Sorry, I just realized I sounded like a smartass there. :( Good point. Thing is, if there were a great flood, it would've taken place long before man developed a script, which means the memory of it would've been carried on in oral tradition. Then, when script came into common usage, it...

Um, you're joking right? Cultures all around the world have flood myths. In the Hindu text, the Satpatha Brahmana, a king named Manu is saved from a world flood by a fish (Manu builds a big boat to survive - sound familiar, anyone?). In Aztec mythology, the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue was said to...

You're ignoring the fact the Catholicism remains strong in South America, and is growing in places like Africa and Asia, where the people want conservative traditions. America and Europe ain't the only two places in the world, y'know. ;)

LOL!

Hey, flowers are great! There's nothing unmanly about stopping to pick dandelions! And hot baths are the best, especially when you pour scented massage oil into 'em. Speaking of which, I need to go get some more massage oil...

Ancient India would be fascinating. So would Ancient Mesopotamia. I'd also like to see America during her frontier days. I suppose the only history I would never want to visit would be 1300's European - the Black Plague would just be too horrible to witness.

It would be unwise to make a debating forum too rigid in its rules - might scare people off.

"Make Love Not War." Only hippies in faded blue jeans and multi-colored t-shirts say this. And hippies aren't cool. Unless they have tulips. "Talk to the Hand, Cause the Face Don't Wanna Hear It." Yeah, I know it's old, and out of fashion - let's just pray it stays that way.:)...

Great ideas, everyone! But maybe, instead of a time limit, there could be a limit to the possible number of posts for each participant (five for one, and five for the other, perhaps?). That way, people don't have to read through five pages of one paragraph long arguments/counter-arguments...

Yeah, those soap commercials are serious heart-wrenchers. Um, male. Wait, lemme check... Yeah, male.

Indeed, one could say "peer pressure" caused Peter to deny Christ (although, that does seem to diminish what he went through.) But Peter realized what he had done after he had done it, and sought redemption. I suppose that's the way it is with so many of us; we do things - little things - that...

Peter, definitely. He denied Christ three times, and yet Christ forgave him, and his love for him didn't diminish even the slightest. Yeah, I can relate...

Yeah, back when I lived in Kentucky - 'cept I was never clever enough to use bait. :(

Both my mom and my dad have "experienced" ghosts...Each time, the spirit of the departed either revealed some secret, or served as an "omen" of sorts. Having said that, I don't believe in hauntings. I believe a spirit can give a message, but I don't believe ghosts dwell in this realm for...

I don't really have a moral problem with masturbation...I just think it's kinda icky. :p And I'm not sure there's really any Scripture on masturbation, so I think it is up to the individual whether he/she wants to do that. I can only imagine what would happen if a Catholic priest...

Without the capacity to do evil, being "good" is meaningless. If you couldn't do wrong, only right, you are merely acting by your nature, and so what you are doing isn't really "right", as doing what is right requires right intention, and not right behavior. Right? ;) The same seems true...

That avatar is really relaxing...reminds me of silk bedsheets for some reason :p

My parents drive a PT Cruiser with wooden doors. Its so ugly its cute...:D My car is in the States. It's a black Cavalier I plan on keeping till I'm an old geezer (yeah, I'm a cheapskate).

Coke. About a can (sometimes two or three) an hour. I just can't stop drinking it...I think I'm addicted. :(

Perhaps you could start a new thread in the Lounge, if you'd care to share some poetry...
