    The Sun Is a Boy

    It makes sense that a sun is a son. But shouldn't a daughter be a girlilla or gargirl? And what's up with pluto? They demoted Mickey's dog to a planetoid? I saw a movie "Journey to the Seventh Planet." But why did they call it the 7th planet rather than using its name?

    Atheists acknowledging historical Jesus' goodness

    Wyatt Earp, legendary marshall, took guns away from everyone but law enforcement, and thereby cleaned up his town. He advocated gun restriction for others, but not for himself. Isn't God doing the same? He (God) says that we can't kill, but apparently He (God) can.

    Atheists acknowledging historical Jesus' goodness

    Some theists assert that infidels (non-believers) will go to hell, and it doesn't matter how good they are. Many people "think" that they are going to heaven, but they have sinned horribly. We've just seen several Religious Right presidents lead us down the road to hell. Watergate, Iran...

    Dark Matter Electromagnetically Debunked

    BLACK HOLES AT CENTERS OF GALAXIES: Many decades ago, I suggested to Dr. Virginia Trimble, that the center of our galaxy (Milky Way) might be a black hole. She told me that it would suck in all matter if it was there. I didn't think so, because I knew that it was just like any other star...

    Atheists acknowledging historical Jesus' goodness

    At first I thought that morality has nothing to do with genes. But, come to think of it, you might have something there. Humans are not the only creatures that "usually" don't kill their own species. Many social animals, like chimps, generally don't kill each other. However, there are...

    Atheists acknowledging historical Jesus' goodness

    That'll fix that stubborn fig tree. Now I have to milk the cat. If we're going to follow someone's rules, we should first decide if the rules are sane.

    Atheists acknowledging historical Jesus' goodness

    Assuming that there is a God. Morality is (how God wants us to behave). God isn't bound by the same rules. Even if there is not a God, the dietary restrictions of Othodox Jews were designed to keep them (Jews) safe in a filthy world with diseases and no refrigeration, and to remind them to be...

    It just makes so much sense...

    Tree of the knowledge of good and evil - Wikipedia According to the hypertext link above, Jews used to think that good and evil were separate, but having eaten from the tree of knowledge, good and evil mixed. Maybe in the Garden of Eden, Adam (and maybe also Eve) were immortal (couldn't die)...

    Disappointed in our bishop

    I agree that Black Lives Matter and Gay Rights don't try for special rights. However, President W. Bush, who was very proud of hiring minorities, tried to cancel affirmative action, on the grounds that it was discriminatory. Reverend Martin Luther King Junior said "I have a dream that some day...

    Disappointed in our bishop

    I agree. We have the same type of balance with the environment. If we desalinate, we dump brine into the ocean and suck eggs into our water filters. So, my proposal is very similar. We need to alter nature to undo the negative changes. An example is off-shore oil platforms that have...

    Disappointed in our bishop

    I'm too verbose.

    Disappointed in our bishop

    I agree. Child-raping priests have unconsentual sex (crime). Gays, on the other hand, have consentual sex (prohibited by the bible, but only God is their judge).

    Disappointed in our bishop

    Giving special rights to minorities is racism. The intent is to compensate for racism with racism.

    Disappointed in our bishop

    How dare a Christian be tolerant of God's children!!!! Only God is the judge. "Judge not, lest ye be judged." We must love all, and it is up to Gays to refrain from Gay sex as Christians. Not killing (also rooted in Christian teaching). . .yet they support wars, and only National Rifle...

    Religion in the Middle Ages

    Mantras by rote (Hail Marys, for example) lost their meaning. They remind me of first graders who are forced to say the pledge of allegiance. Many people want to force kids to say it, because they say that they are pledging to help America. But, most kids don't know what the words mean. I...

    God explaining himself?

    Your two points are interesting: 1. God ineffable: (too great to be put into words). 2. God all powerful (can do anything)...including put into words what He (God) is. God can teach, but we would have to learn. Is God's power sufficient to teach us even if we are incapable of learning? It...

    GB Sanctions Patriarch Kiril

    It's like walking on egg shells to oppose a nuke totin' Communist dictator bent on war. If Putin kill the leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church, who would minister to the people? Perhaps a softer touch is necessary to slowly and gently assert the right path, rather than die in sudden and...

    Why Did God Create Atheists?

    W. C. Fields said that when God was passing out noses, he thought that he said "roses," so he asked for a big red one. (Hung over, constantlly drunk). If common sense is common, why don't theists understand that God said "thou shalt not kill" not "kill without proof, and try to unscramble the...

    Why Did God Create Atheists?

    "Why did God create atheists?" Chat with intellectual equals. Someone has to tell the pious not to kill (if they insist upon war and insist that they must defy God's commandments). Isn't it odd that the prim and proper are the ones who insist upon violating God's laws. However, atheists...

    Christianity Is Only Popular Because Of Its Idle Threats

    Fear of the unknown. Who ever came back from hell to tell us what it is about? According to the bible, two Satanic demons from hell (Dragon and son Beast) will rule the most powerful nation in the world (Revelation 17:18) which will defeat and corrupt Iraq and that nation is know as the Whore...
