Maybe you should try actually reading what I have said a couple times now. What I meant by them being non-denominational is that in practicing their job, they don't promote one religion over another. Just like any other military member, they're free to have whatever religious belief that they like, but their actual job
Nice job of taking part of what I said, and proving it wrong. Here's what I actually said: Well, military religious advisors, Chaplains, are non-denominational. They'll freely "advise" and help you with in seeking guidance in whatever religion, or lack of religion, that you like. What
I got that from dictionary.com I know...you probably won't accept it, since it isn't labeled "Definition defined by CBS"..... hahaha. Before you point out what I wouldn't accept, actually read what I wrote. I had already included your definition in the definition that I also got from www.dictionary.c
.....let the lawmakers that are taking away the rights of Christians, let them have their sessions in congress during those times This guy is an idiot.
, we must also remove religious advisers from the military? Well, military religious advisors, Chaplains, are non-denominational. They'll freely "advise" and help you with in seeking guidance in whatever religion, or lack of religion, that you like. I'm not going to jump any farther into this
I don't really want to make this into an argument (but aren't discussions like this nothing more than arguments), but you seemed to be trying "shoot down" my point. If you would read my few simple lines I wrote, I wasn't saying free-will could definitely exists or not exist. I was mostly just making a point that the concept of free-will doesn't "play nice" with an omniscient being. The only time I started saying that free-will was possible,
I'm just kidding. I couldn't help but think of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure when I read this question. The part when Bill (or Ted, I don't know which) says that, "...we're all just dust in the wind" He was quoting the Kansas song: I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind. Same old song, just a
I think we are just a form of energy. When we die, the energy will redisperse into the earth. Parts of us that were will go here and there and around. I think, the people that we find to love as humans share some similar energy from somewhere else from another time. That's why we
You've got it all wrong!!! DUST IN THE WIND DANG IT!
All we are is dust in the wind man... just dust in the wind.
Wow, feel the love Bakerstreet
, and it is inevitable that eventually we will know all that there is to know I agree with most of what you've said John, but I'd have to disagree with this statement. The only way it could be assumed that we'll know "everything" at some point, is if the amount of things that CAN be learned is
Wow, this topic sure has gotten heated! You guys should hug and make up.
True that... ...especially so if you do believe that any being does exist that is omniscient, and does know all the thinks that go into our supposed "decisions." As soon as you believe in this being, the concept of free will just flies right out the window. I believe that if there is no being that exists (and WE still haven't figured out all the answers) that knows all of the answers to all these questions, then it's alright to belie
All of my hand-made items are crafted with love.. I do agree with a certain part of both of your posts. When it comes to certain items, like the things that you might be sewing, the above quote is something to consider. When you're buying something like that, little flaws might even be considered to a
Every time I hear someone bring up electronic ballot machines, and computer systems to count and keep track of the votes, they get shot down. People are afraid that if computers do it, it'll be "hacked" and the "bad guys" will cheat. In my opinion, this is crap is so many different ways: 1. People count votes now. So, it guaranteed wrong. Especia
I'm just wondering why most people seem to appreciate the fact that something is "hand-made." All that means to me is that it's probably riddled with defects.
So... no other world travelers?
You should go to the UK and Germany just for the beer. I surely love me some German wheat beers, and nothing knocks you on your butt like some good Welsh bitter.
I wear boxerbriefs. I play a lot of sports, and it's handy to keep those guys in check My wife wears g-strings about 2/3's of the time. I surely think there's nothing sexier.
I haven't been to many northern states.
I think in the case of free will, the burden of proof lies with whoever argues against it. I can point to the fact that I could have either eaten an apple or a banana, and chose the apple. However, all of the arguments against free will that I can think of begin with the phrase "but wha
In another recent article, some people were listing where the world they have traveled to. They seemed to be a little competitive about it, but I thought it was a pretty interesting thing anyway. So, where in the world have you traveled to? I've been to: US (where I live now) Mexico England Wales Scotland Japan Korea
There's no reason to apologize for saying what you believe so long as you are willing to change if you're proven wrong Nice article, and I agree with most everything you wrote. I'm only picking this one part to quote because it perfectly points out what annoys me most about most people. If yo
NPR has a pretty consistently left lean I would have to disagree on this one. Even though you could consider most people who end up talking on NPR as "damn dirty hippies", I listen to NPR instead of watching a lot of TV news shows because I find NPR just "presents things things that happen, and lets yo
