This one seems to be a bit of a hot potato at the moment, so I figured I'd throw in some thoughts. As far as which bathroom the transgendered should use, there's clearly one school of thought that says they should use whichever bathroom they feel comfortable using, while another school of...

tango has not started a secret blog. Unlike one of the more spherical members.

Just wondering if there are other hikers out there. I like to go and get lost in the woods from time to time. I say "get lost" even though I usually have at least one map and at least one GPS, not mention a good working knowledge of the local trails. I like the kind of hikes where I can just...

Just wondered if there are any particularly good beers out there that people like. At the moment I'm largely alternating between stouts and IPAs. I recently discovered Yards and some of their beers, and particularly liked, funnily enough, their Love Stout and their IPA. I'm thinking of trying...

OK, so this is a semi-serious question with a twist. George lives in upstate New York. He goes on vacation to France, arriving in Paris on April 14 and staying there until his return to New York on April 23. On April 18, is George in the US or out of the US?

Something I found interesting at the beginning of Genesis. First there was Adam, and then Eve. Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel (4:1-2). Cain killed Abel (4:8) and was driven away for his crime. But he had a mark placed on him, lest anyone who found him should kill him (4:15) Since...

Some thoughts about interest rates, as set by the central bank. Interest rates, although very low at present, have always been positive. Logically they must be positive, because there has to be something in it for me if I'm going to lend my money. And putting money in the bank counts as...

I've read a few articles about a debate in which Donald Trump made a big issue about Hillary Clinton taking a little longer than the allocated break to visit the bathroom. Is he for real? Has he really got nothing more on Hillary than the fact she took a couple of minutes longer than the men...

It's inevitable that there are going to be discussions over whether one denomination or another is accurate in its theology. It's a good thing that we've got a place where we can say "hey, Denomination X teaches this and it doesn't align with Scripture very well". When it comes to addressing...

OK folks, it would be really good to get the nominated threads feature back into play. You should notice a green button at the top of threads that allows you to nominate it to be a featured thread. If you particularly enjoy a thread why not nominate it to be featured? The most widely nominated...

Could two or three people please nominate this thread as a featured thread? If you nominate it please post to say you have so we don't have endless nominations. I'm looking to test a particular feature so only need a couple. Thanks in advance!

What does the lool in the shop do? I bought two of them and both just ask me for an MP3 URL when I configure it. Can't I have a pretty icon and custom text against my name, that plays an annoying earworm tune when someone hovers over it or something?

It's more interesting to debate/discuss with someone who has put serious thought into what they believe. They are more likely to have a meaningful defense for their case, and more likely to prompt me to really think about why I believe what I do. When discussions turn into one-liners...

What do people do when they find verses of the Bible that don't seem to fit in with their preferred interpretation, or that clash with everyday experience? I always figure that Scripture must support Scripture, so if there's a conflict it means we've missed something and there must be another...

I'm trying to understand just what people believe regarding Mary (the one who gave birth to Jesus). I gather some people believe she remained a virgin for her entire life, and that references to "brothers of Jesus" referred to what we might now refer to a "brother in Christ" in that they were...

So Thelma and Louise spend an entire movie challenging sexist stereotypes only to die at the end because of their bad driving...

I'm covered with chameleons and nobody believes me :(

New boyfriend is allergic to kitten so can't keep him. He's ginger and named Tom. He's friendly and comes when called. He's really sensitive, 28, works in marketing.

This one is something of a followup to the "Who needs context anyway?" thread, based on the notion that we can declare the things we want and they will come to pass. On the face of it, the promise is there in black and white in Scripture: Job 22:28 NKJV You will also declare a thing, And it...
