Isn't there?So a clever GOP Senator demands that every word be spoken of the 600 plus page bill.He has the right to do that apparently. Shows muscles and power and strength and purpose and cajones. Everything a GOP Senator needs to prove.Stay tuned. It will occur every time from now on. GOD FORBID that the bills get through as soon as possible. Make 'em last long. Like an EVERLASTING GOBSTOPPER! Why not? What could it hurt?

Many "THOU SHALL" and even more "THOU SHALL NOT".Can't stand to have to figure out anything within themselves without a book of rules or guidelines or TALKING POINTS. Have to be told what is "legal" and what is not. Then go about illegaling to the hilt. Weird. Have to be told what they can and cannot do and follow through. FREEDOM is what they rail about and rant about and yet they fear it so much they couldn't live that way.NO scripted replies or thinking? Seriously? They'd all have nervous breakdowns or commit suicide. If they didn't have creeds and beliefs written in stone to guide them they'd be nothings I guess.The human condition. Fences. Bars. Walls. Open land? Hahahahahahahahahaha. No. Shut it down. Close it off. KEEP OUT. KEEP OFF. TRESPASSERS SHALL BE PROSECUTED.Freedom my a**. They can't handle it! less

Is the CHRISTIAN GOD isolated to the EARTH and heavens surrounding it?Does each thing like a sun or moon or planet HAVE ITS OWN GOD?Why not "In the beginning GOD created the UNIVERSE?

The Fermies cause earthquakes by gathering together in massive numbers and lifting up pieces of the earth's crust.Somehow Disney got involved as did Scrooge McDuck or so I read. Now except for the Mugger who told me about Terries and Firmies (you know who you are) did any of YOU know that? I didn't have a clue. less

An extreme of course but then what isn't when we are comparing apples and zebras?They will insurrect and vile and pillage and rape and crush and smash and destroy and be excited and exhilarated by all the carnage which they will celebrate."See ma no hands"Showing off for "the other" whomever that be.

It was not a GOD-based exclusion. It was a man-made exclusion.I am not a limited-thinking person. GOD gave me this brain to use and I do. It isn't I/me who created it. I was born with it. To question what makes no sense which I do. GOD has not shown me in any way that HE is displeased with me for being what I am. How could he? HE created me. What's YOUR story? less
"I'm really pissed off that I got outed but yes I did it! I said it! So what?"Isn't that what they think/how they feel?HONESTY for once? Geez what a novel concept that is.

Since GOD is omnipresent omnipotent and omnicient doesn't that mean HE ALWAYS WAS and NEVER WASN'T? HE predated the bible did HE not or is everything absent and then magically there 4004B.C.?Is GOD limited to the timeframe of the bible? Is that all HE is? What is stated therein written by dozens of different men over many decades?Seriously?So nothing existed before the bible including GOD. I find that impossible to believe. You? less

Archaeologists date things back hundreds of thousands of years.The Bible, King James Version, has creation set about 4004 B.C.You can see the problem here. Reconciliation between the two is impossible to do.The religious community poohpoohs everything. If it's not in the Bible it isn't true. Funny. Many of them say the same thing about FOOTOO. If he says it it's true. If he doesn't it isn't. But I digress.That is why Science is mocked and rejected by so many Christians. Only the Bible and nothing else will show you the way. Now that is true for Christians. What about those with other beliefs including not believing in any supreme being?Who is right? Who isn't? A dichotomy to be resolved? How? less
I think there are some or maybe many people like that. Living a lie to get by. Living a lie to belong. Living a lie so they won't have to travel the path of life alone.How healthy is that?

I don't know. I'm not a genius or an inventor and not suffering as I think he did. I cannot really relate to him. But I am in awe of him.The first time anyone ever told me about Tesla? My first husband was an electrician. That was in 1958. He told me that Tesla was the REAL genius not Edison. At the time it had no meaning for me. It does now. Odd what we remember. less

The lifetime of Leonardo da VinciHe was, and I quoteA polymath painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathemetician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, writer.

Nothing stretches or expands. It is what it is because it is. That's it. Sigh. less

I not only had never heard his voice, I didn’t even know who he was, and furthermore, I had never even seen ESPN at all. At that time, I did not look into it any further to listen to him speak so that I could evaluate the comparison for myself. Not long after that, my interest in the topic waned and I soon forgot all about it.
Fast forward to today. Posting this question occurred to me, and as I was typing it, I remembered that I had such a story to tell. I checked online for ESPN broadcasts that featured Fred Hickman (it turns out he’s moved around to various networks), I listened to him and my opinion as to whether or not . . . you know, I think I’ll reserve announcing my impression for now. If any of you are already familiar with Hickman&rsqu... less
