  TELL US, please, are you Pre or Post--Enlightenment in your thinking?

  by Terry in

  before the age of enlightenment the earth was filled with many nations living under vastly differing beliefs about the world.. .

  tribes, nations and empires possessed fanciful superstitious beliefs about their own importance in the big picture.. .

  religion helped man find a place among fearful gods and demons.

  We should remember that Terry is not very good as a devils advocate, as he is himself an atheist.

  niight has fallen at the beth sarim mansion.. president joseph franklin rutherford (the "judge") sits calmly sipping whisky from a flask on the edge of his silk sheets at bedtime.

  he sets the glass on the night stand.

  he begins cleaning his nickel-plated pistol to high gleam.

  One can always put water in ones whisky, which makes it equivalent.

  BTW - I was going to ask you - what are you doing for Christmas day feasting?

  What do you think of Anselm?

  He appears to have had a very nice mountaintop castle.

  His argument?

  I do not see how it is possible to prove something (imaginary) by saying you cannot prove something - (also imaginary).

  Does it succeed?

  It can only succeed in the imagination, therefore it cannot succeed to a materialistic philosopy.

  If so, why?

  Because I cannot touch it.

  If not, why not?

  Because my fingers cannot reach that far.

  get on the anti gun bandwagon,.

  it is not the middle ages, the rrvolutinary or civil war time- it's now - 2012 and soon to be 2013. america needs to become like canada, now now now.

  you can argue all you want, but if you can't open your eyes, you have some deep dark issues that require a shrink.. i will not answer you or taunt you.

  There are over 250 million guns in the United States right now.

  It is constitutionally, functionally, culturally, and politically impossible to simply go and abscond them all.

  huibers, a christian, used books 6-9 of genesis as his inspiration, following the instructions god gives noah down to the last cubit.

  translating to modern measurements, huibers came up with a vessel that works out to a whopping 427 feet (130 meters) long, 95 feet (29 meters) across and 75 feet (23 meters) high.

  story here.. .

  Why does he have it loaded on a barge? Doesn't it float on its own?

  another reality tv show on the amish this week in the us.

  great for laughs (laughter is the best medicine) and possibly a good conversation starter for members who have jws in the family circle.

  nothing like the absurd about tribes and cults to jog the brain.. the link:http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/amish-mafia.
