Quote: Do you believe the speed of light to be constant? Not according to science. Before any arguing of this point, what is our reference for this? [or did you just dream it up?]

No, we're to believe he was telling a bunch of human jerks an answer to the time immemorial questions: "Where did it all come from?" and "What's the meaning of it all?" And what's the difference between that and my phrase, "God knows no time boundaries?"

And I thought my 9 years of part time college with full time work were a long time!

If to God, a thousand years is as one day, and one day as a thousand years, and man, who reckons a day as a constant divided into 24 parts called hours... how do you know it was the 24-hour definition if there was no man to witness it? With 1000 years = one day, that means it could be 1000 years...

Well, you're half right. As a little kid I developed eternal hate for the Green Bay Packers from the Ice Bowl which is still going today. And I suppose that's odd considering that when Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys and fired Tom Landry and forced so many changes, that I came to no longer care...

Q: When is War Moral or Immoral? A: When we are attacked first and many innocent civilians are killed. What would a respondant be saying if he did answer this poll? The question should have been "When is war moral?" or "When is war immoral?"

I don't think so. I'm quite certain Washington's Birthday became Presidents' Day before MLK got his own day. And though Lincoln's birthday was marked on most calendars, I don't think it was even a true holiday-- at least not where all government offices close. But as for school, we did not have...

The Prime Minister must be Anglican? That's not what I've always read... only the reigning monarch must belong to the C of E, and every one since James II, who tried to make Catholicism the official state church again, has been C of E. But I think after Lizzy croaks, changes are coming in all...

Who's your NFL team? I don't have one... they cost close to a billion dollars these days.

I specifically remember hearing that line in a church revival in 1983, when our church was without a pastor and at that time did not have an interim. The revival preacher, a pastor at another, larger, church, said "I paid $2600 in social security taxes last year, and I don't expect to ever see...

The etimology of the word pulpit shows it originally meant the platform itself rather than that tall stand behind which a preacher stands. But taking it in the sense of the latter, I still said "Other answer" because our church hasn't used one of those in a long time. It doesn't matter much to...

Yeah, sometimes I wish there really was a real Abraham who longed to see Jesus' day.

I thought there had been some cases where that type of thing resulted in legal action for 'religious discrimination' on grounds that a business serving food or drink to the public cannot refuse to serve, or award special services to, any person on account of religion (and race, color...

National Signing Day has now passed, and as usual for the last decade or so, there are few surprises... few, not none. Tennessee has to be one of them, signing 2 former Florida commitments, Nu'Keese Richardson and Marsalis Teague. But at a breakfast this morning, Tennessee Coach Lane Kiffin...

I have only been a member of 3 churches in my life, and I do know that in all 3 the churches paid those taxes, and in all 3 SS was mentioned derogatorily in sermons as an incompetent system. Why did they not opt for more into their annuities instead? Why pay into-- umm, have the church pay...

In the county in which I live, there has just been a multiple-murder conviction from a case in 2005 and the death penalty enacted in the last few days. One guy admitted to the murder, but was proved to be lying, and now the real (hopefully) murderer has been sentenced.

I just looked it up, and one site offers a To Preach Your Own Funeral cassette tape from 1979. So maybe the idea is not so novel; just the video part of it.

But if only one innocent person spends the rest of his natural life in prison, how many too many is that?

It's probably already happened somewhere that the deceased preached his own funeral.

That's very much like our setup, except the screens are further apart and our ceiling isn't so V-shaped, though it looks that way from the outside.
