Last week was the first time I had to choose a doc from the registry, and it was an eye opener [literally, lol]. I picked one in Louisville that was away from downtown, where most are concentrated, because I was in the truck. Probably better done when home, with access to a 4 wheeler, if...

Oh, but there most certainly is a point: pretending to have knowledge one cannot possibly have is even worse than ignorance. And that's pretty much the response I expected: belittling whomever calls it BS because: defenseless.

Ezra Klein is a liberal, but is neither a rookie nor a hack, and has several prestigious awards to prove it, and the respect of many very intelligent and knowledgeable people also. The refusal [or inability] to find any redeeming features in anyone whose political ideologies conflict with...

Please tell us: what do they teach? And how do you know about it?

I didn't read the original RS story, but I've read quite a bit about the aftermath, and not one single person or organization with firsthand knowledge has said that Erdely fabricated a single word of her story, as you allege. The suggestion that Erdely is like Jayson Blair is indicative of a...

I was countering your assertion that no one cares for much more than dollars. In many occupations, that's true: banking, investing, plastic surgery, to name a few. But many occupations, including investigative journalism, attract people who are dedicated to their work, believing that it can make...

I think the Supremes screwed up big time, on this one. If religious beliefs entitle exemption from laws that everyone else must obey, the 'beliefs' are going to become more numerous - and not just from Christians, either. Interesting note: I read somewhere [and no one has refuted it, to my...

See, you can explain and excuse it when they're doing the bullying. Although I think the letters to property managers are extortion, actually.

Re member when the statue of Jesus in Dayton [Goalpost Jesus, or Big Butter Jesus] was struck by lightning and destroyed? Was that "divine intervention, haha" too? See, you're always ready to credit God when you like the result, but you never assign blame to Him when you don't.

She thanked God for the money - not the people who donated it. Christians don't believe in bullies? Maybe you can explain the ones who protest at Women's Clinics, and set up live web cams to film women going in? And the ones who send letters informing a commercial management firm that a...

There is a very simple way to know it's false: the money was donated through a GoFundMe account, with the people donating leaving comments. None of them were from God, much less all of them, so thanking God for the money is giving credit to what she believes, instead of the facts that refute it...

It's really sad, that people believe money is the sole [or biggest] motivator. News flash: there are those who do what they do because they believe in it. Which isn't to say they do it for free, but there are investigative journalists, and teachers, doctors, nurses, coaches, prosecutors, defense...

"Threatened with violence"? [And let's don't forget the outcome: nearly a million dollars in donations, for their troubles], and you think that's equivalent to being dragged to death behind a pickup truck, because a couple good ol boys don't like gay people? Being beat up for walking down the...

No, I don't think. I don't ridicule people who think differently, but people who make statements about something that is clearly false? Fair game. Unless, of course, I think [or suspect] they are mentally ill, if they say something ridiculous, I can say it's ridiculous. And I stand by my...

Oooh, the irony: having to give props to the grandaddy of what you refer to as the "liberal media", for exposing the deficiencies of one of it's own. It's downright delicious, lol. Erdely's reporting was certainly irresponsible, but calling Rolling Stone a "sleazy rag" is just as much a...

We're talking Christians in the country we live in. Any massacre anywhere, for any reason, is a tragedy, but it is not relevant to this discussion.

What list? The list of things you know nothing about, and feel compelled to malign? That's what I thought.

Where did I say they "have no right" to thank God? They have the right of free speech, they can say it if they believe it. But people who believe differently can say what they think, too. When someone thanks God for money they know very well came from other people, I say it tends to show how...

Awww, poor Christians, getting beat up on. You think it's appalling? How many of them have been beat up in public, simply for being Christian? Any one dragged to death behind a pickup truck, that you know of? Or even arrested, for what they do with other consenting adults in the privacy of their...

One can't prove a negative. [ But if there's no proof that God exists after 2000 + years of people really really, really, searching for even a shred, what does that tell us?] The donations don't matter, to me - what matters is the beneficiaries publicly thanking God for the money, when it was...
