Re: Could you explain your Good Lord remarks
Which does not change the fact that Ganesha is still the Good Lord.
Only to a pagan idolater who is under judgment by the true God for his worship of an animal in the place of the true God.

Re: Atheists and Evolutionists cant explain 'altruism'..LOVE
Well, if enough people with loving intentions could get to the starving then love would feed them. Love should also help them learn how to grow their own food and help in other ways. But love can't overcome some things like tyrannical governments that oppress the people and further their starvation.

My, how fast a hypothetical discussion turns into political bashing.

Re: Atheists and Evolutionists cant explain 'altruism'..LOVE
I'm thinking of some third world nations. There's nothing politically motivated about such an observation. But bringing up American government is.

Re: You really need to drop that straw man by now
Your talent for obscuring a point approaches the herculean is very impressive.
Sometimes, rarely these days, you're funny though. This one made me laugh. So much for the debate.

Re: Evolutionists can not explain morals
it is impossible for a Christian to be altruistic because of his theology.
Jhn 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Not to mention all the commands about self-denial, dying to self, loving your enemies, doing good to those who persecute you, doing the extra mile, making yourself a living sacrifice, loving your neighbor as yourself and so on

Re: Evolutionists can not explain morals
No, God ordained punishment for the guilty.
And in case you think this contradicts the command to love your enemy, the command is to individuals about personal enemies. We are never to give aid to haters of God or his people.
