    The Alabama Ruling

    I'll say this on the matter: I held my wife's hand during her D&C after miscarrying. The child would have been our second. The procedure is the same in an abortion except for how it is initiated. I can't fathom someone doing this voluntarily. Nowhere else do we kill children in response...

    Insanity has been introduced to the environment

    I've been ok but overwhelmed with work.

    Hunger has a way of getting one off their backsides.

    Do you watch sport?

    Super-Bowl Sunday is about the only day I go out of my way to watch a sports event. In this case, it's for the commercials and the food. I don't bother with the game or halftime show.

    God matters

    Jon, Even nothing is something. It has a name and a shared belief in its existence. What we perceive as "nothing" is more likely equated to a "stage". I wanted to find better words but I don't know that they exist. As for your argument about God being nothing or no-thing, you are applying...

    God matters

    The premise of your question is circular. Can a thing be its own creator? No. I don't care if the chicken came before the egg (actuality vs. potentiality argument) or the egg came before the chicken (mutation in development creating a new species aka evolutionary argument) On a side note...

    The double-slit experiment

    I've seen the experiment multiple times. They never seem to account for variances in the trajectory or address the concept that the particles may be interacting with the shield before the background and thus the variance could simply be ricochet. It's like watching a magic show; you know...

    Are you an atheist?

    I spent a lot of time and put a lot of thought into that response. I believe we agree on many points of the Bible itself. It has been translated and edited more times than I believe anybody living knows. I see it as the written version of a thousand-year-old oral history, not a transcription...

    Are you an atheist?

    Part 2 of 2: It is entirely possible that I am mis-guided for turning to my religion while finding so much fault in how it is practiced. I am certain that inconsistencies can be found in the Bible, especially after being translated so many times. I also understand as a bit of a dummy Christian...

    Are you an atheist?

    Part 1 of 2: I’m taking the time to finally respond today after making another leap of faith. I am resigning my position today in the midst of financial strife and nearing bankruptcy. I’m doing this as a matter of self-preservation with the calm my faith provides me. I believe God does love me...

    Dangerous countries

    - I agree. You are incorrect about the position I would take. I'd love to tell you how much I agree with you but Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V is only worth so much. I tend to tread carefully when conversing with those I respect; this community has no exceptions. I've asked you very hard questions in the...

    Hate crimes - who defines hate?

    Free speech is not limited, hence free. If it is free, it is not limited. That does not mean that it comes without consequence. If you yell fire when there is no fire, you are still inciting a panic in addition to exercising your right to loose your gob and will likely suffer the consequences...

    Dangerous countries

    The U.S.A is the most dangerous country in the world. We have the most influence with little consistency. We can change policy at any time. Looking back at the few years I've been on this planet, I see us screwing up a lot in the world for temporary power. For as unpopular as this will be...

    This just happened

    I presume "Y-fronts" would be the same as underwear or more specifically briefs. If I'm wrong, this will be even funnier. Women walk around in a two-piece bikini in public but won't let themselves be seen in normal underwear that covers better. Men can walk around in a speedo or (*lurch*) a...

    The Future - where are we heading?

    I'm not certain of where we're headed but if we keep going the way we are, it will be bloody. With the politically correct trying to run things and tolerance for anything but what you tolerate is leading to serious issues like pipe bombs in the mail, religious services being shot up, and other...
