Lula, I am not (mostly) talking about you personally, I just get all wrapped up with all the various theological things so I call it “you” pretending I am conversing. You have a need to know because it is fundamental to your faith but I do not. I understand and accept empirical evidence on its face value, not because someone tells me or because of some book that forces me. I know we are like ‘babes in arms’ in the development of technology and the furt

I am not overly concerned there because the USA is the best defended nation in the world, we are by far the only super power, and they are Imperialists so they will force the death and destruction to take place elsewhere where they can clean up out their messes. After all, they have already stolen virtually everything they can from their own people. If radical Islam were doing to attack us, if they were capable or had the wherewithal t

Lula – On some post somewhere in here, there was a discussion on the origin of the universe. Many of the religious justifications were from a documentary called “The Privileged Planet” by - Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay W. Richards … so I looked into it and it was interesting… I am planning to start an article to review the film in 12 11 segments (YouTube). Thought you might be interested in some different ping p

Simply put, if you do not know (or believe) the USG was deeply involved in these Countries troubles (and about a hundred more), then you cannot have an accurate view of what has been going on in the Middle East since John F. Kennedy. You have to go back that far and do a lot of time consuming research through the last 50 years. The evidence is mostly there fo

The real cost of war when one's involvement isn’t through a TV set is horrible and the American people should be able to see what the USG is doing in their name … all that freedom and democracy stuff. How long do you think a war would last then, I wonder?
