Because of the absurdity of the position. It's the most naive and irresponsible thing to present 50 years of recorded history as indicative of all of recorded human history. For those who like to come at things from an angle I expect to be scientific - and that is not a negative thing - I would...

First off, these statistics start in the 1950s, the headline on record is a bit sensationalist given that we have 50-65 years of data to look at. The data, for instance, on "illicit substances" is rather laughable. It's just from the 1980s (not the decades when many drugs were first...

You must not have been good enough right, because you learn to adapt. (That didn't feel good, did it?) When you insult someone, of course they'll respond. I could insinuate that you probably have a website somewhere, and want to impugn a competitor, or just enjoy knocking someone who you don't...

Actually, if you knew as much as you said you did, then you might be familiar with a tool called a proxy. What this little tool means is that any member, at any time, can go grab an IP address not associated with a previously used IP address of their own, and appear to be a completely different...

Just released a review of Recovering Redemption by Matt Chandler and Michael Snetzer, pastors at The Village Church. Link: http://litaflame.com/recovering-redemption-review/ Share the tweet below on Twitter for a chance to win a copy!

Yes, the former (the desire for things) simply is a cancerous outgrowth of the latter. I'm not sure if you know of him, but Rod Dreher (an Orthodox Christian) blogged on this a good bit lately. He talks about how many cultures across the world see things like demons and supernatural occurrences...

I would invest the time in researching and learning the plugins. Any time you create a product (or website), you create a maintenance cycle. The product must be maintained against updates, exploits, and even just the day to day tasks of creating and maintaining content. Creating three websites...

Welcome to the community! Just curious, what's the story behind your username?

Pantheism and Panentheism do seem to be growing. I've even seen this Christianized to a degree with an overemphasis on God being in everything or everything being a part of God. It is always intriguing as to how these various errors seem to recycle. I've personally not heard too many people use...

And, in all honesty, I'd counter that with a charge of ethnocentrism. Correlation doesn't always equal causation. Could it be that the westernized mindset leads to secularization versus development leading there? In fact, I'd argue that this reverses the trend set in earlier ages where...

Those are pretty stock and standard yes, but then there's a reason for that! I'ma bit partial to Come Thy Fount of Every Blessing and Here I Am Lord. I appreciate the theology generally contained within the hymns. I listen/worship to both contemporary music and traditional hymns, but often find...

Aspen, I think you touched on a key point. Many folks are rejecting a Christianity based in too much "rationalism" (IE: the concept that every single thing can be systematized) or that there are often irrational (though they may seem rational to deceived believers) predictions and focuses on...

Welcome aboard! I trust and hope that you'll be able to find some help in your faith here. We are all at different stages and maturity levels. There are no apologies needed!

Welcome to Christianity Board! What would you say are your top 3 hymns?

Welcome to the community! :)

If you come to a roadblock, drop me a line. Not sure I'll know the answer, but we'll find it. Drupal is uber robust as a CMS, but it takes a lot of time to master. I've never invested the time to fully learn it. With what you are doing, I personally think it would be overkill. Drupal is best at...

Name It and Claim It - There are a number of names that this goes under, but it all can be contained under the umbrella of materialism. We've tried to synthesize Christianity with materialism in the form of most of the Word Faith concepts and it's left us with a faith that is all about acquiring...

I do this for a living both with my day job and my side company. I took a look through your website the other day after reading your join thread and marked it as not using a CMS. (Yes, us nerds do that when we visit a new site just to see what people are running.) Honestly, your website would...

Insurance companies definitely shoulder some of the blame for this mess that we are in, but the underlying issues still endure. Businesses are as worried as individuals when it comes to healthcare...

http://www.biblegateway.com/blog/2014/05/a-summary-of-recent-bible-reading-surveys/ Bible Gateway did a great blog post on a rollup of recent Bible reading survey. All of the trends are pretty much to be expected, but they're definitely alarming in the sense that we are becoming Biblically...
