Hi Lacewing, it's good to see you back in the asylum (I was getting worried about you). Hi! Thank you! I had two critical health scares that ended up vanishing on the follow-up tests. :) Since then, I've just been having fun and being productive -- glad to be alive. Still here on planet Earth.

Superstitious nonsense in the 21st century. God help US. Yes!!! What I find fascinating is how uninterested Christians are in challenging the claims of an obvious charlatan and deceiver at odds with their teachings and beliefs. Their Devil, himself, (it would seem) could so easily fool them by simp...

I find it most strange when PhD holders argue about the possibility or impossibility of prophecy, I mean, who, but a complete idiot cannot tell you straight out, the names of the most important, and only important Prophets of History? :lol: Were they prophets for profits? He named the "four pr...

If there is a God, then the question arises, what would/does God want me to do? I suggest that God only has two specific demands of us. The first one is mandatory ,... (as in we have no choice in the matter) ...and that is "receive the gift of life." And the second demand is optional ... ...

I took this up with Google's AI Assistant... Oh, if only you would think , instead of just asking the wrong question to an algorithm. How much better the answers you get might be! Yeah, well, here's the thing, I was compelled to choose between two methods of research... 1. Spend a great deal of my ...

How is ignoring the 11% contributed by the US (the second largest amount) helping the developing world? Here's a much better question for you: how is ignoring the presently-growing 89% in the rest of the world going to save the environment? Even better question --- The US population is about 3.5% o...

How important for Christianity is the belief that Jesus is going to return to Earth? I mean, if Jesus never returns, does that mean Christianity is not the true religion? How about we borrow an idea from Buddhism and simply assume that all of the world's religions are nothing more than temporary &q...
