    Do you pray for God to help you kill the enemy?

    I don't pray that the bombs I put together find the enemy, and I really don't care if the enemy prays for my death, especially considering the scientific experiments showing how prayer does not have any better success than random chance. I saw a friend pray and ask for prayers that she would...

    Commission through AF OTS?

    I just went through the process recently. Nowadays, there is no check-box for general officer recommendation. Your application does not go to the top for any certain letter of recommendation. Your letters of recommendation are there to give the Colonels evaluating you a snapshot of who you...

    Gays in the army

    This isn't about expression of sexual ideas. I'm straight. I'm married. Everybody knows this. They know I have a wife. A homosexual in the military had to keep that side of himself a secret, and if outed by no fault of his own, was kicked out for it. Many gays did not want their sexual...

    An Empirical Theory Of God

    I've seen an awful lot of effort in proving gods exist by showing that the origins of the universe had to have an intelligent design. God is not measurable in any way. God is not in the realm of science. God is purely in the realm of faith, so the efforts to prove an existence of god are...

    Atheism: Religion, or no?

    SETI shutting down?!

    I think SETI shutting down is a good thing. I fail to see where spending so much money on a fruitless enterprise makes any sense when there are plenty of other more valuable enterprises we could concentrate on, such as alternatives to fossil fuels. Even if we found ET's out there... then what...

    Why teach creationism in public school science classes?

    You know... it's probably not. I guess there would be no way in the length of a school year to teach all theological systems without missing a few since there are so many. Besides, some of them would probably become misrepresented by misunderstandings or even personal biases of the teachers...

    Could Christianity Survive Without The Bible??.......

    It could be re-written without any of the current inconsistencies. Disappearance of the Bible would likely cause huge problems for those who believe in following the Bible with a literal, word-for-word interpretation. There would still be groups of Christians with slightly different...

    Why teach creationism in public school science classes?

    When I was Christian I remember a Baptist preacher telling us that we had it all wrong when we were trying to mix science and religion. He said science was of the world, and religion was of God. He said science is made of all the measurable properties of the universe. Religion was...

    I am Fester. I'm not here to try to attack you or your Bible. I remember Bible studies with my grandparents and how fun they were. I was a Christian until a few months ago. I still think theology is interesting, however.
