    Who are America's Allies?

    emperialism? Is that imperialism intentionally misspelled as a protest? or are you referring to empiricism? the application of observation... I can't keep up with the lingo.

    Humanity first--Science second

    I think I would have to hear a working definition of both science and morality to engage in this conversation. Seyorni points out, it's kind of like comparing apples to syncro-mesh transmissions (whatever the hell those are.) Perhaps you're saying that the work of scientists is in direct...

    Not really new...

    Back for round two =) I posted a bit last year and really enjoyed the conversations, but I had to significantly cut back on my forum hopping for a while to focus on my thesis. I have to say this is quite an active community, I still get comment update alerts for threads I posted in last...

    Is the death penalty right?

    No. This may hint to my naiveté, and it is certainly out of fashion these days to say this, but i know every life to be of value. We should protect and preserve that life even with the most despicable of men. Of course, I am not decrying death resulting from self defense or unfortunate...

    Televangelist Calls for Chavez' Death

    Unfortunately humans in general suffer from the burden of having its mother's all-too-eager-to-over-generalize brain. the modern reductionist has his work cut-out for himself.

    Christian : AUism :: Romans 2:12-16

    I'm having some trouble interpreting these verses... I wonder if any of you have spent much time on them, and if anything here has snagged you as it has me. I've read a few commentaries on Romans, from Barth to Luther and a few in between and no one who's really thought too hard on it seems...

    taxes

    I similarly agree with your basis, meaning that I am not happy with the way taxes are collected and spent in this country. I feel that people like you and I pay too much in taxes for the limited return on services. On the other hand, I feel that corporatation and ultra-wealthy Americans pay...

    WMDs found in Iraq!

    We liberated the people of Iraq from Sadam quite handily; it seems we simply can not figure out how to liberate the people of Iraq from us. In my opinion... we should never have made the case for Iraq one reliant about terrorism or WMDs. It should have been about liberty and democracy for...

    Who are your favorite US Presidents?

    William Henry Harrison. In his 31 days in office, he hadn't the opportunity to do much damage. :) I put my vote in for Jefferson, despite his personal flaws and ignorant Native American policies. His emphasis on liberty, social justice and economic opportunity should be more a model of...

    new

    Hello! I'm so new myself, I'm not sure if i qualify as a welcomer :) I think the fact that you are questioning and searching is great... never quit asking those big questions; even if you do settle in to on particular world view or another. See you around!

    What do you think of swearing in public?

    I would (partially) contend that those words did begin to hold a similar weight that the F or S word would have. Admittedly, they are more acceptable in a social setting, though after a certain frequency of usage they also became part of your family’s "curse word dialect" I admit that...

    What do you think of swearing in public?

    maybe? in practice, language can only approximate the narrowest of medians of human thought and emotion. the extremities are indeed relative to the individual, culture and language in question. i recall an instance where my grandmother, while cutting a potato, also managed to slice in to...

    What domestic issues concern you the most?

    Do you feel that funding is inadequate at this time? How do you feel about 'No Child Left Behind?' Is that the right direction to go, or are is it a misallocation of teachers and students energies to test results as opposed to solid learning skills? Amen. I am sincerely concerned with...

    What domestic issues concern you the most?

    It's not cold, it's perfectly valid... Where else but here will you find such high statistics on SUVs per capita! :) //I don't have that statistic btw// By comparison to many nations we DO live a privileged life. Though that doesn't minimize the dilemma many working (and non-working) Americans...

    Thanks for the welcome! I look forward to hearing your perspective on things... You already seem to have good taste in avatars :)

    Homosexuality in Jesus time..

    Just curious... which interests you? I'm somewhat interested in the subject... though I'm a little leery of some that may take the focus of the letters of Paul to the Romans and Corinthians off of grace and on to justifying their own intolerance. nice to meet you by the way :)
