    Are College Students Already Biased?

    I have never met a person who was free of bias. I know that I am not. Are you?

    "America" is now offensive to N and S America

    America is a geographical region comprising two continents and adjoining islands, some 35 nations in all. The United States of America comprises one part of that area. That is precisely why the founding fathers of the USA chose to name their nation in that way --- to distinguish themselves from...

    iBot Poll: What is your most useless talent?

    That is a very useful talent --- I'm envious.

    Solomon's statement at dedication

    Within Christianity the Celtic tradition has a concept called “thin spaces”, geographical locations where the veil between heaven and earth, the world we live in and the realm of the Divine, seems to be remarkably thin. I suspect that all of us have experienced such a place at least once in our...

    Are babies sinners?

    I respect Paul's opinion but I disagree. Paul had his own interpretation of the meaning of the life and death of Jesus. I am sure he was sincere. After. You cannot sin without knowing good and evil. While much of genesis is mythology ---- it may not be factual but that does not make it...

    Are babies sinners?

    From an early date Christianity adopted the Doctrine of Original Sin. In its strict interpretation unbaptized infants who die would go straight to hell. The Doctrine was subsequently modified by the concept of Limbo. I do not read the Genesis myth as a fall from an original state of perfection...

    iBot Poll: What is your most useless talent?

    I taught for almost 40 years and in all that time I am aware of only one student who was ambidextrous. He was an Egyptian exchange student. I noticed during his final exam. He wrote with both hands simultaneously forming each letter alternately. His handwriting was beautiful and you couldn't...

    Are babies sinners?

    You have just stated a contradiction. Both statements cannot be true at the same time so which one is your belief?

    iBot Poll: What is your most useless talent?

    In 1997 I won the "procrastinator of the year award" but I never got around to picking it up. However, it was really heartwarming that they never got around to sending it.

    Sexual Orientation: Nature or Nurture?

    I do not read the Genesis myth as a fall from an original state of perfection into sin and death. The first couple were completely innocent and naive creatures. They were certainly capable of making a mistake but, without knowing good from evil, they lacked even the ability to sin. That ability...

    Sexual Orientation: Nature or Nurture?

    I was not suggesting converting away innate sinfulness, I was referring to gay conversion therapy. Aside from that, I am not sure that the term "innate sinfulness" refers to a real human condition.

    Sexual Orientation: Nature or Nurture?

    “There is no published scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of 'reparative conversion therapy' as a treatment to change one's sexual orientation” the American Psychiatric Association has officially stated. "Clinical experience suggests that any person who seeks conversion therapy may be...

    The distinct persons of the Trinity

    So only the Son suffered. But the Father did not suffer because the Son suffered? This would imply that the Father did not suffer because either the Father was superior to the Son or didn't care about the Son or that the Trinity is an entirely human construct. Yes, I am a modalist because in...

    How Socialism Violates All Ten Commandments

    Please do not feel sorry for Canada --- or Norway or Denmark or Sweden or New Zealand or any of the other nations who have adopted socialist policies. The USA has already adopted some of those policies --- just look at the subsidies paid to oil and other industries. It would seem that the USA...

    The distinct persons of the Trinity

    For many years I have struggled to understand the doctrine of the trinity. To say it is a mystery that we are not expected to comprehend simply doesn't cut it for me. Some time ago I discovered that in the original formulation of the trinity, the word in Greek which we traditionally have...

    If you asked an atheist...

    Actually I strongly suspect that life developed multiple times only to be overwhelmed either by nature itself or to be eaten by the original form of life.

    How Socialism Violates All Ten Commandments

    This is a load of pure male bovine excrement. I am sorry to be so blunt but the I regard the truth highly. It is insulting to a legitimate political philosophy (which is exactly what was intended) but beyond that it betrays a profound lack of understanding of Christianity itself.
