How drunk did you have to be to come up with that? The whole "special class" rubbish is entirely OUTSIDE OF the US Constitution. NOBODY has ANYTHING guaranteed them in the Constitution on the basis of gender, race, creed, etc. You must be aware that nowhere in the Constitution is there an...

Socrates was traveling to visit his friend Xeno, when he came to a fork in the road. At the fork was a man. "Dear fellow," said Socrates, "I seek the home of my friend, Xeno. Do you know where it is?" Without speaking a word, the man flung out an arm, pointing along the left fork of the road...

If you consider me a "tea-bagger", you are such a severe and ignorant bigot that any attempt to communicate with you is foredoomed.

I think government should cancel all handouts, both to corporations and to people who don't work. Government should cut "services" to the bone. Government should likewise cut taxes severely. I also think that government should remove all bans on substance use, including smoking bans, drug...

I'm reminded of the congregation my fiancee's mother attends. They're the sort who do (and they do) use "Samaritan" as a synonym for "good person" or "charitable person" and then turn around and bad-mouth "Mexicans" (or other groups, but mostly "Mexicans"). They consider themselves to be...

Image analysis is always fraught with the "find whatever ye seek" problem. I've seen it in action in scientific conferences. Look for a specific symmetry by means of computer-"aided" methods, and you'll almost always find it unless you control for artifacts. Then, it tends to be rather rare...

Can one be a German without worshiping Donnar, Wotan, etc.?

Certain Muslims do bad things, but that's not Islam, because it's not how a particular reading of the Qu'ran goes. Therefore, one should not be angry at Islam for the bad things that Muslims do. Certain Americans do bad things, but that's not America, because it's not how a particular reading...

Israel is a country that used to be fashionable but no longer is fashionable. The political fashionistas have moved on to new fads. That is all it amounts to.

He is beyond "orbit". He is the same human being who ate the grilled fish. Jesus DOES have these organs today. By virtue of His perfect Divinity, these organs are maintained in perfect working order indefinitely. Upon the Resurrection, we may also be so supported, by the Grace and Will of God.

Someone who loves to wallow in ignorance claimed that the New Testament was written specifically to sound fancy, or words to that effect. The New Testament was NOT WRITTEN IN ENGLISH. When one makes claims about how a book is "written", then it must refer to the original language of the work...

A totalitarian goon is never happy unless government dictates every aspect of life.

But you used absolute language, without allowing for exceptions to your claims. The old "I didn't say 'every single'" play is nothing but a dishonest cop-out. In other words, you are ignorant, you are thrilled with your ignorance, and you choose to continue to wallow in ignorance instead of...

Keep hobbling along on crutches, don't ever bother to learn to walk or run. Enslave yourself to an object.

You are looking at "noise" and inventing signal around it. Digital image manipulation is not perfect, it introduces artifacts.

All of these chemical methods are the spiritual equivalents of training wheels. They have their place, but the training wheels eventually have to come off if one really wants to ride the bike.

You're wrong. Jesus IS fully human and fully Divine. He rose from the dead, retaining His humanity. Jesus was not a mere "mortal manifestation". Jesus Christ IS the God-man. He IS God, he IS man. He IS the bridge between the unbridgeable. If He ever ceased being fully human, He ceased...

Of course Scripture is dangerous. The more powerful and useful something could be, the more dangerous it is.

Do you not think that God would know of the implications of His words? Why did he choose them? Was the Messiah just another yutz or something more? He was something more. He spoke as He spoke because he already knew that this was what His Apostles believed. Therefore, He presented a lesson...

You blamed the cat for being chased. Therefore, you blame the target of aggression, not the aggressors. It's really that simple. "When the cat doesn't run..." "When the woman doesn't disobey..." "When the woman doesn't dress provocatively..." They're ultimately the same sentiment.
