But then arises the doubt, can the mind of man, which has, as I fully believe, been developed from a mind as low as that possessed by the lowest animal, be trusted when it draws such grand conclusions?

Saddam guilty ? Justice in the middle east ?

Well the decision handed down today, was that Saddam was found guilty of murdering some 120 innocent people, after an assasination attempt on his life in that area....? The court is suggesting a 'death penality'?

Well where are all the Christians in America, and the religious right that believes that 'thou shalt not kill" ?

Anyway, while we are on the subject of 'innocent people' being killed in the middle east, it is reported that some 200,000 to 400,000 innocent Iraqi's have been killed by the decision to invade that country because Saddam was suppose to have had 'weapons of mass destruction.

Is anyone going to be put on trial for the death of those hundreds of thousands of lives, not to mention the billions in destruction to property.

Imagine if they hang a person for killing a 120 people what the sentence should be for killing hundreds of thousands ?

Where is the real justice and compassion ?

Okay so I live close to a black neighborhood and I'm dating a black girl that lives there. I have heard that people in this neighborhood aren't very happy because many of their girls are turning to Latinos instead of blacks so now they're mad at them. Therefore, they also hate all Latinos. I am a Latino do you think they would jump me or something if I ever go in there?

It bothers me when I see it. It's like taking the Christ out of Christmas. I know some will say it's just an abbreviation, but Christmas isn't that long a word. Do you ever see Hanukkah abbreviated Xkah or Ramadan as Xdan? Even if it was an abbreviation, wouldn't "Cmas" be more logical?

This is a direct quote from the short story "Stability" written by Philip K. Dick: "The legend says that once there was a very evil city, it was so evil that God made it small and shut it up in a glass, and left a watcher of some sort to see that no one came along and released the city by smashing the glass. It is supposed to have been lying for eternity, waiting to escape."

Anyone know if this is a real legend or did Philip K. Dick make it up? Is there a name for it or any other details you could elaborate on? Is it in the bible somewhere?

Let's say that person was someone from history or anyone who was important and/or famous and you were an exact duplicate of that person, knowing everything that person knew, plus the fingerprints & DNA were exactly the same, & people either believed or disbelieved, what would be your reaction and the reaction[s] of the people?

I've felt this way for awhile, but I keep doubting myself because of my religious family. I don't want to disappoint them, but I want to be myself. How do I tell if its "just a phase" or if its the real deal? (its been maybe a year feeling like that) And what do I say to my family?

Virgin, yet they do not plan on saving themselves for her? Isn't that being a hypocrit?

Quote: To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I confess, absurd in the highest degree.

SHOULD I GET RID OF IT? It's not like anyone else I know can use it. My mom was 95 pounds and 5' 2".

I personally am as least 2 sizes too big for it and I got married years ago.

I mean if Jesus promised that man would rise from their tombs, what would be the point of them being in Heaven, would they then have to be expelled from heaven to come back down to their resurrected bodies? That would be ridiculous cause why would one want to be put back on earth if they were in heaven? Any intelligent commentary would be much appreciated.

"Science can purify religion from error and superstition;
religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish....
We need each other to be what we must be, what we are called to be.

He's admitted to buying illegal drugs and of soliciting a prostitute.

Should doing the Jimmy "The Crybaby" Swaggart thing be enough?

I'm sure if the tables were turned, he'd expect others to pay for their sins.

So my bday party was today, and my friend gave me a computer game that I already have. I LOVE it, but since I already have it, it's not too useful for me. She didn't include a receipt, but is it possible to return it to Target? I know that's where she got it b/c she told me. But what I REALLY NEED TO KNOW, is how to write the thank you note. Please help!!!!
