    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    When we look at the bible, both old and new testaments, we realize that they emerged from an extremely patriarchal society. This society devalued women to the extent that they were not even considered to be persons before the law. Not only were they devalued but they were in many ways considered...

    Very Liberal Christianity

    I am much the same. Since almost all doctrines started as heresies, I suspect that in about 500 years I will be regarded as saintly even by they most extreme conservatives.

    Get your numbers right!

    A thousand is 1,000 and a million is formed by adding three zeros hence 1,000,000. The prefix "bi-" means two so a billion would be forms by adding two groups of three zeros hence 1,000,000,000 and so on to a trillion and more. Quite simple really.

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    I regard the extreme patriarchy that is displayed in the Bible as the product of cultural attitudes and not anything that is God-ordained. My belief is that any organization, religious or secular and including marriage, that fails to include women in leadership roles right up to the very top is...

    Are historical "heroes" really great men?

    Most historical figures have feet of clay. Hitler was a decorated war hero, did not drink or smoke or use foul language and loved children. Churchill smoked, drank 2-3 quarts of whiskey daily and swore like a trooper. Well he was a trooper as a younger man.

    Hot Air Balloon ride?

    The ride itself was about an hour near Dundas Ontario Canada. It was over the Niagara escarpment in the fall when the leaves were turning so the landscape and colours were dramatic. At one point he took us up to 4000 feet and we could see Lake Ontario in the distance. It was followed by a...

    [Split] Very Liberal Christianity Abortion/Pro-Life posts

    It is obvious that both the female egg and the male sperm have a form of life but no one would call either a person. When they unite to form a zygote it certainly is alive. There is a potential person there and a great many people would claim that it actually is a person. Let us grant for a...

    Artificial contraception, history and scripture

    When it comes to a consideration of the "sin of Onan" it is necessary to have some contextual background. We must realize, that at that point in history, it was believed that the father, and the father only, contributed what we would today call the genetic make up of the child. What they called...

    [Split] Very Liberal Christianity Abortion/Pro-Life posts

    I am a liberal Christian and I have never met one of my kind that was not pro-life. However, many Christians, not just the liberal ones, recognize that there are circumstances that make this very painful decision necessary. I believe that abortion should be legal, it should be safe, it should be...

    Capitalism and Christ

    There is indeed. It astonishes me that more Christians don't notice that. Some in fact seem convinced that Jesus was a capitalist.

    Health Care bill passed by House

    If the bill removes some 20 million people from health insurance than calling it a "health care bill" seems quite inappropriate. IMHO the best approach would be to remove the health insurance companies from the picture entirely and create a single payer universal system. The present system...

    What is the biggest issue facing churchs today

    I regard the biggest problem facing churches today is that so many are no longer relevant to the modern world. Churches can no longer reject the realities of science and the modern world in an attempt to return to the now irrelevant certainties of past ages.

    About the Exodus

    The logistics problems entailed by an Exodus, as biblically described, are so formidable as to render it impossible. The bible suggests that 3 to 3.5 million people were involved. This would require 1500 tons of food daily and that would require two, mile long, freight trains daily. Who grew...
