    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Hmmm... It's hard to see it as good news from the onset because of all of the things that are attached with the concept, I suppose. Not everything in the bible is sunshine and daisies, and it paints a grim picture of the world we live in - albeit, with a silver lining. Discussing these things...

    Two GOP Candidates Assaulted in Minnesota; Democrat Staffer Calls for Beheading

    It's sad to see how violent and divisive things have been getting lately...

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Hmmm... That's a good question. It depends. I would have to look at the things in the bible that I find questionable, and ask about them. There were many horrible things that happened, especially in the old testament, and I'd wonder how a good god could allow these things to happen, or in many...

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Expertise! Hah! I just like asking questions. Unfortunately, I don't have nearly as much time to devote to this stuff as I'd like to have. That's one reason I'm looking forward to going back to school. Research as a side interest is one thing, but learning directed by a teacher's insight helps...

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Hah! I like your philosophy. =) You know, I haven't really read too much into philosophy. I should get into it, cause I think I might enjoy it. Maybe I'll have to take up a class or two when I get back to school.

    UPDATE: Native American DNA wasn't even used in Warren test.

    It is true that many (not all) of our neighboring tribes are granted benefits, but don't forget that these places are in recovery. The folks from the tribes where I live had been kicked out of their former land and relocated almost 100 years ago (not including the trail of tears), and a lot of...

    A good point for sure. =) Oh! And some things to research. Thanks! I'll have to look into them more deeply when I have the time. You are right, though. A lack of evidence does not mean that something didn't happen for sure. As for the dead sea scrolls, there were other texts in those scrolls...

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Some very good points. With Egypt being as deeply entrenched as it was, it absolutely did rewrite it's history at many points during it's different reigns. Hell, so have we. All one has to do is look at America's history and how we have rewritten a lot of our own historical events in the short...

    UPDATE: Native American DNA wasn't even used in Warren test.

    You haven't been to many reservations, have you? Go to the Navajo or Hopi nations and tell me they are rolling in the dough. Remember, not all Reservations have casinos, and they aren't getting much help outside of their own communities to help them deal with the struggles they have (and each...

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Extremely well said, and very good points. That said, when it came to massive events like those plagues would have been, they would have said SOMETHING, it seems. Look at the way the sea peoples were depicted. The bronze age collapse itself, though largely mysterious, can be seen in the effect...

    On the sinfulness of the LGBT path.

    Well, I've actually picked her brain on the subject quite a bit, and her feelings are absolutely involuntary as well (I don't know what reason she could have in lying to me about it). She hasn't actually been with other people, and hasn't done any of those things. Being a lesbian means that she...

    UPDATE: Native American DNA wasn't even used in Warren test.

    From what I've read, he even said that if she proved she had Native American ancestry, he'd donate a million dollars to a Native American charity (which they could desperately use). I don't care about squabbling politics, but if something good comes out of this, then I'd be happy. =)

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Very interesting. =) I will say that when it comes to ancient Persia, there really is a lot of misinformation as one not only has to navigate through prevalent interpretations of a very few select people who were interested in the subject at the time (the early 1900s, mostly), but also because...

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    Errr... You know the Egyptians recorded MANY more insignificant disasters their empire(s) faced. Look at here in America. After 9/11 where more than 3000 people died horrifically... There are segments of the twin towers in every city around here. There's a segment as well as a memorial within...

    Living with christianity as a non-christian.

    I can't help but to respect when one goes against the grain to carve out their own path despite the obstacles that oppose them. It takes a strong sense of self, and a willingness to be uncomfortable, when it would be easier to just turn around and go with the flow. When it comes to truths...
