Thus far, the only thing Rove has been shown to be guilty of doing is helping Bush get elected. Although that may be the unpardonable sin as far as his detractors and opponents may be concerned, it is not against the law.....

Moore is very possibly the most effective and brilliant maker of propoganda films since World War II. Since his propoganda tends to have a far left bias, those on the far left generally love it while those on the far right tend to hate it.....

It's not. Both sides have the freedom of speech--but conservatives tend to have greater access to talk radio programs, while liberals tend to have greater access to the rest of the media. Both groups have used their "freedom of speech" to make some incredibly dumb comments that show the...

Interesting parallel of similar oversimplifications. Although both statements are false (since both science and Christianity rely upon both proof and observation), it should probably be noted that proof and observation are critical components of the foundation of both science and the scientific...

Scientists estimate the age of our planet as being approximately 4.5-4.6 billion years, though this figure may be revised over the next 18 months as data from the Deep Space probe that examined the core of Comet Tempel 1 is analyzed. The Bible does not say how old the world is, though the...

Interesting--though this appears to be a fairly good example of a frivolous lawsuit. Based upon just the information included in the link you provided, Marina Bai appears to lack both standing to sue and any real claim of injury being proximately caused by any breach of duty owing to her by...

AnEmpiricalAgnostic has done a very good job of addressing this issue--but let me add a few comments to what he said. The Big Bang theory postulates that the universe began at a point in space having infinitely high density and infinitely small dimensions. In physics, such a point is called a...

Although one's Pulse may quicken when a Crazy Diamond Shines On The Wall, my Money still rides on the Dark Side of the Moon.....

Liberal domination of the SBC? I certainly don't remember that ever happening, though there were a couple of churches which the SBC withdrew fellowship from when they persisted in certain practices which were contrary to scripture. Yes, I am aware that Judge Pressler used that claim as a red...

If I recall my military training and strategy correctly, the gates usually are what are being attacked rather than what is doing the attacking. Didn't Christ expect us to be on the offensive rather than the defensive in that particular quotation?

The clue as to the relative importance of those verses is probably not so much in the clothes themselves as it is in what those garments represented--and how all of it relates to establishing how one should approach God.....

Thanks for the comments. The point you raised is precisely the reason why I used the qualifying words "a bit" in my earlier post....

Sorry you apparently think I mischaracterized something Mr. Carlton said. If you will explain what you think I mischaracterized, I will attempt to respond. But thank you for sharing your thoughts in any event. And no, I would not necessarily characterize the Taliban as being "the new...

My comment was a relatively generic one directed toward any religious organization that discourages its members from searching the scriptures, prayerfully seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance or otherwise thinking for themselves; it was not meant to reference any church that does not do those...

I have known and worked with fundamentalists from both the United States and from the Middle East. I have studied fundamentalism in both areas, and have helped to mediate disputes to which fundamentalists were parties. I respectfully suggest that those who think that political power is the...

Not according to Southern Baptist doctrine. The sovereign is God--not the individual, not some church leader, but God. Mr. Carlton may be referring to Baptists' historical support for religious liberty for all persons. As Dr. Herschel H. Hobbs wrote in his book The Baptist Faith and Message...

The original Hebrew text and passages from the Talmud (the collection of writings constituting the Jewish civil and religious law) and from ancient Jewish commentators indicate that the Bible does not close the door on the possibility that there were other people—including men before Adam—but...
