    Debater Slayer Tutors Godobeyer

    It takes a lot of courage and trust to put this out here. Thank you both.

    Meanwhile, in Canada.....

    Hmmm. THAT looks familiar. I think we are enjoying the same weather.

    Irish pastor on trial for 'insulting Islam'

    The Irish law appears, from my very very brief search, to be based on the fact that the words were "offensive" and publicly disseminated. I don't think we have a right not to be offended. We do have the right not to have hate incited against us. But it seems to me that the line between those...

    Jews are not trying to build a Temple/synagogue on the Temple Mount

    The site is something like 45 acres. And the exact site of the Temple and the Holy of Holies is by no means certain. There are at least three different theories that I am aware of. And the traditional theory that its foundations lie under the Dome of the Rock seems least likely to me.

    Jews are not trying to build a Temple/synagogue on the Temple Mount

    What makes you think anything will happen to it?

    Why can't people just leave the Jews alone?

    If there is to be another Palestinian State, or two, the boundaries between them and Israel have yet to be determined in negotiation. The presence of Jewish residents on any of the disputed land does not constitute "theft" of Palestinian land. No more so than the presence of Arab Muslim...

    Hunger Games Quadrilogy

    Let me be clear. There are plenty of elements of really great writing in the book series. An author can have strengths and weaknesses in their writing, or even in individual books. I'm not saying the author is a "bad" writer. I enjoyed the first two books. The last book, though, had a...

    Hunger Games Quadrilogy

    I consider it bad writing when an action hero becomes transformed into an ineffective, pointless character at the climax of the book. The movie did a better job in its portrayal of Katniss than the books did (mostly because of J-Law).

    Hunger Games Quadrilogy

    Agree. At least the movie had the talented actors, the special effects, the music, the costumes and makeup and some big explosions to distract you from the bad writing.

    Hunger Games Quadrilogy

    Not even Jennifer Lawrence can save bad writing. The flaws in the movie are a direct result of the flaws in the books. Its a writing problem. (So, no, you don't want to read the books).

    Mandatory Birth Control for All Girls

    I'm not sure I understand why you would have to make it mandatory. If a safe, effective, easily used, affordable method of birth control were developed -- who would reject it? I think you are going down the wrong path here. What we should be asking is why there are ANY unwanted pregnancies...

    Why can't people just leave the Jews alone?

    Should all of the settlements of Arab Muslim Palestinians be bulldozed as well and all the Arab Muslim Palestinian residents returned to Palestine "proper"? If Arab Muslim Palestinians live on Israeli land are they "stealing land that does not belong to them"? I ask because I want you to be...

    Prejudice against Qur'an.

    Rather it is what the adherents DO with the revelation, not the revelation itself. The question relevant to you and this thread is what is to be done with the kuffar?

    Prejudice against Qur'an.

    Ha! I guess that depends on the quality of one's mental gymnastics. ;)

    Prejudice against Qur'an.

    Yes, I think this must be the way forward for Islam. To see the battle imagery in the Qur'an as being ideological rather than literal and physical. (And yes, I realize a great many Muslims already see it this way). I think it will be a difficult road. There are some passages which are...
