    As long as the weather stays like this I'm happy with it.

    OT: Extra large cat growled last night

    The MI DNR is just getting around to acknowledging that cougars exist here. Not sure why they insisted on denying it for so long.

    Democrats Likely to Make Same-Sex Marriage Part of Their Platform

    You can't compare a relationship between two consenting adults to inappropriate behavior with animals or child inappropriate contentography/abuse. It's apples and oranges. The next big fight after gay marriage will be to legalize polygamy. It's already happening in a few areas.

    OT: Extra large cat growled last night

    You need to get somebody out there to trap it. We have all kinds of animals in our city too. Cougars, coyotes, deer, turkeys, etc. With all the abandoned properties and people leaving town it's like a sanctuary to them.

    I guess I'm glad that I never registered as a Democrat.

    Evolution and you?

    My point is that a purely atheist view of the universe just doesn't make sense to me. Any way, I made a promise to myself to never discuss this topic since it only leads to arguments.

    Evolution and you?

    Opinions on evolution vs. creationism vary between church members but personally I don't have any issue reconciling my faith with science. If you really start to study the origin of the universe science still cannot explain where matter came from or what caused the Big Bang in the first place...

    Differences and Similarities between the OCA and ROCOR

    ROCOR is Russian and therefore Communist. Communism == bad. I kid, I kid. :D

    OCA's Metropolitan Jonah Resigns

    I ain't Russian, moving to ROCOR would make no sense.

    Is it possible to be atheist and be saved?

    You'd have to ask God. ;) None of us can speak for Him.

    Need motivation to continue reading Ware's book

    It's impossible to just sit and read when the kids are making a bunch of noise or need something done. You really do have to pare down your goals, maybe a few pages a day while you're in the bathroom even.

    Turkish Muslims demand the Hagia Sophia to be tuned into a mosque

    It's just a building. Yeah, I know it has some historical significance but is it really worth fighting over?

    Wow, "You're Not Special" Speech is a real one-of-a-kind! LOL

    While I agree with the premise I don't think commencement is the right time or place to make rants like this. The message is just going to go in one ear and out the other.

    Gender separation in Orthodox churches

    I visited a ROCOR parish out in Joliet and they'll correct you if you stand on the wrong side. Women are also required to cover their heads in that church.
