    Trumps is thinking about firing Rod Rosenstien

    That would give a federal judge all they needed to swoop in. If Trump fires Rosenstien, Sessions, or Mueller> he's toast. If the military is put in the situation of having to remove the president> I can't imagine a straight arrow like Mattis wouldn't. Trump firing any of them would be moving...

    The _______ Commandments

    Yes, but both of these approaches. The approach of Jesus and aforementioned sages> goes against a clearly pesher exegesis of the Torah. Meaning that the most Orthodox of Jews wouldn't accept it.

    Louisiana Law To Ban Sex With Animals

    It's Louisiana, so no telling... It could be that it's same sex couples with animals Louisiana is trying to prevent- since sodomy is so bad and all. Same sex couples plus animals has to be like a double triple crime against nature.

    Is Harvard waging war on Christianity - liberalism run amuck?

    @whirlingmerc I'd like to ask you about this inconsistency I often see in right wing ideology- if you would. Usually, a conservative would agree that the consumers have the right to dictate an industry right? That's what drives and grows the industry. Why do you try to make colleges and...

    Kalam and Free Will

    Interestingly, I don't think many theists do accept Kalam today. I know I don't, but of course- I'm also not monotheist.

    The _______ Commandments

    The summation of the law, which is interestingly lifted from the Book of Deuteronomy and is Jewish in origin. Even though there it doesn't carry the same minimalist context.

    Assisted Suicide - A Helpful Option?

    I never feel qualified to judge someone that chooses suicide. I will say, it takes bravery to die on one's own terms. In such a way that you know death is going to result. I do think people have the right to die. Holding them here against their will fundamentally violates their governance over...

    The last post is the LOSER!

    I'm going to take the chance of losing. Because losing doesn't particularly bother me.

    The _______ Commandments

    I answered some other number because many Christian sects think all kinds of things are forbidden/permitted, and don't exactly agree on the details. I had to answer that way because I don't presume 'the Lord' inspired any Judeo-Christian commandments. The commandments carry no internal evidence...

    Left Facebook

    I've seriously been thinking about it, in light of the possibility of Russian trolls. That is added to the already unhealthy effects I think social media might be having on how we relate and discourse with one another.

    So why the non interventionist policy on the part of god?

    Epicurus had the following to offer on this question, which is one possible explanation: A blessed and indestructible being has no trouble within itself and brings no trouble on any other being. It is entirely free from all movements of partiality or anger, for all such things imply weakness-...

    Leaving Christianity

    Interesting you make this post, since I was thinking a day or two ago myself about the fact that Christianity is so far from what Jesus wanted and was about. His political activism has almost entirely been forgotten or dismissed as an unimportant detail in all the dogma. The fact that Jesus was...

    Jesus' Temptation to Idolatry

    If the Father is in Jesus and everyone is in Jesus- what is the actual difference? Oh, was I speaking about Christianity? Well no, in Christianity one might not see themselves as the Supreme Lord. Of course one also might. Catholicism has a mystic tradition.

    What Drives The Trump Haters

    Of course this went in the Conservative Only section so liberals couldn't critique it in any way :rolleyes: Even though it's about us...

    Am I Your Personal Savior

    This goes back yet again to my comment in your other thread. Jesus seems to have been to some degree a mystic. He understood at some level that God is within everything. He was inviting the use of himself as a focus toward God. My opinion... You see this devotion to guru most commonly in...

    Vaccines aren't mentioned in the Bible!

    Don't forget fried chicken. Particularly at southern church potlucks ;)

    Jesus' Temptation to Idolatry

    My opinion tends to be that Jesus was a mystic and a wisdom teacher. I've expressed such in other threads. Therefore he probably didn't mean himself when he spoke in glorified terms, but when one sees God as oneself- such distinction can lose any meaning. He clearly believed the Father was in...

    The consequences of Christian Dominion Theology

    Ahhh this looks like a fun topic to jump back into the action on ;) Yes and that is ironic given that Jesus was 100% opposed to oppressive political establishments. That more than anything probably led to his crucifixion. It's an overlooked part of Jesus's message that he was a political...

    How do you Define "Spiritual" and "Spirituality"?

    I define spiritual, as it currently means for me- that I find motivation, inspiration, and purpose in seeking something higher than myself. Albeit, I do so outside of an organized framework at present. I am starting to become more fluid. I'm not sure any concept I have of the Supreme Reality is...
