It's pretty clear that we have very different views about religion in terms of its essential nature and how it should be portrayed. If you teach religion in that manner, in a formalized setting where all that is focused upon are base and segmented concepts, you're not going to be teaching...

I'm not going to dissect your argument piece-by-piece because it's really disorientating to discuss matters in that format. So I'll just give you a general response. You can continue to dissect my arguments all you want, but it should really be taken as a general notion rather than some linear...

American? Korean? Polish? I don't discriminate. :)

I feel sorry for the kid who looks at Spongebob as his role model rather than the older sibling/mother/father/uncle/etc.... :/ But it is understandable from the parent's point of view of wanting to shield the innocent kid from violence on the tube. And there is a rational connection to this...

They work you pretty hard. Well it depends on what branch you're going into, but the biggest thing to worry about is not your physical fitness but your mental resilience. Even if you fail the phys requirement, you'll just get pushed back into a lower class and pretty much have an extended boot...

^^ You see, the problem with saying mathematics is "invented" is really dependent on how you view mathematics itself. Now I've taken mathematics past advanced calculus @ university level, so I can tell you that upper-level mathematics looks nothing like arithmetic, algebra, or calculus that's...

Math is like religion? What? The historical aspect of mathematics isn't relevant to mathematics because it works on principles of logic and premises that exist today even if they were conjured thousands of years ago. For religion, history is very important. I mean the Bible is itself (well at...

Thread is too long. Did not read. Just throwing in my two cents into the fray, because I think I'm awesome like that. :) First off, I'm assuming that this is with regard to public schools in the United States (or other Western democratic liberal rights-based society with a clear schism...

Well, it'd be nice if OP could start the conversation by letting us know how he feels about the topic. As for Christianity, despite the Trinity being quasi-distinct gods, in actuality they're supposed to all be of the exact same God. Jesus is the Son of God, yet he is God as well. I remember...

^^ ??? I heard the owl died? Unless there was another soccer player who flipped an owl off the field? But really, I doubt the guy was actually trying to harm the animal rather than flip it off the field. I played a bit of soccer in highschool and that hardly looks like a real kick, more like a...

That sounds like a friend to me. For me, I need the zsa zsa zsu for a real ltr. Without the zsa zsa zsu, it's nothing more than being friends or having casual sex. But I've got to be careful as a guy since a lot of my zsa zsa zsu intially come from physical attraction. But I've learned that if...

Did I already post in here? Who knows, but I feel obligated due to my name. I drink about a cup a day that usually starts when I take my first morning class. I picked it up back a couple of years ago during a summer internship I had. We had this departmental meeting that lasted about an hour...

"Fat kid laws." Whoever coined that term was pretty insensitive, but it's a bit funny anyhow. Never really heard much about it, but i'll give a couple of comments anyhow. 1) This law probably isn't aimed at the kids NOW but attacking a problem that such kids create when they become adults in...

The base price before retail is lower than the price given by Walmart. But the problem is that these goods are not readily accessible to the average consumer. Most distributors are limited in types of products, bundle size, location, etc... Thus comes retailers like Walmart, Target, and what not...

This game is pretty awesome. I'll be honest and say that I'm pretty sure I missed out on like half the themes, symbols, whatever that the developers threw in this game, and I could simply tell that there were huge ideas that the designers were throwing around that I was just missing during my...

Dunno. At least Walmart provides goods to everyone, unlike other types of companies that essentially use the labor of low-income individuals to produce products that only mid/high-income individuals purchase. This way the people that are harmed are at least compensated through the reduced prices...

Well, from a purely definitional standpoint there's a clear line between the two. Realists look at things objectively while pessimists have a bit of a negative bias. However, as a practical matter it's very difficult to actual label someone as a pessimist or realist because to be able to...

@ Terra Damn...you are really going all out on this aren't you. I still disagree, but I'm not as committed as you on this point of the game to expend much more effort on this really. Verdict on the issue: You win, Aerith is Christian. Now stop dissecting my messages line by line. I'm...

No one thought it was Wakka? But on a more serious note, despite the plot revolving around Yuna's pilgrimage, Tidus had greater character development from beginning to end. You could really view it in a way as Tidus having his own pilgrimage to conquer his own past with his father (this is...

^^ :/ Isn't it great when the ambiguity of religion has an answer/interpretation for everything into anything. If you just take a step back and look at "Cetra belief" vs. "Christian belief," the two are as opposed as Islam and Christianity, yet you claim they could coexist by pulling minute bits...
