    Fight Club. Otherwise known as the UKIP leadership contest.

    Putting aside that it was the Tory and not the UKIP branch of Vote Leave making that promise, Farage (and, presumably, his successor - Raheem Kassam anyone?) has rightly pointed out for years that if Parliament diverted some of the money they so generously give away to rich warlords in foreign...

    Do you or have you ever donated money to the Church?

    I do tithe, for the simple reason that Churches everywhere are dying out in this country and need all the help they can get.

    PS3 game recommendations?

    For RPGS, if you're into medieval fantasy, I'd recommend Skyrim or DAO, particularly the former. And if you happen to be a fan of anime, Valkyria Chronicles may be suitable. I can't think of many pure adventure games on the PS3, but Heavy Rain stands out. The Mass Effect franchise, which has...

    Theistic Evolution, Atheistic Evolution or Creationism?

    You could put me in the "don't care" category. The importance of such a thing is overstated and certainly irrelevant to the question of salvation. I know what I don't believe, however. I don't believe in a God who creates beings capable of art and maths and science and sending men to the stars...

    Ron Paul's Iowa GOP Debate Question & Answers

    When even the self-professed libertarians doubt Ron Paul's viability, you know he's doomed to a resounding failure! However, I suspect his primary concern is his son's future in politics rather than electoral success.

    Do TEs regard Noah and the Ark as symbolic?

    According to Philo of Alexandria, the Flood is a metaphor for the cleansing of the soul; the Ark represents the body and Noah the righteous mind.

    The Imitation of Christ

    My favourite passage: Critics have called this book masochistic, but to me it is simply the ultimate anti-depressant.

    In Iran, pastor awaits decision on execution

    Well, if there is such a thing as a "Sons of Ishamel" sect, it certainly wouldn't exist in Iran. The Arabian cultures, of course, view themselves as sprung from Ishmael, but Iran is not an Arabian state and most people there are more likely to call themselves "Sons of Cyrus."

    Proof of a Soul?

    You should look into the work of Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff. Their theory that non-local consciousness is facilitated by a microtubulin network sentitive to quantum mechanical effects, if true, would indicate that: 1) Consciousness is a non-local phenomenon indepenedent of the brain...

    Banning DDT - Good Idea or Not?

    Just interested what people's views are, especially those with backgrounds in ecology and/or entomology. Was Rachel Carson right, or were her opponents justified in deeming her The Hysterical Spinster?

    Pre-Adamite Doctrine, History and Teaching

    What of Arnold Murray? The World Wide Church of God? These people are hardly "white racialists". Getting back on topic: Not that I'm a Creationist, but I think the Catholic Encyclopedia provides the best scriptural refutation of Pre-Adamism:

    Pre-Adamite Doctrine, History and Teaching

    The problem with this line of thinking, Research3, is that Catholicism is a Christian creed, whereas your cult isn't.

    Pre-Adamite Doctrine, History and Teaching

    The ignorance of the so-called "Christian Identity" people only serves the agenda of the Korean gaijin who occupy our ancient homelands. Now dog, you will be silent while I tell you the true history. Interruption will be cause for my katana to meet your neck, as is my right as an Anglo-Saxon...

    Polygenist Creation Models

    Agassiz, sure, he was a polygenist, but he at least maintained that all races were endowed with a soul, something which you seem to deny. Knox was a polygenist, but the fella wasn't even a theist, much less a creationist. He seems to have adhered to Lamarckian evolution. Nott, funnily enough...

    The 10 Things That Would Be Different If The Federal Reserve Had Never Been Created

    Why not? With so much instant-info at the fingertips of economists it'd be a simple task to release precisely the right amount of fiat currency to oil the cogs of the economic machine. There'd be no inflation due to exactly the right amount of money following the production of goods and services.

    Favourite Walt Disney Film?

    Agree with you about TANGLED. Easily the best Disney film yet made this century, and one of the greatest of all time IMO.

    Are there any female creationists?

    Sylvia Baker is the only name that springs to mind, but if you watch the God Channel long enough you'll see plenty of women with headworn mics, giving seminars on ID.
