Doesn't this belong in the book section? Or is that the place where new topics have to be started by a bookish mod? Anyway, Chesterton is long enough ago that pretty much everything he wrote, in its original editions anyway, is out of copyright, and well enough known that most or all of it is in the...

it was a close knit community that only would have children with each other, even after immigrating to North/South America. We have a word for that in English, but I'm sure there are many words used to describe it in Canada. Although, I was under the impression that Quebec was where most of the inb...

And most people that dumb probably can't afford to do that, anyway... However, the point isn't anything about the Middle East, it's a...

Re: photos...
I don't know what this store is, since it was closed, but I had to take a picture. "Petra" is a number of things besides the name of an Enderverse character. Two somewhat more likely to describe a whole store are an ancient city in the Near East carved all out of rose-read stone, and a Ch...

I think the classic example of the FDA testing might be thalidomide. Back when I was a kid, there was this new drug in Europe that was something of a tranquilizer, and was wonderful for morning sickness in pregnancy. (That might not sound very life-threatening to you, but one of my daughter's classm...

Spoilers! :!: I have to disagree, but probably I wasn't reading it as a plain novel. To me, from the very beginning, it seemed to be more Myth, but this time a Christological allegory-- the Black American culture only got in the way for me, but it was an interesting setting for it. One thing that s...

I didn't understand a lot of The Worthing Saga . It still kind of escapes me, plus whenever he used a dead baby as stage dressing I was affected probably more than he meant for a reader to be. Similar to his essay about why he removed the n-word from Ender's Game . There can be dead babies, just no...

Individuals are cannibalistic. Species are not. I disagree. Humans are a cannibalistic species because individuals of our species occasionally eat each other and we have the capacity to engage in cannibalism. I'd say we are one of the few truly cannibalistic races simply because we acknowledge what...

Thats because we havne't had anyone talking to God who didn't prove themselves crazy anyways for about two thousand years. If it happened even moderately often, people would take it a lot more seriously. Lots of very sane people talk to God all the time, and nobody considers it crazy: it's called &...

Wait. Sybil, are you saying God only answers prayers if they won't have a major effect? I'm saying that he answers prayers if they are in accordance with His Will, and if they will actually be blessings (e.g., a kid wants a new bicycle, but if he got it he might feel superior to his friends, and sh...

Re: Determinism.
Was wondering everyone's thought on this subject. Personally I hate the idea of none of my decisions being truly my own decision. I also think that if there is a god then determinism must exist. If God knows everything then he certainly would know how our entire lives are going to play out. I don't...

Re: The Power of Prayer
I've never understood this: God has a master plan on how everything is going to work and how everything is going to turn out. He has a master plan, and presumably a good one. However, if someone prays for intercession, which amounts to asking God nicely for a favor, He'll change his master plan (i....
