http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22198635/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22221432/ I am curious about something. I've always thought that homeschooling was a poor decision, if not down right wrong. It is opposite of what a child needs, and it is naive to think that keeping your children away from...

I haven't read it, so I'm not going to go crazy on it. But if I recall correctly, the idea of it is a response to Narnia, 'cause the author was all 'BWAAA Lewis are dum!' 'cause he used logic and myth to talk about God. Books written to spite God are dumb more than evil. No need to boycott...

There is no reason why a Christian can not defend him or herself against violence. It is not wrong to stand against violence, including using force. This is especially true when an aggressor could harm other people, for instance, people who don't know Christ. What God says is to not back down...

I don't get it. What's so wrong with this? I mean, it's not like she specificly did it to worship Osiris, right? It's not like Christians don't take concepts, worship ideas, even prayers from other religions (especially including the 'pagan' ones). I don't recall anything in the Bible saying...

(I hope you don't mind me making a comment- I am ELCA, but was a long time member of LCMS, and go to an LCMS church when not in town for my home church, so since this isn't really a 'what do you think' issue but 'what is it like', I felt it not so inappropriate. Woo- wordy!) It looks like a...

It's very unlikely at an ELCA church. I mean, you will get a wide range of people at any church, so there will undoubtably be some people that think you shouldn't do this or that, but for the most part ELCA members (and most clergy) are not affraid of secular music and horror movies (though...

Ah- I agree. But does that mean the verse is not literal? And if so- what does it TRUELY mean?

Yea, I'm certain. First, I'm not discounting the 'evidence that is in the Bible'- I'm discounting the modern interpretation of it. But secondly, I went about looking at it with reason and prayer and openness, and it comes to be, quite plainly, that homosexual love is not wrong. Furthermore, I...

You can change your 'orientation', or at least your activeness in persueing one or the other sex. I quite happily went from a heterosexual to a bisexual, once I got over silly notions of the 'evilness' of same-sex attraction. There is little doubt from the scientific evidence that there are...

Perhaps a better point might be someone that is in a coma- are they sinning because they aren't honoring the sabbath? What about someone with Terrets or many other mental conditions that cause them to speak without thinking- if they use the Lord's name in vain are they sinning? One I've always...

I recently went through such a period, about a year. Lost faith, because I concluded that because God (as it seemed) was not helping me conquer sin, and I was trying to do that just to get closer to God, that he in fact either didn't exist or didn't care. Took a long time to see the errors in...

You are a grown up, you should know full well the difference of the meaning put behind a word. You didn't say that as a joke, or in amusement, or in any way friendly. You said that with meaning of discrimination. You said that in meaning that 'homos' as some kind of horrible people you won't...

'won't stand for letting homos marry'? Intollerance is an ugly thing, and you've just shown your ugly side. I find your language personally offensive. If you are going to turn this discusion into a mud slinging contest, I am leaving.

Don't you know the first rule of internet fights? First person to call Nazi loses XD Seriously though... I think this is a bit of a stretch... and also 'OH NOES! SOCIALISTS! GOD HEPL USS!!!' I'm not saying public school is great, and yea, it's getting worse... but a lot of this is a joke...

Ummm, that is a large set of serious arguements. I don't see why you think adding 'real nice' all of a sudden makes them worthless. What's next? 'That was a real good post... NOT!' Please, if you can't argue against these points, don't just trivialize them, it's rude to say the least. By the...

Wait... so you are argueing that we are not part Neanderthal... but we had the same ancenstry, hundreds of thousands of years ago? I'm confused... weren't you fundemental? **is confused**

Hahaha, I'm 'Some Guy On An Internet Forum'. Obviously, I'm important, because I get capital letters. ^_^ Listen, I don't have to know how it works to see what it produces. I've had a good half dozen kids as peers I've gotten to know that were homeschool- all socially challenged. I've met some...

OK- again, on the one hand, I agree. Gwdboi is not really looking for something that might change his mind, but in some degree is just trolling the topic because it fits his mind set (I won't deny I'm doing this to a degree myself, though, if you notice, since I am not convince on this topic, I...

On the one hand, I have to agree- we are NOT animals. But as for evolution... um... well- you know what, let's not get into it. Let's just be happy we agree on something.

I've listened to some of this stuff, my dad would play it sometimes if it was on. I found it pretentious at best... we'd discuss it a bit, and basicly come to the conclusion it was drivel... Hey- it did cause bonding! (seriously, I wasn't making this point when I started typing) Maybe I should...
