Not that the oaths of liars are worth the air that issue from their face holes.

It is good in so far as it agrees in part with Scott's understanding. So I read between the lines that it is a good start in his opinion.

It is still the law in most states, though the supreme court has ruled it unconstitutional to force students to recite it.

Obstensively since 1776. Reinterated every day by school children pledging allegiance to the flag, and before every congressional session.

Isn't this a civil suit? But I wonder if findings from this case can be taken up by a prosecutor?

If it were an Islamic country heads would roll. Or someone might get stabbed. There is a double standard due a lack of fear towards Christians. Heavy handed indoctrination may help preserve morality but I don't think that should be the goal. What you end up with is a hypocritical theocracy...

Seems dangerous to take chemicals not made for human consumption. You don't know if the seller will try to cheat you and give you something else that is poison.

How are people deceived? Let's work it out. My belief is that people tend to believe whatever they want to believe. Given two choices of equal uncertainty they choose what is most convenient for them. The most convenient thing to believe is that which they can fit into their world view. And...

I wonder if this is a new identity given to us in heaven, to commemorate our complete separation from the old world and old life? And rather everyone will use that name in heaven, or is it going to stay personal. It would make sense if the white stone is symbolic of Christ. While some names...

So what is the difference in popular political opinion between Russia and the government in Ukraine? It doesn't appear to be a matter of politics, but of territory.

So apparently the Russian military uses conscription as a normal part of their armed forces. There is a mandatory term of service of one year for all males. Many other countries do something similar. Generally they are not deployed abroad, however some are in Ukraine right now.

It is still early, but Ukraine has started conscription. Russia may have to as well to keep up to with Ukraine's numbers.

So God wants us to believe, and be reconciled to him. And the only reason for that is his love.

I see God as high and mighty, the creator of the universe. Then I see what he has done for me, even the tinyiest thing, which should be so far beneath his notice. The whole human race should be beneth his notice. But it is not, and we are not beneath his notice because he is above human...

We'd be saying go to your fallout shelters if you have one.

Cynicism these days means you believe people are always motivated by self interest. But what of God? Acts 17:25 "And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else."
