Grab life by the boo boo man. I will miss your missives. I even stole Dusty Balzac for a character name in our D&D campaign (we can discuss royalties later). When the other gnome names himself Noam Chomsky, it was really the only reasonable choice on my part. Seriously best of luck, seems lots of us...

Have to say, I've done more damage to my arteries at Wendy's than McDonald's in the past decade or so. Still go for a Sausage McGriddle about thrice a month when I'm running late, but not too late.

Ah, I see it does say "why do so many Christians like" him further down. To that I'd say, entrenched thinking. Seems like a lot of the conservative Evangelical set like him, but I'm not sure how closely they tie that to religion. Most people I talk to that like him, cited economic reasons.

Crazy Anglican

argue that Christians don't like him. I'm a Christian; and I don't like him. So maybe a better title would be "Why do so many Christians..." I don't think he fits the bill of anti-christ any more than your typical rich sociopath. 3rd world dictator wanabee? Sure. Antichrist? Hmm. He doesn't seem to...

Now wait a minute, you're supposing there is no use for psychopaths....

I happen to know there are guys chained in basements in Alabama with signs on the door reading "Only open in times of war".

Crazy Anglican

Aaaannnnndddd.... That wasn't your argument at all was it. I have gone back and read the entire thread to find that one post in which you said something quite similar to what I alluded, and it's not there. So, I am guilty of creating a strawman that you are in no way obligated to respond to it. That...

So it's ok that thousands of infants die of preventable diseases every day, because they can receive Christ after they die, and go to heaven. If that's the case, what is the point of them, or anyone, being born into the physical world, if their lives will be short and painful and that part doesn't ...

Both A1 and B1 boil down to " God has some masterful plan we don't understand, stop questioning him, mortal ". Excuse me if I don't find that at all satisfactory. I would agree with you if that was remotely close to what I said. I merely gave two possible scenarios that would render the first argum...

I didn't say I wanted to "reconcile suffering out of existence".

I'd like to reconcile suffering out of existence. I think that's the whole point of trying to get to Heaven and bring as many along as I can.

Anyway, Wedding number two of the month this weekend. This time my daughter's. Quite the fun ceremony, we booked rooms at the lodge at a State Park with beautiful fall foliage views. They had booked the amphitheater at the top of the waterfall, which unbeknownst to us did not include any actual sign...

Crazy Anglican

The discussion of suffering has taken some weird and in my opinion unnecessary turns. It seems to me that the initial challenge was that an all-powerful, omniscient, all-loving God cannot have created a world in which suffering is present. Since A) if He is unable to create a world in which there is...

I am once again reading "The Giver" by Lois Lowery with my classes. In the book they do a good job of ending suffering for everyone but one person in their community. Their rationale being that one person has to have experience with it to be able to advise others in how to avoid it.

Crazy Anglican

Huh? What makes your life worth living? If the answer is religion for some. Then the answer is religion. You don't have to defend that. It's a perfectly reasonable answer.

Still the same people are spouting the same lines on both sides.

Crazy Anglican

As to making life worth living, It was a good weekend: I went to the wedding of a good friend's daughter. Lovely young lady, I remember the first time I laid eyes on her, in an incubator, hours after she was born. Her sister served as matron of honor and is sadly going through a divorce, so she need...

How dare you answer the OP's question honestly and just as he asked it? You sir, awaken the ire of the internet trolls

Crazy Anglican

It's an old sentiment around here, but I usually go with it.

Play to win
If you cannot win; play for a draw
If you cannot draw; give the solo away (play for a survive)
If you cannot throw the game; play for revenge.

Trump definitely nudged me toward the left too. I am not as sure as flash seems to be that overturning Roe v. Wade is a good thing for the country. I doubt seriously that there will be any mending of fences between Evangelicals and the left, since this will likely open the door to lots of state leve...

Things didn't really change until the first world war, when lots of young men were suddenly introduced to using and keeping guns. There was also the new and terrifying fear of Communist revolution in the air across Europe. The powers that be decided a heavily armed proletariat may not be a good ide...

Apparently there is a time limit on editing? Good to know, so there it is typos and all.
