Re: Catholic v. Christian
I appreciate your honesty.
Although I obviously don't agree with your friend's conclusion, I also respect anyone who thinks outside what they were brought up to believe, and arrives at their own...

Re: Catholic v. Christian
So what is someone born in the Middle East into an Islamic family supposed to do? If it were you, do you HONESTLY think you would not be a Muslim right now?

Re: An embarrassing post
Whoa! Thanks!!! That's exactly what I was looking for! It even stated that thrust is hard to grasp, so I don't feel quite as dumb. That's definitely a site that will go in my bookmarks. Thanks...

An embarrassing post
I hate to admit this, but for the longest time I though thrust was air pushing off of air. I thought a rocket blasted off by the massive thrust pushing the rocket away from the ground. As it...

Re: Logic in an atheistic worldview
I'm not looking for a reaction. I'm simply responding to the incredulity of this OP and others who can't understand how an atheist gets through life without a belief in god.
I'm not sure why...

Re: Logic in an atheistic worldview
If I ever found out there was a god, I certainly wouldn't jump off a bridge. I might even become more religious than you are now.
This is what amazes me about theists who try and contemplate the...

Re: Logic in an atheistic worldview
Being part of the process is NOT insignificant or purposeless. Life is what you make of it.
I often wonder what would happen if science ever DID prove the non-existence of god. Would all...

Re: winner at 20/40, loser at 30/60?
80k hands is still very much the short term online especially when multi-tabling. I suspect you've ran well at 20-40, are running poorly at 30-60, and are also having some adjustment problems in the...

Re: Question for atheists and agnostics
I agree with what you're saying. It's just my experience with the very religious that they they don't care where they are and feel compelled to save an atheistic heathen when they see one. I guess I...

Re: The Bible
Well, I'm not interested in taking a class or even studying it for that matter. But perhaps talking to a priest regarding questions I have, might not be a bad idea though. Thanks.
Also, I thought...

Instead of failure, you should feel pride that you have raised a son who is his own man.
And if he winds up an atheist, you should also take solace that he probably turned out a little smarter...
