were actual events.

I saw Audioslave during the summer. Good stuff. They played some Rage and Soundgarden tunes. Didn't invest in the album, though.

I loved him when I watched wrestling. Still dip in now and again, he was still the man. It was always on the cards, though. Wrestlers have been dropping like flies lately and Eddie's problems have been well documented.

I didn't call him anything, I just told him to fuck off.

He's not debating, he's posting inane racist rhetoric and accusing me of condoning murder. I consider my original response the most valid one possible.

It wasn't unprovoked.

I understand that, but I'm assuming that when people talk about nuking somewhere, they mean heavy duty. Like "The Other One" there talking about not using Hiroshima bombs. Yes, typo. The scorched earth policy hasn't worked for Israel, so I don't see why it would work in this instance...
