    You enjoy a user's posts...you add them as a contact; then betray you with a quip that you don't get?

    What next? Edit; The "Betrayal" is that they found you witty/interesting and then lost you with something over your head....thus making you question your own intellect/level of humor and immediately go into defensive mode "questioning your decision" Hey man.. it was a simple R&S troll til...

    Just a polite question; Is the juxtaposition of "just a polite question" to a rant validation of it?

    (((RazzmaTaz))) Brilliant!... It took me a 1/2 hr to fit all that sarcasm into one legitimately unreportable Q. :-) ((Jupe)) It's highly unlikely your head could be bigger than mine.. "Happy Holidays" Back at ya' Raz.... I was going to send you an e-mail or add you as a contact, but you're...

    Do bad (law) things happen to good (grace) people, or only to people who mingle...

    Law is not evil. Aquinas describes law as "a certain rule and measure of acts whereby man is induced to act or is restrained from acting." (q90, a1) Because the rule and measure of human actions is reason, law has an essential relation to reason; in the first place to divine reason; in the...

    Christmas Cards; Love em? hate em? Your rants appreciated..?

    I'm cutting back this year (like every year). Because my wife says "You have the better penmanship", guess who has done them 25 of the last 26 years? I think there is no greater a test of my "Christmas spirit" If such a thing exists. Even if you only see it as a "spirit of consumerism"...

    Virtue = moral excellence; goodness; righteousness, When discussing morality...

    ...how do you perceive..? terms such as virtue, righteousness and goodness. Do they imply that good conduct and upright behavior exist unto themselves as tangible realities that can be sought after as toward a perfect moral goal? If not, how do you perceive these terms Your on topic...

    How can one argue moral objectivism without a guiding force other than man?

    Simply put, If it's objective, how can it be subjective? Moral relativists need not reply to this question unless they wish to present the best arguments that an atheist who is not a moral relativist might present. Peace; DD My last day for 40 *not including Sundays ;0) (( I will miss...

    Is morality proof for the existence of our external environment OR proof for the...

    Not to a relativist, but for a moral objectivist, morality is a definite sign that a God may exist. Basically individuals come from one of two camps of thought regarding moral acts. The first camp Moral Relativists, consider all morals to be relative. They assert that morals are merely human...

    am I the only one who thinks certain history channel shows are christian bias?

    It's funny you should write this comment. I myself find the history channel bias as well but skewed to the other perspective. Programs that present the hypotheses of the development of the early world as fact or prehistory as history are frequently aired without so much as a closing caveat in...

    Can anyone recommend a good book about the history of religion?

    Karen Armstrong's "The History of God" It is really an examination of the origins of the Abrahamic faiths. I found it quite interesting and some may be surprised that I remain a Catholic in light of it.

    what is your own image of heaven?

    IMO; It looks just like the Augusta National GC. No waiting on the tee boxes. The Trinity makes up the remainer of your foursome and everyone shoots Par or better.
