    profile picture icon

    I removed my profile picture a long time ago, but the camera icon is still showing up in my posts beside my name (and it links to a broken page, of course). Is there a reason this doesn't disappear? thanks, folks.

    Baby it's cold outside

    Being on the outside is harder than I thought! All my life I've been part of Christianity in some form or another. I was raised in a passionately vibrant Christian home; I "prayed the prayer" when I was 9; I spent the rest of my life never once doubting that there was a God (Yahweh) and Jesus...

    Without Adam and Eve

    this is a slight spin-off from the original sin thread. without Adam and Eve and the Creation myth, what would probably be different about our theology, doctrine, and beliefs? Some things that come to mind for me are: 1) Original Sin. Without this story, how would we come to think that a sin...

    "Expelled" private screening at TLN... should I go?

    Would you go to a private screening of Ben Stein's new documentary Expelled? I have a slight bias against the Total Living Network (TLN) :sorry:, but does it really matter where it's held? I have been doing a lot of fun layperson research on evolution, intelligent design, and so forth in the...
