Can't argue with that! A bit severe, but you make a good argument. No doubt. :)rs7

Dan, I agree, this was beaten to death in your exchange with trade2000 or whatever his name was. But real quickly, yeah, Islam has teachings in the Koran that can and are interpreted to bring death and destruction to the infidels. But you can find all kinds of instructions in both the Old...

Purpose: To enjoy life as best as you can. Seems simple to me. Disastrous track record: Blame the zealots. Not faith in god. Psychological Damage: Blame the screwballs that propagate the garbage like "original sin" and use guilt to gain power. They are not the only religious leaders. Some...

Yeah me too. Almost. Getting close. (Not too close though). :)

The question then becomes, what is the meaning of life? The most common answer seems to be to perpetuate the species. But what sense does that make? Pass on our unknowingness (yeah, I just invented a word) about why we exist? So if religion gives people a "purpose", then I guess that is a...

Nobody's perfect. Eccept fore me. :)

We absolutely do. No question about it. Our intelligence agencies are horrible. But that is where the war will be fought, and that is the branch of our government that needs to be and will be fortified. My son is going into the Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Program. This is where they put the...

Remember when Israel bombed the nuclear facility in Baghdad? They accomplished their goal, didn't get into a protracted conflict, and have (so far) not had to deal with terrorist attacks from Iraq in reprisal. Strategy, intelligence, and security are what we need to win this war. Not massive...

Actually, they had quite a big problem. It was a mistake and apologies and reparations were made. Your post was really very good. But some of the assumptions are questionable. There are certainly more Moslems that are not enemies of our government or our nation than are. I do not...

Don't worry about it. It's fine. I was just giving you a hard time. Unfairly I guess. I just was educated as a journalist, and edit by instinct. But if you need an example of a poorly structured sentence: But I know you are just going with your "flow", so keep up the good work. Tom Wolfe did...

[/b] Your most coherent and sensible statement yet. Way to go!! Got to agree with you (even though you have a unique way of expressing yourself sometimes..work on that sentence structure. Darkhorse is available for tutoring). To think we are the only life in the universe is probably...

You can rise above that easily. I may not have "faith" in the bible, but I most definitely have faith in you Darkhorse! And this got pretty dull without you. Certainly you raise the bar. :)rs7

No? What if they were "plopped on earth" by aliens? Tell me what is possible and what is not. Maybe Noah's Ark was a spaceship. Who knows? Didn't you ever see the Star Trek movie with the Genesis machine (or whatever it was called)? Watch "2001 a Space Odyssey" All about evolution being...

I KNEW that sunday school teacher was not trustworthy:)

I stand corrected...just found this on the ever trusty web: (guess my sunday school teacher was holding out on us) "The most asked question in the world concerning the Bible is probably, "Where did Cain get his wife? The answer is obvious. If Adam and Eve, were the first man and woman...

You know I asked this in Sunday school when I was maybe 10 or 11 years old. I think the answer was some other people just happened along. Cain and Able took wives from somewhere. Not their sisters or their mother. Sounded a little too convienient to me. I didn't buy it, but hey, each to his...

(1)You could be right....I am hardly a scholar of the bible. I did think that was how the story went. But since it is all fable, I guess it isn't really important. (2)Logical maybe. But like you said, full of "absolutes" about things no one can know for sure. I don't disagree with his...

Missed the Boat, I don't think Tripacks explanation was meant to be "of the recent history". It was of biblical history (if that is not a contradiction in terms). It is the story of the land. Your explanation is of course an accurate telling of recent history. Documentable. Good post, Rs7

Why anger?

Chas, I wouldn't want you to change a thing! I am more amused by your posts than any others. It is great that you can work politics and religion into anything. You are my favorite. Love ya baby...don't ever change! :)Rs7 PS: I think it is probably safe to say all "stewardesses" are left...
