Creationism Vs. Evolution Smackdown
PopTodd replied to lost highway's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
The bottom line is: What I believe is what I believe. And, if religion is what helps you get through the day, who am I to say that what you believe is not true? Why can't there be multiple truths? I have friends who had it real rough for a long time: drugs, alcohol, mental illness: and finding religion is what saved their lives. Literally. That kind of power has to have SOMEthing behind it, right? And who am I to take it away from them? I think that most of you would agree, probably. And also, like most of you, the only time that I have an issue with it is when somebody tries to impose their -

A Jew, myself, I have been filled to the brim with Holocaust stories. So sick of hearing the tales, even as I understand the importance of keeping them alive. Nonetheless, this does sound compelling. And, for the first time in a long time, I actually want to read something like this... in this genre, as it were. Thanks for the heads-up.

I mean, the thing is... I believe in science: the Big Bang and all that. But, something had to come before. Given the theory of the conservation of matter: WHAT (or WHO) created the matter that coalesced into the tiny, dense thing that exploded out, becoming the universe? Science can't explain it, so it had to be something beyond our comprehension. I mean, obviously it is. Call it what you will: some just choose to call it God. I'm cool with that. -

Phil A - Sing Along Until You Feel Better Fucking brilliant album of pure Beatlesque pop songs that a friend of mine just released. Produced by Ken Stringfellow (Posies). Amazing backstory behind this one, too. I think I've shared it with you all before. But, now it's done, released, and goddamn good! and then...

I said the same thing to my wife, while we were watching. She just rolled her eyes at me.

Lots o' folks called the game "boring". Personally, I enjoy watching a dominant defense. And, with the multitude of ways that the Seahawks found to score, I would hardly say that it was a boring game. One-sided? Duh! But not boring.

Charlie: Thanks SO much for that YouTube! That was awesome! Just a joy! -
I won't say that he made a fan out of me. He didn't. His recorded material still leaves me totally flat. But I'll be damned if Bruno can't bring it, live.

You just outed yourself as a comic geek. And, I guess that I just did, too. (Or, once-upon-a comic geek, really.) And that guitar that Dylan is playing in that pic is NOT the guitar that I want. That's a '72; I ordered a '69. I am not a fan of Fender humbuckers. And yeah, it's been just about a year. I guess they only do periodic production runs of this model. Have to set up the line and all that. The reason I've been so patient is because this is the guitar that I have wanted for some 20 years. I've waited this long just to be able to afford to set aside little bits of money for the guit -
I think it is. There are different criteria for "favorite" and "best". "Best" implies some sort of objective criteria are being applied. "Favorite" gives not a whiff of shit about objectivity; it's all about what moves you.
