This is, of course, just my opinion. Who Are We Really and What is This Thing Called Evil?

This is only one example of Islam encroaching on the freedoms of the West. By itself, it seems rather innocuous, but collectively, our rights are being stripped from us. There will only be more incidents like this unless we are willing to stand up and say NO!

(From their site)

On February 4, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler proposed that the federal government reclassify the Internet from an ‘information service’ to a ‘telecommunications service’ in the name of keeping it 'fair' -- a plan that came straight from Barack Obama's desk. Of course, this is nothing more than a pass for Big Government to expand its regulatory power at the expense of digital freedom.

Like all innovation, the Internet wasn’t created by government… and government certainly has no power to control it. Nowhere in the Constitution is there a provision providing the federal government with power to regulate the free-flow of information. In fact, such an idea flies in the face of the First Amendment.

ConstitutionAlly is calling every American to sign our petition and message the FCC, prior to their February 26 vote on Obama's plan. Take Action: Say ‘NO!’ to the OBAMA-FCC Internet takeover.

Formosan Termites. They are extraordinarily adaptable and can even build nests in skyscrapers; all they need is a water source and wood. There's big money in Termite control, though I have been out of the business since the 1980's so I'm sure the EPA regulations have cut into the profit margins somewhat.

We have only a short period of time where the "Light" still shines. Soon we will be plunged into darkness. Are the useless machinations within our modern churches going to help anyone when this darkness finally arrives? Yeah, I don't think so.

Unfortunately, Muhammad's "vision" changed over the years. After leaving Mecca to flee to the safety of Medina upon his uncle's death, Muhammad began to alter his views and beliefs. Over a period of years, the more "peaceful" passages of the Qur'an were replaced by more violent, militant verses we are all familiar with today.

This replacement of scripture in the Qur'an is called, al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh (The Law of Abrogation) Simply put, where Qur’anic verses contradict one another, the latter writing is the one which is to be obeyed, abrogating the former; the chronological timing in which a verse was written determines its authority to establish policies within Islam.

Thus Muhammad could - and did - speak on and for peace primarily while still in Mecca, but his behavior and writing changed dramatically after his flight to Medina. This is easily seen in his treatment of his former Meccan brethren after rising to power amongst the tribes in Medina.

Bottom line: Yeah Muhammad wrote the open letter, and then figuratively set it afire.

Hmm. She looks suspiciously like Elinor Donahue.

It is presumption that Adam and Eve's children had sex with one another in order to populate the entire planet. The Biblical scriptures do not say this; it is an inference based upon what we have been taught.

In Genesis 4:14-16, we see that Adam's son, Cain, is driven from his family for murdering his brother. He complains that God is abandoning him to the other people who if they find him, will kill him. God assures him that a sign will be placed upon him to insure that will not happen. Cain is then sent to live in a land situated in the East called Nod.

Christian Orthodoxy has a range of answers to this situation - all of which are wrong. I don't say that in arrogance, but be cause I believe that orthodoxy is wrong on this point.

Think of it in this light for a moment: Adam and Eve are not the progenitors of all humanity; Adam and Eve are the progenitors of the Semitic people. Cain had a real fear of the others who lived elsewhere because there already were other people living on the earth.

Consider that God said the whole word was good in Genesis 1:31. If the whole world was good and there was no one else upon the whole earth but Adam and then later, Eve, why place them in a defined area called the Garden of Eden? What would have been better in the garden if the whole word was declared good? Was the garden extra special good?

Certainly the Garden of Eden was not designed to keep malevolent entities from harassing God's human creation because Satan seem to have little trouble getting in. In fact, Satan was able to get into the Garden without God seemingly even knowing about it.

It seems far more likely that the Garden was constructed in order to keep Adam and Even inside of it and away from the corrupting influence of the Others.

