I really like Video Game Dunkey. I can't stand stuff like Pewdiepie and things like that, but every video Video Game Dunkey puts out makes me crack up laughing. I especially like it when what's happening on the screen even makes him start laughing. You can tell he really enjoys putting out his videos.

I was adopted at birth. I know a lot of adopted people consider their parents to be the ones who gave birth to them and those who adopted them to not be their parents. Since I was adopted at birth those who brought me home from the hospital may not have given birth to me but they clothed me, fed me, bathed me, and loved me. To me they are my parents and the people who contributed to my birth are strangers.

I also know that I am not unique in that regard either. All well.

Oh, I may have misread your post. My apologies. I though you said you are the only person in the world who wasn't born to the people you consider your parents. I now understand your joke. Woosh

Both settings are hot, but California offers greater interaction with water.

That's a bit ironic. Maybe this show won't slow down to a crawl. I might actually enjoy it since The Walking Dead lost me after they just wasted too much time doing nothing but looking scared and hiding episode after episode. To the show's credit though I haven't watched in a while, so maybe they picked the pace up a bit.

Oh, my apologies. It seems that I have gone on a tangent. To redeem myself I'll try and bring this back on topic. I'll say that I do feel that religious freedom arguments aren't founded in the Bible. I haven't seen one yet that seems to be supported by scripture. My religious rights end when they start taking away the freedoms that others enjoy.

I don't understand how you took that out of that quote. He is simply setting up his argument that God can indeed exist in a world filled with evil. He is stating that saying, "Well innocent people are killed by other people = this is murder = murder is evil = evil exists = God is not evil = so God doesn't exist." is not an appropriate way to disprove the existence of God. Just because evil does exist doesn't mean God cannot. Maybe I'm not taking your argument far enough, but I'm having a hard time seeing that.

How do you feel about William Lane Craig's response on this?

I was just making a comment on how things tend to be misrepresented. I actually feel like Christians have only ourselves to blame. We tend to do a fantastic job misrepresenting what we mean. I can do my part by offering up examples as to why scripture says some of the things odd things it says.

Also, I really enjoyed that article you linked to. I have never heard of same sex unions in church history before.

I was adopted at birth, so there's at least two of us!

I had a pretty rough week, but this too shall pass. No matter how bad it gets that's always good news to me.

I was under the impression that a system very similar to what you are describing was already in place. When you down vote you are asked for a reason why you down voted that is displayed to the poster so they knew why they were being down voted.

I thought I read that somewhere. I could be mistaken though.

This is exactly how I feel. I have a friend who keeps talking about how he and some of his Reddit buddies are moving to Voat. The problem, in my opinion, is that Voat isn't different enough to not have the same problems while Snapzu has some systems in place to help combat those issues.

When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die.

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

While I know not everyone is religious I feel that this quote by Bonhoeffer does a good job explaining the problem with the church in America. The Bible makes it quite clear that if you want to be a disciple of Christ then you must stop thinking of yourself and start serving your fellow man, no matter who that may be.

Religious right is the most pervasive and dangerous oxymoron in America.

To leave the world better than you found it. Even if it's a very meager improvement.
