Is it okay if we lie and deceive to do so?

Personally - I don't think so.

So, Matt - no comment about the proof I provided regarding some other posters' comments about "2+2=10" ? Edited to add: BTW - here's what I found when I googled "when does 2+2=10?" http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1949-8594.1963.tb11409.x/abstract

Robert, where I draw the line is "deceit." I'm not sure this qualifies as such; but if he led the school leadership to believe he would be delivering a certain speech, but then delivered another without prior notification - what kind of message does that send about Christianity, that we'll...

Here's the part y'all are missing: he ripped up his previously-approved speech. Was that the only draft? Had he submitted other versions that included statements about God and/or Jesus, and was told to edit those out? Was he told to write a speech without using those references? Y'all want...

Try googling "base 4 system" instead of 2 + 2...

Matt - I am reminded of Paul's rebuke to Peter in Galatians 2. Now, before you get the wrong idea: I'm talking about Ann's rebuke to you. Even if you don't see it, you do come off as pompous, arrogant, and frankly, like a Pharisee. Especially when you imply things about other people, like you...

Hey-in Ternary (base 3), doesn't 2+2=11?

Meh, he's Jewish; comes with the territory. I don't listen to Hannity; to be honest, although I didn't mention it before, I was surprised to see Hannity that high on the list. I was also surprised that Hannity and O'Reilly weren't neck-and-neck. I was also surprised that Medved was higher...

Depends on how you define success. Bell (and now, Noory) have a target audience: all the weirdos, nutcases, conspiracy theorists, psychic-wannabes, and more. You know, the people who usually hang out after dark looking for UFOs and Bigfoot. So their time slot is exactly where it needs to be...

I agree, Woody. As the last paragraph indicates, they're advocating that she be placed in the appropriate line ranking if approved to compete for an adult lung; it's just that a pediatric lung is extremely hard to come by, and she's at/near the threshold for an adult lung. BTW: Been a while...

Yes, I'm probably guilty of histrionics. But seriously - the person in charge of the healthcare system can't sign a piece of paper that lawmakers have determined would not upset precedent or violate the consistency of allocation policy...

Though not a "trained" philosopher, I, too, have taken some philosophy courses and read various authors on the subject. Believe me, if something can be found in the dictionary, it has been "defined." You're not asking for a definition of "truth"; you're asking about what people believe.

What? Are you trying to say that if faith pleases God, then tongues pleases...us?

Now that's just being obtuse. Truth is the quality of being true; if Jesus says, "I am...the truth," then truth has been defined. By definition, what Amy wrote is therefore truth. Your niggling about "definition of truth" is non-productive.

Partially correct. For example, it was "truth" based on our understanding of reality that the world was flat. Once that was proven untrue, we had to change our perception of reality. However, there are certain truths that are immutable; for example, the sun rises in the east and sets in the...

See, this is the problem: Evangelist6589 attended BJU, and that's the extent of his personal experience with "fundamentalists." He's subsequently made the logical fallacy of saying that because he personally knows this small sub-group, then the entire group must be like that. Including some of...

Wouldn't make a difference to me if he was D or R. Me personally, I'd need to know what "George" is like, and what policies he has in place; and what makes "Henry" different, and what his viewpoints are on topics important to me. I don't think it would be wrong, especially if "Henry" is in...

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/06/03/lawmakers-urge-obama-to-reject-un-arms-treaty-as-it-opens-for-signature/ So we pretty much know the US will not ratify the treaty ... we're not sure if the treaty will be signed by enough countries for it to take effect ... and we think if certain...

While I agree with what you say, my context was in regards to the OP.and subsequent posts. For example, if someone denied Christ, that definitely must be defended. But if someone posts truth, but does so couched in terms of "I'm in the 1%"; and subsequently receives comments regarding the "1%"...
