You are in my Prayers
I read your article, ''What I've learned from debating religious people around the world'' with fascination. To provide you with some insight I am what is commonly called an evangelical Christian, but could not be accurately labeled as a full Calvinist. I try my best to communicate in a manner that saves others from perdition and I likewise strive ...

Scientific Laws
William Saletan says this: ''Natural selection has become a tremendous tool for understanding biology. But it wasn't the first kind of science we invented, and it won't be the last.'' Natural Selection is usually seen as a theory rather than a tool. Theories are useful for understanding aspects of the facts and combinations of facts that ...

Fantastic article!
Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

Vintage Hitchens destroys Gov Palin's remains
Mr Hitchens warns us of his ire with the 2 year campaign in his 1st sentence which goes far from being soured gastric juices. A manufacturing chemist who works daily with the most toxic compounds will identiy the composition of Mr Hitchins's 1st sentence for us shortly. I wish to be enlightened.

Re: Fundamental Problem with Singer et al
Agreed. If you're stronger, you can kill the competition to increase your chance of survival and success- might makes right. This evolutionary principle was used to justify the greatest atrocities of the 20th century. A modest guess is 100 million people died because of the pseudo-scientific philosophy- mostly in countries during ...

Lieing Hypocrites
What an article. Talk about no research. Did the author just call up the JW PR department and copy down everything they told him? Yes, the Watchtower Society promoted the fact that the poor Witnesses in the African country of Malawi were being persecuted because they were told by the Watchtower not to buy a political I.D. card. If they did the ...

Re: LDS Texas Children
i'm not mormon. not even close but i hope everyone who values their freedom to worship will take a look around in their own lives and how their own beliefs have been scrutinized and tested. how far off do you all think we are from facing the same fate. this nation is moving from “a land under God” to one that puts believer’s out on the ...
