Answers to Questions

If a "tolerant" person can't tolerate intolerence are they still a tolerant person?

The way the word "tolerence" is used today, it stands for people who believe homosexuality, adultry, abortion, feminism and any other liberal ideology is ok, but believing children really need parents involved in their lives, that killing unborn babies is bad, that we should control ourselves sexually, and loving someone enough to want to save them from hell is "intolerent." So the "tolerence" crowd has actually changed the meaning of the word "tolerence" to mean "atheistic hedonism." So under the new definition of the word you can be intolerent of different points of view and still be "tolerent." Under the old definition, no, you aren't still tolerent if you believe all true Christians are evil.

Can it be right that there is no right and wrong?


If there is no right and wrong, the very statement "there is no right and wrong" can not possibly right. If it were, than that statement would be a "right thing" something the very statement disallows.

Can it be true that there is no truth?


No, it can't be true if there is no truth for the same reasons mentioned above. This statement is also logical nonsense. It's an impossible circle.

Can we be absolutly sure there are no absolutes?


Ditto.

This is much like if I were to say, "The next sentence I write is a lie. I am telling a lie." To quote Normon from "I Mudd" in the origional Star Trek series. "He says he is lying, but everything he says is a lie so he must be telling the truth but everything he says is lie so he can't be telling the truth. But if he says he is lying and everything he says is a lie than he must be telling the the truth. But..."

Christians, of course, have no such logic problems.

We don't merely "tolerate" people; we love them and treat them the way we want to be treated. This includes pointing the way to heaven and warning them about hell just as we would want if the shoes were on the other feet.

It is right that there IS right and wrong. No logic problems with that statement.
It is true that there IS truth. In fact our Jesus IS the Truth!
God gives us absolutes in the Bible, so of course there are absolutes.

Can an atheist know there is no God becasue there is evil in the world?


If there is no God, where did the very idea of evil come from? In other words, if atheism and evolution are true, than what Hitler did was only survival of the fittest, simply a law of nature. Yet, every one of us knows what Hitler did was evil. This very knowledge is proof that God wrote the laws of "Good and Evil" on our very souls, absolute proof that there is a God. Thus the atheist's objection that there can't be a God because there is evil in the world is in fact the very proof that there is a God.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
