If we are devout Christians, we have failed to follow the Great Commandment. If we are ardent atheists, we have abandoned our beliefs to prostelyze others. Shame on all of us!

It is not uncommon for a discussion on UHH to evolve onto a subtopic, without any intended disrespect to the OP, just like a normal conversation does.

But not a disgusting bar room brawl, as this topic has!

As a Christian, you should be tolerating all this.

Maybe you can explain the Noah story.

Noah didn't go in search of the animals, God brought the animals to him.

The same mindset that makes you think you're one.

Ok, how did the animals survive? What did they eat? And after the flood, what did the meat eaters eat? Thanks

It's been said here, and I agree with the statement, that it's logically impossible to prove a negative.

Now, think what Trump is going through over allegations of Russian collusion.

His frustration apparently caused him to lie big time when he said recently, "it's definitely been proven there was no Russian collusion". One can't make statements like that if negatives can't be proven.

Religion and politics, strange bedfellows.

What would happen if you spent all the time you commit to politics, instead, photographing or processing for just a week?

Interesting Article about the man

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/04/deathbed-conversion-christopher-hitchens-defiant-to-last

On the few occasions that i've been getting close to death God and Religion have not been on my mind. When I was being taken to hospital under the blue lights, I wasn't wishing I had prayed more it was "not yet, i'm not ready". I clearly remember Dr Heath telling me I was having a heart attack, interesting tense, and explaining he could inject me with heparin and that should clear the blockage, but there was a 5% chance of a bleed on the brain, "do I want it"?

hmm 5% chance of bleed on the brain 100% chance of death without it, do I want it? Why are you asking me this, of course I want it!

Actually a few months later i was in a similar situation, this time they jacked me up on morphine, I have to say i've never been so relaxed at the prospect of imminent death, I was cool with it, if I live, I live. If I die , I die. Felt more concern about upsetting the people who I care about than actually dying.

Hopefully when I do eventually die, it will be nicely stoned on morphine :)

Politics is very important as to how it affects our lives. Granted, there's not much we can do about it. But I believe we need to at least stay informed to make wiser decisions toward ensuring we retain our individual freedoms to pursue our true goals and passions (photography).