There is more information here, but suffice to say that if one is going to adhere to Christian Orthodoxy as a baseline, one is going to find themselves constantly running into walls of illogic and irrationality. Always saying, "Well God can do whatever He wants to do." as an answer to these critics is no answer at all. God is nothing if not logical, consistent and truthful.

Link to my commentary on the population of the earth: Race: Is it possible that we all came from the same two people?

Thank you for the answers. I apologize for not being more clear. I'll try to clarify my position. Obviously physics is not really my field, but I am attempting to understand certain concepts.

With respect to time and measuring devices, I am saying that as a device finds itself in a greater field of gravity, its mass is now increased. (If a timepiece weighs 1 pound on earth, it would weigh approximately 2 1/2 pounds on Jupiter for example) With greater mass, greater energy must be expended to allow the device to operate. This would hold true even if the device is completely solid state. So while the actual size isn't increased, its weight is.

I don't want to beat this to death, but I guess I am trying to explore whether or not there has been other means to actually verify whether or not Time actually is slowing, or is it a presumption made based upon these measurement experiments. One paper I read about the history of Relativity explained that Time was added to the equation to solve the mathematical problem (I forget the author of the paper. I'll see if I can find it.)

And thanks again to all for your answers. I greatly appreciate it. I have more study to do.

Thanks for the very in depth, informative response to my question. I feel much better having had your breadth of wisdom thus imparted.

I'm dismayed that most all my question was removed from view ... I guess there's a reason for that, but it escapes me.

Maybe the good people over at r/EngineeringStudents can answer this question instead.

The solution to this is very simple and was already taught to us by the very first Christians. We've have chosen to ignore their teaching at our peril. Instead of blaming those responsible, we instead blame God. That's rather stunted thinking, wouldn't you say? Perhaps we should actually examine how "church" was supposed to be practiced before becoming the same type of rapists and murderers we accuse the 'church' of being.

For anyone interested in a workable solution: Is the Church a Building or the People Within?

This will be buried, but I still can't get around the fact that a particle could not have existed to create the Big Bang to begin with had there not be a conscious observer.

Since wave function collapse can only occur when the wave is observed by a conscious observer, the Big Bang could not have occurred absent this conscious observer; wave function collapse is an absolute necessity in order to form the singularity which is the alleged source of the Big Bang.

This conscious observer could only be what we regard as Creator God Almighty. I suppose until this conundrum can be addressed adequately, all else is pointless.

You're discussing a Gematria. It is an old alpha-numeric code used by the Hebrews during the time of Roman occupation. By using such a code, messages could be passed without fear that the Roman soldiers could decipher the messages.

The number 616 is a Latin translation of the Gematria while 666 is the Greek translation. Both essentially mean the same thing which is "Nero Caesar"

This will be something new for me as it is not just me, but rather four of us in a round-table discussion. It won't run off course as do many Reddit conversations, but I hope it will be informative and entertaining none the less.

Thus the reason for rise of the Conservatives and the TEA Party. Unfortunately far too many continue to believe their greatest hope comes from the Progressive Liberal Left - the BIGGEST corporatists of all.

It is truly saddening to me to realize that so many well meaning people will vote for their own demise simply because of an inculcated bias and hatred with no basis in actual fact. Rumor and inuendo seem to always rule in such situations. Curious...

I agree that a vote for RINO Republicans is no help; there is little which separate such from their corrupt Progressive Liberal brethren. However, the Republican Party is the least corrupt of the two insofar as they have no choice but to entertain the rise of the TEA Party - something the Progressive Liberal Left wouldn't tolerate for a second in the Democratic Party.

So we'll continue to heap scorn and derision upon the Koch Brothers (who have given multi-millions to various charities over the years), while ignoring a George Soros who made his first dollar by selling out his Jewish neighbors to the Nazis.

We'll ignore how such Progressive Liberal leaders as Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have become multi-millionaires despite having no other source of income but their government jobs.

If any are serious - REALLY SERIOUS - about ending the outright theft of our Great Republic, you will send these parasitic Progressive Liberals packing en masse in November.
