John McCain was "tortured" by Vietnamese bimbos. He liked it.

Dying for a lie is one thing. Dying by crucifixion where death can take days to arrive is another thing altogether. These men faced the worst torture the scientists of the day could invent and not one of the 12 ever recanted their story. That conviction makes their story a lot more plausible...

Is that really true about Asian vaginas?

I don't think it was an attack, it was a legitimate (admittedly difficult) question. Both Hosea and Matthew were written in cultures very different from our own, and from each other, so the definition of a prophecy and the definition of prophecy fulfillment are different from what we would...

The Bible is not intended to be an exhaustive encyclopedia of theological truth. It is simply a witness to the authenticity and authority of the historical Church. The fullness of theological truth, including doctrines like the Trinity, are defined by that authoritative Church.

If you asked Republicans if Obama is the direct love child of Satan and Jezebel a plurality would say Yes.

My opinion is that people with same-sex attraction that want to leave the homosexual lifestyle should be encouraged and not condemned.

If his point is that homosexuality is not a disease to be cured, the evidence he provides does not support or even relate to that conclusion. His argument is that Exodus is not an effective program. Even if Exodus is completely ineffective, it doesn't follow that homosexuality itself is...

You don't have to be an expert on a topic to be able to question a writer's objectivity and conclusions. It's called "critical reading". Whatever Stossel's reputation is, if this report is typical of his work then he is not a source that I would consider reliable and objective. His...

Stossel.

Replace "homosexuality" with "alcoholism" and "Exodus International" with "AA" and the tone of this doesn't change at all. It also makes Stossel sound like an ass. I've heard that alcoholism is incurable and I have no problem believing that; but the fact that you are attracted to take a drink...

The Jews had a very intricate view of prophecy, with prophecies having many interwoven meanings. Events in the Old Testament were foreshadows of greater messianic events that were to happen later. The foreshadows were mere shadows, so had imperfections that would not reoccur when the true...

I send money to a charity that does relief work in Mexico. Am I hurting the economy by sending my money down there? Is it actually any of anyone's business what I do with the money that I earned myself?
