i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.
i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.
i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.
Tal - Are you keeping up to date with the feminist movement in the past few years?
If you were you would know my comment is not even controversial.
Hmmm... it is quite controversial really! I've read quite a lot of feminist works and think I'm reasonably up to date. I haven't really picked up on any 'misandry'
this should be fun.
building a wall is unchristian.
i can't understand why the pope is getting involved in american politics.. poor donald..
i have seen many people ask the question, "if its not the truth what else is there?
" i imagine that most people want to remain in a christian faith so i want to build a matrix for one to use as a guide in finding a new church if he or she feels a need to worship.
i personally don't attend any church and i will keep my personal beliefs to myself.
Google a church before you join! Just because there's no negative information it's not a guarantee that it's a good church, but it helps.
Join a church which provides access to its accounts. You have a right to know where your money is going, if you donate any.
Join a church which has good child safety procedures, because children are important.
yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
Hi Slim,
I've read that book, this article is basically a short version of the book:

he is back home and making god progress.. he has issued an audio statement here....
Was sorry to read this but seems likely to make a full recovery which is good news. I still think it would be better for him to stay off twitter and maybe even out of the limelight generally, but not better off dead of course.
I see the church of England got criticised for offering to pray for him, but I doubt Dawkins was bothered by it.

was not sure where to post this, but i was curious, how do some of you now feel about the military?
would any of you let your children enlist, or would you yourselves join any military field?
how do you feel about the idea of women in the military?
seems to be quite a few posters recently pulling down the beliefs of jw's as not biblical or truly christian.
maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, i really don't care.. in some important ways though mainstream christians often behave better than jehovah's witnesses; most don't practice shunning or impose lethal medical prohibitions on their members.
many are far more tolerant of the lgbt community and a few even make the awkward attempt to square the fact of evolution with their faith.. please note that i'm saying some, not all.. so i suppose it's fair to say that differing forms of christianity can be better or worse for individuals, families and the wider community.
