I do hope you know I was being facetious.....:D

..and don't forget to tithe!

I hear you, man. I, for one, highly respect you for thinking of your family first.

I don't believe in exercises in futility. He asked that it not be discussed, so we shouldn't discuss it. CarlVO, as the creator of this thread, you can ask a moderator to close/lock this thread for you if you desire and they will do it.

Do you have like-minded folks at your house of worship that you can ask this question of?

One man's "deadly doctrine" is another man's "denomination". :D

Happy Turkey Day!

So, to sum up the answers in this thread to your question BookishGirl, the answer is: A "possible maybe". :)

I totally agree, but many folks are going to believe the way they have been taught to believe, they don't want to hear otherwise, and nothing will sway their opinion - even when the truth is staring them straight in the face. That's why there are separate groups of like-minded Christians (even...

Jack, it was you who ignored me first by not so skillfully trying to side-step the question I asked you: Where did you get your doctorate and will you post your dissertation?

Thanks, Jack. Believe it or not, I know what accreditation is and it's importance. It's obvious that you and other fundamentalists don't think their schools or educators must meet any kind of recognized national standards. It's a good-old-boy system. Please Jack, tell me in one sentence...
