  1. Would it be fair to say ""The objective standard for morality is, in and of itself, subjective." ?
  2. 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..
  3. 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.
  4. I'd love to see a handling of II Peter 1:20. (Irony is my middle name.)
  5. Thanks. I just put that on my list of re-reads.
  6. Simple. Write: The Teacher Box 666 New Knockabout, Ohio
  7. And then there was the one who didn't. edit: Different situation, but dealt with in the same manner.
  8. Not even close to what was "taught" in Christian Family and Sex. *Just spit in your hand*
  9. Back in the U.S.S.R. There is a town in North Ontario with dream comfort memory to spare.
  10. Thumbs up for a perfect segue. (I'm gonna pass, though. I've been hogging them lately.)
  11. Prominent? Perhaps. Often not reliable, though.
  12. I was in a serious multi-vehicle accident a while back. I can remember where I was going, what the weather was like, the approximate time it happened and other general information. When you get to more specific details, like make, model, color of the other vehicles, what the other parties looked like, I draw a blank. I only know fine details from reading the accident report. So, excuse me for being skeptical when people offer up minute details. The only thing I remember clearly is looking up at someone asking if I have a DNR. Yeah, that detail sticks with me.
  13. The challenging counterfeit : Gasson, Raphael : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
  14. Could it be Challenging Counterfeit or Angels Of Light? My copies, if I still have them, are probably buried in a box that's still waiting to be unpacked from my last move. Let's just say that finding them is not exactly high on my list of priorities at the moment. Yes, the mind is a terrible thing to lose. The same cannot be said of books filled with bullshonta.
  15. I'm fuzzy on the specifics. We discussed this in detail here 10 or 12 years ago. Most of this sort of thing came from Stiles or Leonard or maybe both. The definitions VPW used in the Advanced Class were lifted almost word-for-word from one of them. I think it may have been Stiles. Anyhow, it's all archived here somewhere. I'm not personally very skilled at locating old discussions. But, yeah, it's all here if you're motivated enough to look for it. At the moment, I'm more motivated to catch another episode of Heavenly Ever After on Netflix.
  16. Just be glad you didn't see it in the original.
  17. I have a first hand recollection of him teaching that masturbation was the original sin. That's not an event you casually forget.
