Yeah, I tried to get recruited into their trials.

Your response let's me know that you don't understand what I'm saying - that you haven't managed to parse my meaning. Sadly.

But they aren't. Passages that seem contradictory are usually resolvable. The squeaky wheel does not get the grease if the wheel itself is not valued. Some have no mouth, but must scream. And the screams of many are heard only by God, if indeed God cares. What areas of life isn't there solid...

Nevertheless, it's interesting how controversial basic christian charity is on this forum - from those who are passive about withholding charity from undesirables to those who are actively arguing for the physical and sexual abuse/mutilation of the masses of men - sourced from a complete lack of...

No, I haven't forgotten, but there is no contradiction in what I've said - parts of a complex reality - and you've added on powers to me that I never claimed to possess. All to what, ignore my points and call me psychotic. Perhaps the entirety of the pre-modern world would be considered...

My location is not public information. The source is from the NYT's tracker.

Occam's Razor dude.

That's a question of use.

Wrong. Nothing I said is unbiblical, indeed, it is biblical - as the concepts I describe are ubiquitous in ancient culture. Nobody in antiquity, including St. Paul who elaborates quite a lot using these topics in the epistles to the Corinthians - the stream of consciousness is not the person at...

Then my criticism still stands. I'd puke if my middleschool/highschool catachesis was like that. And, it was like that, hence my atheism. My only solace from such drivel was to blast more edifying heavy metal on the sound system beforehand. And the teach got my constant and public criticisms.

No, 'Jews,' as in Rabbinical Judaism, were generally polygamous until the 11th century and the practice didn't die off until probably the 14th century. The entire politic of the Church is opposed to this. None have the right to enact the laws of demons. And those that do suffer the punishment...

What age group we talking about for 'kids?'

If it's for kids, why do all the Greek Churches (all five or so in my area) use it for adult education?

In the discussion of phenomena, one's own sentiments in regard to praxis and solutions isn't particularly relevant. I, as one removed, speak only of phenomenon. But, we have limited control over our responses, which is mathematically predetermined and scientifically outlined. There is only...

"The person running amok doesn't always choose his target consciously. With his urge for spectacular publicity he is sometimes trying to correct an imbalance. Through the act of killing, he or she compensates their own lack of celebrity of importance. By the end of the twentieth century, man has...

Almost every institution in society is designed to make sure silence is necessary to survive. There are no resources available for the voiceless. If you are not silent, then you will be a target and you will be beaten to the ground. "He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of...

Modern Biblical Scholarship begins with false assumptions created by self-proclaimed 'superior and more enlightened' German reformers, which somehow got perpetuated as reasonable and taught everywhere, despite being a-historical and strangely Hegelian.

Don't be patronizing.

It inherently must be. An experts, having been judged as having more valuable insight into a specified topic, must inherently be the result of a value judgement, in that his insight is considered valuable. Without a value judgement, there is nothing distinguishing greater or lesser insights or...

I do not think government has a corner on incompetence. Government is at it's most incompetent when it works with incompetent private contractors. I saw that first-hand in a $10mil database contract. But the previous database had a highly competent contractor at the lead and the project executed...
