    Life overseas

    You know, it's funny. Most of the Christians I know at my base are cops! They're certainly more numerous than Christian mechanics!

    About to speak to a recuiter...

    You can say or ask anything you want of them. That's what they're there for. Just remember to double check EVERYTHING online or with people you know who are currently serving; people who served 10, 20, or 30 years ago are often unreliable as yesterday's military is far different from today's. I...

    F-22 Invincible, Maybe not?

    Oh, is that why the nation COLLAPSED at the end of the Cold War? At any rate, even IF the Russians could come up with a comparable fighter on paper, they could not match America in practical capability because: A) Their training is inferior, B) The maintenance of their aircraft is inferior, and...

    God's will?

    [/SIZE][/FONT] But we see many instances in the Bible in which God's chosen were doing his will and they were also stressed to the max! Even Jesus was sweatin' in the garden prior to his arrest!

    How does God talk to you.

    I always ask my wife and others this very question. People always talk as if God calls them up on their cell phones and everything is then made perfectly clear. It's so frustrating to me, since I never know if the voice in my head is: a) God's b) Satan's? or c) just my own.

    Adam and Eve.

    Of course they had belly buttons! They would have been born just like anyone else. I don't think they were formed as if from nothing but rather were the first fully evolved humans and as such were the first to have a human spirit (ie image of God, unlike animals) imbued.

    Question for you fellow Active Duty Pacs.

    I always wondered if I was the only one who felt like that. Sometimes I feel like telling people, "Hey, I just fix airplanes and helicopters!" you know? It's not like I'm one of the PJs on the helicopter or any other special ops position which would actually merit some recognition. I mean crap...

    Thousands join anti-war protest

    An "American Position" is that which is the official position of the government. Then America could be in the wrong. But with regards to this situation, the most important question is this: regardless of whether or not we were right to invade, would the outcome be better or worse for Iraq...

    Thousands join anti-war protest

    How convenient for you then! In any case, I went out of my way to explain how that is NOT defamation. I even gave examples of hysterical conservative arguments. I even tried to explain how using a hysterical argument does not make one stupid or insane or anything of the sort. It's just as...

    Please - no one's getting arrested for protesting! It's not. She's just being dramatic I think.

    Thousands join anti-war protest

    First David, thanks for taking the time to write a detailed and thoughtful response. Although I must say I disagree on all of your points :) But this is false. The terrorists there are fighting not for sport, but to overthrow the fledgling democratic government that is taking hold. I showed...

    Thousands join anti-war protest

    I find it quite telling that so many of you who respond are just regurgitating lines too often repeated by hysterical politicians, celebrities, and other outspoken pseudo-intellectuals. I wonder why no one has replied to any of my main points. Do you deny them? If so, it is up to you to refute...

    I didn't say that nor did I imply it. The point, which you seem to have deliberately overlooked in favor of a straw man tactic, is that if we are victorious then Iraq will become a fully functioning democracy. Contrast this to the Islamofascist plan for regional and eventually world domination...

    Wow. Just wow. With all due respect, you are completely wrong. But don't worry, we're all wrong sometimes. So I encourage you to look at the evidence and then tell me what you think. First, we are fighting terrorists. Let's just call them what they are. These are not mere semantics. If you...

    No sales tax on bibles

    People, people, look: this is not a big deal. Taxing Bibles is not going to prevent anyone from accessing one, especially when they're distributed freely everywhere, even online. Besides, I remember Jesus saying something about rendering unto Caesar...
