I find point 7 quite odd, is neuroscience really changing the problem of free will? Same goes for point 8, I'm not really sure how neuroscience is throwing something new on the problem - merely confirming what has long been suspected.
ReplyDeleteOf course veganism is not "ethically acceptable", at least not for the reasons they like to use.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't take the NYT article completely seriously, did you? :-)
Osteen seldom if ever teaches that people need to turn away (repent) from their bad lifestyles or attitudes to be right with GOD and to be blessed. God DOES require obedience and that fact often seems to take a back seat in his teachings.
