You miss the point. Religious scholars know that every part of scripture has its place: primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. The 10 Commandments is a lot more important than Deuteronomy or Proverbs or Kings etc where history and politics are discussed, Not to mention the chapters where the amount...

Now you know what I felt back in graduate school when friendly scientists were trying to save my scientific soul. Or when my father in law tells me for the millionth time that the Dems have the best plans for the country... Just tell the guy you are not interested in religion and he'll stop. Or...

I don't know or understand what society was like at that time, when the Germans lived on trees and the Egyptians buried you alive for kicking a cat. What I believe is that this whole framework was revisited and perfected about 2,000 years ago, you probably know it already. For example, take...

Religion is not here to tell you how to build stuff or propose elaborate elementary particle theories. Its goal is to guide you on how to live. What science does that? Psychology? Very doubtful, plus many hard core scientists don't even recognize that as a true science. Political sience...

You've got it all wrong, but I'm too busy to explain :)

Agree.

The use of the word faith in true religion is not the same as some think it is, gullibility. Faith in religion means openness, willingness to accept a different order of things. Of course the religious person needs reassurance, feedback, experiential confirmation of the divine. Or else he...

All you are telling me is that you believe that your perception of science is superior to faith or any religious thought that someone else might have. I disagree but will not try to change your mind. Imo, the true scientist sees his domain as complimentary to religion: like the sense of touch...

This Is Good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTiPk9pQN48&NR=1 :) :) :)

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the greatest sages the USA has ever known. Enjoy the following: 1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. 2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works. 4. Never miss a...

Correction Capital movement is like our breath - if it's not allowed to move out then it's not going to move back in and you die an agonizing financial death... that's basic economics as practiced throughout the world by all the serious democracies out there. Scott Walker imo is a real...

Wrt the first statement above, I believe that all scientific knowledge we've accumulated throughout the centuries is perfectly consistent with religion, as it regards a different sphere of human experience. A religious man prays to thank God for his life, and then builds a chair out of wood...

Capital movement is like our breath - if it's not allowed to move out then it's going to move back in and you die an agonizing financial death... that's basic economics as practiced throughout the world by all the serious democracies out there. Scott Walker imo is a real patriot, a very smart...

The correct, imo, perspective here is that everything in our sphere of understanding comes from somewhere. Therefore, it makes sense to accept that it all springs from a fundamental source that we cannot understand or fathom. That's where logic ends and intuitive percetion begins, aided by...

That's not what I'm saying. There's two types - those with no interest or any insight in the matter (agnostics) and those with a belief that there's no God (atheists.) The former attitude is a frame of mind. The latter is a type of religious belief. Imo, of course.

Apolitical = The state or quality of being apolitical can be the apathy and/or the antipathy towards all political affiliations. Being apolitical can also refer to situations in which people take an unbiased position in regard to political matters. Yes, being apolitical is another way of...

Are you implying that there's no such thing "supernatural?" In that case, define your sense of "nature"... What does it contain? Its own source, perhaps?

I'm not sure where's "up there" but, then again, where did "nothing" come from? It was either totally fundamental, outside space and time and logic, in which case that's your perception of God, or it was created somehow by God, the source of everything. Atheism is another religion, while...

The basis of most great religions (eg, Christianity, Judaism, Hiduism) is that God created everything. This includes the Earth, the whole Universe, time, the laws of nature, the laws of mathematics and probability, the whole framework that we call reason or logic. Plus a myriad other things we...

Don't forget that good Repubs are for a smaller Government role in our economy: fewer/smaller taxes going hand in hand with fewer/smaller subsidies and fewer/smarter regulations.
