If the November elections turn the Senate over to the R's as appears likely it might be a great time for the stock market and corporations.  I seem to recall that these are usually great times for stocks. Personally I'm hoping for a little more of a correction and that might be the perfect time to ...

What sort of torment are you dealing with these days?  There's nothing more therapeutic than sharing anonymously with hundreds of strangers. Mostly sitting in a goddamn cubicle every day counting the days until I can retire. Especially after coming back from a vacation that ended with a hike on Mt....

Yes, and generates the exact results of its actual intent. This is where I differ from most of you on your views of liberalism and I could very well be wrong. I don't think liberalism has an actual intent. I think it's just people trying to get fantasy to conform to reality and failing much more of...

Mountaineer, I'm tired of your patience.  You're making impatient, reactionary a-holes like me look bad!  :) PP4Me2, I think you need a nap.  You're pretty crabby for someone with only 14 posts.  It took me hundreds to reach your level of grouchiness. Actually I needed a few hours of sleep to wake ...

You really do seem troubled and carrying some kind of a very large burden.  I'm sorry.  PM me if there is anything I can do to help.  Seriously. ... Mountaineer Indeed, To open eyes that are blind,to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. For my people ...

In your post above, the correct grammatical usage is you're, not your.  ;) Thanks for pointing that out. I damn well know the difference between your and you're but lately I find that I type faster than I think. Will try to avoid incorrect "gramatical" usage in the future. I am very sorry...

Many Christians would agree with you, PP4me2.  Others, like Mountaineer and myself, believe that God's promises are far more trustworthy than fuzzy feelings and personal experiences.  If there were a time when I felt I had been spiritually regenerated I would be deeply suspicious of it.  Meanwhile,...

Those who believe this will get a "free pass" at the Last Day when Jesus returns to judge us; if you do not accept the promises of Jesus, you have done the "Hell thing" to yourself.  [/i] Your God sounds like a typical domestic abuser to me. "If you had only done what I tol...

I think the basic problem with Christianity and why it won't continue to exist in its present form for very much longer is its basic premise. And the basic premise is that God hates you because you are a sinner. And because your are a sinner you will spend eternity in a place called hell where you w...

As I mentioned before, I received the Holy Spirit at my baptism from an external to me source (from my perspective this is fact since I believe God's Word and that God is always truthful); Can you describe for us about receiving the Holy Spirit at baptism? Is it just a matter of faith because your ...

How do you reconcile the Peano Axioms and Gödel's Undecidability or Incompleteness Theorem, or said another way, how do you continue to trust math? I continue to trust math because it always works reliably for my necessary purposes every time I need it even though I have no clue who Mr. Piano or Mr...

In Vietnam we dropped more bombs than were dropped in all of WWII and still they kept coming (I was there, BTW). As General Westmoreland famously said the reason they kept coming and we had to blow them up is because they didn't have the same respect for human life that we did. So the question is, m...
