Schiavo autopsy finally released... (the new religion thread
Originally posted by Elwing And the bible is defenitely clear on child sacrifice, with Isaac and everything. But it also asks that all first-born, human and animal, be sacrificed/redeemed. (Exodus 13) It DOES explain that an ass can be redeemed through the sacrifice of a sheep, and goes on to say t...

How in the world is "duty to God " not religious? Especially when you use the term as legal basis for booting atheists and agnostics out of your little club? You either have an extremely skewed idea of what religion is or you're arguing just to argue. I have a feeling it's the latter, and ...

Whether you really run into the Evangelism part of it depends on the troop...mostly because it will depend on your troop leader. However, on an OFFICIAL level, they are a Christian organization, or at least likes to think of themselves as such in the same way America is "based on Christian valu...

Yes, the green pigs are definitely NOT for eating, as they're not only green, but also "transgenic"...which, IIRC, means that they have inserted genes which make them more human-compatible (originally for organ transplants but more recently for research that is illegal or distasteful to do...

So, Angelique, the only way you would be happy is if the military provided for your beliefs, specifically. Well, then, to be constitutional in essentially subsidizing your religion, they'd have to hire a representative for every religion of every soldier in the military. In that instance, you'd have...

How'd you kill your hand for a few months?? Even an all-night cut off of blood flow/pinching of nerves to put a body part to sleep usually wakes up in a few minutes, no? What'd you do to it?

Not to mention that there's not enough water on the planet to cause a global flood...and if there was, we'd all drown breathing the air...because it would be something like 80% water vapor...

Most like Shadowcat, with Beast behind by 5% and Nightcrawler behind by 10%.
Least like Archangel. Apparently, I'm not a moody playboy.

On the Giants... In my opinion, it's almost definitely all a hoax of some sort. Most likely, it seems, it's a marketing campaign...possibly for Shadow of Colossus, a videogame. I think this because, from a storytelling pov, it all fits a "Rate of Revelation" type setup...as well as there's...
