    Conceal Carry in Church?

    Is there a difference between trusting in God and laying down your life for Him, in His name; and protecting others from harm? Didn't George Mueller say something like "pray for a house and trust in God to provide it, but do it with a hammer and nails in your hand"? If I'm truly trusting...

    Destroying a hard drive

    Agree with the last. Find a program that'll "wipe" the hard drive"; preferably with at least 3 passes. Then destroy it.

    Student Suspended For Refusal to Stomp on the Word “Jesus”

    Well, Matt, here's where I agree with you: now it looks like the school fired the guy because they were receiving pressure from the governor and residents. Wish there was some way to find out what the student said happened, what the professor said happened, and what witnesses say happened.

    Student Suspended For Refusal to Stomp on the Word “Jesus”

    Matt - you realize that this brings up more questions than it answers? Why did the professor (and the school) wait so long to present their side of why the student was suspended? Who else witnessed the student threatening the professor? If the professor was truly following the lesson...

    This is how they'll take your guns

    I hear what you're saying; but let's not forget that when Peter used his sword, Jesus reminded him that He could have called down an army of angels; but that there was a purpose that He had to fulfill, and thus, why He died without putting up a fight. Actually, He picked up a whip and used it...

    U.S. on alert for nuclear blast overhead

    ITL - Poncho's not really that far off. It's just that sane, rational people can't fathom a mindset that says those types of actions are justifiable and acceptable, and therefore find it hard to believe it's possible. We have the same trouble accepting Charles Manson, Jim Jones, etc., etc...

    This is how they'll take your guns

    If you'll indulge me -- I think you have a basic misunderstanding of that passage. The "Middle East mindset" hasn't changed that much since the time Jesus walked the earth. There's a saying: "If you wait a hundred years to exact revenge, you are still moving too fast." In other words, and at...

    This is how they'll take your guns

    Yep. All the way to the Supreme Court. And even considering renouncing my US citizenship, if that's what it takes. Correct; but keep watching. Proposals are out to increase prices and taxes on ammunition; you can't find 9mm or .223 ammunition unless you're lucky or know someone at the store...

    U.S. on alert for nuclear blast overhead

    "Horseshoes, hand grenades, and nukes"?

    This is how they'll take your guns

    But if his mother hadn't disobeyed, Moses would have been killed. And was counted among the justified. No one in authority told David to kill Saul. You're right; in my haste, I was thinking about Sanballat and Tobiah. And couldn't God deliver us if we stand against an unjust government...

    This is how they'll take your guns

    If we didn't have people rebelling against the authorities: Moses would be dead. Rahab would have allowed the spies to be taken. David would have submitted to Saul and most likely have been killed. Nehemiah wouldn't have built the wall. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would have bowed to the...

    This is how they'll take your guns

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/02/democrats-push-bill-in-congress-to-require-gun-insurance/ They can't get the guns themselves outlawed; so make it so cost-prohibitive that people won't even consider buying them in the first place. And we all know, the insurance companies are going...

    So-the speed of light may not be constant after all

    http://phys.org/news/2013-03-ephemeral-vacuum-particles-speed-of-light-fluctuations.html Okay, science and math types - if this is proven true, then I am assuming from what they're saying that a massive surge of energy--and I mean, *massive*--could have an effect on the actual speed of light...

    Death Panels You Say?

    Very soon after being elected the first time, Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize, mainly because of what the world members of that voting body perceived he was going to do. Since then, we still have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan; special forces have been sent into areas of Africa; a raid into...

    What is the Most Profound Change [you've seen] in Your Lifetime?

    Funny, because I was sitting at dinner with a relative a couple of nights ago who said the same thing...but finished with "and I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and argue with people I don't know and will never meet"....

    Victory: Assault Weapons Ban Not to Be Included in Senate Gun Control Package

    As of January, it was confirmed by several different sources that an "assault rifle" was found in the shooter's vehicle; so no "assault rifle" was actually used in that situation. So, by "autoloading firearms", you mean semi-automatic pistols? Handguns are the weapon most used by criminals; are...

    Honest Question: Why do we place a stigma on certain Sins?

    Actually, that was my way of saying that it sounds like it's *your* way or nothing.... Um...of your list, the only show I, or anyone I personally know, watches is "Walking Dead." And the fornication/adultery that has been depicted on that show has also shown the repercussions/consequences of...

    Honest Question: Why do we place a stigma on certain Sins?

    Two things: separating out each individual statement and trying to discredit them individually ignores the context. Where exactly are you going to church at? I hear it all the time from the people I associate with, the people I go to church with, etc. We don't watch Dancing with the Stars, or...

    Victory: Assault Weapons Ban Not to Be Included in Senate Gun Control Package

    Your sarcasm is duly noted ... but for those that didn't get it, out fit the house with whatever you can *legally* obtain (which includes weapons bought with a government-issued FFL Class III license).
