I'm getting worried LO. I saw Mythbusters advertising "Shark Week" on Discovery Canada, but so far no Moon Hoax stuff. Gillianren said that in the ad she seen for Shark Week that there was mention of the moon hoax, but I didn't see that. It wasn't the ad I saw for Shark Week; it was the ad I saw during Shark Week. They were in the Vomit Comet briefly, and Adam was wearing a fake spacesuit. Well, we don't have shark week yet. So, maybe next week I'll see what you saw this week.

Now you're talking about evil weather-controlling contrails? When is bigfoot going to make an appearance? Don't put words in anyone mouth, Jason. Who said that the contrails were evil?

By the way, I'm a little bit scared of how someone like David C. could abuse the forum's new ability to embed YouTube videos in posts. I'm on a broadband connection and this page took no time to load... does anyone else find it loads slowly? Nope.

I didn't have the patience to read the whole thread. It just amazes me how something can go on for so long with no questions being answered.

Barack Obama yesterday in Springfield, Missouri: As This blogger shows with a little back-of-the-envelope calculation, it would take about 11,300 years for America to save as much oil through proper tire inflation as the amount of oil estimated to be available in ANWR, the Outer Continental Shelf, and Oil Shale. I'd call that quote a blooper.

I think the answer is...currents. When I was in Newfoundland in 1989 Hurricane Dean came to town. Notice anything similiar?

That's "biases," Ginnie. Surely you learned "es" for pluralization in school! That was a long time ago...

The idea is that there might be some people out there who recognize Jesus as a great moral teacher without believing he had anything divine about him. If they like his teachings and try to live by them then they would be Christians in my book. So you would accept that someone could be both a Christian and an atheist? On those grounds I appear to qualify. What if you also recognise Buddha or Confucius or Socrates as great moral teachers? No, you'd be a Buddhistian, Confuciustian or Socratrian. ;D I should be a Omniian.

If you call yourself a Doctor or an Engineer, people will have expectations based on the title that you will be able to perform various services and/or give reliable advice for which you can expect to be legally accountable... If you call yourself a christian, there's no particular reason why anyone should care: there's no reason for them to expect you to behave any better, or indeed differently, to anyone else. If someone identifies them to me as a Christian, I do have preconceived notions, bias's (?) and expectations. Especially if that information is disclosed on first meeting. Maybe I shouldn't, but I do.

I still don't see how anyone can be a Christian if they don't believe Jesus is God. That's why I left the RC church - worshipping Jesus as God seemed wrong. Well, there were other reasons too but... By your definition, I could almost be a Christian.

I was brought up a Roman Catholic and baptized as such. It seemed that even after I left the church and became a quasi-Buddhist my family still considered me a RC. My grandmother would say, "But you were baptized", suggesting that it was impossible for me to believe any other way, or even if I did, I was still a RC. For years I never let her know that sometimes I ate meat on Good Friday.
