Step 2: Employ slippery slope fallacy Step 3: Do the non-sequitur/straw man two-step. If inerrancy is the lynchpin of your faith, you will be joining me in the ranks of unbelievers very soon. A reasonable person can only deny the obvious for so long. Regardless, there are a great, great many Christians who recognize that Biblical inerrancy is incompatible with the truth. The book has a LOT of errors and contradictions. It does not follow that recognizing the existence of actual errors and blatant contradictions will turn you into an atheist. But the cognitive dissonance that comes with dodging, denying, and never admitting an error is an error eventually gets to you. How much easier is it to say that different people telling a story passed down for decades transposed some of the details than to try to make those errors fit into one cohesive narrative that not a single writer managed to tell? Inerrancy is the atheist's best friend, I assure you. It should be noted that "the scripture cannot be broken" in John 10:35 does not refer to the New Testament or the gospels, as (assuming Jesus actually said it) Jesus said it decades before any of the N.T. was written. So we KNOW Jesus wasn't talking about inerrancy in the gospels.

We celebrate, but that celebration is tempered by the knowledge that 17 lost their lives. We did what we do, and we did it well. After the announcement I called the dad of one of the victims. He congratulated us and told us to celebrate, but also to get right back to work. It's not over. #RememberThe17

This social security issue was discussed on this thread: Rosalie's Retirement Plan Yeah......wierwille / twi was in accordance with the law, BUT.....they used every opportunity and advantage (they had us sign waivers) to screw us in the long run. Thanks wierwille............PPPFFFFTTT.

Congrats, Raf. That's my paper, and I've been seeing your bylines for years now. Your beat takes you into some nasty arenas, and I enjoy reading about it, and not being in it. I find the Sun-Sentinel to be an outstanding paper. You guys and gals deserve this, and Wowee Zowee, The Most Pestigious Pulitzer given. Well done, my man! Cheers!

And the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Public Service Reporting goes to the staff of the South Florida Sun Sentinel!!! That's us. Which includes me. But US!!!!

Oh please. I'm thinking of a number between one and infinity. If you are connected to an omniscient God, tell me the number. Every single religion has a variation of "believe and you will see." You haven't addressed facts. You haven't refuted or contested the findings of educated professionals. All you have done is placed non evidence on the same plane as educated analyses of factual material. Seeing that your non evidence is inadequate, you declare it spiritual and claim that it's an Insight from the Almighty. Muhammad could do that. Joseph Smith could do that. Victor Paul wierwille could do that. Any idiot could do that. But there's no evidence to support it.
