It depends upon the validty of your reasoning in coming to these conclusions. Not, of course, that this is what happened, but if say you escaped a car crash, and this lead you to believe in God because it was a miracle, then no I don't see that as a good reason.

I'm not going to bite your head off :P But may I ask why? Surely I experience love, friendship, fun, etc, without faith? What do you mean?

Claim: Every event has a cause. The universe itself had a beginning, so it must have had a First Cause, which must have been a creator God. Response: 1. The assumption that every event has a cause, although common in our experience, is not necessarily universal. The apparent lack of cause...

An explanation involves some reason, not simply "I believe this." If I went around saying "I believe in the great goat-god Gorgamel," or if I told you that last night I was abducted by aliens, you're not exactly going to just take my word. You'd want some justification for you to believe these...

"An individual combination of letters, numbers and symbols" I think it would be common sense to infer "and/or". As for the loophole, good job on the lawyer for finding it, but the moral implications aren't too good. I always defend the judiciary when idiots rant about people getting off on...

Life, as far as we know, is not eternal Exactly - whatever meaning you want your life to have. Simply because some people are afraid and need to be spoon-fed meaning does not mean we should all jump on the bandwagon

oh no not another one :P at least that "BY THE GRACE OF GOD" dude is gone

1. As opposed to you basing your beliefs on... what exactly? 2. What makes your religion the correct one? I suppose all those millions of people the world over with other religions are all wrong?

Um, check all that apply: - Love - Success - Glory - Wealth - Fun - Friendships - Wisdom - Self-enlightenment - The human experience (you have 5 senses, use them) - your OWN meaning (look up existentialism on the internet, you'll discover a whole new world) - the thrill!

Oh dear. You're in the worst category of Christians. I haven't said anything for a while but please. How about natives living in a small african village who have never heard of Jesus, or this (PARTICULAR, might I add) religion? Honestly I can respect the views of ordinary Christians but your...

If it falls into the relevant category, eg. nervous shock, pure economic loss, occupier/invitee, etc the old 'proximity' tests aren't good law in Australia anymore if it doesn't fit an existing category, you argue by analogy to make a new one

Maybe she'll be so devastated she stands down Maybe I'll get a new MP!!!!!!!! or maybe not :(

You're troppo? I am sick, with a philosophy essay due tomorrow, plus a meeting tomorrow with the head of the philosophy department over an appeal going back to last semester, plus contracts on thursday which I have yet to do my notes for plus this site keeps distracting me with its...

Ok that must be like the fourth time I've seen you post that image is there some sort of conspiracy going on

yeh I am actually satisfied with that mark :) but I know a girl who got 89.. so I have a standard to go against :mad:

I think you're the best person to know whether it matters or not?

Duress is duress - to classify it as "physical" sounds weird because the verbal threat may be to do something physical

I get scared that someday if there is some sort of anarchy-inducing event lawyers will be screwed.. we'll have no jobs or no use because our whole profession is a man-made, theoretical construct

hehe but Coke also told the king off for thinking that understanding the law would come naturally from reason, saying that it really required years of careful study of this "artificial reason" :P
