  1. The modern concept of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise originated in Dante's Divine Comedy, in the 14th century. So, there's that.
  2. I apologize for my feeble attempt at humor. See, if you look at it one way, it looks like God and if you look at it *another*way, it looks like Dog. Soooo..it all depends on how you look at it. (I knew I shouldn't have quit my day-job.)

    Saturday Night

    How's about some Saturday Night Blues?
  5. Or a Dogly person. It all depends on how you look at it.
  6. Humans have a natural, built-in sense of morality. It's thought that this innate sense of morality may have been responsible for mankind's continued ability to survive as a whole. (Greater good vs individual needs) Source: Origin and Development of Moral Sense: A Systematic Review - PMC
  7. Would it be fair to say ""The objective standard for morality is, in and of itself, subjective." ?
  8. When I get to heaven, gonna have me a cocktail, vodka and ginger ale. Gonna smoke a cigarette that's 9 miles long. Gonna kiss that pretty girl, on the Tilt-A-Whirl, 'cuz this old man is goin' to town..
  9. And for the non-believer, it's difficult to believe there is no karma. But here's the thing. If you make a habit out of blowing through red lights on a regular basis, there's a pretty good chance you're going to get T-boned someday. It's not karma, it's just the laws of statistics catching up with you. It's not a punishment from God. It's not a tit for a tat or an eye for an elbow. It's just a way to cope with the sometimes harsh realities of this world.
  10. I'd love to see a handling of II Peter 1:20. (Irony is my middle name.)
  11. Thanks. I just put that on my list of re-reads.
  12. Simple. Write: The Teacher Box 666 New Knockabout, Ohio
  13. And then there was the one who didn't. edit: Different situation, but dealt with in the same manner.
  14. Not even close to what was "taught" in Christian Family and Sex. *Just spit in your hand*
  15. Back in the U.S.S.R. There is a town in North Ontario with dream comfort memory to spare.
  16. Thumbs up for a perfect segue. (I'm gonna pass, though. I've been hogging them lately.)
