If God doesn’t hold someone accountable for sin solely because of their age, why wouldn’t we apply the same logic and avoid holding them accountable for crimes? Is there any biblical precedent for the government punishing children for crimes? Should the parents be held responsible for crimes...

But wait! SwordofTruth says that all the information we could ever want is freely available and easy to find on the internet! Doesn't that mean I can be a pharmaceutical expert on any drug or treatment I want to learn about in an afternoon? Are you trying to tell me that it's more complicated...

In what way, if any, does the age of accountability play into your position on this?

Well, investigating the root causes of such things is all fine and good but one of the primary purposes of a criminal justice system is about preventing crime from happening in the first place. Investigating the whys and the wherefores is a terrific academic exercises but in regards to...

That, obviously, isn't ideal, but image how much better that would be than what we've going on today.

I haven't followed the discussion. Does he support the death penalty at all?

It's an interesting question, actually. If it was the policy of the government to execute all those who commit or attempt to commit murder then there would never be any such thing as a six year old who attempts to murder anyone. Such things simply would not happen in a just society. The...

Historical investigations are not the same thing as someone actually performing alchemy experiments because they believe alchemy (the attempt to change iron, copper, silver or any other substance into gold) actually works. I do take it back though! You didn't lie. Lying implies an awareness...

There is exactly zero need to investigate every vaccine on a individual basis and not doing so has nothing to do with "blindly accepting any and all vaccines and just taking the with no research", which you claim would be stupidity. What's stupidity is suspecting or implying or by any means...

There is a thousand years of history of superstition and of otherwise well meaning people looking into whether it is possible to stansmute one substance into another via all sorts of methods including magic and elixirs and "sorcerer stones" et. al. and those who were honest progressed further...

Thread is all still right here for the entire world to read, SoT. I responded to your verbatim quote and you double down with this stupidity about needing to know details before deciding whether or not the Measles vaccine is worth "the risk" of giving your child one of the most trusted and well...

This is called moving the goal posts. The post I responded to implied a distrust of vaccines in general, which is stupidity on parade. There are plenty of others around who, whether they actually distrust vaccines or they're just sloppy with the words they use, along with our being lied to for...

So if the bible is about alchemy and these "stones" may not even exist, do you believe then that the bible is true, even if it is in an allegorical sense or are these allegorical references to things that were believed to be true but that really aren't? Also, what about all of the stuff that...

Stupidity. It isn't difficult at all to know how many people vaccines have saved. Infections like Measles and Yellow Fever, etc have quite well know infection rates. You can look at the rates both before and after wide spread vaccinations have been administered and from there the math is pretty...

By "scientific details" do you mean "factual details"?

So the bible, according to you, is a book about alchemy? And you believe that alchemy is a real thing where white "stone" "facilitates healing of the body from any disease" and red "stone" "facilitates transmutation of base metals into gold."? Really?

Well, so long as you're cool with it.

That was YOUR argument SoT!!! That's THE reason everyone started talking about Calvinism! No it wasn't! You are basing your thought process on it. That's the reason you insist that the bible teaches it! If it doesn't teach it, you've lost the only leg this silly "allegory" idea of your has to...

Silly Drop the term Calvinism! I don't care. That's what it is but a fart still stinks just as badly whether you call it "Fart" or not. Neither do I. That isn't the point. The point is that these doctrines have an origin and are commonly referred to in certain ways. Your ignorance isn't my...

No one has said that you are a Calvinist. Are you stupid or what? Read this next bit SLOWLY. Go one single word at a time and make sure you understand each word before proceeding to the next, okay? Ready? The PREMISE upon which you are basing your rejecting the plain reading of Genesis is a...
