Matt commented on Rudy Ruddell's blog post 'Atheism vs. Communism'

Say it's 1937, and as a citizen of the USSR you live without daring to question this message: "Stalin has undertaken great responsibilities of our world. He protects us from our enemies, and sees the shining possibilities of our futures…

So I Googled them up: they've been active since 1984, but didn't release any Contemporary Christian material until last year. Perhaps they were Saved, (or at least hoped their stalling career would be)

Matt replied to Jezzy's discussion 'Emotions vs. Logic'

It need not be a "vs" situation; it can be win/win for both logic and emotional well-being. An analogy is one's life as an airline, with the emotions being the passengers. They're the reason we're in business, and they tell…

I have a friend who named her son River. Mountain and River should be neighbors!

The Nerd commented on Matt's blog post '"Oh, you're just trying to be different."'

My mom said that to me when I named my son Mountain, as if that were a bad thing.

Matt replied to Edward Teach's discussion 'Are there more "good" people or more "bad" people?' in the group Atheist Morality

Prefer to think "bad" is like "cold," which itself doesn't exst, but is just the absence of heat. (plus, I just got so tired of "evil" being discussed after 9/11)

The driver is a Playdough Fun Factory enthusiast (and who in their right mind isn't?)

Matt replied to James M. Martin's discussion 'The End of Roman Catholicism?'

Did kids stop wanting to be quarterbacks in 1985 when they could hear the crack of Joe Theismann's leg being broken? You know, of course, it was even worse during the Borgia papacy, when the Vatican practiced massive graft and hosted…

Matt replied to HotMess's discussion 'Sleep Aids, Anyone?' in the group Are You Experienced? Ages 40 and Over

Sounds like it may be a sleep-wake cycle disorder. Before you try to treat it with simple drug therapy from a general practictioner, (if your insurance will cover it) maybe you could be tested at a sleep disorder clinic.

By now, most everyone who spends time online has seen the viral video of the confrontation between the mentally ill man and the younger black man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQJFv9SMSMQ ...prompting tens of thousands of opnions to be strewn into the ether, reminiscent of when the young woman threatened an elderly woman on Atlanta mass transit:…See More

Profile Information

About Me: "Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter light, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light."
Plato's Republic

I do believe we posess the capabilites for both our salvation and our destruction, as individuals, a society, and a species. I believe these capabilites are practiced in tandem, most often blindly.

"Oh, you're just trying to be different."

Posted on March 25, 2010 at 7:50pm 7 Comments 0 Likes

Don't expect me to believe you don't believe in God like the rest of us. You just have some need to be different.

I've known you all your life. You were never as athletic or as smart or as popular as the other kids, so instead of finding something to do where you'd be as good as them, you had to go looking for some way to be better than them, something that they never heard of and didn't care about. This "atheism" thing is just your way of resolving your inferiority…
