My rant! :woohoo:

That's weird considering I didn't make them out to be altruistic at all. I simply stated that they are businesses making what, upon even a small amount of reflection, look to be pretty darn good...

That's all well and good, but it's off topic. I'm simply talking about the knee jerk horror that a pesticide company would get into modified foods. As if a company isonly supposed to produce a single...

I just received one of the dumbest tweets I've seen in a while. Unsubscribing from a number of people who post nothing but politics and religion helped with this, so I suppose I should consider...

So their recorded findings will be available for posterity. Good for them. Still, unless the ruins were actually benefitting the people of Belize, the desire of some archaeologists is not enough to...

If this actually helps the people of Belize and raises their standard of living, then good for them. Archaeology is good and interesting, but the livelihoods of actual people living today is more...

Yes, it is, which is why I didn't do so. I did, however, imply that the hermeneutic that you're applying in this case is hyper-literal. Because it is. If you apply your hermeneutic consistently to...

1 down. 20 other prophecies of judgment to somehow explain hyper-literally. Get to it! This should be good.

I attend a PCA church just a few minutes from my house.

I did some research into what the various denominations believe on secondary issues(that they must be orthodox and accept the Apostles Creed...

It wouldn't have been proscribed if it was cruel / barbaric, as you say. That it may have had health benefits then that it wouldn't have due to modern sanitation practices wouldn't suddenly make it...

No, who is in the wrong is actually irrelevant as to who caused the schism. The entire Orthodox church at the time, including Rome, had procedures in place for discussing doctrinal differences,...

Wow. You went from being disingenuous to being downright nasty within the span of a few posts.

Honestly, nobody ever said Moses was perfect. But that has no bearing on his ability to accurately...

It's hard to learn when you already think you know it all. :wink:

Unless it's Blue Jolt. Then she'll drink it until she gets sick.

Grandvia is moving along swimmingly. Conspiracies are coming to light. The 116th's reputation is spreading. The new magistrate of the Thieves' Steps hates and sort of fears me.

There goes the honeymoon money. :hehe:

I had a couple bad days there, but for the most part I avoid sugar altogether.

My condolences.

Maybe I should do some laundry.

Shut Up and Drive is pretty catchy even if it is a Rhianna song.

It's official. There is such a thing as too much cheese.

I've read what Dee Dee has to say about this before. Revelation specifically says that Satan is bound so that he can no longer deceive the nations. It doesn't require a full or physical binding, or...

You have dogs. Context solved!

Over 50 pounds down and a brand new shirt.

What a pessimistic view. I'm actually expecting just the opposite, for the world to be Christianized(or at least mostly so) before Christ's physical return to wrap things up.

Last time I checked, about 2.2 billion of the world's ~7 billion people claim to hold Christian beliefs. Some quick math puts that at 31.4% of the world's population. I'm sure the actual number...

I think it's all pretty much irrelevant, really. Modern Israel is mostly descendants of those who were the "branches" cut off from the "true vine." That is, they ceased to be the covenant people of...

I think what does the most damage to their claim is the fact that they themselves are the product of a large schism. They were a single seat of the greater Orthodox Church that often fought over...

Hilarious Out of Context Quote of the Day

HOoCQotD:
Stop, drop, and grocery shop!

Never mind that there's a very good reason that we might put more effort into pro-life causes than at similar efforts targeted toward people at later stages of life -- namely that in utero is the...

I took one of those "ministry gifts inventories" when I first started going to church(of my own volition, that is) back when I first became a Christian. According to it, my number one gift was...

I've noticed a lot of tweets about the new pope, mostly from friends I know have little to no stake in Catholicism in the first place. My favorites are liberal friends whining about the new pope's...

I don't personally care if the motto is on our cash or not. But this case is just stupid. A motto of religious origin is not proselytizing in any meaningful sense of the word, not that such would be...

You can't go wrong with Dhoom 2. It shares a couple characters with the original Dhoom, but the stories are completely independent so you don't have to have seen the first one(which is much harder to...

I just answered that, so . . . yeah.

I met Cam Banks at Dragon*Con. He was the guy in charge of development for Magaret Weis Productions' line of Cortex Plus system games, and the latest one to roll off the presses was Marvel Heroic...

I got into my fair share of playground brawls up to about 4th grade, then switched to private school and never fought anyone ever again. I'd totally take up martial arts or boxing, though, but only...

The simple answer is that nobody actually knows.

You've already had one scenario presented by pancreas -- God set things in motion(which is the most likely possibility from a philosophical...

Might as well make a more serious reply.

1 - Agree. I'm not an inerrantist, at least not as the term is typically used. I find the Bible to be a reliable communication of the moral and spiritual...

I'm not sure where the series can go from here. This was so sudden . . . and so final.

Quanta will love this, even if the video part is kinda stupid:

Why does the bacon always run out? No fair.

Bestow upon me your magical healing properties, oh bacon. Nom nom nom. :duh:

If you can somehow remove the starch, sure. But without some serious frankenfood-making technology, that would leave you with nothing but melted bacon grease.

You don't realize how the nutrition industry is lying to you. Bacon good, potatoes bad!

Haven't seen one of those in a while.

Ermagerd, berkern. :duh:

Bacon is the best health food.

I want to go on a cruise sometime.
