I saw this too. Did nasa say modern civilization is going to die or that certain countries or nations are due to collapse as inevitably happens.

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 24 2014,06:35)Ha ha ha, thanks David!Glad that you too want me around!It's more so that I don't care about tiles. And they seem to bother you. If I get one tile every ten years it will take 50 years for me to be kicked off this thing.

We have been round and round on these things.  1200 pages in this thread.  150,000 pages all together on John 1:1 probably. My belief is that its pointless to start with John 1:1 because depending on belief it can go either way.  And it's impossible to prove otherwise.  Otherwise we would have done so.  That we can spend tens of thousands of page…[Read more]

If these tiles are transferable, and Ed wants his gone, I will accept it. I don't care if I have a tile.

Mike. This discussion is 1200 pages long. Where would I begin?

I'm not sure why Ed has a tile, or if he should have a tile because of a belief, but regarding the interesting and somewhat related conversation in the semi private thread about a kangaroo court, Ed said:A. Neither the Greek, nor the Hebrew has “indefinite articles” So Jesus could not have said ‘one of you is A devil’B. And likewise none of…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Aug. 28 2008,11:38)Matthew 19:3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”  4 “Haven't you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and…[Read more]

I think for this discussion we shouldn't call it slavery. That word is often misunderstood or minimized and has too much emotion in it as a trigger word. Let's call it: ownership of people as property whom you can do what you like with, primarily forced labour, and whom you can discipline as you like, with the exception of blinding them, breaking…[Read more]

Not legit.

Rather than discussing logic as a whole (which I'm sure encompasses all sorts on non-logic) perhaps it makes sense to look at tiny bits of what people call logic to see if they are actually logic or not.

Here is what I think. People see what they want to see.  When it comes to psychics they focus on the 5 hits and forget about or actively avoid thinking about the 95 misses. What this selective focus creates is a false impression of reality. If we only focus on things that are psychologically comforting or that make us feel good, we are deceiving…[Read more]

I feel that rather than dealing with this question, people will push it out of their minds, block it, or attack with ad hominems anyone who asks the question. To be honest with ourselves we must ask the hard questions.
