Multiple wives and concubines | male and female “original” intent @MukeTever: Polygamy by mathematical induction :) |

Was there enough water in the world to cover the earth? Given that the Christian god is supposed to be omnipotent, not having enough water seems like an odd complaint. |

What is a Christian's justification for a legal prohibition of homosexual marriage? @lulian: The point is that this is not a site for debates or discussions. The goal is to answer the question. If your original post didn't do that, then the solution is to edit your answer, not to post another one. If somebody has follow-up questions, then they should post those separately or take it to a chat room. |

What is a Christian's justification for a legal prohibition of homosexual marriage? Please don't post multiple answers unless they're substantially different. This is Q&A, not a forum. |

What is known (and/or alleged) about the moral character of the 12 disciples? I would suggest dropping the first paragraph. It distracts from the main question here and makes argumentative answers more likely. |

Why does God resort to genocide and destruction? That's closer to answering my question, at least. Though, it's still not clear to me why killing is the only option. |

Why does God resort to genocide and destruction? Because flying is in many situations better than walking. Are you suggesting violent solutions are better than peaceful ones? |

Why does God resort to genocide and destruction? I wasn't asking about motivation, I was asking about method. An all-powerful god has an infinite number of ways of resolving the situation, so why does he use violence when he has other options? |

What does TS Eliot mean by “old dispensation” in The Journey of the Magi? @BenDunlap: Agreed. The plural "gods" on the following line makes Judaism seem especially unlikely. |

Is it appropriate to capitalize pronouns referring to Jesus Christ? @PeterTurner: In my experience, I rarely see the name used in articles and disussions on atheist blogs and forums. However, I think the main reason it's rarely used is simply because it isn't part of the common language. Though the reason for that may be what you mentioned, I don't think it's something people really think about. "God", or if further qualification is needed, "The Christian God" is the common term, so people just use that. |

What are the reasons for calling oneself a “follower of Jesus” rather than a Christian? I recall reading an article about how the broad use of the "Christian" label in the US is a somewhat more recent thing, possibly due to lobbying, and that using denomination-specific labels used to be much more more common in the past. Ubforntunately, I can't seem to find it, but perhaps someone knows what I'm talking about? |

Is it appropriate to capitalize pronouns referring to Jesus Christ? @MarcGravell: Yes, it depends on the context. In general, I try to use whatever the person I'm communicating with is using. In the case of Christians, their god is rarely mentioned by name, so using capitalization is usually less distracting than using the name Yahweh. |
