I hope to one day have a designer pox. I had thought there were only chickenpox, but then I learn of monkeypox. I've been rolling around in rabbit pel...

I haven't entertained the possibility sufficiently enough to ask myself what it would be like to talk directly to God. It would be like asking me to a...

My favorite type of fish is chicken.

I agree with this, and I also don't mean anything pejorative to call a group non-religious. Framed this way, this conversation becomes a purely esoter...

That sounds like a hip coffee shop with a liberal vibe, where you can talk about pretty much anything on the Democratic platform, avoiding Trump, pro-...

Knowing isn't an experience? Huh?

Let one of us know whenever you detect him. See something, say something. :up:

Actually one way to decipher authorship is to look at who is being made to look best, so if the Northern Kingdom is looking bad, you might suspect som...

I'd consider it an act of petulance to insist a theistic religious service was atheistic because no one was concerned about beardy-head, largely becau...

I believe the entire work is selling a point of view, namely of the heroic tales of the Hebrew people. Whether there are moments of accuracy, I don't ...

This is question begging. If there is a category mistake, then the primary question still remains unaddressed: What is it about the phenomenal and the...

That the whole is comprised of its parts is a pretty basic explanation. Thanks for the poem, but I think there's quite a distance between that and wha...

Nothing is more clear to me than what it is like to eat an apple while I'm eating an apple.

Or maybe work isn't where they look for meaning. The holiest day of the week is sabbath, the day of rest. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

We are slaves to our material existence and survival requires work. How we choose to emotionally respond to that reality is our choice. Of course surv...

I still don't think you have an alienated worker if he thinks he's not and is otherwise content. Maybe a more demanding person would realize his peril...

Do you think they'll delay overturning Roe v. Wade until they've resolved the baby formula shortage? Seems the responsible thing to do.
