    PENTAGON: Sharing Christian Faith Could Lead to Court Martial... Charges of Treason

    You aren't comparing religions, you are comparing myths and entertainment to religion. Speaking of history, what historical evidence are you going to present to prove your theory concerning Christianity?

    PENTAGON: Sharing Christian Faith Could Lead to Court Martial... Charges of Treason

    There is nothing scientific about faith either, but if you're going to claim anthropological science, you should probably be more specific. No one lives lives by Greek mythology. No one puts themselves in harms way to propagate a Santa doctrine. Similarly, no one has been changed or benefitted...

    PENTAGON: Sharing Christian Faith Could Lead to Court Martial... Charges of Treason

    :lol Yeah, that's what I'd thought. The people who didn't know how anything worked managed to invent embalming by understanding human anatomy, but the fear of dying led them to calming stories of gods, God and higher powers that hold humans accountable to them. Very scientific theory you're...

    And you have anthropological evidence for this theory?

    PENTAGON: Sharing Christian Faith Could Lead to Court Martial... Charges of Treason

    The preference for one thing over the other doesn't really result in a fearful need to create stories to make one feel better about his choice. You're right it's not - what the hell is 'rocket surgery'?

    It's about more than just rights

    Is this an example of one of those emotional states not stunted by religion? Is this a better example?

    PENTAGON: Sharing Christian Faith Could Lead to Court Martial... Charges of Treason

    I'm sure it is a disturbing idea, but I'm not sure why you're bringing it to the discussion. Obviously Dez is talking about death and the fear of it; you only fear a thing based on consequence. If you can, define the logic of one's fear of death based on no consequence and further on some one...

    PENTAGON: Sharing Christian Faith Could Lead to Court Martial... Charges of Treason

    Or if you put it another way, what can be so troubling about simply not existing? Losing out on one more cupcake? What is more troubling: being held accountable for not only your every outward action, but also every miserable utterance and lousy thought? Who's more inclined to be viewed as a...

    Fast Food Strike: Walkouts, Protests Continue National Movement For Higher Wages

    Socialism/communism isn't necessary in a Democracy, it's only necessary for a lazy ass society that has no will power. If anyone gave a crap about how companies run and expand profits on cheap shit, they'd simply stop buying the product and force the companies to alter their model. As it...

    Fast Food Strike: Walkouts, Protests Continue National Movement For Higher Wages

    I don't have a strong opinion of the people doing this in either direction, but are they trying to better their situation in a sustainable way? It's a transient sort of occupation, like pumping gas. Does MacDonald's offer a pension or profit sharing plan? Can you retire from MacDonald's in...

    Your money, your interests.

    They all waste money on crap, but geez, don't pay to apologize. What next, pay them to assault us? Oh wait, they're already armed with our equipment. I dont think the two party system is the problem, it's the degenerates abusing the system to the point of it being unrecognizable. Create a new...

    It's about more than just rights

    Something like this can't be answered in a short space, because each assertion comes with it's own set of questions that will just depart from the initial question. I'd start answering that question by saying that truth is exclusive, not equivocal. A lot of people, mostly detractors, like to...
