Thanks for that. I did see those. I should have counted the boxes up and down and left to right. I would have arrived at -10 and 10. I just didn't think before I spoke in that sentence. :D

I see your point, but I could agree with you and michael here. To be fair, I've seen people of all beliefs and non-beliefs act in such a way. I think I know what you mean. They don't necessarily lack ...

They serve some entertainment purpose. My problem with myths is that they brainwash people into strapping bombs to their chest so they can go defile their 72 virgins in the afterlife. They tell people...

Well put. I agree, there is this endless tug-of-war. It's just like politics, or even showing your friends new music or movies you've discovered. It's human nature to want to help, teach and show peop...

I am surprised as well. Maybe it has been quiet on the forums, but I don't think most of them are going to accept it any time soon. I think most christians take the Mike Huckabee approach, and say "Wh...

There are 7 people that live over 900 in the bible and one that lives to be 895. Not bad, considering the life expectancy was 35. Seems legit.
