    "Throw grandma under the bus!"

    On the other hand, we (McCain's supporters) should all want to get Obama in the fall, as he is the most vulnerable of the two. In that spirit, the following looks reasonable to me - see if you like it: ---------------- NO KNOCKOUT; OBAMA WILL WIN ON POINTS By DICK MORRIS - Published on...

    Monty, What I believe is that they would have attacked us no matter what, because we are the strongest, richest, biggest presence on the globe. They (Islamist extremists) want domination on the whole Earth, we just want free exchange of goods and services: keep your precious oil, but, let me...

    I was explaining to my son, a couple years ago, that if someone who is unaware of Christianity or any other of the main religions, is uneducated and lives in the jungle or in the desert, came to me and told me that he can feel the presence, somehow, of the spirit Buku Buku, I would ask what does...

    Epicurus spoke or physical and spiritual pleasure at the same time, but he has been misunderstood that he only meant physical. Churches that teach someone to be "nice" have a fine family, a good job, enjoy life, etc, and, by the way, give something to the poor too, are quite Epicurian, imo. Not...

    Scholars who study religions see several characteristics that are common in the great ones, those who have stood the test of time (this is a very crude summary, but you can do your own research): a. Belief in God in a personal sense (eg, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc) or...

    My first question would be if you believe this spirit exists. Behind that question, I would try to ascertain how your presence and statements made me feel, if I sensed truth coming out of your lips. True religions make someone more peaceful, charitable and kind - is this the case here? Are there...

    Don't read the secular media and think that you understand Islam. People are not that stupid, and if they choose that as their religion (talking about those who are not coerced to parrot something some politician masquerated as an imam told them) there must be something there. I have read the...

    You are wrong, but continue in your offensive style, perhaps hoping that I will stop arguing with you. Well, you succeeded for now. :)

    No serious religion asserts that, only that we don't fully understand the nature of being and the extend to which various beings naturally interact with each other. An athlete runs faster than others without being supernatural. A saint shows more compassion or stronger intuition without being...

    The problem here is that your perspective is totally scientific, logical, and all you prove to yourself is that religion doesn't fit in there. I agree. Is prayer non-existent or impotent? Then why are billions of people praying all over the world? Because they are misinformed? Or could it be...

    This is absolutely wrong, unless you qualify quite a bit qhat you mean by confirmation and by claims. How do you confirm that you have dreams? That you like music? That you experience love for your wife? There's subjective truth and inter-subjective truth. What we call objective truth depends...

    From what I can tell, your religion is science, congratulations, that's what you believe in, for your personal reasons. I respect that, fine, I know many others who feel the same. But, to tell me that the only way one could possibly understand whatever is to use the scientific method, is...

    Jokes 2

    Three men were sitting on a park bench. The one in the middle was reading a newspaper; the others were looking in opposite directions and pretending to fish. They baited imaginary hooks, cast lines, and reeled in their catch. A passing policeman stopped to watch the spectacle and asked the man...

    Our Next President

    So, you decided, that after 9/11/01, it's better to hide under a bed, take drugs and hope they don't hurt you? And then, istead of voting for the Republican nominee, you will vote for the guy who's at the opposite side of the political spectrum? And you think that makes sense? Your words look...

    For my Christians Friends

    Why get "science" in this? Do you use science to decide what music you want to listen to? Which woman to marry? Who your friends are? Why is our timid little scientific method so important in deciding what to believe in a religious sense? But if you have already decided that "science" is the...

    Obama gets his ass handed to him

    Not sure. Looks more like if you lose a general election you're marked for life. Only Nixon beat that because of the Democratic turmoil in 1968.
