Stephen Washington replied to Maximilian Hermann Reese's discussion Muslim girl in the group Christian Men
"I see this as a failure on your part to understand what Islam truly entails.  If an individual doesn't know what their religion teaches, that's their problem. But a claim to be Muslim is a claim to be deceitful, whether the person…"

Stephen Washington replied to Maximilian Hermann Reese's discussion Muslim girl in the group Christian Men
"1. She is untrustworthy because the belief system which she adheres to is untrustworthy.  Or do you stroll through the dregs of large cities like LA or Chicago, alone and unarmed, with full faith and confidence that no harm will come to…"

Stephen Washington replied to Maximilian Hermann Reese's discussion Muslim girl in the group Christian Men
"Most if not all definitions of prejudice include wording to the effect of  opinions formed without knowledge, thought, or reason. I think I've taken great pains to educate myself in order to come to a reasonable, informed opinion of…"

Stephen Washington replied to Maximilian Hermann Reese's discussion Muslim girl in the group Christian Men
"How do you know it's prejudice? You remind me of all the liberals who have accused anyone that disagrees with Obama on any issue of being racist and prejudice, simply because they might disagree with his policies or agendas.  It's…"

Stephen Washington replied to Maximilian Hermann Reese's discussion Muslim girl in the group Christian Men
"Is that supposed to make me change my mind about Islam or Muslims? Or perhaps you think I actually care about your opinion of me?"

Stephen Washington replied to Maximilian Hermann Reese's discussion Muslim girl in the group Christian Men
"Personally, I wouldn't trust a Muslim, no matter how secularized his country of origin might be. It's tempting for you, I'm sure, but I promise, she's not worth it."

Stephen Washington commented on Tookie's group Christian Men
"All in favor of simply ignoring anil's trolling?"

Stephen Washington replied to Will's discussion Guided by the Spirit in the group Christian Men
"I mean no disrespect, sir, but accounts like this remind me of 1 Corinthians 14.   26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.…"

Stephen Washington replied to Will's discussion Denominational membership trends in the group Christian Men
"While truly another topic entirely, the idea of the "non-denominational Christian" is rather ironically self-defeating. Money is separated by denominations because they have different values. So it is with Christian organizations (though…"

Stephen Washington replied to Will's discussion Denominational membership trends in the group Christian Men
"I find it interesting that while the memberships in Episcopal, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches are in sharp decline, the numbers of clergy in those denominations are, in contrast, sharply rising. Why there would be a disconnect between those…"

Stephen Washington replied to Rebekah's discussion Should a new wife take her husband's last name? in the group Christian Men
"The pattern you describe in Nordic tradition was used in Biblical times as well.  Names derived from the father's name are called patronyms (or patronymics)."

Stephen Washington replied to Rebekah's discussion Should a new wife take her husband's last name? in the group Christian Men
"I'm having a hard time finding any woman referenced in the Bible who utilizes a surname.  But arguing from silence is somewhat treacherous, as there is nothing in the Bible that describes when God views a man and woman as married in the…"

Stephen Washington replied to Rebekah's discussion Should a new wife take her husband's last name? in the group Christian Men
"There are a few surnames mentioned in the Bible, actually.  The prefixes "bar" and "ben" mean "son of", "bat" means "daughter of". In fact, the word "surname" or its past tense verb…"

Stephen Washington replied to Rebekah's discussion Should a new wife take her husband's last name? in the group Christian Men
"People in the Bible were often renamed after some important event. Abram became Abraham, and his wife Sarai became Sarah.  Jacob became Israel, Simon became Peter, and Saul became Paul, just to name a few examples. Adam, the first husband,…"

Stephen Washington replied to Tyler M.'s discussion "Are Catholics Christians?" in the group Christian Men
"Too broad a question. There are a number of specific doctrines taught by the Catholic Church that either run contrary to Biblical authority, or which are not addressed by the Bible at all.  Discussions regarding those specific teachings would…"

Stephen Washington replied to Pete Franklin's discussion Giving your best/100% effort. WHY should I ? in the group Christian Men
"Why do you say it feels "almost suffocating" to simply act like a Christian when you are involved in a secular activity you enjoy? If you are constantly trying to talk to others about your faith, whether they want to hear about it or not…"

"Ah but it's a damn good poem! But no wonder it was never translated until the late 1900s. Nearly 20 centuries of censorship! But despite some prudishness, it's very important for discussing the relationship between poet, persona, and…"

Larry replied to Larry's discussion Do you love your Christian brothers? in the group Christian Men
"Nowhere in the Bible does it say we are to tell someone we love them.  Words can be said, but the intent of one's heart may not line up with them.  And that can be deliberate or unintentional.   One's actions normally…"

Dallas the Phallus replied to Dallas the Phallus's discussion Tamar Gendler: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Politics and Economics in the group Autodidacts
"I thought it was a good lecture, too. Though this was my first introduction to Rawls and Nozick (I knew of Hobbs). I have no education in any economic theories, nor have I read any of the classics of economics, though I have read a little about…"
