We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness o [...] 10/09/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: Two Civilized Men Among the Barbarians08/01/04 :: Article :: Don't ignore differences! :: The Vatican reminds us that women are different from men, hurray!07/21/05 :: Reference :: (link) :: The Myth of Marriage07/02/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: United States divorce statistics07/02/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: World-wide divorce statistics 11/06/05 :: Article :: Why should christians be surprised? ::  05/02/04 :: Article :: South Park and The Passion :: Thoughts on the movie's impact 12/17/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: The Christian Research Institute - Rape, Marriage, and the Significance of Sex: Why Traditional Values Matter07/21/05 :: Article :: New notes on marriage [Scratchbook] :: Have you read the fine print?03/02/04 :: Article :: Anti-discrimination and the Church :: Should you be worried about gay marriage because your church doesn't want to officiate such things?01/09/04 :: Article :: Think of the children! :: Would you dare to raise your child in a sub-ideal environment?12/18/03 :: Article :: Marriage answers from Ransom :: My answers to Unordained's questions on marriage11/23/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: Praying Doesn't Help11/02/04 :: Message :: Circumventing marriage laws11/01/04 :: Quote :: ensisHere's a random wondering I had a moment ago. I think it proves true but it may need some work.
The difference between a fool and an atheist is that a fool scoffs at things he doesn't know he doesn't understand, and an atheist scoffs at things he knows he doesn't understand.

If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. 09/04/03 :: Quote :: Terry PratchettGod does not play dice with the universe. He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time. 09/04/03 :: Quote :: Thomas ReidWe laugh at the Indian philosopher, who to account for the support

Less good when they obey and acclaim him.
Worse when they fear and despise him.
Fail to honor people, and they fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
they will say, "We did this ourselves."
