Personally, I've been avoiding some topics as they illicit an anger in me when I see some people's responses. I know that this is my personal shortcoming, but I've chosen to temporarily refrain from some of the forums in order to keep my testimony. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

It could be. But starting a church is no small matter, and if one wishes to do so, it's not unlike candidating for a pastorship. They should seek a church of like faith and practice to be their parent, and the potential parent church should either already be familiar with them, or take the time...

I disagree here. If a person needs to start a church due to there not being a "good" one in the area, then they can find a parent church somewhere. A parent church doesn't necessarily need to be close by (it is convenient, but not necessary). Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

The problem is, if you start a church "out of nothing", you haven't started a biblical church. A church planter has to have a sending church in order to be biblical. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Skin color IS the same as hair color. Just because a person is black does not mean they have a different culture. It normally does, but not always. As one example, I had a soldier who was black. He used to introduce himself as "the whitest black man you'll ever meet" (note: his words, not mine)...

That's not even close to what I said. It's a twisted perversion of what I said. I prefer light skin with a little tan. I also prefer brunettes. I also (based on my dating history and my marriage) prefer women a couple years older than me. None of this implies prejudice of any kind. It only...

I'll readily admit that. It's not a secret. I also prefer a slight tan. Does this also make me "albinist"? Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

The problem with being accused of racism, is there is no defense. The more you protest, the more racist you sound. There literally is no way to prove you're not racist over the internet. But I guarantee, you spend a few days with me, you'll know without a doubt that there's not a racist bone in...

On the same thought, so does buying a gun. You have to have an Arkansas drivers license. So before you can buy a gun, you have to plan ahead and get your ID. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you can register to vote when you get your driver's license. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Salty, while I agree with the intent of your post, I would disagree with your last paragraph. I understand how you meant it, but the inference can be made that you are equating gay marriage to interracial marriage, something that people would use against your argument. As far as the first...

Just bought my new rifle in Arkansas. It's an "easy" state. By that I mean I got it the same day with no waiting period. But it took about 30 minutes to fill out the paperwork, plus another 30 for the background check. Took me about 5 minutes to vote in the primaries. Sent from my QTAQZ3...

All that's well and good, but this isn't random sampling, or any calculations other than a division of a part by the whole. This is not the type of data that can be manipulated in any way other than non-reporting. Also, (not trying to be snarky here) I wish you would have read the whole thing...

Ok, I was in a hurry earlier, as I was on lunch. You aren't comprehending what I'm trying to say for one reason or another, maybe because I was in that hurry. Because in your last post you talked past a lot of points I was trying to make, and even somewhat strengthened mine. So, I'm going to...

Based on your last response of 50/50 chance being the answer, I'd assumed you knew absolutely nothing about statistics and probability. But, since one of your degrees is in mathematics, you should understand that this "closed set" is a "closed set" that contains the entire population of the US...

Mark Twain, while a brilliant writer, also said, "I am not one of those who in expressing opinions confines himself to facts", as well as "I never could do anything with figures, never had any talent for mathematics, never accomplished anything in my efforts at that rugged study, and to-day the...

maybe you should take a statistics class? Personally, I've taken a few, as my major is Physics/Math. This measures the entire population, not a set. Because the "set" is comprised of those who did something, and those who didn't. So, the conclusion is obvious, and unless you disagree with the...

I'll have to stop you right there. Statistics do not, and cannot lie. Your book says "How to lie with statistics". That's how to take a fact and spin it. Actual statistics are facts. They can't be messed with. Only the conclusions that can be drawn can be messed with. In light of that, the rest...

Why are we even talking about Oprah Winfrey's perceived racist episode when it happened in Switzerland? I'm not a geography major, but last I heard, Switzerland isn't a part of the US.

Recently, in another thread, another poster and I went back and forth on the perceptions of the BLM movement. I decided to start a thread in which we can discuss statistics (cold, hard facts instead of perceptions) on crime, police killings, etc. It is my intention that everything in this thread...

I'm not going to argue whether his career was already in jeopardy or not, as it doesn't matter. He's made millions of dollars already. He might be "sacrificing" a few more million, but that's nothing when you've already got millions. In order to make that claim, it has to be established there...
