Homosexuality/other "so called" deviant behavior - Immoral or not? Abnormal, or not?

Whoever said debates were supposed to be won easily?



I'd say the one who is positive repping is the one patting me on the back.



Key point being that Islamic terrorists attacked the US. If It was Buddhist terrorists you'd have studied Buddhism.

The point is, Islam is not a cult just because one man is featured prominently in Islmaic religious texts.

1. The point you choose to ignore is that you were willing to defend yourself with op-ed.
2. If I could have given you a half-rep, I would. Look forward to a neg in the future to do just that.
3. A cult is a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious. Islam obviously falls within that definition.

I don't particularly think much of the rep system, so rep away. It's all good. . .

All religions are probably "unorthodox" when it comes to Christianity. . .

Further, the claim that Islam is "spurious" is just plain meaningless. What is "spurious" about it?

I think you may want to change your name to Red Herring or Straw Man.

You could probably change yours to Ad Hominem. . .

That's stupid because it doesn't make sense - but your reply to mine is EXACTLY the problem with your style of 'debate'. You ABSOLUTELY refuse to answer questions to the point of the debate; but you answer ppl's questions of your "logic" with OTHER questions. It's like this:

Rahul: I invented the Question Mark.
Other Person: Uh? How do you figure? It was used long before you were alive.
Rahul: But what about the Comma? That PROVES I invented the question mark!
Other Person: Hrm...I like Pie?

It makes perfect sense considering the last comment.

You called me a couple of names, and weren't looking for debate.

So, what question haven't I answered? Maybe you could advise.

1. Your 2nd attempt to ignore the issue I raised.
2. Whatever.
3. I've never heard any Christian denounce any major religion that does not promote violence.
4. For the definition of specific words I suggest you use a dictionary.

Uh - dude? I haven't called you names. Ad hominem is name-calling against the person regardless of what they are saying. I didn't call you a name; I accuse you of simply IGNORING facts and rational argument. You simply divert the topic of discussion when you are out-smarted. Learn a little bit about what you're saying, aight?
