    farting

    If you were limited to one fart a day you would be at risk of shooting around the room like a balloon and doing yourself an injury. It is safer this way. Besides, horses fart, men flatulate and women "fluff".

    Ten Commandments.

    There are contradictions found in the three versions of the Ten Commandments contained in the Bible (Exodus 34:1-28, Exodus 20:1-17, Deuteronomy 5:1-21). How can all three versions be true if they are not the same? Exodus 34, the oldest version at about 950 BC, is from the pen of the “J” or...

    Should the pope step down

    Francis is the first Pope in too many decades who has shown the kind of compassion and intelligence that are needed in his office. Unfortunately he has several things in operation against him: --- his office is infallible which makes it very difficult to recognize and deal with the mistakes of...

    Flat Earth?

    Over the last while I have been pondering a phenomenon that has actually been going for a very long time. I am referring to Denialists and Conspiracy Theorists. While they might seem to be different behaviours, I think they have a commonality in the sort of mind that subscribes to them. What...

    Why wasn't Satan stopped completely?

    God didn't create Satan, man did. Satan (ha'shaitan) occurs by name in the Old Testament in the Book of Job, and here it's clear that the angel Satan is not the Devil! The Devil is supposedly banished from the presence of God, yet in Job, Satan is allowed to talk with and to come and go from...

    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    Talking animals are present in some forms of Greek literature --- we call them fables.

    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    We must be very careful about what is a lie and who is a liar. A lie obviously is an untruth but it must be known to be an untruth and is told anyway. With that in mind, I am unable to answer your question. Modern analytical bible scholars have intensively studied the text of those epistles...

    Fun Stuff about US States

    Hmmmmm, just a big black rectangle? Here is a trivia question on the geography of the USA. Pelee Island in Lake Erie is the southernmost point of Canada. Two questions: 1. How many American states lie entirely further north than Pelee Island? 2. How many American states lie in part further...

    Do children have it easier or worse today?

    Socrates (died 399BC) wrote --- Our youth now love luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders, and love to chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their household. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They...

    Cremation or burial?

    My wife and I both find present day burial practices inherently very problematic. Attempting to preserve the body by embalming followed by placing it in an expensive casket for burial in a concrete vault. Cremation avoids almost all of that and returns the body to the earth or water at far less...

    Meatloaf

    Another excellent topping "sauce" is condensed mushroom soup (Campbells is good but stay away from the completely tasteless salt free variety that tastes like polyfiller).

    iBot Poll: What Are Americans (United States)Known For?

    A widely travelled Swiss gentleman that I met a few years ago had a neat way of describing the difference between Americans and Canadians: “Wherever they travel in the world Americans will make themselves right at home. On the other hand, Canadians always behave as guests.” In my travels I have...

    Trump sides with Putin

    Trump is politically stupid, dangerously stupid. He might even be treasonously stupid.

    If a business owner doesn't have your values do you visit their establishment?

    From my point of view the status quo for my entire life has been the USA bullying and ripping off Canada. I want it changed but not in the same way as Trump --- he wants to exploit us even more.

    I am not convinced that God had anything to do with the forming of scripture. I reply in all honesty.

    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    One must rely heavily on "context" but by that I mean far more than just a few verses before or after the passage in question. I want you to sit down and imagine a society far different from ours. How different? Perhaps more different than most of us can even imagine. It is a society...
