"...I didn't know that he [Billy Graham] supported abortion under certain circumstances..." quoting brother ProZak. I have learned from watching several news sources that the topic of abortion, the reality for women within the situation of abortion, is a lot larger and a lot more complica...

BTW - question generated by a (nother) reading of one of my favorite books... Theology and Sanity.

Some people find them really interesting as they do all the fantastic stars/galaxies in the universe. I'd but 'because He felt like it'. I'd also buy 'because He knew humans would find them interesting'.

Some - including me - think they are interesting, even if not a die-hard fan or something. But why did God create/allow to evolve dinosaurs, especially so distant in time from humans? For humans' pleasure in studying them, something else?

I can't imagine peregrinator was being anything other than sarcastic.

aussie - your post about Trump/Putin and Trump's followers was hilarious, if not sad. It's hard to even argue/discuss with such cluelessness.

would likely be interesting!

USAID should NEVER, under any circumstances, be resuscitated...

I think you should have said... 'to resettle (mostly) non-legal immigrants'. I can't imagine anyone has a problem with legal immigrants and I certainly don't think there is a problem (actually, I welcome it) if the Catholic Church helps settle legal immigrants. Society has laws for a reason. Most la...

A lot of that relates to people facing death or imprisonment for false or made-up crimes and a lack of any sort of due process. This isn't about false not made up crimes nor is it about imprisonment, and certainly not death. There are (and certainly) should be consequences for breaking the law.

I think he identified it as Young People's Group. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Keep teaching, keep improving people's awareness.

what 'nasty right-wing slant'?

I saw the movie tonight. I thought the story was good and the movie well done. I've only read a few quotes from him so not sure how accurately the movie presented his life. Hopefully well. He was protestant so I didn't expect the movie to make him Catholic. I obviously didn't live during world war 2...

I don't see how Newsom can be a help to the democrats (and for that reason, I think it would be great if they picked him). His state is an absolute disaster. Everything about the state. They will continue to hemorrhage people while their terrible policies remain in place. And as more and more wealth...

I am really looking forward to watching this movie. I hope it will be good.

Curious... what did they find?

Most dryers in people's homes are powered by a 240VAC power source (lots of power is used to run the heating element, followed by some lower amount of power to run the motor that spins the dryer. a very small amount of power is used to run the dryer's control panel). If the dryer is turning on and s...

One of my other (somewhat) recent favs is Ready Player One . There were maybe 2 pages early on with a slight at God/religion in general and then another 2-3 pages later on (about sex) that didn't improve the book in anyway and could have just been left out. They seem out of place and not sure why th...
