• New Hi-Res Photo Appears to Show Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Fleeing the Scene

  I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am really not. But why would Chechnyans attack us out of the blue? Who benefits from that? I would say Putin does given they have been a burr in his saddle for a long time.

• Singer Cancels ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Performance After Finding Out the ‘Animal Serial Killers’ of ‘Duck Dynasty’ Would Be There

  Ok. I’ll admin it. I like The Smiths. Morrissey is a whiner though. Johnny Marr ended up not being able to stand him either.

• Ohio Sheriff in ‘Smart Meter’ Story That Led to One Woman’s Power Being Cut Tells Us His Side: It Could Have Ended Differently

  February 22, 2013 at 11:40am

  A few years ago, I was in a focus group that concerned smart meters. One of the questions the guy asked us was “How would you feel if your air conditioner was turned off on a hot day during a brown out”. The very eclectic group responded with one voice of outrage.

  But my point is this. Smart meters are about the power company controlling when and how much power you use. As was indicated in the question to our group, the power company could turn off your AC and there would be nothing you could do about it.

• War on Kwanzaa! Wisc. Sen. Blasts ‘Racist’ ‘Hardcore Left-Winger’ Holiday

  In reply to Superanyu.

  From the Declaration of Independence:

  We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

  Here is an abstract from a Heritage Foundation article that I think is helpful:

  Did America have a Christian Founding? This disputed question, far from being only of historical interest, has important implications for how we conceive of the role of religion in the American republic. Mark David Hall begins by considering two popular answers to the query—“Of course not!” and “Absolutely!”—both of which distort the Founders’ views. After showing that Christian ideas were one of the important intellectual influences on the Founders, he discusses three major areas of agreement with respect to religious liberty and church–state relations at the time of the Founding: Religious liberty is a right and must be protected; the national government should not create an established church, and states should have them only if they encourage and assist Christianity; and religion belongs in the public square. In short, while America did not have a Christian Founding in the sense of creating a theocracy, its Founding was deeply shaped by Christian moral truths. More important, it created a regime that was hospitable to Christians, but also to practitioners of other religions.

• NJ School District May Ban Substitute Teacher for Giving a Bible to a Student

  In reply to athiest-infedel.

  We are the ones who turned from God. God has not abandoned the world. On the contrary, he died to save the world. You point out a bunch of bad stuff as evidence that God has turned away. But the bad stuff you point out is evidence of the seriousness of sin and rebellion against God and the need for redemption, which is exactly what the Bible describes. There is a need and God meets the need through Jesus Christ. That is the message of the Bible.

• Can You Spot The Typo in this U.N. Tweet That Has Palestinians Furious?

  November 29, 2012 at 4:19pm

  I thought the Palestinians would applaud. The rank and file and Hamas are calling for a one state solution where Palestine replaces Israel and Israel ceases to exist. That is why many are upset with Abbas because he is proposing that Gaza, the West Bank and 1/2 of Jerusalem as the Palestinian state. At least in Gaza, they want it all.

• Ridiculously Accurate ‘Futurist’ Shares His Bold Prediction on The Glenn Beck Program

  Trollmonger wrote: What created your god? It cant just pop out of nothingness. Thats why I dont believe in the big bang theory either. Something cannot manifest from nothing

  You actually raise a very good point. Something cannot come from nothing. If at anytime in the past, there was nothing then there would still be nothing. Therefore, since we know there is something now, something must be eternal, having no beginning.

  The two most common candidates are God and matter. The materialists of the late 19th century went with matter. Einstein messed them up with his theories and the materialist view fell out of favor in the middle part of the 20th century. You say you reject the big bang so I commend you for your consistency.

• Ridiculously Accurate ‘Futurist’ Shares His Bold Prediction on The Glenn Beck Program

  Trollmonger wrote:I cant prove that. Thats why Im agnostic. But as a believer you are required to prove existence of your god. If you cant then you are a liar or just naive!!!!

  Actually, no where in the Bible are Christians commanded to prove the existence of God to anyone. God calls Christians to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others and that’s it. The rest is accomplished by God through revelation. Me trying to convince you is not necessary and the Bible says that it actually weakens the power of the Gospel to try and win people over with fancy arguments.

  Now, I am not saying you have to believe that although it is true. I am simply trying to help you understand why no one is taking you up on your offer to prove to you that God exists. You might describe my answer as some sort of cop out but 2 billion people who have experienced what I describe themselves would disagree.

  I really do hope that helps.
