    Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008.

    Yes, Dick Morris makes sense, the guy McCain will trounce in November will be Obama! One key element of this that he missed, however, was that Hillary's win will redouble the intra-Democratic-Party power struggle over the next few weeks/months, helping the Republicans. And we never look a...

    Some Recent Jay Leno Gems "The way Hollywood people do recycling these days is to take fat out of their ass and inject it into their lips!" "Two women in Seattle, WA reported to the police that a ghost visited them at night and had sex with them. Despite the gauzy, eerie texture of that...

    Yes! Now you got it. It's my choice, that's all. That's why we all get so angry when others impose their own religion to those who don't want it. Not that my choice has no repercussions, but it's my choice. Sort of like deciding to marry that gorgeous 22 years old girl, 31 years ago: best...

    I am not sure how the whole system works. He gave us eyesight, but some are born blind. Is that analogous? Some little kids have an accident and lose they eyesight... is that a better example? There is no greater mystery than our struggle to understand, or feel through, His plan about life's...

    I don't know what you are talking about. "All human understanding?" Who said that? "Evidence" in a logical sense, affects a very small part of our lives, the part that I call "fixing chairs." The big parts, those which have to do with who we are, what we like and not like, what we want to do...

    First, please read my whole sentence - I'm talking about both atheism and also lack of a moral compass at the same time. Second, I'm not getting my faith out of a book, who ever said that? The Scriptures are the Cliff Notes, a reminder, a tape to be played when you have forgotten a detail of...

    Please don't tell me what I "intentionally" missed, because this is not the place (and I am not the type) to start trading insults. Theologians do not, and should not offer any evidence. Reading the Scriptures should not give you any "evidence." Religion is outside the realm of what current...

    I was born an Orthodox Christian (my father was actually a priest) and that's where I am. I never disparaged any other religions or denominations because I just don't know enough, and, I understand that, had I been born in that religion or church, that's where I would have stayed. The big...

    I am not sure what exactly you are referring to, but Enlightenment (theosis) is the goal of every religious person, certainly every Christian, the purpose of our lives. That's what we do in this life: getting enlightened.

    I said logic, not reason. Of course reason is common to both fields, but slow little logic, the "show me objectively [whatever that may mean] kind," is a limited tool that scientists use to go over everything in great detail. And, no-one is disparaging anything, not me. Every thinking faculty...

    I said I did it, the accounts are perfectly fine and in agreement with each other. Stop scratching at the Himalayas, stop taking spoonfuls of water out of the ocean, you are wasting your time.

    One way to see this endless discussion, religion vs science, is to think of it as the imaginary debate between a cat and a piranha. The cat says, I'm the strongest one; the piranha, from his water bowl, responds that he is the strongest of the two, and if the cat wants to find out why doesn't...

    I had never heard of this Barker character, but I understand the question and am perfectly certain that there's nothing there. In your previous post you had mentioned the days up the Resurrection, but now I see that you are talking about the period between the Resurrection and the Ascension...

    Come to think of it, my daughter came to me after school yesterday and asked me how was my trading day. I told her that I had closed three trades and put aside a net profit of a little under $950. She called her mother and told her, who, then, told me "good, because I need to buy a few new...

    That other man was pushed by a gangster from the 20th story of the building. As he was falling, another gangster shot him from the 10th story balcony and killed him instantly. Which one of the two wiseguys killed the man? :) :) :)

    This is so biased and wrong, it amazes me. How many scientists worked hard at curing diseases and inventing better ways to grow crops just because of their faith and reliance on God? We don't "attribute the unknown" to God, we feel that God underlies everything, known and unknown. In other...
