I'm happy suicide rates fell... but the article has some very strange arguments. For example: 'That we found such a big effect and that it meshed with a range of other data was just shocking, completely unexpected.'' Ok. They found it shocking that when they drastically limited the # of firearms ava...

Thanks Shotgun. Great points.

I hadn't thought about logic as by our experience... but so very true.

O, I know this isn't what you are looking for... but each of the 3 laws of logic are exhibited in the one statement from Exodus 3:14, "I am who I am". "I am" - a statements of identity God is making a statement of himself. If this were a mathematical statement God would say "...

I am a bit frustrated in finding something clear for the third law. I have Matt 12:30, and of course Luke 11:23, which for me demonstrate there is no "middle ground" when it comes to following Jesus, but doesn't quite rise to the level of describing the excluded middle as God's nature, or...

Please understand that this topic is very serious... at the same time I'm going to break my standard rule of avoiding humor on forums and try to present the case in a humorous, though true, perspective. As MG just said, true Biblical "home schooling" begins at birth and continues through o...

Actually Ray, Kansas has very liberal Home Education laws. The Kansas law states that (1) yes it's the parents right to educate their own children (2) it does not specifically state people can home school, but (3) anyone can set up a private school and (3a) there is legally no oversight board to say...

Val, Although I'm personally a fan of flat tax, what is your response to the objection that it harms the poor? You propose a 10% tax as a flat tax. That isn't a flat tax. Sure, it's a single percentage rate, but it's still a graduated tax. A flat tax is where everyone is paying the same $ amount. So...

"Jesus National Park"
oddly...

I like the sound of that.

All of which are abusive statements.

So was I making a baseless accusation about you? Nope.

LDEight, I laughed when I read your blog post. It was hilarious. When I read the post here I didn't get what you were talking about... but when I saw the shirt it all clicked. Yes, homeschooling has proven to be a much better form of education. The average home schooled child scores 37% higher on st...

Drey,

I seemed to have missed this post originally.

I agree with your comments.
