Re: Study: Drinking coffee and tea is associated with a 32% lower risk of stroke
I like coffee. I do not see how drinking coffee is morally compromised by child labor in southern Mexico. Economic and family conditions in the area are responsible not coffee beans. If I buy drugs, wouldn't that contribute to the profit that the drug cartels make? Similarly, isn't buying coffee ma...

Re: Visiting Caldwell Idaho Soon
Upon finishing high school I spent some weeks harvesting lima beans in the area, staying in Caldwell. The most striking thing about the town was the railroad next to the apartment building we (I and some friends) stayed at. Shock one right out of bed in the middle of the night. Well until you got a ...

Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths
Calvinism is indeed a repellent and self-centered theology which allows and even glorifies all sorts of despicable acts such as slavery, tyranny, removal of women's rights, and much more. Just read up on RJ Rushdoony, if you have any doubt about what pure, undistilled American Calvinism looks like....

Re: Hitler may have a better chance in heaven than ex-Mormon apostates
You have some interesting quotes from Mein Kampf. Perhaps it is shifts in social atmosphere currently which make me hear emerging shadow side Christian desires in his comments and not just manipulated images for show.(the antiChrist comes proclaiming to lead the saving of Christianity) I think poli...

Re: Hitler may have a better chance in heaven than ex-Mormon apostates
I have indicated here on several prior occasions that I’m inclined to a quasi-universalism. I believe in a Heavenly Father who loves his children with a love so intense and powerful and pure that I doubt that any mortal can really comprehend it, let alone be capable of it. Moreover, I take very ser...

Re: Hitler may have a better chance in heaven than ex-Mormon apostates
Perhaps I’m misremembering (and my apologies to Dr. Peterson, if I am), but hasn't he stated before that one of the reasons atheism has no appeal to him, is that it lacks the cosmic justice for those who are victims of atrocities? Where is the justice for the millions of gays, Jews, Communists, gyp...

Re: Study: Drinking coffee and tea is associated with a 32% lower risk of stroke
However, the doctor in the video explains, "What the authors found is a U-shaped association, so I do want to exercise caution here. A lot of the time when we look at observational research, we can find these U-shaped association curves. But as we went through earlier, we cannot fully rely on this ...

Re: What is Gravity?
There is a charming quality to childhood science theories. I remember in grade school a friend and I thought we would try and make a rocket. That was long enough ago the possibility of satellites was new. We purchased sheet metal for a body and started plans for an engine. My friend ,a year older th...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion
Well Trump has a special spiritual power to know who actually won elections. The power is much better than counting votes which sometimes gets it all wrong.
Some people believe religiously that Trump has this power. Others know it is a joke but are willing to go along with the joke.

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion
I thought to remind Bill that every presidential candidate speaks to large crowds of enthusiastic supporters. It is pretty basic to the process.The photo of Obama shows he was in a political campaign.
Beyond that read Gadiantons comments. He is observant and find interesting thoughts.
