    Freedom of Religion

    A quote that's perhaps a little played-out, but worth bringing up again whenever this subject comes up, I think: "Ah yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight! Openly wearing the symbols of their...

    Evolution is Religion.

    Yeah, I know;) I actually own several of Lee Strobel's books myself, and I followed the Kitzmiller v Dover trial quite closely while that was playing itself out. It just kind of confuses me that he would reach so far back, though I do know that Miller is quite a respected figure in the...

    Evolution is Religion.

    So, umm...was this supposed to convince me of something other than the fact that many Creationists have little to no grasp of what they're talking about, and that when proper debate fails they're not above just quote-mining and throwing out fallacies?:scratch: Because I already knew that...

    Romantic Music

    Deliver Me -- Sarah Brightman Flames -- VAST Here With Me -- Dido (Sarah Brightman did a cover of this one, too, and I actually like it better...it's more emotionally charged, I think. Both versions are worth a listen though). The Last Words You Said -- Sarah Brightman The Music of the...

    Thoughts on The Kingdom of Heaven?

    I was under the impression this movie dealt with the tail-end of the Second Crusade, in which Jerusalem fell to Saladin, which then of course prompted the Third Crusade. For example, when Balian says to Saladin, "When the Christians first took this city they butchered every Muslim within its...

    Horror Movies?

    Hmm..."wholesome" is not generally a word I hear paired up with "horror movie," but I actually was fighting back tears a little bit at the end of Dark Water. I have not seen Devil's Rejects, nor do I plan to, but just from what I've read occurs in the film, I have a hard time imagining how...

    Humans share a common ancestor with monkeys

    Well there was that gorilla--Koko, wasn't it?--that could speak in simple phrases using a signal-board, wasn't there? I believe they've done similar things with dolphins as well.

    What’s your problem?

    How in the world does science in general and the theory of evolution in particular attempt to "convince people that everything is ok and that there is nothing to worry about"? If that's the case, how come so many scientists are concerned with global warming? How come so many ecologists are...

    What’s your problem?

    I've never understood the "evolution/science changes therefore it's bad" line of reasoning either. On another forum I wrote this: "...science, however, thrives on change...that's its modus operandi. Research on even the most basic principles is continually carried out, and no theory or even...

    Accountable for our beliefs

    Reaching back a bit, but: I completely agree with this, actually. As I put forth earlier, belief in any particular deity is not something I can conjure up out of thin air...I have not "chosen to believe/disbelieve" anything concerning deities. I have gone where my experiences and the...

    Scientology

    Do you really believe all that stuff about Xenu and thetans and space DC-10's and all that? That infamous South Park, episode, for example. Do you really believe that stuff?

    An interesting topic. Dylan_Chica, I am in the almost exact opposite situation as you: I'm an atheist who lives in a small conservative town in the Mid-Western United States. I have never made fun of the Christian religion, but back in my younger days when Christians would say disparaging...

    Resident Evil Fans?

    Yes, indeed, good times. The bit I remember most from RE2 was when a licker busted through a one way mirror in the police station...I practically jumped out of my skin.

    Resident Evil Fans?

    Resident Evil 2 on the Playstation was the first survival-horror game I ever played, so it'll always have a special place in my heart. I've also played and beaten Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, and the REmake. Good games all, though they can descend into cheesiness every now...
