Carl Sagan's Baloney Kit, is a very good chapter in his Demon Haunted World book shining a candle in the dark. Also,What happens when two scholars on the same subject for example Jesus existed, no Jesus never existed have different so-called proofs to back them up. Its like plaintiff and defendant arguments. Of cause one can do their own research also but that's not what I'm asking. The two scholars swear that they are the one who have the facts right.There is only one correct answer to the question did Jesus son of God really exist. I doubt that these two opposing scholars are using what you have shown here in Topic. So, we are left to come to the answer ourselves. I don't think that the question about Jesus existence matters at all for non believers, however, it does for believers. Blue Blades

conversation with a JW about the sun
by neat blue dog injw: didn't we just hear somebody say that the sun's gonna blow up?.
me: well, they were saying that it will expand and eventually burn out.. jw: but it can't do that, it just keeps blowing up inside and getting more power.. me: well, they were talking about stars in general, how they have a life span.. jw: but god didn't make it that way, it's firmly established to time indefinite.
it's not like the sun is a regular star.

I was quite tolerant of this guy until now
by never a jw inpresident trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.
however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".
now that has changed.

Never a jw. Tell me about something positive. Like the 8 years of Obama. Tell me like the open mice to Putin, "When I get relected I'LL BE BETTER ABLE TO DO MORE FOR YOU". How about that! Can you explain why that is not brought up over and over again.

Terry. I would give her a copy of your book "I Wept By The Rivers Of Babylon"...A Prisoner of Conscience in a Time of War. As a follow up to your discussion with her. It explains much more than you have told her already. I'm sure she would appreciate it as you already started a dialogue about. Blueblades

The devil knows about everybody,all the christians that ever lived by rank and serial number. Ministers,priests,nuns,choirboys,bishops,popes,Baptists,Quakers,Lutherans,Mormons,Buddhists,Hindus. Atheists,infidels, pagans,sun-worshipper. His greatest achievements.Battlefields,Wars,torture chambers,famines,plagues,snuff movies,blitzkriegs,child porn, multiple rapes,mass murders. this I read in the book by James Robertson. Is it God ,the devil or just mankind that causes all this confusion and sorrow. Man has dominated man to his injury, When will it all end? I don't know why I put this out there. The book is a book of fiction or is it?

Murder in the Cathedral (Chess at Barnes & Noble)
by TerryWalstrom ini sat with my board and pieces like a new orleans hooker in a window with a red light, displaying my wanton intentions--eager for action.. last evening in barnes & noble.tuesdays the chess club meets there.. i arrived with my infamous black bag of pawns and rooks and other deadly concealed weapons of regicide--an old warrior in a strange land.. presently, a mother and her son stepped forward.
he was about 12.____mother: “oh, sir--my son has become obsessed with the game of chess and i thought if hecould play some real games with experienced players he might enjoy that.
would it be okay if kevin played a game with you?”.

Terry! There you go again! Writing so beautifully even when it comes to Chess. I use to play in the seventies even when that Awake came out it didn't stop some Bethelites who use to come over to my place to play and have a few beers. Now at 72 I have to think it through much longer. I have every game Bobby Fischer played in one book. Blueblades
