Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Maggs Science's discussion Why haven't guns been outlawed yet?"You don't get it do you.
Yes, it's illegal to kill someone. But if you make one of the easiest means to do it widely legally available, you are going to have a lot more deaths."

You can have a false slippery slope, but that isn't the same thing as the entire nature of slippery slopes being wrong."
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Maggs Science's discussion Why haven't guns been outlawed yet?"The idea of "gun control" to me is just downright ridiculous. of course i agree that there should be more thorough background checks for the people who are in the process of buying a gun, but that isn't necessarily going to end all of…"

Given that taxes and minimum wage controls people's every day circumstance, it is reasonable for politicians to use them as part of a national electoral platform."

The DFTBA writing contest quest begins!

Rem said… I never got a chance to respond to your post on the, "Hell, Heaven, and Kingdom of Lord," thread. However, I googled the page and retrieved what was written before the page was deleted. Would you be open to continuing the discussion, or would you rather drop the issue? For your convenience, here is the page in question.

Myxinoidea said… I was also just paging through some of your posts and I wanted to thank you. I am a scientist and a christian which usually leaves me feeling like I have to defend myself to someone. Reading your comments made me feel uplifted and encouraged. Thank you so much for that!

Whitney (Psyduck) *BiscuitSenior said… Hi, I just thought I'd pop in and say hello and also that I have read up quite a lot on everything you and others have been discussing on Christianity and I wanted to just let you know how uplifting it is to see someone so passionate for The Lord and who has such a desire to share the truth.
God bless you.
