    Post new news... regarding Fergusion:

    Now that the grand jury has deliberated and called that there are no instances of decipherable accountable instances of guilt under Missouri law (after more than four weeks of deliberations), well then that's it. All calls for justice have been answered. NO? Then perhaps, it is about time to...

    Do Avatars Govern Our Perceptions Of Posters?

    That may be so. My avatar simply reflects my common nick, "Cal". Oh, and I read. Those that have come to know me, know that. Not really deep...nor mysterious. I continue to be such a letdown.

    Do Avatars Govern Our Perceptions Of Posters?

    Get off my lawn you miscreant!

    I hope to be back soon

    Typical. I'm always the last to know, last to find out, last to be invited, last to get that final cocktail before the closing bum's rush out the door. I'm so sorry to find out (now, doh) re: your marital situation...but I did "like" that pic you had with your sister recently. All the best! :)

    Strong Atheism doesn't exist

    You didn't ask, and any any ovations at this point are likely most unwelcome (perhaps unwarranted)...but if I wasn't already married for 25 years ongoing, loved my wife, and possessed a strange bond with all our resident animals "persons" lo these many years, I'd ask you on a date, or share a...

    Why do you honestly believe?

    I believe I heard it best from most self-professed "believers". "It's what I choose to believe is true". Belief IS a willful choice to believe (in something...anything). This may tend to explain (perhaps even define) why "believers" of any sort are immune to arguments/presentations of reason...

    Be Honest

    Agreed. My PM commentary is unchanged from public commentary. I would not express my views re: the LDS church any differently whether publicly nor privately. Those that know me know this to be true. :)

    How Christian is America, honestly?

    Yes, but perhaps not in the fashion you may expect. The US IS a predominately Christian-laden nation of self-described "Christians" (over 70%; the % number varies by source). Yet, that percentage IS declining. More and more "Americans" today do not affiliate with any specific "church" or...

    Atheism...meh...who cares?

    Leo said: "I look at it like this: Atheism is just not a theist. Rationalist or skeptic has to do with the tools of rational inquiry. And humanism has to do with how we relate to one another, and ethics." An interesting "qualification" you posit as some distinction, but it's not. Your...

    Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ?

    I voted "no", merely because the option I might have chosen was unavailable. It's hardly a secret nor a historically hidden accounting to readily observe that Christian beliefs, long ago, have repeatedly claimed pagan observances and "celebrations" as errant Christian 'beliefs". Facts are less...

    Still seeking any direct importance of smiles here.. Howzabout speaking plainly and directly instead?

    Science - how Accurate?

    Just curious...of what level of "accuracy" do you seek? Do refrigerators work near you? Microwave ovens? Cell phones? Any modern medicines that seem "miraculous" in their effects and outcomes? Just asking, but what levels of "accuracy" borne of "science" seem lessened by spurious and...

    I'm still here. :) I have no clue as to whether or not this post will reach you. Worth a shot. And yes, I'm still a stinker, when needs call. :) Perhaps new management will allow/accept transgressions of the past, perhaps not, but your concerns and interests are most appreciated. :) FB'ing...

    Do dreams take place in spacetime?

    I didn't know that either! :) Ain't we now both enlightened! It appears (though utterly unprovable) in "reality" that many other species capable of thought do "dream". Perhaps we are running out of available space, and don't know it! Me neither. Unless of course their are a heckuva lot of...

    What a relief. :)

    What Do You Know About the News?

    You answered 12 of 12 questions correctly. You scored better than 99% of the public and the same as 1%. I'm such a nerd.

    Communicating through time

    Not really, NO. Authors of science fiction, speculation, and sometimes pure guesswork have done so and more. "People" What people? Have their existed many "prophets", "mystics", "soothsayers", "mentalists"? Sure. Did some "believe" what they wrote about? Sure. Were many simple frauds? Sure...

    Teacher threesome scandal

    I might recommend a few favored crying beers, but that's for another thread. :)
