    16 hospitalized in New Orleans playground shooting

    Your appeal to emotion is actually detrimental to your argument. "If the weapons were bought legally, does this make it all right with you?" is the same as asking if I've stopped beating my wife. The question is idiotic, and you need to stop asking it. You're pushing a false mindset onto...

    16 hospitalized in New Orleans playground shooting

    Sin nature is actually the underlying point I'm making. Weapons obtained illegally have nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment. Those that obtain weapons illegally, have no regard for the 2nd Amendment or rule of law. Thus, it's erroneous to look at such a situation and say, "if they weren't able...

    16 hospitalized in New Orleans playground shooting

    Crabby - I'm going to ask this again to point out the stupidity of your assumptions: have you stopped beating your wife? Of course you've never beaten your wife. Just as "the right" does NOT find such incidents as okay or acceptable. Let me ask this, Crabby: were the weapons used legally...

    Kindergarten Teacher Will Let Boys Play With Legos ‘When Hxll Freezes Over’ to Promote Gender Equali

    Yeesh. She has no clue that she's actually teaching the boys to dumb themselves down, rather than encourage them to be creative. Instead of recognizing differences and helping kids develop through their individual cognitive learning abilities, she's enforcing cookie cutter drones for a future...

    So what SHOULD the CHRISTIAN response be to taking in 10,000 Syrian Refugees?

    No, they don't all pray five times a day. They're supposed to. But catholics and baptists are supposed to abstain from fornication, adultery, and drunkenness, too. No, not all of their women are completely covered; only the devout. And while yes, there are still fanatical muslim men who would...

    Thanks giving challenge...

    Nice thought. I already do that; as I'm sure many of us on this board already do. Maybe not in one 30-minute to 1-hour session; but different times throughout the day.

    So what SHOULD the CHRISTIAN response be to taking in 10,000 Syrian Refugees?

    HAMel, there's only one problem with your analogy: You must assume that ALL muslims are rattlesnakes. And that's where it fails. Not all muslims agree on islamic doctrine, just as not all Baptists agree on doctrine; not all catholics agree on doctrine; not all mormons agree on doctrine; etc...

    State laws

    We've homeschooled in six different states. ALWAYS looked up and complied with the state homeschooling laws. I would recommend you get in touch with HSLDA and see what legal options you have.

    Senate Bill 248: Require Children's Services Review for Homeschooling

    I want to thank Ann for the excellent response about visiting ALL homes. Elena, Ann's response also applies to your follow-on comment. Child Welfare currently isn't set up to check "educational well-being." I had my kids periodically tested, even when we lived in states that didn't require it...

    Is There a Gun Violence Epidemic? The Numbers Say No

    You know exactly what I was indicating. Your problem is that you continue to make no distinction between the tool and the user. Gun deaths are a symptom, not the disease.

    What to do

    Worse - you're talking about killing ideas, not just people. We kill every current radical muslim today -- and another, with his own understanding of what islam means, will rise up tomorrow. So what would I do? Educate/indoctrinate at an early age. Require every child to go to school, and teach...

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Free Grace Theology: Mocking God?

    While I agree with most of your post, I've sectioned only this part because I find some fault with the superficiality of this section. For example, you indicate there is fault with the woman's response about Christ saving us from Hell -- i.e., "partly true." I submit that your fault is your...

    Politico Admits Fabricating A Hit Piece On Ben Carson

    Zaac - you DO have an "offer" of a scholarship, full or otherwise. You signing it does not change its status as an "offer." Carson being a civilian and Westmoreland being career military also provides different filters about how a message was given and how it was received. In military...

    Ben Carson Fabricated Violent Juvenile Past, CNN Investigation Suggests

    Zaac - you don't want us to vote for Carson. I get that. I understand that. If we shouldn't vote for him, if we shouldn't vote for Trump, if we shouldn't vote for Hillary or Bernie - who should we vote for?

    Politico Admits Fabricating A Hit Piece On Ben Carson

    Zaac - you've made it plain that you aren't voting for the man. Why do you feel it necessary to defend Politico and bash it through others' heads that you believe Carson lied?
