This dude is pretty down on tithing: http://www.bible-truths.com/tithing.html But then he doesn't believe in hell either: http://bible-truths.com/lake1.html

But what does it mean? Someone round up the gatekeeper and the keymaster... http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2006-07-13T120627Z_01_L13421474_RTRUKOC_0_US-KAZAKHSTAN-EGG.xml&src=rss&rpc=22 Chicken lays mystery Allah egg ALMATY (Reuters) - A...

Hold on a sec. If you are against the judgmental evaluation of cultures other than your own, doesn't that necessarily preclude you from casting judgment on someone else's judgmental culture? Given the hypothetical assumption that internal logical consistency has value I mean. p.s. as a...

Actually there are no similarities whatsoever. If what was described is a cultural phenomenon, which it is, then race has absolutely nothing to do with it. If you or I were born into a self-destructive culture, and did not have the good fortune to escape from it, then we too would be...

Makes sense. I fully comprehend it logically. It's just hard to get one's mind around it: the spectacle of a culture so completely jacked up that logic, reason and human life itself have nil intrinsic value, crushed beneath the weight of an emotional imperative that doesn't even make sense...

Umm, no. Not even close. Wrong ballpark. Wrong sport.

Note on the article just posted: it's not necessary to agree or disagree whether we are "hard-wired" to be bad, so much as it useful to note that origins of human behavior are both complex and fascinating. What makes us do we what we do? How much is personal responsibility, how much is...

(continued final) The British neuroscientist Professor Steven Rose, meanwhile, stresses the absence of a social and communitarian dimension in much neuroscientifically informed discussion of human autonomy. Rose consistently rejects the view, widely expounded by his colleagues, that...

(continued) One of her gurus was the late Nobel laureate Francis Crick. At a neuroscience meeting in Orlando in 1996, I listened to Crick declaring: “Your sense of personal identity and free will are in fact no more than the behaviour of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,8123-2251248.html A head for trouble We like to think it’s our choice to help an old lady across the road or push her into the traffic. But an increasing number of scientists say we’re fooling ourselves. Are some of us just hard-wired to...

Apart from who's right and who's wrong in this conflict, I have to wonder if Palestinians are crazy. I mean literally crazy. I question their mental comprehension of the stakes at hand. I wonder if they have completely lost the ability to reason in any capacity whatsoever. It seems like...

Dudes, wake up. The morality stuff is just a smoke screen here. Think about how much revenue state governments rake in from public lotteries. And how much money the states that allow gambling rake in from casino taxes. And how much money the casino industry itself makes. And how much money...

And you can't save your intellectual integrity, which has been sacrificed to the overwhelming agenda of your faith. You are trying to warn me that if I sail too far, I will fall off the edge of the world. You point to places on the map you do not know and say "here there be dragons." But...

Hey, I can do if / then paragraphs like that too. How bout this one: For if God does indeed exist and values intellectual courage and critical thinking skills above all other ideals, seeing as how they are the defining attributes of man, then God's test of one's capacity for logic in the...

ROFL

Funny how driving an old beater can project an image of wealth moreso than a flashy sports car. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Ted Turner, Andy Beal, Ross Perot, Warren Buffett etc drive bangers because they just don't care... meanwhile the guy with the hot ride is statistically likely to be...

Whatever dude...

Anyone read "The Davinci Method" by Garret Loporto? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0977486001/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product/104-9224319-2402360?ie=UTF8 Are you: - Impulsive? - Risk-taking? - Distractible? - Sensation-seeking? - Insightful or Intuitive? Do you: - Crave risk and excitement? -...

I got a 32. What's interesting is that if I had taken the test ten years ago, I probably would have gotten a 37 or a 38. I am now an "outgoing" person who can make casual smalltalk easily and give presentations to hundreds of people at a time. But I chose to intentionally develop those...
