  • Re: Stop worshipping the orgasim. It's shallow and unenlightened

    Wow, so much hate, cheap shots and ad hominem arguments going on here. It makes it very difficult to take anyone seriously. I would guess that this guy's change of heart in legit, I don't think it's reasonable to jump to some of these conclusions (he's gay, he's cheating on her, he's insane and you should dump him). He's been living in a sexual ...

  • Academic Rigor and the Interpretation of Scripture

    In the course of another discussion, the participants (myself included) became engrossed by what seemed to me to be a set of closely-related separate issues. I would therefore like to ask the larger community here:What ''academic rigor'' means generallyWhether the standards of ''academic rigor'' however define are applicable to the study of ...

  • 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 ...

  • Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"

    All I need to know about today's U.S. Senate Nomination Hearing for Liberal New York City Feminist Sotomayor, is that she thinks the appalling pro-Abort ''Roe vs. Wade'' Supreme Court ''Decision'' of 1973, is ''Settled Law'' (her words.) Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

  • Re: Rumpy Pumpy on the Pampas

    It actually wasn't. We hear this saying all the time as kind of a back-handed criticism of those who try to live Biblically today, but just because men in the Bible had multiple wives, it doesn't mean that the Scripture ever approved it as right or good. I'm reminded of Jesus' teaching on divorce -- just because the Torah provided sanction for ...

  • A L L....F E E L....P A I N............B U T....

    Yes, fish feel pain. Changing the water for my pet Betta fish last week, (a female named ''Pink'', because that is her colour), I mistakenly put in water JUST a little too hot. The poor little fishy's tail closed, and the heretofore active little fish swam to the bottom of the fishbowl, and looked at me with accusatory, hurt eyes. Immediately, I ...

  • Re: tough argument to make -How About now?

    WASHINGTON – The Pentagon said Monday it no longer includes a Bible quote on the cover page of daily intelligence briefings it sends to the White House as was practice during the Bush administration. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said he did not know how long the Worldwide Intelligence Update cover sheets quoted from the Bible. Air Force ...

  • Lifetime? Choose Eternity.

    You say, ''Reading the Bible has given me a chance to start an argument with God about the most important questions there are, an argument that can last a lifetime.'' Why settle for a lifetime arguement (which I can't imagine anyone would actually desire) when you can have a loving relationshiop for eternity? You are a seeker. Read on, and ...

  • Great Article

    I loved your article. I was fascinated by your taking God to task for his bad morals. I thought your response to God action was so human. It is just like us to think that God is evil or bad or mean. That He is unlovable and yet we want him to show up for us when we are treated badly or in such trouble that we know we can't bail ourselves out. ...
