Re: Catholicism Questions
What about where what the church teaches, and what various popes have declared, that DIRECTLY and CLEARLY contradicts Scripture???!!! The list of CC teachings that directly contradict Scripture is lengthy! According to the CC, those of us here whom are Christians and yet reject the Catholic Church a...

Re: The Delusion of "Free Will"
Well, if one does not make his own decisions and freely control his actions, then he is not the driver responsible for his sins. This would mean that even f he rejects God, he is not responsible. But we know these things are both untrue, from a Scriptural basis. Else, what are the choices: Either I ...

Re: Are My Actions Determined?
Audie: Play with Krinks, ya may get hurt. Same as if you mess with greatity great granddaughters of the Great Kahn. Ninety seven British Imperial pounds of fightin' Genghisette is nothing to fool with! Heck, Audie, my dog outweighs you by about 30 lbs. You could probably ride him! Problem is, he is...

Re: Catholicism Questions
Byblos: What difference does it make? I show you then you turn around and say nope, that's not what it says, it says this. Round and round we go. It makes a huge difference as to what you are willing to consider your authority! You are asserting that things you can't know the truth of (the origins ...

Re: Are My Actions Determined?
I consider myself a pure skeptic of anything that has profound implications, especially things claimed to be true, but are dubious, unsubstantiated, or not obvious. So, as I'm skeptical about things that aren't obvious, my skepticism typically leads me to rigorous research into what can be known abo...

Re: Catholicism Questions
Byblos: No one is PRAYING to anyone other than God. The term is used to mean to ask for intercessory prayer and nothing more. And I clarified that this nuance exists. Problem is, millions of Catholics ARE praying to Mary. Wonder WHY? http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=2899 Philip wrote: E...

Re: Catholicism Questions
Prayers, ALL prayers, by the living or those saints in Heaven, are intercessory. Yes, we ask others to pray for us. But we have absolutely NO idea whether those in heaven can actually hear our prayers, or if they even know the details of what happens here. But I can guarantee you that there is no sp...

Re: Grammar question
Every man, when he builds a house, needs to make sure he builds a REALLY nice doghouse - you know, like a man cave for a dog. Or, for those occasions whenever things get really bad, it might be good idea to plan to make your "doghouse" mobile. :P //www.quadcityhome.net/wp-content/uploads/2...

Re: Stop the insanity!!! Transgender "Rights".
It is true that transgender people have been around a very long time - and it is probably almost certain that the tiniest percentage of them would ever have been detectable, much less detected. Also true, transgender bathroom discrimination is not exactly a burning issue - least not in the real worl...

Wow - Ricko has now gone past 14,000 posts - WHEN does he ever sleep (and we already know WHERE he usually sleeps - which explains his flea problem ).

Re: Grammar question
T hen your wife asked you if IT was comfortable sleeping in the dog house. Let's rephrase the sentence, using what "it" implies: (Your friend is confirming what he thinks you have just related to him about what your wife previously said to you.) (So) then your wife asked you if it (your ex...

Re: Why I never became an atheist.
Audie: Is a waterfall "random"? Planned? Story: The water falls where it does, by chance maybe but like Byblos said, why is there motion at all? Is a waterfall random? Why is there motion at all? BOTH are wrong questions. The real questions are: 1) Why is there a waterfall to begin with? ...
