That was the specific question of a prior thread, but less so this one. But to answer the question the best I can muster, I'd say (1) because they ans...
This summation by your priest seems incorrect, or at least overly simplified. Not that I'm any sort of Catholic theologian, but just thinking of St. T...
This observation would be universally applicable to all human institutions. Humans are social animals, and hierarchies always arise, which includes po...
No, I'm still not letting you off the hook for this nonsense. Saying that war is one of the typical methods for resolving theological dispute is to ra...
This is just a profoundly bad faith post. My every post cites to your posts, often cites to external websites for support, offers my basis for describ...
If you don't tag me, I don't know you've posted, so there's that. I don't see that your factual inaccuracies are subject to reasonable disagreement, s...
Sure, let us start in the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, and then he spent the next 6 days creating all of the plants and anim...
My previous comment regarding your using the functionality of this website was not meant as an insult, but it was so that I would properly be flagged ...
This is just false. It assumes literalism, divine creation of the text, inerrancy in interpretation, and the actual history of change within many reli...
You need to learn to use the quote function and the tag function. Basing a religion upon a writing does not suggest the writing has a divine origin, w...
TCU should apologize to Georgia for having been on the same field as them. And when I say "Georgia," I don't mean just to the university, but I mean t...
In light of the number of name changes that have occurred here, I have finally decided to join in. For now on, my name is Hanover, but the H is no lon...
Why is their disagreement cause for such alarm? The pages of this forum are filled with disagreement. You might say there is a foundational belief the...
Central to your theory then is the primacy of "character," which isn't fully defined, but the term means in the vernacular someone who adheres to cert...
Well, a few things. My review of the X-ray indicates severe pancreatitis, although I'm embarrassed to admit I'm not actually a radiologist. What I wou...
The world is going PVC these days. Gone are the days of welding straight to the bunghole. Nowadays, you just put a generous swab of liquid cement and ...
Is that metric or American? I have a European friend whose bunghole was leaky, so he tried using mine, but the American calibration was imprecise enou...
One day I wish to retire so I could become a farmer, which is something a farmer never said, and something no one ever said is that they wanted to ret...
Not a bad idea. I'm going to call my bicycle guy to have him modify my pedals for me to account for the different leg lengths. That should be the only...
I was reading about leg lengthening surgery, and I've decided to go with arm lengthening instead. That way I can get stuff off high shelves and can dr...
Georgia produces lots of peanuts. Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer before failing as President. We had a peanut farm here that made people vomit and s...
You were a seeing eye human and you would have been permitted in the dog park where typically humans aren't allowed, but you could because you were a ...
It was actually called "Suburban Resignation Bland." I had wanted what was simply called "Regret" because for a single price you could get an unlimite...
The Bonne Maman jam just started showing up in our grocery stores, and it's been a hit at Chez Hanover. There's also a fig spread that's very good. It...
Funny story. I was in Iceland and we were on some trail and an Italian family was eating raw bacon on bread straight from the package that was package...
You couldn't imagine the thousands of shades of beige we sorted through to find the perfect one. I use "we" liberally here. This being my second marri...
Not in the picture were my homemade buttermilk biscuits, which I made with frozen grated butter, which provides an outlet for the marmalade. Those are...
Tell her if you have a chance, we're thinking of her, and to stop back by when she's up to it, at least to read these posts. I think she'd get comfort...
I'll concede the point that engrained worldviews impede objective analysis, particularly as it relates to optimistic versus pessimistic outlooks. It's...
I was such a humble servant, wanting nothing but maybe a smile cast my way, constantly ignored, always striving, never good enough, to today to still ...
It most certainly was a small group of us, easily identified by scrolling back in the membership logs as to who first joined here. I have had few enou...
But you say here: Which means your desire is for an empiricaly based claim, not just for a general sentiment. I think many believe things have deterio...
But that was my twofold point: (1) the question cannot be meaningfully answered scientifically unless we identify what we're measuring, and (2) there ...
If you asked whether my personal health was increasing or decreasing, I'd provide you my annual health reports and you could compare my blood test res...
Anytime you have divided chambers, you have a certain amount of gridlock, and that gridlock has progressively grown over the years with increased pola...
The Republicans are infighting for power, trying to portray it is ideological, but it's far from consistent. McCarthy, it is argued, is an old school ...
If this is a summary, then I needn't read any more, and so I won't. Instead I'll attempt to further summarize your summary as: The individual is defin...
That is not a Christian virtue, but it is a Jewish one. https://www.firstthings.com/article/2003/02/the-virtue-of-hate "Regarding a rasha, a Hebrew te...
