The possibilities: 1. This incident is entirely made up. 2. He was 'gone' for 45 minutes, but he had brain activity and made up his experience (the nurse or anyone else may think it is real). 3. Regardless of vital signs, he was still oxygenating and he dreamed or imagined his experience. 4. It...

And how evil is it to boil water, which kills bacteria?

You mean it's wrong to use Rounc-up by the fence?

This unfortunately is true. It is just as plain that, for death penalty opponents, it is an argument of their own creation. And it comes down to non-issue of life in prion being a longer form of the death penalty, as either way the convicted is bound without freedom while awaiting death. The...

Alright-- if see a beautiful woman walking down the street, and nothing would please me more than for her to come to me, throw her arms around me, and give me a long passionate kiss, should I do that to her, since it's what I would have her do to me? With this cold I've got, just about...

Of course. Didn't you ever see a show from the 60's called It's About Time? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpFZWS30OOo In case anyone's never heard of this show before, I resist the urge to give a clear hint by naming its creator/producer and his contemporary 'hit' show.

Yes or No: Is Christ outside the Old Testament? Yes or No: Does the New Testament teach anything whatsoever about what, if anything, should be the civil penalty for murder?

"There is too much at stake to accept an imperfect system." Oh, did they use the stake there?

I will not disagree. But when I was 5 or 6, I learned to say that from this older boy a couple of houses down from ours, and I didn't realize it was referring to God until it was pointed out to me by grandmother after I said it to express surprise at how fast something was beginning to grow in...

No, "Bigfoot" ain't real. How could, among all this searching and hoaxing and begging to be believed over so many years, have failed to turn up one such creature? I've seen a few of those Searching for Bigfoot shows (usually just parts of them, as I can't stand such nonsense for very long), and...

Poor little rapist/murderer may have had the inhuman torment of feeling a lump in his throat upon death 20 years after the crime. How uncivilized can we dare to be!

It sure would be interesting to hear your war.

The Emancipation Proclamation did not touch slavery in those states that allowed it that were not officially at war with the union-- which were West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky. and Missouri [and Delaware?]. It was hard for Lincoln to fire both barrels of his shotgun [preserve the union / end...

Nice birthday present for the original states-righter, Thomas Jefferson, who said we 'need a revolution' every 20 years or so.

Slavery or any other single issue notwithstanding, Amendment X to the constitution gave states the right to engage in actions not forbidden to them by the constitution or by a constitutional action of the federal government, and the latter would mean either repealing or nullifying the Tenth...

If you want to bet me Denver will win it, I'll take ABD, Anybody But Denver. How much?

To combine a term like that while you are the accuser of hypocrisy takes the manna out of somebody's mouth. Maybe Jesus didn't seem to exhibit much love for the Pharisees and scribes and moneychangers, or the adulterous woman (supposing that questionable passage of scripture is valid) when he...

Do you mean say that to someone we know who will accept the message in a positive way, to someone we are sure will be unaccepting of it, to someone we think will be hostile toward it, or to someone we have no idea of how it will be taken? Or maybe one of each category?

Please note Billy Graham’s message to America at age 95 I thought America was way over 200. Or was he there when it was less than 100?

"Elope?" That's a word we don't hear much any more. All too obvious, most young couples don't bother to go through any formalities if they want to 'get together.' I don't know how true the old image was of the couple waking up a preacher or JP in the middle of the night, and with his wife in...
