Thank you for the Derren Brown reference... I had not heard of Derren Brown before. I watched "Messiah" as well as "The Heist". I also watched some of his other videos. They were very interesting and entertaining. I don't really think it applies very much to what's being discussed here...

Because there's such a strong innate human tendency to perceive morality as a fact that can be ascertained. When people change their views on a moral issue, they tend to say that they were previously mistaken. This is contrasted to art or taste, where they would be unlikely to say such a thing...

Yeah, my stomach/intestines also have a violent protest whenever I eat Papa John's. It's the only pizza that does that. I think it's just more greasy/fattening.

In TN they put the cheese on top also. PJ is the only chain I know of that does that.

I very much dislike calling Christ a "personal" Lord and Savior. Maybe that term comes from the fact that it takes a "personal" commitment from us, and God's work in us must be personal, meaning it can't come from our heritage or simply joining a church. That's just my speculation. I don't...

I agree, they should ban the Vuvuzela (I think it means "stupid trumpet" in Zulu :) ). I love the World Cup. Wish they had it every year.

In no particular order... River City Ransom (NES) Halo (XBOX) Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (XBOX) NHL 2K6 (XBOX) Subspace (PC)

I don't think follower of Christ is active here anymore... I like Chrome except for the fact that you can't right-click an image and select "Set as Wallpaper."

I'm not gonna do it just because some girl asks me to. Forget about it. I have, however, killed two brown recluses and two black widows in my garage so far this year.

Sorry, this is a late response to an older post... I certainly don't think these articles provide sufficient evidence for the proposition that superstitious people are more easily deceived by con-artists. If you do, that's fine. Because at any rate, it doesn't matter to me even if that...

That's funny. Reminds me of reading Robinson Crusoe.

Wrong. happyjoy was foolishly attempting to dismiss miracles a priori.

I like unsweetened tea, but I prefer it lightly sweetened. The problem is that what most people consider sweet tea is drastically over-sweetened.

It's hotter than two goats in a pepper patch.

So would it be valid for said rapist to claim that no harm was done to the victim?
