@askegg the fact of the matter is that when it comes to Christian dogma, no denomination within mainstream Christianity believes that practices such as communion or baptism are necessary for salvation. Christian dogma is clear that one is saved through faith alone. The rest are just practices for...

Of course contraception should be included in health care plans, unless an organization paying for it is morally opposed due to their religious foundation. They have a right to not pay for contraception because of the freedom of religion in this country. I'm not catholic. But a catholic school sh...

Whoa whoa whoa whoa... Wait a second. These are grossly exaggerated blanket statements. Sodom and gommorah were destroyed because not more than 5 people were found to be good among them. And yet here in the US, there is sin, yes, there is godlessness. Sure. But there are faithful people too. Peop...

What you have there is a blurry mass of nothing.

It's a reflection of sunlight from the window, probably oscillating due to either clouds or trees blowing in the breeze. It is eerie. But completely natural.

I am a Christian. And I can tell you that is not Jesus. The first possibility that comes to mind is that it is CGI. Second, it could be ball lightning, but that is somewhat dubious. 3rd, it could be some form of spirit having a laugh. Which is even more doubtful.

If you believe the bible and if ...

It's a refracted lense flair from the bon fire. That is why it moves with the camera and appears to be burning upside down, and also why no one else reacts to it. It is an illusion. Not intentionally faked necessarily. But misunderstood definitely.

I play the viola. Duh.

My grandfather died of a form of cancer known as "oat cell" which originated from his years of smoking cigarettes and pipe tobacco. It started in his lungs and traveled through the bloodstream to his brain causing severe damage. When my grandfather died, he didn't even remember me or even his own...

I find that gaming and watching a little tv before bed helps me to wind down. But I may be an exception.

Ew.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Peta promotes veganism with veggie porn all the time. So why not a little hothothothothothot for us meat munchers too? Freedom of speech. 'Nuff said.

Sell it and retire early.

DREAM PORN! :-P

I'm a donor. And I am proud to be.

@singingdragon if the answer is that it is for the preservation of life, the next question is how do cells know they need to preserve life through reproduction when they cannot possibly be self aware or anticipate their own demise? Or do you suggest that cells know they will eventually die and th...

Sigh... Why can't we all just get along?

@cgpgrey I FOUND IT! I think: I

This Christian doesn't want atheists to leave America. I just want the intellectual respect of my atheist peers.

I have heard ideas that suggest that the genesis account of the expulsion from Eden was actually an allegory for the agricultural revolution. Is this a possible parallel or is it just considered to be religious pandering to archeological conceptions of prehistoric humanity?

Meh.

I have suffered from depression in my lifetime. And I can tell you that if I had to use a phone to remind myself that no one else cared enough to check up on me that in and of itself would have just driven me deeper into depression. The best way to overcome depression is to get outside help from ...

the "toughen up or die" method of parenting, when taken to extremes, is borderline child abuse. It can set the child up for treating other people with contempt for the rest of their life. Do children need discipline? Yes. Is it good to let them experience the real world under controlled circumsta...

Wouldn't the medicinal dosage only be temporary? So diabetics would probably need to have this thing replaced weekly or even daily right? How does that make this the future?

Discipline WIN!!!

I have an HTC incredible that I got for free with my Verizon contract. So not gonna burn that either. Seriously though. Good for these protesters. We need more of this in the united states. I hope it works.

SETTLERS OF CATAN: THE MOVIE! (epic.)

Here's a spin: I am a Christian who is all for allowing homosexuals the right to get married. In my view, the law has no right to ban or promote any form of marriage which is under the jurisdiction of the church. Individual churches have the right to decide whether to allow/perform it in their co...

For all of you arguing religious reasons to ban gay marriage: the law has no authority to ban or to promote any form of matrimony as it falls under the jurisdiction of the church. Therefore, it is up to individual churches to decide if they will allow or disallow gay marriage within their congreg...

@avfcphil1313 that's funny. Because there are such things as adoption that nullify your point. Waiting lists for adopting babies are a mile long and adopting parents pay through the nose for it ($30,000 and up). Also, by that logic, I could steal your future right now and justify it by saying you...

Quakers FTW!

well done! the catholic church has been abusing its patrons since well before martin luther posted is 95 theses on the door. As a protestant I for one am tired of having to apologize for the ills of the overbloated catholic heirarhy.

@sxephil actually my wife has had very bad reactions to the pill. And as such we are left with using condoms. thanks for bringing up such a touchy subject. While you're at it why don't you just give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?

Food for thought: if an unborn fetus isn't a life, why do mothers of miscarriages mourn?

One of the things I'm most attracted to in my wife is her intellect. She was at the top of her class and has an MDiv. Being a theology nut I love talking with her about God. Also, she has a killer sense of humor. (I also find my wife physically attractive, but I wanted to give non massogonistic a...
