There are very many churches (non-Catholic) that have left the Christian tradition, some identify as Unitarian Universalists while others just fly the pride flag and keep their name. There are no blasphemies possible in these churches but that's not what TOL is. If you're in a UU or pride flag...

lol doubt.

Yes with the proviso that "ethics" is a wax nose ambiguous word. My definition which I use for "ethics" is basically the art and science of pursuing happiness----in contrast to the term "morality," by which I mean things that people can be punished criminally for violating----and artificial...

As with all mature content, I strongly oppose them being taught to youngsters without their parents prior and clear consent. Meaning, in public schools. This kind of ethical inculcation should be outlawed. If there's a new critter involved it most certainly could be murder. OK. So then the...

I recommend reading the first page of the linked thread if you haven't, with Quip's and Town's back-and-forth. Town's reasoning is simply solid. He doesn't even argue from the position that life begins at conception, he merely ties together the fact that our constitution is based upon human...

Legally, yes. Ethically I strongly disapprove, as does Catholicism, but we neither of us believe in criminal penalties for it. Brand new critter involved now. See above. My questions weren't just rhetorical. Who gets arrested if a child goes hungry or without healthcare or without housing...

Wow do things change. When I first started lifting after high school, whey or egg protein was only available in boutique stores like GNC or Vitamin Shop, and creatine was only available through body building magazine ad mail order. Now, Walmart carries multiple options for whey isolate, and...

Read at your own risk (potential quackery warning): https://waterfasting.org/extended-healing-fasts-14-40-days/ The site promotes regular 7-10 day water fasting for healing. Regular being yearly.

But not rights to life, liberty, ethical independence, etc. Basically it means, get out of people's way, that's what a right is. Get out of their way, let them be, yield to them. Right to life? Don't kill them. Right to liberty? Don't kidnap or enslave them. Right to ethical independence...

Once there's a new critter involved it's categorically different. You're one of those critters, as am I. You get this, why are you acting like you don't get this?

Revisiting radioactivity, especially as regards dating methods used by geologists. These methods are where geologists get their support for their idea of millions and billions of years. They examine the radioactivity of sedimentary rock strata that we see everywhere on the Earth's land...

What a burn. And here I am just doubting all your claimed credentials, based on your non-ad-hominem shoddy reasoning and rhetoric. Roll eyes.

Huge numbers. Were you doing any other power lifts? Deads? Were you using creatine? Whey? I tapered way off whey this year and I quit creatine completely while I figure out a sustainable program and diet. I know creatine works, I just want to get my diet and routines right before...

Genesis-Revelation.

Specifically not just like that. Read the thread.

That's because your intellect is deformed, distorted, disordered. It's not natural. It's closer to the rapist's intellect than to God's.

I found a link and thought of your post here: https://www.livestrong.com/article/315538-how-can-glycogen-be-replenished-on-a-low-carb-diet/

Of course he doesn't. But two wrongs don't make a right either.

But this is my challenge: What is the consistency? In order to be consistent I have to be consistently something, but what is it? I'm losing weight and I'm gaining strength. I can easily do one or the other by consistently doing the things I know work, to do either one. But what about doing...

Nobody has the right to receive Holy Communion. Catholics do have lots of rights, but receiving Communion isn't one of them. In fact by contrast, the ministerial priesthood has the duty to warn people to not receive the Eucharist when they are in jeopardy of becoming "guilty of the body and...
