    9 Reasons Why Common Core is Bad for Education

    I keep thinking I'll get a few minutes in between classes to respond further, but I'll probably have to wait until tonight to respond. But for starters, points 3 and 9 have nothing to do with anything, and are red herrings. Points 4,5, and 7 are actually completely false, and in fact are the...

    9 Reasons Why Common Core is Bad for Education

    Rev, I'm in class right now, and so can't watch the video or adequately discuss those concerns. But later I'll explain how those concerns are misguided, and misunderstandings of common core. Specifically, I'll be speaking to common core math, and not English. As I'm not an English major, but...

    Was it "terrorism"or merely a criminal act?

    I don't think it makes me an expert, but I have more experience than your average (maybe even all of the) Baptist board posters. I have read the Koran (or whichever spelling you prefer, mine said Qur'an) several times, and had near-weekly discussions with Muslim interpreters concerning Islam...

    Florida school board makes history, opts out of Common Core

    Arkansas opted out of common core. They adopted the Arkansas state standard. If you look at the two standards side by side, they are identical. Yet everyone is cheering at the "victory". Personally, I think that everyone who opts out of common core is making a huge mistake. We need to catch up...

    Was it "terrorism"or merely a criminal act?

    Unfortunately, I'm on my tablet and so can't expound and fully explain what a stupid post this was. But I can point out that this entire post was un-American and, more importantly, un-Christian. As someone who has spent time among Muslims, both killing them and eating with them, I can honestly...

    Was it "terrorism"or merely a criminal act?

    We need to realize that there are two extremes here. One side is afraid to call anything terrorism, and the other calls everything terrorism. There are crimes that are terrorism going on, but then there are crimes that are not terrorism going on. Terrorism has to have a goal. It's inciting fear...

    Just 5.7 Percent Of Clinton Foundation Budget Actually Went To Charitable Grants

    I wasn't going to weigh in on this conversation, and this will be slightly off topic, it I want to thank you for using "Attorneys General" properly. It's one of my pet peeves when someone uses plurals improperly; such as Mothers in Law, Sergeants Major, etc. People usually try to make the second...

    Has dispensationalism contributed to mistaken worldviews, or is it the truth ?

    I consider myself a dispensationalist. However, with that being said, if I were to answer your questions, I would be parroting almost word for word what TC has already said. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

    GOP Congress Hypocrisy :Zika Bill Fail

    That's what I'm reading, too. The original bill was brought up, and the Dems down voted it, because it didn't contain an earmark for PP. Now that there is, and the GOP wants to take it out, suddenly the GOP are the hypocrites, when it was the Dems who shot it down in the first place. It's unreal...

    Divorce of Evangelicals

    I have tried to think of many ways to say this without sounding arrogant or snarky. But this is the best I could come up with. I am not so concerned with the rate of divorce among other church goers versus non church goers, as I am that the divorce rate in my house stays at zero percent. And if...

    Cats love us ... Dogs love us

    Actually, studies have shown no increase in oxytocin in cats during interactions with humans. On the other hand, during interactions with humans and even for a while after, the oxytocin levels in dogs spikes. What does this mean? That your cat does not love you at all, while your dog does.

    Wells Fargo Just Made The Case For Elizabeth Warren’s Bank Agency

    Per BLM, we're not supposed to bring up someone's past with the police and use it as evidence to determine probable cause. So, which is it? Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

    Why do you give this to your children?

    My kids get a soft drink as a rare treat. It's usually water or milk. But, I don't give milk to my plants ... Maybe I shouldn't give milk to my children either ... Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

    Colin Powell DID Advise Clinton to Use Private Server

    First off, one person doing something wrong doesn't relieve or lessen another's. Second, no where does it state that he used the server for classified information, and no where does he say that Clinton could. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

    A different kind of wedding

    Besides my actual ordination through the church I went on to pastor as a young man, I went on the internet to see how many free ordinations I could get. There are a lot. Without paying anything, you can be pretty much all the "parody" religions (I'm a dudist monk, for instance), and if you are...

    Bible errors

    I have read the entire "Greater Keys of Solomon" and "Lesser Keys of Solomon", and I'm betting you haven't. Should I not listen to you if you say witchcraft is wrong simply because you haven't read the same books I have? Disclaimer: I do not follow witchcraft at all. But in my curiosity as a...

    Singing Acapulco

    I love a capella music. Hearing vocal harmonies is amazing. I am of a VERY strong opinion, though, that a soloist should not sing a capella. Firstly, I simply don't think it sounds good. Secondly, music is comprised of three parts; melody, harmony, and rhythm. If a soloist sings a capella, you...

    Diversity Experiment at SBC Pastors Conference

    In a similar experience, when I was a teenager, my dad pastored a small church. Our max attendance was around 70 on a Sunday Morning. However, our town literally had a population of 10. Not a typo. Ten. So, he had a church that was 700% of the population of the town. Small churches ought not be...

    Confederate battle flag angers many at California high school!?

    Personally, I am not offended by the flying of the Confederate standard. However, I do not like it. To me, it does not symbolize racism, but rebellion and disunification (according to spell check, that's not a real word). I understand the origins, and how it stood for state's rights and...
