Also, coming from a bit of…"

Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Josh Braun's discussion Why are knives still legal? A call to ban all knives."Because the argument is lost. Knives are outlawed. No one has ever claimed that eliminating guns would eliminate all gun crime, merely that it would dramatically reduce it."
coppearlix replied to Vertigo_One [Ops Mod]'s discussion Racisim, Tumblr, and "White Tears""I think what you're saying is reasonable. White people should not be pigeonholed, just as people of African, Asian, Native American or any other descent should not be pigeonholed--and if people want to state something about whites for…"

Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Maggs Science's discussion Why haven't guns been outlawed yet?"As I said, either way, it still isn't terribly limiting, as we're all members of a militia, except for the very young and very old.
Except the amendment clearly states "well regulated". That isn't a prefix, it's part of…"

I found this in less than 30 seconds of googling. Seriously."
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Easton Camp's discussion Why does Science and Theology have to be polar opposites?"Logic is merely an interpretation of observable stimuli.
No, its not. The rules of logic would still be true even if there were no humans to observe them."
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Easton Camp's discussion Why does Science and Theology have to be polar opposites?"Yes, but the point Hume made was that it is limited to understanding of the physical world. The fact that it is the only tool to understand the physical world does not then logically lead to the conclusion that the physical world is all that there…"

The DFTBA writing contest quest begins!
So, we've had the P4A just go by about two weeks ago now, but the way I see it, that can't be the only regular charitable event that Nerdfigteria participates in. Although we have our on-going contributions to Kiva.org and may other awesome projects, I feel like its time we combined two things that Nerdfighteria is exceptionally passionate about.
Namely Writing and Charity
So I present to you the…

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.
