    A record of the genealogy

    Apparently you've never read Genesis. I am always amused by people who criticize the bible when it's so blatently obvious they've never spent any time actually reading it or trying to understand it. It is strawmaning. Just to clue you in, look up Adam's age sometime. As well as the ages of...

    Is the shroud of Turin a hoax?

    Well then I guess I don't understand what your claim is. We have emprical evidence about Jewish burial practice during the time of Christ. Am I wrong in the claim that the death and resurrection of Jesus is unusual? I am having a hard time trying to find biblical or secular texts saying that...

    Is the shroud of Turin a hoax?

    What IS normal about Jesus life or death? Sounds like you made up your mind a priori without looking at the facts as they are presented and drawing a conclusion from them.

    Is the shroud of Turin a hoax?

    If you read "jewish Burial Procedure at the time of Christ" published in Actas del I COngreso sobre el Sudario de Oviedo, 1996 - you will find out the it was Jewish custom if the body had undergone a violent death, a capital punishment of a religious nature, or the person was an outcast from the...

    Thrill of the kill: the other tragedy in Iraq

    I have little sympathy for an enemy who will gladly hide behind innocent women and children. Our boys are doing their job over there, for the most part, in a professional matter. We are fighting an ideology of hate and oppression, we are right to fight it and this war won't end with Iraq...

    That is it...

    I've been trying to break those chains for too many years. While we allow these sins to be our master we will be slaves to them. I wish I knew the magic fix, or the great tip to help; I know exactly what I need to do when I feel myself slipping back into sin. I know I can call on the name...

    Having indifference to the good and bad in life

    right. There are greater reasons then what is immediatly known or realized by us. Inspite of evil, His greater plan will prevail - and hopefully save all of us in the process.

    Having indifference to the good and bad in life

    I've noticed I have grown to have general indifference to good and bad things that happen in life; in fact I am pretty indifferent to pretty much anything on a daily basis. When good things happen to us, we talk about the wonders of God, and His good works. When the sick are healed, when...

    Is the shroud of Turin a hoax?

    That's one "theory" being floated out there by people who would like to see the shroud dated closer to the time of Jesus. One problem is has is the amount of carbon required to effect the date is substantially more then what the fires would have deposited. An alternative, and I think better...

    Jimmy Carter says Americans lied to and Bush has radical procedures

    No, The American people were told exactly the reasons for the Iraq war. Bush spelled them out quite well. It was the same thing they were told for several years by the Clinton administration. How much character and moral authority can you assign to Carter when he makes such misleading...

    qusetion for "creationists"

    A lot of time does seem to get spent on the first few sentences in Genesis. I think the general line of thinking (from skeptics) is if you can't trust the bible that it means what it says in the fist few sentences then how can you trust it for the next few thousand sentences. People...

    Big Brother/Big Sisters

    I got a 'little' thru BBBS when he was only 8, just this past summer he moved downstate to go to a University at the age 19. 11 years of weekly meetings,and I don't regret any of them. Our match officially ended when he turned 18, but I still did stuff with him out of habit and just enjoying...

    Is the shroud of Turin a hoax?

    The shroud is the real thing, I've read about the shroud for a number of years now and I have not seen convincing evidence that it's not the authentic burial shroud of Jesus. I stated as a skeptic of the shroud – but the more I learned about it the more I came to the conclusion that the best...
