    piercings

    What about having your tonsils removed? Or your wisdom teeth? Are those evil?

    Church stops black wedding

    And yet change didn't occur until the media shamed them into action... If the Church's attitude is that outsiders are unimportant, that's their right. My thoughts would be that if they were truly interested in winning people over to Christ (as opposed to acting as a social club for the status...

    piercings

    I assume then, that you don't cut your hair, or fingernails, or wash off the sweat that God made your body produce? Because of course that would be arrogant.

    piercings

    (Didn't you read my first reply to this topic?) For some believers, nothing is as sinful as an action or expression that they're not interested in doing. It often shocks these people to know that God loves and has a plan for all people, not just those identical to themselves. Let us take a...

    piercings

    Well, if you want to be a bit more tactful, ask them for the specific scripture verses that state piercings are against God's will. I've never had any issues with skin overgrowth or abrasion; but I have two hoops that I occasionally remove. I remember it being occasionally sore for the first...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution and morality

    There are some cases in nature where altruism is beneficial; but there's far more (in my experience anyhow) where the Nash equilibrium is to defect. Game theory alone can't explain it as well as ethologists would like.

    US Drought 2012 Worst Since Dust Bowl 1930

    *Facepalm* HAARP is an atmospheric research station. It's not a weather control device. Neither the USA nor China has any such technology. People get a lot of mileage out of HAARP conspiracy theories because atmospheric ionization sounds a lot more interesting than it actually is.

    How would you spend your time

    Three months? Pft, more than enough time to discover a cure for whatever was killing me.

    piercings

    In my experience, most Christians are against anything outside their comfort zone. If you want to get the piercing, get it. If anyone tells you it's sinful, evil, or whatever, tell them that [whatever they are wearing]<whatever they're="" wearing=""> is sinful and evil. One of the benefits...

    Church stops black wedding

    If that is the case, it's an even worse outcome. The racists won. Ultimately, they (and not God) are the ones who decide who gets to enjoy the sacrament of marriage and under what conditions. Anything else now is just lip service. Pathetic that it takes the media to shame Christians into...

    Church stops black wedding

    Except that the couple remains unmarried, due to this "extreme minority" that you describe. This leads me to believe that within the majority of those professing to be against the overt racists, there must exist a plurality of individuals who are silently complicit in it. An extreme minority...

    Church stops black wedding

    Not really, because I'm not a secularist. Even if I was, I'd like to think I would be calling people out on their stupidity rather than having the media do it for me. But does it go without saying? It was accepted until the media got ahold of it and generated outrage. More than anything, I...

    Was Martin Luther truly saved? He remains as an enigma to me....

    I doubt it. He was a vitriolic antisemite and very insincere in public (he allowed a rich follower to marry two women, helped him cover it up, and then publicly lied about it until caught).

    Church stops black wedding

    Ah, Christian tolerance. Gotta love the doctrine that God made all people equal before Him, except of course for visible minorities and anyone else who might be different in any way. I honestly don't understand how people can be part of a religion that pulls this garbage.

    Bossiness

    Intentionally do the opposite of what they say.

    Father of Aurora shooter to testify to Senate...

    It's also possible you'd be corrupt enough to smash an asteroid into the Earth. Unless you can show that they had the means and ability to do so, and in fact used those means, it's all just speculation. Is there evidence that he was about to "blow the whistle" on anything? This wasn't a very...

    Gangsters and Banksters

    In no way. You're welcome to stuff your money under your mattress at home if you choose. Or you can find a bank that offers a simple account with no monthly fee. They do exist. I assume you're using the term "tariff" rhetorically... in any case, they almost always send out information about...

    Father of Aurora shooter to testify to Senate...

    Not really, no. - He wasn't the one who did the shooting - The senate hearing has nothing to do with the shooting - It was probably scheduled well before the shooting - The shooter wasn't living at home when this happened - The father sounds like an educated person whose testimony is...

    Gangsters and Banksters

    You agreed to their terms when you opened your account. If you don't like this way of doing business, you are free to take your money elsewhere. I'd suggest looking into a credit union, as people tend to find them friendlier than major banks. While I'm not overly sympathetic to the bank, they...

    Are People Aware

    This is neither the first drought nor will it likely be the last. I'm all for Biblical prophecy, but drought cycles are a natural phenomenon.
