All things are possible you just have to believe it.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Thanks for the welcome. I'm just curious though as to how you'd define "heretical". Is it a deviation from the usual teachings? But wouldn't the Anglican church qualify since it's a deviation from RCC? (Which is itself of course deviant from the Orthodox church)

I love Gandhi's quote on this, "I like your Christ, but I don't like you Christians."

Classic.

I suspect you'll experience that quite a few times, here. Seeing things from the other side of the room is... enlightening. Welcome aboard.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
