Creationism is a scientific doctrine
Nevertheless, it is not a scientific concept. There is no concrete evidence for it, and it cannot be proved or disproved. Science constantly changes as new evidence is found and validated, while Creationism is a belief that, for the most part, stays the same.

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.
Should a mentally unstable person have a gun? Should a convicted murderer? Someone with zero safety training? What if one person's right to bear arms interferes with another's right to life and security? Someone clearly unfit to have a gun might endanger those around him. Something to ponder.

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.
Please clarify your argument- i.e. why you think so, and any evidence/stats to back it up if applicable

Non-locality invalidates atheism.
How on earth are these two ideas related?

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.
That said, I understand that guns are, for many, a way to protect their families, which is perfectly justifiable. My view is that "everyone should have a gun" is not the end all and be all. Having that power is a responsibility. Surely proper training and checks are necessary?

Anarchy is order; government is chaos.
Agree with the fallacy reporter. OP just made some wild claims with zero evidence or explanation. Why can we assume that there are always no exceptions to rules in anarchy?

There should be different sets laws for people based on their intelligence.
It's hard to accurately quantify intelligence. Not only that, intelligence likely changes with time. Besides, what would be the purpose of having different laws? I can see so many problems with this system with inequality and gray areas within the law.

You are God.
Interesting. First we must define "God" and the context of the question.

Taxation is robbery
It's more like a payment for vital infrastructure, security, govt processes etc. Technically, the regular taxpayer is not forced to pay taxes and has other choices. After all, policies are determined by officials who represent the public, and there is always the option of revoking one's citizenship.

Ignorance is better than Knowledge
It depends on the situation/context.
