    Life of Brian

    I reacted a bit when I first saw this movie, wondering if it was sacreligious or whatever. Then, through a discussion with a professor (a Christian) I realized what the movie was about. Not only is it not about Jesus, it really isn't really about Brian. The whole point of the film is to...

    Should Christians watch Game of Thrones?

    I think this points to an important principle: Depiction is not endorsement. We Christians often lose sight of the fact that not every portrayal of a sin or bad behavior in a movie, tv show, or book is an endorsement of that behavior. We all seem to get this if it's the mean kid bullying Opie...

    Should Christians watch Game of Thrones?

    Which makes it more baffling that you couldn't follow it. No, you didn't just simply ask what was the big deal about lust. You had to throw in "and you all are worried about lust? ROFLMAO" and "Man.. you can't buy the kind of entertainment that takes place in this forum... Truth is always...

    Should Christians watch Game of Thrones?

    So you're clearly that guy. The guy who is more interested in playing gotcha than having a conversation. If you want to show me in a rational way how my comments are judgmental or narrow minded, I'm happy to continue this conversation with you. If, as I suspect, you're using those words just...

    Should Christians watch Game of Thrones?

    If you had been following the argument carefully, you would know that the concern with some is not in what it depicts per se, but how what it depicts might tempt people toward lust. Naked people tempting viewers to lust is a real thing, despite the efforts of you and others to minimize it and...

    Should Christians watch Game of Thrones?

    So you see no distinction between seeing something by chance, without looking for it, that might cause you to lust, and choosing to watch something that you know is going to cause you to struggle with lust? Contrary to what you apparently think, it absolutely does matter whether what you're...

    White House declares Trump and other Republican candidates 'Disqualified' from being President

    Just for the record: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or...

    White House declares Trump and other Republican candidates 'Disqualified' from being President

    Your post (#2) stated that Trump's proposal should be considered treasonous. First of all, it's absurd to think that someone who isn't even in an elected office could be held up as treasouness for an opinion or a proposal. That's just silly hyperbole. Secondly, laws of treason would only...

    White House declares Trump and other Republican candidates 'Disqualified' from being President

    Are you unaware of the fact that the people referred to are not American citizens, haven't even arrived here yet, and therefore are not subject to "freedom of religion" or any other right or privilege afforded by our Constitution?

    Ben carson lying about honesty

    No need for trembling. I'm pretty thin and in good health. By my mind is a steel trap, so maybe that's what you fear. :) You're not likely to hear, or want to hear, anything that lies outside of the narrative presented to you. So all that's left for me to do is to wish you a good day. I...

    Ben carson lying about honesty

    We may or may not agree on his qualifications (I believe he is at least as qualified as the current President was or is), but I certainly agree with the post overall. There's not a person on the face of the planet who wouldn't be subject to some of these little squabbling points, including...

    Ben carson lying about honesty

    Which site? Politico? Carson's campaign has now posted actually images of West Point PR from around the time in question which clearly uses the word "Scholarship". You can believe what is there, or you can insist on keeping your head stuck in the dirt yelling "The sky is red! The sky is...

    Ben carson lying about honesty

    Your "simple facts" completely ignores the actual fact that West Point actually refers to these offerings as "scholarships" on their website and elsewhere, as do many if its officers. You should probably consider getting your facts from an actual source, not Politico and Salon and the like...

    Ben carson lying about honesty

    Are you serious?!? During both of Obama's campaign's, the majority of the media was not only exceedingly uncurious about O's accomplishments, education, associations, etc.; and tripping over themselves to joing his campaign efforts instead of...you know...reporting; they were actively hostile...

    The carpenters

    Oh man, you have to check out "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". It was actually Billboard's #1 song for 1972. I promise it'll slay you. Roberta Flack brought something unique to pop music. There were a lot of black artists bringing "gospel" styiings to R&B, but it was all the same kind...

    Who was the 'Your So Vain!' song about?

    I always heard it was Warren Beatty. Nonetheless, it's a great song.

    The carpenters

    Oh man, there have only been a small handful of female singers who could touch Karen's voice. I'd say it's darn near perfect. In fact, I might have to say that the only voice I've heard that I think is better is Roberta Flack. I think the Carpenters might be another band who are considered...
