A Serious Question About Lust

"Ray, I have a serious question that I am not sure how to answer when asked. When I talk to teens and tell them that if they lust after a woman/man, they've committed adultery in their heart, I've had some tell me, 'I'm not married, so how can I commit adultery when adultery is sex between a married person and someone other than their spouse.' How do I answer that?"

There are certain things that we human beings define as being morally wrong. One of them is adultery. No sane person would try a...

More on Albert's Beliefs

"It appears dishonest in nature to do what you are doing with his photo and quotes on your blog, especially when you have been told time and again his views are not congruent with your own. How about this quote from Einstein:? 'It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then ...

Seven Verses for Atheist Thoughts

Read the following carefully, and let me know your thoughts:

"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother...

Believing the Fossil Record

8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall ...

The Lie that Angered Einstein

It is very clear that Einstein didn't believe the Bible, in an afterlife, or in a personal God--as revealed in the Scriptures. But he definitely wasn't an atheist, as portrayed on so many atheist sites. This is obviously done to suggest that atheism is somehow intellectual, when it's not.

Here is the quote in question once again, for those who haven't read his words closely:

"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people...

My "Quote-mining" Einstein

"[Ray said:] 'The quote from Einstein at the top of the blog isn't out of context.' Of course it is, Ray. You didn't provide any context at all there. Did you even search for its context? Where did Einstein write this? When and where did he write this (so everyone can look it up)? Is it even genuine?" Geert A.

"I agree with you guys who are saying Ray is misusing Einstein's quote . . . I think we can just leave Ray to quote mine and misuse people's statements as he will and let everyone judge ...

"Ray, I took the time to go over the passage of your book...

"Ray, I took the time to go over the passage of your book in it's entirety and see that I erred. I apologize for using the out of context quote to make it look like something it was not meant to be. The first time I tried do do that, I misread it. On closer inspection I see how that happened. I am sorry for being rather careless on this matter."

Dictionary: Cans of worms. n. Informal, pl., A source of unforeseen and troublesome complexity.

Despite the explanation that I had been quote-mined regarding not seeing doctors when we are sick, and that it was evident that I believe the exact opposite, "Froggie" said,

"Ray, 'Therefore you should never take medicine to relieve pain. You should never consult a doctor or go to a hospital for treatment, because you would be interfering with the work of God in your life. If Cancer is the...

The "Ray says to never see a doctor" issue

For months atheists have been accusing me of saying that those who are sick should never see a doctor. Today, I was very encouraged to see that one of my regular opponents (Raoul Rheits) kindly conceded that that isn't the case. He said:

"Now I can actually read the context it is apparent (albeit clumsily written if you don't mind me saying so) that you are *not suggesting* that people refrain from seeking medical assistance. Quite the opposite."

He also said, "But please at least have the hon...

The Religion of Evolution

I was asked recently during an interview if I thought that the Theory of Evolution was a religion. I said that I think it is.

If evolution is responsible for everything that has evolved--everything, then it is worthy of praise. What it did was miraculous, and time is the miracle-method it used. Its prophet was Charles Darwin (the faithful can pay homage to his facial hair in the Natural History Museum, in London), and Richard Dawkins is the sitting pope.

According to his decree, if you disagr...
