I've heard plenty of arguments in support of the Electoral College including the claims that NY and CA would determine every election and that small red flyover states are protected and given a voice equal to the large blue coastal states. I'm going to respond to those claims in the course of...
Woman Triggered After Seeing the Letters 'KKK' at Baseball Game Counting Strikeouts
Seriously... especially for an adult enrolled in an institution of higher learning, this is entirely unacceptable. If you can look at a strike out counter and think literally any thought besides "this is the...
The Hateful Eight is a film title that doesn't just reference the number of characters that are in that particular situation... it's also references the fact that it's Quentin Tarantino's eighth film.
Chronologically, here's the eight:

Frankly, I'm not sure why they didn't use his brother Ralph.
After all, take this:

A mother with custody of her two daughters moves to another house.
As long as she doesn't interfere with the father's visitation, is it necessary to provide the father with the new address? Is is not enough to have the father pick up the kids at a neutral location? Is it a violation to...
Allen Carr was a smoker. Not just a casual smoker, or a social smoker... he was a 5 pack per day smoker, for years. He tried to quit, often and with a variety of different methods that relied on willpower. But in 1983, he figured out how to quit permanently, without painful withdrawal pangs...
I don't know if this is a debate, per se... but I didn't know where else to put it.
I want to hear who your favorite false prophet is. Maybe even your least favorite as well... and I want to hear reasons.

I had this discussion in another forum... I want to see how it plays out here. Seeing how it's that time of year again, seems to be an appropriate topic of discussion.

It is interesting to think that some people believe that Jesus was a Rabbi who astounded the Pharisees, given his tendency to be wrong about scripture.
The same goes for Paul who is claimed to be a Pharisee who learned with Gamaliel.
I have 11 examples of where Jesus & pals got it wrong...
It is my assertion that nowhere in the text of the Tanach (or old testament to Christians) does it suggest, hint, predict, or explicitly tell of a second coming of the messiah. If the messianic prophecies won't be fulfilled in a particular guy's life time... the guy isn't the Messiah...

I know the Sean Bell verdict is 2 months old now, but just floating around YouTube, I came across videos related to the incident and people's YouTube reactions and I realize... people are dreadfully ignorant of the whole thing.

A summary about a book which suggests a different origin of Christianity. Definitely worth discussing:
