    Here's Another Chance: Stump a Christian Atheologian

    Okay, so I'm not really a theologian and I'm not really a christian. I supposed that makes me a chrisitan 'A-theologian'. And while it may be true that christians are instructed to be humble, rather than proud. And while it may appear I'm engaged in a certain arrogant affectation in my hubris at...

    The Pretenders:

    I've notice a lot of poetry lately hitting the boards. And I'd just like to say, this powerful rhetoric, this moving cryptic language has shown me the light, attaching itself somewhere to my subconscious, maybe, and 'speaking' to me in figurative, ethearal tones. And it has given me 'FAITH'...

    How would you personally go about destroying a religion?

    If you wanted to supplant a longstanding religion with another, let's say for purposes of gaining political power or influence over others or perhaps for increased personal wealth or other material reasons, how would you do it? And I realize the answers could be acutely specified depending on...

    My Girlfriend Thinks I'm Gay . . .

    Because I absolutely love Les Miserables. My fascination started with Victor Hugo and carried on with the musical. What follows may be more appropirate for the religious debates threads, but since it is music-based, I figured I'd throw it out here for consideration. Besides, I've been...

    Is Smoking Immoral?

    I am a closet smoker. I don't smoke during the day, usually, and I don't even have regular cravings to smoke. However, under certain circumstances I enjoy a smoke, especially at happy hour or other times when I am drinking. I live in a location where it's still legal to smoke in bars and even...

    Does anybody else use Microsoft Outlook and know its quirks?

    At my office we utilize Microsoft Outlook's network calendar. I work as a writer for a lawfirm and Outlook's calendar allows the managing partner of the firm and myself to essentially be on the same page, so to speak. However, recently Outlook has been acting wierd. It won't sync...

    Favorite drunk music

    I really wanted the Reservior Dogs intro for this, but I couldn't find one that has the whole song. When I come in drunk from the bar (which my girlfriend indicates happens far too regularly) this is one of those songs I love to put on and play so loudly my neighbors call the cops . . . turns...

    Okay, so sue me . . . I love Paul Simon!

    Before you harshly judge me . . . think about this: This song was recorded in 1980, under the oppressive forces of an industry that demanded Disco, for God's sake. Not that I'm casting undue stones at Disco. But this was a jazzy attempt at being stylish, with a bunch of guys who probably...

    I'm not really new; I'm just an idiot. Please Help.

    Why sometimes when I'm trying to insert an image in my posts, let's say a Youtube video or such, do I get that little box with the red X in it without the video image that I'm shooting for? It has got to be something I'm doing wrong, but there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to why...

    If you personally were given conclusive proof that God doesn't exist . . .

    I was struck by a thought while replying to another thread. I honestly believe that some people NEED God, even a fictitious one. Personal experience: My mother, bless her heart, needs God. It is that simple. Her God, her faith and her Church are a huge part of her life. Her religion is...

    Is the concept of God's "Chosen People" even logically possible?

    I was struck by a particular thought while reading another thread that claimed Israel is the home of God's chosen people, the Jews. For this to be an accurate reflection of God's "personality", let's say, wouldn't that indicate God has preferences based on some quality other than good and evil...

    Tribute to Loren Eiseley (or Shamelessly Stolen from Mr. Eiseley)

    Angiosperm Explosion If distant eyes out of deepened blacks, over vast spans of space where light awkwardly ages from Immense Journeys, probed the nights and if these alien eyes peered upon our planet for epochs and epochs, let's say, they'd notice the glow dressing our speck long ago...

    Will the United States Eat Itself to Death?

    I intend the title of this thread as figurative, not literal. I am really interested in reading thoughts on whether or not forum members believe that the quality of life, generally speaking, in the United States, or elsewhere, is at any risk of decline, or perhaps is already in decline, due to...

    Would/Could an infallible being create a fallible system?

    Someone made the comment that if I believe in a fallible system, then I must concede its creator is also fallible. More specifically speaking, if God created a world in which earthquakes result from an unstable system, then that means the creator of that system, GOD, is fallible. Perhaps that...
