I dunno about creationism as there seems to be little to no
science to back up creationists claims.
There is plenty of science to suggest evolution is real and natural.
That said I remain a person of faith and I believe in a Power greater
than mankind.
Irrational as hell ain't it?
Maybe not...
su·per·sti·tion1

Noun
an irrational, but usually deep-seated belief in the magical effects of a specific action or ritual, especially in the likelihood that good or bad luck will result from performing it
Faith is confidence or trust in a person or thing; or the observance of...
I see zero connection between an act of faith like prayer
and superstition like wearing a rabbits foot.
Wasn't very lucky for the rabbit now was it.
I see no "superstition" in believing in a Power greater than mankind.
Now I admit that I've attended some services, usually a funeral, where
there...
In cultures where child bride are accepted it does no mean
the "husband" is a pedophile at all.
From what I understand no sex happens until the child bride isn't
a child any longer.
Back in the day in American 14 year old brides were common. Very common.
I just skip over the whole pedophile crap.
Why?
Because it's crap and an insult to Islam.
I don't support, but to study Islam with an open mind.
It is after all a HUGE world wide religion and worthy of learning
about.
Y2K
I remember that oh so well.
A horrendous event indeed.
Absolutely NOTHING happened.
Darn!
About 6 months after the Y2K non event there were some fantastic
deals on guns, ammo, military surplus gear of all kinds, canned food,
even unused underground shelters if you paid the...
I doubt "spy" in the classical sense of the word is accurate.
Also it isn't likely they will get shot in Russia either.
That is speculation of course. I will say I wouldn't want to be them
when they get back to Russia.
I dunno 'bout that.
Most of the N.T. is considered canon from what I've dug up.
Go here if ya like for a list of canon.
Biblical canon - Wikipedia
What do you mean by "falsely" canonized?
A bold claim.
Your accreditation is???????????
Yeah, cops have a lot of problems period.
Not a first and not for a few years.
Depends upon the area also.
I've been to the Ohio Academy about nine times or so for special training.
I met a lot of cops from all over Ohio, some from W.Va. and Pa. and
a few Federal people.
Police in "bedroom...
By the way the final gift I got from police work and the UGLY
one deals with so much, was alcoholism.
Three rehabs don'cha'know?
Common cop ailment.
The one cops won't ever talk about or often admit too.
Sometimes when I awake in the wee hours of the morning scared
to death I CRAVE a bottle...
At the end of my career I was Lt. Commander of a shift and S.W.A.T.
leader. Also designated sniper though I never capped anyone.
(Thank you God.)
We did things like dangerous felon arrests and drug & prostitution
house raids.
Believe it or not the raids weren't as dangerous as they may sound.
I...
Awwww, geee I feel a rant coming.
A small one.
Recall I'm a disabled police officer?
Well some of the reason I'm crippled is for DEFENDING folks.:policeofficer:
Like black folks, and Jehovah's Witnesses, and Gypsies, and others from WASP'S
to preachers.
WASP. If you don't know the term then...
...............and why the negativism towards Russia?
I don't want to live there but they, the Gov't, has come a long
way from the Cold War era.
Would I trust Russian were I a gov't official.
NO!
But it would be nice to warm up to a formidable power that
large and with so many resources and...
Perhaps so but I kinda thought the PEOPLE OF THE U.S. VOTED
not the people of Russia.
Like I remarked a few posts back.
We had an election. Happens every 4 years.
About half the voters are disappointed or depressed or angry or
a mix of those emotions.
The other half are probably satisfied.
The...
Now wait a minute!
'Splain "exploited" Wha'cha mean by "exploited"?
Do you mean selling sex such as sexy people demonstrating and promoting
merchandise like t-v, and magazine ads?
If so CHANGE IT.
You can't.
"we could talk about this reasonably, rationally, logically and intelligently"
Well written and I give that a BIG NO.
Ain't gonna happen. You're in therapy and working a 12 step program.
But I look forward to others responding a reading the results. :D
Besides I wonder why you've been on board...
