I've been fooled by the necroposters again!

Shine is often deceptive. You know him by his fruits. You will be better able to distinguish these fruits with age. I'm not saying wait until you're 25, but waiting until college-age isn't a bad idea. I'm glad I didn't date in high school. Would've been a hot mess.

This is an interesting way to introduce yourself.

I'm about half-way through The Iliad. It's a real crime nobody assigned it in High School or College as it really is one of the great Western masterpieces. Cherry pick a few of the graphically violent passages for the boys before beginning. You will have no problem motivating them to read the...

It sure is. It's the worst. Now that I have gotten over the relief of being out of a relationship with an atheist, there are days I really miss her. In those moments, I remind myself are good times were gifts from a good God, but they cast long shadows I'm on the whole better off avoiding...

I think the question is whether the trend of the modern bitch I defined above was more common or less common in antiquity (this is starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch), the Sarah anecdote notwithstanding. It's possible physical violence played a role, but there were doubtless other...

I'm well-acquainted with your pain as I stuck with an atheist two years after she de-converted.

My mom's side of the family is strongly of that pioneer stock. It's trickled down to the present due in part to religious conviction and country upbringing. Almost everyone in my immediate and extended family bailed hay, tapped syrup, butchered animals, stacked wood, and harvested corn at some...

Just when I thought nobody could put together an immigration bromide better than Jeb Bush, this happens!

Oh absolutely. There are more temptations here than you can count. Especially for a young man.

They were inspired by Chuck Berry, but I wouldn't argue they sounded like Chuck Berry cover bands with less talent and slightly warped lyrics. If you're comfortable crossing that bridge, we'll have to agree to disagree hahahaha

Those of you who prayed deserve an update. My outlook is better now. Clearer. If God wills me to stay in Vegas, he will equip me to stay. Thank you.

I would like to know what he means by it.

Hate primarily expressed and acted upon in politics.

I'll say it. As far as politically-channeled hate is concerned, these guys are a side show. The least of our concerns.

Hahaha. I like that. I am kjvs because God has yet to guide English speakers to produce a more beautiful, memorable Bible. And he won't for quite some time because our language is so debased.

The point of the book is that regardless of the founding fathers' religious beliefs, the (small-r) republican tradition they were born into, The tradition of self-governance that served as casus belli in the War for Independence, had a VERY Christian cultural backdrop. That and many of our...

It's funny. The KJV is my favorite version of the Bible. The one I commit to memory. I want to be a KJVO, but can't cross that bridge just yet.

To all the people who claim America has always been non-Christian: Amazon.com: The Origins of American Constitutionalism (Bibliographies in the History of): 9780807115060: Lutz, Donald S.: Books It's a small book. You can read it in an evening. Also, I think it's important to note Paganism...

A better question is what does a non-practicing Neo-Nazi look like? Do they hate Jews on Christmas and Easter, but eat manischewitz and mozza ball soup the other 363 days of the year? :ROFL:
