    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    Again, "contribute to survival of other members of their kin groups and bands" is not within the scope of what I was talking about. You're continually making strawman arguments.

    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    I explicitly said: "human reproductive cycle."

    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    I find that not to be true about "any two Christians." But most can present evidence for their opinions, even if that evidence is contained only in scripture, so it's more than simply opinions.

    Florida Republican Says Abortion Law Fear Delayed Her Care for Ectopic Pregnancy

    Not always. That's not something a black person can agree with, because we had to push politics ahead of what physicians were thinking about us. And that is true, for the most part. Such a possibility should be at the extreme end of medical malpractice.

    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    We're not talking about rights (which are a human social construct), we're talking about nature. I see you don't know how mutations and evolution work. When did I call myself pro life? You got a link to that post? Or are you making a presumption? Ah, there you go, conflating sex and gender...

    Star Wars: Andor and Gray Morality

    People talk about the "morally gray" characters in Star Wars Andor. However, I don't think a person who has to do an evil thing morally gray if he understands that what he did was evil without rationalizing it as good. For instance, the character Luthen says, "I'm damned for what I do." That...

    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    Nature weeds out the genetic results of those who are not sexual males or females in the human reproductive cycle. Animals have gender? I was told gender is a human social construct.

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    There is an abyss, sometimes, between "they can" and "they will."

    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    The military can say "hair colored in un-natural colors is detrimental to good order and discipline," but that is written to people in the military, not to civilians. We have to remember that all scripture is written to believers. And by "we" I mean believers must remember that as well.

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    We wouldn't expect God to speak to pre-Bronze Age man in AI-Age man terminology. Or rather, we wouldn't expect a pre-Bronze Age man to interpret a revelation from God in AI-Age man terminology.

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    You probably know that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin performed a holy communion on the moon before they stepped out the first time. The first two men on the moon were devout enough to sneak communion elements aboard, devout enough to communion with Jesus on another world. And that was all...

    I don't know about doctors delaying treatment because of protestors. But I've seen evidence of doctors delaying treatment in fear of the law.

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    I think we can be sure Job had been taught a different creation account than Genesis, and still had that account in his mind as he came to know God. And the same was true of the Philippian jailer.

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    It's more practically accurate to label it an asteroid than a satellite or anything else.

    And many have fled Texas. My daughter has severe problems that will require surgery, which she hopes to have done before January, and has had a problem finding surgeons in the state.

    Florida Republican Says Abortion Law Fear Delayed Her Care for Ectopic Pregnancy

    My daughter just a few weeks ago went through a scary experience here in Texas of an emergency room being hesitant to treat her for an incident severely bleeding uterine polyps because they were afraid it was a miscarriage.

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    The point of the Matthew passage is that those people are depending on their own works, which they claimed were in Jesus' name, to obligate Jesus to save them. This is precisely what Paul was speaking of in Romans 4:4,5. That's not repentance, that's an expectation of payment for work.

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    It appears that Job's knowledge of God has been derived solely from observation of creation, not from direct revelation, prior prophesy, or scripture. God never refers to any prior promises to patriarchs, or even to Adam. Rather, God refers to the wonders of creation that Job could have seen or...
